Distraught Overport mother, Nadia Harmse, appeals for witnesses to testify against her son's murderer.

After five months, no witnesses have come forward to testify against the man accused of murdering her son earlier this year.

Her son, Bilal `Blows` Harmse (23) of Ayesha Court, Brickfield Road, was stabbed once below the right shoulder on Sparks Road and bled to death an hour later on 1 March.

Nadia Harmse has gone to great lengths to find anyone to stand witness against her sons murderer, whom she believes is an Overport drug dealer.

The case was heard on 3 July at Durban Magistrates Court and remanded to September for further investigation. An intense standoff ensued between Harmse and the accused at the court.

Sydenham SAPS Station Commissioner Senior Supt. Glen Nayager ensured that witnesses would be offered protection.

"The investigating officer has indicated to me that the accused and no witnesses have come forward to give statements to the police as yet, however eyewitnesses are welcome to give statements. Their identities will be withheld and their protection will be ensured."

"As any parent in this position, I am concerned justice will not prevail. I plead with the community to assist me in ending my family’s suffering,” begged Harmse.

Harmse vowed that the accused would not get away with her sons murder.
