Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial | 13 September 2023
The cross-examination of state witness, Constable Sizwe Zungu is expected to continue in the Senzo Meyiwa trial in the high court in Pretoria. The court adjourned early after one of the accused fell ill.
BACKGROUND: Zungu earlier testified that he was in the company of all five of the accused, during a get-together hosted by his nephew on that fateful day.
Lawyer for accused 1 and 2 - advocate Sipho Ramosepele - has re-opened his cross-examination in the high court in Pretoria. This follows an earlier ruling by Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng that no other statement exists of state witness Constable Sizwe Zungu except the one currently before the court. The defence lawyers had said that there was a handwritten and a typed statement.
Five men are on trial for the murder of the Bafana Bafana soccer star who was shot and killed in Vosloorus east of Johannesburg in 2014. Ramosepele has questioned Zungu regarding his service pistol while he was at a party and consuming alcohol at the Bashotho hostel in Vosloorus.

Wise submission from adv Mnisi and the rest of the defense.
Zungu never reported the issue because his nephew Also killed Snakho he was only considered about the gun if it was thrown into the river what a worse corrupt cop witness of state so ashamed
For the third time, if not forth, the evidence is not complete, correct and convincing Bathong! This is not right! Does the state understand that this whole exercise is not about them winning the case or anybody else, but about truthfulness to seek justice for the poor family and their son Senzo. They must now stop this nonsensical act. The poor accused cannot be pinned to something that is so clear by now that its questionable that they really did kill Senzo. Just because they committed crimes in the past does not guarantee that they did it.

Remember this witness is the only one who can connect the 5 accused to voslorus. So the defence needs to grill him and show the loop wholes. Ginindas statement is based on what he heard from Zungu. He can't connect the 5 to voslo let alone to the murder. Gininda will just come to contradict himself and Zungu
How come gwabini is not amongst the accused if zungu reported these guys though. Gwabini also took part in it. Why did he leave him out

Allegedly: he needs Gwabini to corroborate his story so he can’t out all of them else it will expose his involvement too. Coz to me it doesn’t make sense that he himself was just an observer, they invited him and he was just there looking and being a fly on the wall. Both he and Gwabini are supposed to be among the 5 if he is telling the truth

The judge watched the news last night. The legal expert on Newzweek Africa chastised him for interference in the case. Suddenly his calmer and even claims to be fair. For the very first time he rolled his eyes at Baloyi. But towards the end we saw glimpses of his former self as he told off Mshololo. The unseen and silent (spiritual) war going on in this case is very huge.
