This was as everyone sat in the sitting area, where a TV stand sits between two black couches facing each other. According to Zandi, on the left-hand couch, sitting next to the TV stand was Tumelo, followed by Mthokozisi, Senzo and next to him was Kelly on the ottoman.

The first intruder who was “short with dreadlocks” was the first to come in, and the second “tall intruder” stood in the middle of the passage.She told the court that the first intruder pointed a gun at them and said “hhiphani imali nama phone ”. “Longwe ran out, leaving through the kitchen door. I took my phone and hid it behind a cushion where I was sitting. We all stood up and passed the who was fighting the door with Kelly and pushed both intruders to the kitchen,” she said.“We were busy fighting them. I saw Tumelo’s crutch on the floor next to the heater, and I tried to hit the second tall intruder but I couldn't reach. Tumelo took the crutch from me and hit the man with it,” she said.

After some quietness, Zandi said she peeked through the bathroom door and saw Senzo in a crouched position with his arms wrapped around his stomach, walking towards the sitting area.He was followed by Kelly and her mother from behind.Kelly stood behind Senzo and my mother stood next to them but just next to the couch where she was seated,” Zandi said.

She said after seeing both Maphiri and Nthabiseng panicking, she went back to the house as she realised she wasn't getting any help.
