The court is hearing testimony from the lead investigator, Bongani Gininda, in a trial within a trial to determine the admissibility of confession statements made by two of the accused.
According to a witness who has since died in 2022, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi one of the men implicated in the murder of Bafana Bafana soccer player Senzo Meyiwa is a well-known gun supplier and hitman.
Murder accused Bongani Ntanzi was allegedly a gun dealer supplying weapons to hitmen in KwaZulu-Natal and Marikana in the lead up to the killing of Senzo Meyiwa, the Pretoria high court heard yesterday.
Bongani Ntanzi’s lawyer says they will argue he was illegally detained when he was not released after the decision was made not to enrol the KwaNongoma murder case he was initially arrested for.
