According to the third accused in lawyer Pete Mihalik's murder, Cape Town's second-hand gold buyers have never asked him any questions about the second-hand gold and jewellery he sells to them on behalf of third parties. | itchybyte
None of Cape Town's second-hand gold dealers show any interest in the goods put before them for purchase by sellers off the street.None of the dealers are willing to vouch for his alibi that he was doing a Krugerrand deal at the time of the murder.
"Not even once did someone ask me where I got the gold," he testified in the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday. They say that when Mihalik was shot, they were far away in the parking lot of a Spar in Green Point, in a VW Polo negotiating with a potential buyer. And that is why cellphone towers place them in the area.
The third buyer, Marc Orten, who he said he eventually sold 11 coins to for R200 000, emigrated to the United Kingdom.Maliti testified that his arrest in November 2018 changed his life profoundly. Khumalo was the first to be arrested not long after the murder due to a serendipitous traffic stop. Through the contact number saved on his cellphone, his cousin Biyela was traced to the Bellville bus terminus, bound for Durban.Maliti testified that after his arrest he had to transfer ownership of his two taxis kept at the Delft rank to his father to keep the annual taxi roadworthy permits up to date.
