The defence was told by Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng to prepare an argument on the admissibility of constable Sizwe Zungu’s statement, following their questioning of its discrepancies.
JOHANNESBURG - The admissibility of a witness statement in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial is likely to be disputed in the Pretoria High Court on Monday morning, after the defence challenged an affidavit by an eyewitness.
The Bafana Bafana captain was shot at the home of his girlfriend, singer Kelly Khumalo, in October 2014. The lawyer for the third accused, advocate Charles Mnisi, said he could not cross-examine Zungu without seeing the original notes.“If you saw those mistakes, why did he not go back to the person writing the statement and say, ‘you made a mistake here’? The statement has been read to him.”
