Goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa in action
The Senzo Meyiwa trial is expected to resume on Monday morning at the High Court in Pretoria after the state requested for more time to furnish the defence with vehicle tracking data. This pertains to vehicles used by officers when some of the accused were arrested.
Five men are on trial for the 2014 murder of the Bafana Bafana captain.
Meyiwa was shot and killed while at Kelly Khumalo’s parental home in Vosloorus on Gauteng’s East Rand.
The requested vehicle tracking data from defence counsel Charles Mnisi pertains to vehicles involved when accused number one, Muzi Sibiya, was arrested on the 30th of May 2020. The information is central to the defence of Sibiya, who alleges he was taken from Tembisa to a different location – where he was allegedly assaulted.
State prosecutor George Baloyi said last week that they are still in the process of gathering that information.
Meanwhile, defence counsel Sipho Ramosepele has also requested data on the vehicles that transported accused number 2, Bongani Ntanzi, following his June 2020 arrest.
Ntanzi also alleges he was assaulted and coerced into signing the confession before court.
