Police witness gets interpreter in Meyiwa trial

Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela noticed during advocate Zandile Mshololo's cross-examination of Mosia that he was not properly understanding questions put to him.

“I know you have been testifying in English. As you know, all of us can speak English to a certain point, we all have limits. If it comes to where you need interpretation, it won't be a wrong thing to ask for interpretation. It is upon you to say, 'now I need an interpreter' so that you testify freely,” said Maumela.He has been in the witness box for nine days taking questions in English and responding in the same language.

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

Mosia said when he was made aware that the case involved a celebrity he had to wait for the crime scene management task team to do the rest.Meyiwa was killed in 2014 at his then girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s home in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, in an alleged robbery. 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.

you can't blame Mosia , it's the governments SAPS model that's archaic, forensic should be for new specialists , this thing of people working thier way up to forensics makes no sense caz they carry thier bad police habits into it

The whole sergeant 😦

The word 'custodian' cost havoc in court after one of the police detective failed to understand it's meaning, promoting the court to adjourned...Headline corrected

When the going gets tough one needs an interpret.

Police should be able to speak English. They work with the public.

Some months back I had no way of taking care of my kids , had no job or money also struggling through the pandemic,so I decided to try Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I was able to earn R130,000 now am financially stable.

Someone plz balancis me here. The 5 accused are the ones who allegedly were NOT at the party that day? Why haven't they been acquitted?

How can someone be shot in the kitchen but blood be found in the living room?

This is a very good move by Judge. By the way, speaking English eloquently isn't the sign of high IQ but and indication that one has a venecular lungauage of his or her.

SAPS must review their recruitment process and qualification requirements to join the force. Legal representatives, Magistrates and Judges are highly qualified and the same should be with cops. SAPoliceService SAPS SenzoMeyiwatrial SenzoMeyiwa AdvocateTeffo KellyKhumalo
