“That is the man”: Senzo Meyiwa's friend points out accused in dock ... (Independent Online)

Senzo Meyiwa's friend, Tumelo Madlala, has fingered Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi as one of the assailants on the night that the soccer star was murdered.

We don’t even know what are the issues the State is intending to introduce before the court. That’s why I asked for a break because I was annoyed to be in the same room as that person.” We need to be furnished with the heads of arguments on what the State intends to bring in the honourable court. They argued that the witness was unreliable. That is the man who had his beard cut,” said Madlala pointing directly at Ntanzi. If you can state or inform the court who is that person making you uncomfortable?” Baloyi asked Madlala.

The witness first testified that he called Meyiwa's brother from the hospital but then said he made the call from Kelly Khumalo's house.

“I called Sifiso even before we departed from the scene. Madlala is expected to continue his testimony on Friday. They are remanded in custody. No one heard me speak to Sifiso,” Madlala responded. Thobane reminded Madlala about his Wednesday testimony; that he had used the phone of a female neighbour to call his family, as well as the Meyiwa family. “That’s when the deceased wrestled with him [Longwe] and gave the firearm to Kelly Khumalo,” Thobane asserted, adding that Kelly Khumalo “accidently shot” Meyiwa and that Longwe ran out of the house.
