The trial of the five men accused of killing Senzo Meyiwa had to take a short adjournment after the judge realised that the state’s first witness, Sgt Thabo Mosia, needs an interpreter.

Maumela noticed that there was a language barrier when Mosia was asked who was supposed to be the custodian of the disc containing original photographs of the crime scene.Mshololo spent the first hour questioning Mosia as to why he took instructions from Brig Philani Ndlovu who was on the scene and had no expertise in forensic investigations.

Mosia maintained that when he was made aware that the case involved a popular person, he had to wait for the crime scene management task team to do the rest.Meyiwa was killed at his then girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s home in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, in an alleged robbery that shocked the nation. Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli have been charged with his murder. The five face charges of premeditated murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, possession of firearms without a licence and possession of ammunition.

Police maintained a heavy presence inside the courtroom. As Mosia gave evidence, the five men sat looking down for most of the testimony.A Sotho interpreter was secured and the trial continues.
