Muzi Sibiya Reasserts Innocence in Senzo Meyiwa Trial During Renewed Cross-Examination

He challenges phone data that allegedly ties him to a Vosloorus meeting.

Overview

  • Accused number one returned to the Pretoria High Court witness stand and denied involvement in the 2014 killing of the Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.
  • Sibiya said he was not in Gauteng in October 2014 and rejected claims he was at the Basotho Hostel with the other accused.
  • He told the court that accused five, Fisokuhle Ntuli, is his cousin but insisted he had no contact with him around the time of the murder.
  • Confronted with expert evidence of 44 calls to Ntuli, Sibiya said the implicated number belongs to his brother and called the linkage improper.
  • He alleged assault and improper treatment during a 2020 arrest and trip to KwaZulu-Natal, a characterization the state disputed as an address verification, as cross-examination by Advocate Zandile Mshololo continued.
