The trial could not be heard on Monday – as there were delays in getting the third state witness from KwaZulu-Natal to Pretoria.
JOHANNESBURG - The legal representatives for four of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial wants any further delays by the State in securing witnesses to be investigated by the Pretoria High Court.
The witness is the first among the eyewitnesses who were in the house when Senzo Meyiwa was shot in October 2014. "We do abide by the Constitution, however, we would like to give the State a notice in case this situation might happen again. We give the State notice in terms of Section 342A, your lordship," said TT Thobane.
In the event that there are further delays in securing a witness, Thobane wants the court to host an inquiry to determine the cause of the delay and to make a ruling.
