Meyiwa trial

BONGANI Sandiso Ntanzi, one of the five men on trial for the murder of Senzo Meyiwa, asked for forgiveness this week from his former legal counsel for terminating his services.

Ntanzi spoke after the trial was adjourned in the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, due to the fact that he and the first accused Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya had terminated the legal services of advocate TT Thobane and acquired the services of new legal representation.

Thobane has been the instructing attorney for Sibiya, Ntanzi, Mthobisi Mncube and Mthokoziseni Maphisa since the beginning of the trial, together with disbarred advocate Malesela Teffo.

The fifth accused, Sifokuhle Sifiso (Nkani) Ntuli, has been represented by advocate Zandile Mshololo throughout the trial. |
