Myiwa Murder Trial | Defence witness in Meyiwa case denies knowing accused number 2

Defence witness in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Qiniselani Buthelezi, who is an inmate from KwaZulu-Natal, has denied knowing accused number two, Bongani Ntanzi. Buthelezi told the court that Friday was the first time he had seen Ntanzi.

This follows an affidavit by the late key witness, Simphiwe Buthelezi, which allegedly linked Ntanzi to a firearms and ammunition supply network used by hitmen across the country.

Ntanzi and his co-accused are on trial for the 2014 murder of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa, who was shot and killed at the Vosloorus home of singer Kelly Khumalo’s mother in Ekurhuleni.

Defence witness Qiniselani Buthelezi, was shown photographs of some of the five accused on the first day of his testimony.
