Const Mandla Dumisane Sithole testified on Tuesday that he ended up in the same vehicle as Const Caylene Whiteboy and Sgt Simon Ndyalvane on the evening of the fatal shooting in Eldorado Park on August 26 2020.

Sithole, who was a student constable at the time, testified that he got into the police double cab bakkie driven by Ndyalvane where he, Whiteboy and other constables were passengers. Sithole said he had asked for a ride from the Eldorado Park police station because Ndyalvane was going to buy food.Before Ndyalvane could attend to that complaint, he picked up Whiteboy from where she lived in Eldorado Park.

Some of the people Whiteboy had allegedly shot at were buying from the Somali shop and others were milling about.Sithole said there were no attempts to arrest these people before they were shot at. He said there was no threat to the police before shots were fired.The police returned to the Somalian shop and the boys were still there.
