Overview
- The Pretoria High Court authorized the state to question Sifiso “Gwabini” Zungu about a prior statement in which he allegedly implicated accused Bongani Ntanzi.
- Zungu rejected the statement and told the court it was extracted through police assault and intimidation, an allegation the judge described as serious.
- Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng indicated police officers implicated in the alleged assault may be called to explain what occurred.
- Cross-examination is continuing, with prosecutor Adv. George Baloyi highlighting contradictions, including Zungu’s shifting claim that R2,000 or R3,000 was paid to officers before his release in 2020.
- Five men remain on trial for the 2014 killing of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa at a Vosloorus home, with proceedings drawing intense public attention nearly 12 years on.
