Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial | Witness accused of cooking evidence

Longwe Twala shot and killed soccer star Senzo Meyiwa. This is the startling claim made by Thulani Mngomezulu, the lawyer representing accused number one, Muzi Sibiya.
During cross examination of Sergeant Batho Mogola, one of the investigators, Mngomezulu even accused police of a cover up.
As SABC News Senior Reporter Chriselda Lewis reports from the High Court in Pretoria.

[@user-dy1pi3mc4s]

​@@buhlemthembubecause Baloyi is already telling the court that Mr Ivin Khoza denied that he tell Sfiso Meyiwa about the death of Senzo so where's the court is going to with that evidence because it's a hearsay

[@Olcool]

This is the truth. We need a lawyer like Mngo, who does not hide the truth. Mngo is the new Tefo.

[@ZemkorConsulting-ho4dv]

Mngomezulu likes to make statements in court. Surprisingly when his clients are under cross examination they denied to have given him such instructions. That is the reason Acc one has decided to dish him because he make statement that exposed his client to harsh examination that they cannot explain themselves out of that situation. He is using a docket that is not part of this proceedings. He knows that Khoza has put the statement mentioning that he denied such claims made by Sfiso.

[@user-dy1pi3mc4s]

Court is not relying on hearsay I was thinking that because Sifiso Meyiwa is working at SAPS even if he is a cleaner he supposed to know that

[@zuzadeyi4105]

He is so reckless..

[@KayDayce]

So Zandi and Longwe hid gun injuries from the public and police. How do you explain Kelly calling the accused killers and her also having the same unique picture of money as on their phone. This lawyer is reachig

[@MrStokes83]

Allegedly all planted evidence

[@katlobothokenosi1055]

Zandile has never hid that, she mentioned even here in court that when the first shot went off and hit the floor, the fragments hit her leg As for longwe, highly possible as it was claimed he went to rehab after the incident If you listened to the cellphone guy, you can make a conclusion about how dodgy it seems pertaining the pictures in those said phones. The dates for the pictures don’t make any sense..Even the contacts identified through trucaller weren’t conclusive as had more that 10people with same names as accused from trucaller The problem is when you watch the trial from clips,, watch the whole thing and you will see how the state cooked evidence

[@mishacievertz259]

Im thinking... Mm... Maybe zenzo did die by the hands of longwe..kelly just called people she knew to quickly make up a story of a burgler, showed them the money to persuade them to do the job... Meaning senzo was already dead on their arrival... The hat was just planted to make the "robbery" more true so to say
