Vodacom analyst continues testimony at Meyiwa trial

PRETORIA - The defence in the Senzo Meyiwa trial will continue cross-examining Vodacom official Pinky Vythilingam.

This after Zandile Mshololo, the lawyer for Accused 5, asked to be excused from Thursday’s proceedings.

Mshololo was due to begin her cross-examination of Vodacom official Pinky Vythilingam on evidence related to the accused's cellphone.

So far, Vythilingam has corroborated the state's claims that two of the accused called each other in the hours leading to the soccer star's murder, one of them the alleged coordinator, and the other the alleged shooter.

The defence however is accusing police and prosecutors of trumping up a case against singer Kelly Khumalo and Accused 5, Fisokuhle Ntuli.
