BENONI – Alleged serial rapist Sipho Lucas Phiri says his right to a fair trial outweighs the principles of open justice.
He claims televising the trial will endanger the safety of his family and subject his children to bullying.
Phiri is appealing a decision that granted eNCA permission to broadcast court proceedings.
