  "summary": "The trial of Senzo Meyiwa's murder has seen a cellphone and data expert, Tsholanang Golele from Vodacom, continue his testimony at the North Gauteng High Court on Friday. The expert was called upon to assist the court in determining whether additional evidence from the cellphone records of Mabhungu Ntuli should be admitted. The state is seeking to use these records to cross-examine Mthobisi Mncube, who stated he was with Ntuli on the night of the murder. Golele informed the court that once records are requested by officials, the extracted information is permanently archived electronically, with a retention period of 3 years, ensuring its integrity and reliability for the proceedings.",
