Lusikisiki massacre trial resumes with cross-examination on Monday


The first accused in the Lusikisiki massacre murder trial, Mzukisi Ndamase, has continued his cross-examination of the section 204 witness, Lwando Abi, in the high court sitting in Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape.

Ndamase’s line of questions focused on their relationship and the information provided by Abi in his testimony. The relationship between Ndamase and Abi allegedly began in prison, where they were both incarcerated.

Allegations made by Abi include that Ndamase put out the order to kill a number of people, including a councillor, a chief and a police officer in Lusikisiki.

 

Ndamase refutes all the allegations against him, saying his criminal activities relate to cash-in-transit heists and other robberies, not drugs and murder. Ndamase will continue cross-examining Abi on Monday.
