State questions Mncube over cellphone use the day Meyiwa was killed
Mncube maintains that he was using a Samsung cellphone on the day of the murder
The prosecution in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial is interrogating accused number three, Mthobisi Mncube, pertaining to the cellphone utilized on the day of the former Bafana Bafana captain's fatal shooting in October 2014. Mncube claims to have been using a Samsung device on that fateful day, though he admits he struggles to pinpoint the exact moment of switching devices.
Prosecutor Ronnie Sibanda pointed out that Mncube's phone number was tied to multiple devices, implying that he might have switched phones near the time of the murder. Delving into the cellphone records, Sibanda queried Mncube about a transition from a Nokia X102 to a Samsung GTE 2220. Mncube acknowledged the records showing different devices but confessed he couldn't recall the precise day he changed phones, stating, "I don’t know exactly the day I changed the cellphone, but since the numbers are not the same, it means that I’ve changed."
