Last week Thwala told the court two intruders had entered the house, one armed with a gun, and the other with a sharp knife-like object.
Thwala also said Longwe Twala was the first to react and push through the intruders, however, Ramosepele says this version is not true. “Now I’m going to put it to you that this story of Longwe Twala pushing the intruder out and running out of the house is not correct. It’s not the truth. A: I don’t if you say it’s not the truth then what is it? Response: I’m going to demonstrate it bit by bit and arrive at the conclusion that there were no intruders in the house, Longwe Twala was there as the shot is fired, but we take it step by step.”Live proceedings in the stream below:
