Not much.

Western Cape police could not comment on a report on Friday that Shrien Dewani, widower of murdered tourist Anni Dewani, was a suspect in the investigation.
“The case is already pending in court so we can't give anymore comments to the media,” spokesman Captain Frederick van Wyk said.
The Mail&Guardian reported that two “highly reliable” sources - who were not named - close to the investigation, said that Shrien was now a suspect in the murder of his Swedish wife in Cape Town.
The newspaper reported that investigations were taking place to persuade Dewani to return to South Africa voluntarily.
If he returned he would be charged and arrested.
Dewani flew out of Cape Town four days after his wife's body was found in Khayelitsha.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesman in the Western Cape Eric Ntabazilila told Sapa on Friday that the NPA could not confirm the reports either.
“Police are doing the investigation so they are the people you need to speak to.
“The NPA does not have that information,” he said.
Dewani, 30, told a British newspaper earlier in the week that he rejected speculation that he was somehow involved in the incident earlier this month.
He told The Sun newspaper: “People who suggest this could not have seen us together.”
Anni Dewani's father had also spoken out in support of his daughter's husband.
Vinod Hindocha issued a statement on Monday, saying: “Further to recent reports in several newspapers I would like to state that my relationship with Shrien is a good one and I love him like a son.
“Whoever did this to my daughter are criminals who need to be caught and put behind bars.
“I have always supported Shrien and I will continue to do so throughout this horrendous ordeal.”
Anni, 28, and Shrien Dewani were married for two weeks when they were attacked by two armed men who hijacked their shuttle service vehicle near Gugulethu.
They were in Cape Town for their honeymoon. The couple was apparently returning from a dinner in Somerset West at the time of the attack.
The couple's driver on the night, Zola Tonga, 31, appeared in court on Monday in connection with the murder of Anni.
He and another man, Mzwamadoda Qwabe, 26, from Khayelitsha, appeared at the Wynberg Regional Court in Cape Town to face charges of murder and hijacking.
The police said Tonga was in the process of consulting the Director of Public Prosecutions about a possible plea bargain.
The first accused Xolile Mngeni, 23, was arrested last week Tuesday.
The case was adjourned to next Monday while further investigations are carried out. - Sapa

That's always been the case - she hadn't been naturalised yet.
wait until she becomes who she is (Indian)

Nope - her family originally came from Uganda. She would only be Indian by race - and only maybe, at that.
My family came from the UK a few hundred years ago, does that make me an Englishman ?
This is a friend who they're quoting, not actually Dewani. I think a lot of this is also British tabloid sensationalising the whole thing, it's all from the Daily Mail.
But you're right, and the cops handling his case are not very likely to be taking bribes over this. I'd say that's a total stickman argument here unless he has any kind of proof that the top investigators are being corrupted in this massively high profile case. He then goes on to say that it's political pressure that is actually making the cops "frame" Dewani.
I'm not taking any of this seriously until there are actual facts in court.

A person's laywer can deal with the media on their behalf, Alf. This happens on a daily basis. A publicist is not required for that.
A publicist is for someone who has a high profile public reputation to protect. I am not aware that he is so well-known in the UK ... but maybe someone can shed light on this.

No matter what the subject is there is always a user that has a "reliable inside source" hmm?
:wtf:
1.) Last of last week my sister he fixed his car - Eh Pa ???!!!! English please.
2.) Mass Murders do not happen in SA. The Murder Rate is High but please.....
This uneducated post, to say the least, is what foreign people see on the net and this is what SA is judged by.

this guy is an idiot, his strory changes constantly, first he said she wanted to see the "real africa" and asked to go to gugulethu and now he claims the driver offered to show them "african dancing" and they merely agreed, he also said at one point the driver got lost... changing stories are a dead giveaway

Ja, that's true, it could be. If I were him, I would be here already identifying those bastards that killed my wife, but hey that's just me, I don't know what the man is going through, I've never lost a wife in such a tragic way. I hope for his sake, all these media stories are just hot air and the wife's killers are brought to book so that he can have some sort of closure.
Never heard of him until his wife's death. Besides the initial reports following the murder, no mention on BBC, ITV or Sky since. I don't watch Channel 4. No mention in The Times, Gaurdian or Telegraph that I could see. Although I haven't bothered to search for anything.
Not really. Foreign people don't take that much notice if what is said here or on IOl. As far the Daily Mail goes, you probably don't want the average Daily Mail reader in your country anyway, not that they could even afford to get the airport on their benefits

Good point. When people can't stick to one story they tend to be full of s**t.

You jack-assness made you overlook the real meaning of what I said.
I did not discuss his guilt or otherwise. I discussed the methods and persons he chose to defend himself.

THANKS.
It offends me when I hear the statement, "Your listening to Cape Talk Radio"
