ACCUSED: Jerome Booysen

Advocate Amanda Nel cross-examined the witness, known as Mr X, who has been testifying against alleged underworld boss Jerome “Donkie” Booysen and 11 other co-accused.

The accused face an array of charges linked to the death of Wainstein and violent clashes in the nightclub security industry dating back nearly 10 years ago.
