This allegation and others were made by advocate Malesela Teffo during the cross-examination of Sergeant Thabo Mosia at the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday.
However, Teffo claimed in court that the DNA results taken from the hat came back and confirmed it was worn by a woman. He then asked Mncube to stand up so the witness could confirm he was a man.

Mosia said he had not received such information from other police officers at the scene and as a result did not take the walking stick as evidence. He added that the walking stick was confirmed to have belonged to one of the people in the house at the time of the shooting.
