Defence witness Qiniselani Buthelezi, an inmate from KwaZulu-Natal, is expected to continue with his testimony at the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Monday morning in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case.

On Friday, Buthelezi denied knowing accused number two, Bongani Ntanzi.

This follows an affidavit by the late key witness Simphiwe Buthelezi, which allegedly linked Ntanzi to a firearms and ammunition supply network used by hitmen across the country.

Ntanzi and his co-accused are on trial for the 2014 murder of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa, who was shot and killed at the Vosloorus home of singer Kelly Khumalo’s mother in Ekurhuleni.

Responding to defence counsel Sipho Ramosepele, Buthelezi last week denied any knowledge of the allegations.

Ramosepele asked: “Brigadier Gininda said the suspect linking you and Mr Ntanzi to the firearm and ammunition network was Simphiwe Buthelezi. Do you know anything about that?

Buthelezi replied: “That is not true. I also think they are saying things that are not true about Simphiwe being my brother. I do not believe Simphiwe knew Ntanzi, and Ntanzi did not know Simphiwe either.”-Reporting by Lerato Makola
