The police officer testified that on 5 June 2020, he collected accused one, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, from the Alberton police station and drove with him to the crime scene of Meyiwa’s shooting in Vosloorus.During cross-examination on Tuesday, Advocate Charles Mnisi sought to poke holes in Hadebe’s evidence, suggesting that his little experience in conducting the pointing-out exercise at the time “tainted” the process.

Nxumalo highlighted that the murder charge appeared on the document Hadebe signed to get Sibiya out of the holding cells at the Alberton police station.“Are you saying you just signed without reading fully and understanding what is contained in the entry?” Nxumalo asked.
