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.
