Defence witness Zungu denies making statement tying accused to Meyiwa murder


Defence witness Sifiso Gwabini Zungu has distanced himself from a signed statement linking the five accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, to his killing.

Gwabini is testifying for the defence at the High Court in Pretoria where the 2014 murder trial of the Bafana Bafana captain is under way.

It’s alleged that Gwabini hosted a gathering at a hostel in Vosloorus, on Gauteng’s East Rand, where all the five accused were spotted the day of the murder.

According to a statement said to have been provided by Gwabini, all the accused were involved in the murder and two of them admitted to the contract killing.

However, when State prosecutor George Baloyi took him through that statement, Gwabini denied everything.

Gwabini: No, I don’t know anything.

Baloyi: If you say you don’t know anything, does that mean it was not explained to you?

Gwabini: I know nothing because there was a point that you advocate Baloyi tried to read something to me and I said I don’t know this statement.
