Dear forum users,
Due to legal restrictions in the ongoing Cheeki Rafiki trial, we have had to remove all comments regarding the case.
Our legal team are looking into this and we will advise you once we have further information.
In the interim it would be appreciated if you did not post any further comments in this regard.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Stef
