Defense counsel Advocate Charles Mnisi has conceded in court that the man whose picture was displayed on the screen in court, is in fact that of his client, Mthobisi Mncube.

This is after Advocate Mnisi told the court on Friday that the pictures displayed in court were too blurry or too much of poor quality to tell who was in the pictures.

Mncube, who is among the five accused in the Senzo Meyiwa trial, was arrested in 2015 for possession of an unlawful firearm and his cellphone was confiscated. An investigation of the cellphone data that was downloaded from the phone which was in his possession when he was arrested, revealed that the day before Meyiwa was shot, as well as on the day of the crime, Mncube had dreadlocks and wore beige clothes, fitting the description of one of the two intruders who entered the house and demanded cellphones and money.

Kelly Khumalo’s sister, Zandile, has previously told the court that she, her mother, and Longwe were seated on the one couch in the sitting room, while Tumelo Madlala, Mthokozisi Thwala and Senzo Meyiwa sat on the other couch before two men, one short with dreadlocks, wearing brownish clothes, was in front and another one who was taller, wearing a hoodie, following behind, entered the house through the kitchen door.

You were also asked if the person in this picture was one of the people here in court and you see it’s accused 3. Correct?
