SenzoMeyiwa ’s childhood friend MthokozisiThwala told the Pretoria high court he had opened a case against two police officers after he was allegedly tortured in an attempt to force him to confess to murdering the footballer.

He is a witness in the trial of five men accused of Meyiwa's murder, and was among those in the Vosloorus home in October 2014 when the goalkeeper sustained a fatal gunshot wound during an alleged botched robbery.

He said he was fetched on January 12 2019 by Buthelezi and Makhubo from Durban for an identity parade in Pretoria. Thwala said when they arrived at police offices, he was placed in what he identified as Buthelezi’s office.at about 10.10pm. “When I asked her about the ID parade, she said it will happen,” he said.

He told the court Buthelezi later left the office, claiming she was going to prepare for the identity parade. After Buthelezi left, two men entered the office. Thwala told the court he was assaulted for about six hours by the men, who kept saying he killed Meyiwa. Mthobisi Mncube, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli are on trial for Meyiwa's murder. They have pleaded not guilty.Would you like to comment on this article?
