Former Bafana Bafana Captain Senzo Meyiwa’s murder trial is expected to resume at the High Court in Pretoria on Monday morning.
This comes after the second witness on behalf of accused number three, Mthobisi Mncube, concluded his testimony on Thursday.
Thalente Ntombela, who is related to accused number one, Muzi Sibiya, disputed the evidence of key state witness Constable Sizwe Zungu, alleging that he was with the five accused the day the soccer captain was murdered.
Ntombela also accused Zungu of lying, as he was in KwaZulu-Natal on the day in question in 2014.
Leading the cross-examination, State Prosecutor Adv Ronnie Sibanda asked, “Is it correct that Sinakho (Sibiya) was staying at the same village with yourself and you grew up in one homestead?”
Ntombela responded, “Yes”.
Sibanda probed, “You testified that Sinakho grew up in the villages; when did he come to Johannesburg?”
Ntombela replied, “2017”
Sibanda inquired, ” But was that the first time he moved to Gauteng?”
Ntombela answered, “Yes and has never set foot in Gauteng before that.”
