Sword attack case held up by taxi go-slow

The sentencing of a schoolboy for killing a fellow student with a sword
was temporarily postponed in the High Court in Johannesburg on Monday
due to a **taxi protest**.
Proceedings in the sentencing of Morne Harmse were delayed as the
stenographer was not able to get to work on time due to a taxi go-slow
to **protest against the introduction of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
system** which was launched on Sunday.
The Krugersdorp schoolboy killed 16-year-old Jacques Pretorius with an
ornamental Samurai sword at the Nic Diederichs Technical High School on
the West Rand last August.
