## Resource

Thoshan Panday and his crew are fighting to have a major criminal case thrown out, citing unreasonable delays since his arrest in October 2020 — but the prosecution, led by Senior State Advocate Talita Louw, insists they’ve been ready to trial from day one. The charges? Racketeering, fraud, corruption, and money laundering — all tied to a rigged police tender during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Durban High Court heard arguments Friday and reserved judgment, leaving everyone waiting for a decision that could reshape this high-stakes legal battle.
