"The issue is about the second docket not having been announced or made known to all concerned sooner rather than later. "Maybe I am missing something. "I'm not even sure what we are doing here as we are not busy with the trial regarding the killing of Senzo Meyiwa instead we are busy with side issues."

Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela of the Pretoria high court has allowed a statement by deceased Brig Philani Ndlovu to be used as hearsay evidence during ...

Mshololo on Monday argued her client’s rights were impeded by the existence of another docket, as it could have helped him better prepare for trial ahead of pleading. After going into chambers, Maumela said both parties had agreed she would no longer pursue the application in the interest of the trial. Mosia said he found Ndlovu on his arrival at the house, and he pointed out key evidence to him as he worked the scene.

The lawyer representing one of five men accused of murdering former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa, has abandoned an application for a special entry.

News24 previously reported on the existence of two police dockets in the case. Maumela did note that the discovery of the second docket did not benefit all the parties on an equal footing because Mshololo received the docket during the trial. After the meeting in his chambers, Maumela said there was a strong feeling that the application was tantamount to killing a dead snake as the issues raised by Mshololo were on record.

After eventually arriving at the crime scene, Mosia said he was “directed” by Ndlovu as to what evidence he should collect and look out for. He conceded in his ...

“I did not point any scene or exhibits to him [Mosia] as I was not in charge of the crime scene. After eventually arriving at the crime scene, Mosia said he was “directed” by Ndlovu as to what evidence he should collect and look out for. I was supposed to call the crime scene management team before starting the case,” Mosia testified. In fact, I was not supposed to start that crime scene. The statement was contained in the second of two case dockets opened for Meyiwa’s October 2014 murder. During her application to use Ndlovu’s statement against Mosia, Mshololo told the court that the defence would utilise the document to “test the credibility” of Mosia and the testimony the forensic officer had given since the start of the trial in April.

However, Mosia also admitted in court that despite not having obtained the address from Ndlovu, he had found Ndlovu at the crime scene and that he had taken pictures of the crime scene under his instruction. It is in the interest of justice. This is the view of Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela at the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday.

JOHANNESBURG - After many twists, turns and court dramas, the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial resumes this morning. Accused number 1 to 4 are now no longer ...

The murder trial of former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa is set to resume at the Pretoria high court on Monday.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has clarified the position of a second docket in the case. “Those police officers were apparently frustrated by the lack of progress in the investigation and probably thought that the six witnesses who were in the house when the incident happened were not truthful when they mentioned that the attackers intruded in the house,” the NPA said on Wednesday. It was opened in January 2019 by two police officers who were part of the initial investigating team, when there was an impasse in the investigation.

The murder trial against the five men accused of killing former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa is set to resume on Monday.

The state's alleged failure to disclose the second docket into footballer Senzo Meyiwa's 2014 murder — which was opened in January 2019 — was unlawful and ...

He is expected to conclude his testimony this week, when the state will call its second witness. “It is submitted that the state denied the applicant of his constitutional right of access to all information available regarding this case. If an aspect is on record, there is no need for a special entry. “We therefore submit that the application for the special entry should be dismissed. Further to that, the state denied the applicant the right to apply to the court for an order compelling the state to furnish the defence with information [and] particulars contained in the police docket Vosloorus CAS 375/01/2019, the ‘second police docket’.” “It is therefore submitted that the right to a fair trial of the accused, entrenched in the Constitution, has been violated by failure on the part of the state to provide sufficient information to the defence before any evidence is led,” Mshololo contended.
