Childhood friend Mthokozisi Thwala retakes witness box in Meyiwa trial: Mthokozisi Thwala, a close friend of the late soccer star Senzo Meyiwa, has returned to the witness bo

He was in the hot seat in May when being cross-examined in the first trial, before the case rebooted under a new judge, Ratha Mokgoatlheng, on details about the scuffle that took place in the Vosloorus home where Meyiwa was killed on October 26 2014.

Thwala is one of the people who was in the house when Meyiwa sustained a fatal shot to the chest after two robbers allegedly entered and demanded their valuables. Police data expert witness Sgt Moses Mabasa was excused earlier on Wednesday. He had been asked to extract pictures from the cellphone and memory card of one of the accused, Mthobisi Mncube.

One picture, titled “My killing machine”, featured a silver and gold gun Mabasa described as a 9mm pistol.
