Senzo Meyiwa murder trial postponed to next week

Senzo Meyiwa murder trial postponed to next week Thursday for the court to call a new witness.

The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has been delayed until next Thursday as the court seeks to call a new witness to clarify photographic evidence. The dispute arose between the prosecution and defense regarding the proper placement of the picture and information in the court record. A cellphone analyst, who presented the photographs from the accused's cellphone, is set to provide further insight into the evidence.

Defense Attorney Charles Mnisi contends that the prosecution cannot question the accused about details from the digital image, such as the time and location of the photograph's capture. Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng decided to bring in the new witness to resolve the issue. "The witness is available on Thursday, which is the 15th of October," Sibanda confirmed.

"Miss Mshololo says Thursday I don't know, what is she talking about?" Mokgoatlheng questioned. "Advocate Baloyi indicated that the witnesses are available next week Thursday, he can come to court on Thursday, the 15th of October, 2026."
