Tempers flared at Senzo Meyiwa murder trial

JOHANNESBURG - One of the people already in the house shot and killed football star Senzo Meyiwa.

That's the contention of the lawyer representing accused number four in his murder trial.

Tempers flared yesterday when Zandile Khumalo defended her assertion that intruders killed Meyiwa, while being cross-examined in the High Court in Pretoria.

Khumalo went head to head with Zithulele Nxumalo, who is representing accused number four.

Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng had to jump in and order all parties to respect the decorum of the court.

The defence is accusing Khumalo of contradicting statements she previously gave the police.

Khumalo deposed three statements between 2014 and 2018.

The defence read all the statements yesterday, trying to prove her testimony is inconsistent.
