"In the period of eight years, small details like what a person was wearing fades away. What doesn't die is the person's face," Khumalo said at the Pretoria High Court on Friday.Mncube and his co-accused – Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli – are standing trial for premeditated murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, possession of firearms without a licence, and possession of ammunition.
Mnisi was cross-examining Khumalo on the evidence she led in court this week, and he asked her what accused number one, Sibiya, was wearing on the day. "My eyes were on the face, hair, and how the person's body is built. Finer details of the colour and brands of the clothes the perpetrators were wearing go away with time," she said. Khumalo told the court earlier this week that Sibiya had been wearing a hoodie that night.He was darkish, had dreads, facial contours, he was not tall and wearing a hat.Minisi asked her if accused number two, Ntanzi, had any object in his hand during the attack. Khumalo said no.
Mnisi told Khumalo that another witness, Mthokozisi Thwala, would testify that Ntanzi had held a knife in his hand. "I cannot comment on what Mthokozisi put in his statement. That is his statement, and I cannot simply agree with it because that's his version. That's what he saw. What I'm saying to you is what I saw," Khumalo replied.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
