A third day has been lost in the main trial as the lawyers have been arguing an application by the next witness to bar the live broadcast of proceedings.
JOHANNESBURG - The defence in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has thrown jabs at the State over procedure amid delays over the broadcasting of the trial.
Five men are standing trial for the murder of the Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain in October 2014. "The State ought to have brought a substantive application whether on urgent basis or in the normal way in the motion court and for this trial to proceed, my lord, with other witnesses, this is not the only witness, my lord."
But State advocate, George Baloyi, insisted that if Mshololo’s ways were to be taken, the matter would never end.
