Overview
- On Friday, the defence played video footage in court and argued it shows no connection between accused Victor Majola and the killing.
- Attorney Dumisani Mabunda is seeking to reopen the case, saying a media outlet circulated CCTV the defence had requested and that Majola does not appear in it.
- The Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court previously dismissed a defence bid for the footage, citing that the only official copy is at the Pretoria forensic lab.
- An affidavit from a Soweto mechanic submitted by the defence asserts Majola was fixing a car at the time of the shooting.
- State prosecutor Vincent Mochabela opposed bail in the schedule 6 matter, and Magistrate Annalise Tlhapi postponed the decision to Monday, 26 January.
