Goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa of South Africa’s Orlando Pirates is beaten by a goal made by Mohamed Aboutrika of Egypt’s Al Ahli during the first leg of their African Champions League final soccer match at Orlando Stadium in Soweto November 2, 2013.
Accused number two in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Bongani Ntanzi, says police could easily include his personal details in the alledged confession statement because they were in possession of his identity document.
Ntanzi is under cross-examination at the High Court in Pretoria, where he and four others face charges related to the 2014 murder of Senzo Meyiwa.
State Prosecutor George Baloyi is taking Ntanzi through the contents of the alleged confession he is said to have made before Lieutenant-Colonel Solomon Raphadu at Moroka Police Station in Soweto.
Baloyi: Right at the top is written, confession and admission. It says on the 19th of June 2020 at 06:50, Lieutenant- Col Raphadu was contacted by Colonel Gininda, to say there is someone, and it says suspect name, Bongani, Sandiso Ntanzi, who wants to make a statement. Now, the question is, how would Lieutenant-Col Raphadu have known about your name?
Ntanzi: I saw him in possession of my ID. And the other thing that I would like to emphasise, my Lord, I never said that I want to make a statement.
