State witness magistrate Vivian Cronje told the Pretoria high court on Tuesday that she recorded the confession of Bongani Ntanzi, the second accused person in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial.
Cronje said on 24 June 2020, she received a call from the senior magistrate of the Boksburg magistrate’s court to come to the office and take down a confession from Ntanzi. Cronje said the recording of the confession statement by the accused was not made for official purposes and the people in the room were not told that they were being recorded.
State prosecutor George Baloyi said there was a three-hour recording of the confession which he had received on Tuesday morning. “I started with the document where I described the person in front of me, his clothing and his conduct,” the witness said. “I informed the deponent that I am a magistrate and I am not in any way involved in the investigation against him. I told him that I do not work with the police and that he could speak freely and without fear in my presence,” Cronje said.
