9 November 1993
Brigadier Joshua Oupa Qqozo, military leader of Ciskei homeland, went on trial in the Ciskei Supreme Court. He faced charges of murder or incitement to murder, relating to the killing of Lieutenant Charles Sebe during a coup attempt in January, 1991. The judge rejected the view of Qqozo's counsel that under common law principles, established under English Law, the head of state could not be prosecuted, saying that he saw no link between the English law prerogative that the monarch can do no wrong and Qqozo.
