The high-profile Senzo Meyiwa murder trial is set to resume with fresh momentum as a new witness from the Legal Practice Council prepares to take the stand. This development could mark a turning point in the already intense courtroom drama surrounding the 2014 killing of the beloved Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.
The latest move follows a strategic request from Advocate Charles Mnisi, representing Accused Number One, who called for a pause in the cross-examination of lead investigator Brigadier Bongani Gininda. Mnisi is seeking access to vehicle tracker reports, documents he believes are critical to challenging the prosecution’s narrative and uncovering gaps in the police investigation.
So far, the trial has unfolded with the prosecution laying out its evidence while the defense continues to scrutinize and question the credibility of that evidence. With the Legal Practice Council now stepping in, the courtroom could see new revelations that may reshape the direction of the case.
As the nation watches closely, all eyes are on the unfolding legal chess match that could finally bring clarity—and justice—to one of South Africa’s most haunting unsolved crimes.
