Meyiwa murder trial expected to resume on Tuesday morning
The case was postponed after fifth accused, Fisokuhle Ntuli, was booked for an operation.
The trial of five men accused in the murder of former South Africa national football team captain Senzo Meyiwa is set to reconvene at the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday morning. The case was initially postponed due to the fifth accused, Fisokuhle Ntuli, needing to undergo surgery. During the previous court sessions, the remaining accused were not present in court as the proceedings were anticipated to commence later than expected.
The five defendants are charged with the shooting death of Meyiwa in October 2014. The trial's prosecutor, George Baloyi, informed the court that Ntuli had been booked for medical intervention. Baloyi explained that a surgical procedure was required, which would necessitate Ntuli's absence from court on August 6 and 7, 2026. Consequently, the court decided not to proceed with the trial on those dates. It is expected that the trial will resume on the specified date.
