Senzo Meyiwa murder trial postponed

Senzo Meyiwa‘s murder trial has been postponed until Tuesday. The judge postponed to allow lawyers to consult the accused on new statements from the State.

In another way, accused five had just been ambushed by the State… to reveal such critical statements at the 11th hour,” she said.

In response to this, prosecutor George Baloyi said three witness statements had been disclosed to the defence later than the rest of the dockets because the three witnesses had feared for their lives. Baloyi said that some of these witnesses had been placed in witness protection.

Mshololo also said that she was having difficulty consulting with her client.

Ntuli is currently serving time in KwaZulu-Natal after he was convicted of the murder of an ANC ward councillor and others.
