The judge in the Senzo Meyiwa trial, Ratha Mokgoatlheng, on Friday ruled against the admissibility of an audio recording in which one of the accused allegedly made a confession, saying the fact that it was done without the suspect’s knowledge infringed on his rights.
Mngomezulu told the court that Cronje had effectively directed his client Ntanzi to make the confession and that her statements showed an element of inducement. The advocate asked if it was necessary for her to mention that she was a magistrate, saying Cronje should have instead said she had been brought in to assist by taking the confession.
Mngomezulu said the sentence suggested that Cronje had directed Ntanzi to speak because she told him that she was not a police officer.
