Murder-accused Bongani Ntanzi initially told the police he was at the mine near Carltonville on the West Rand on 26 October 2014, in the run-up to the fatal shooting.
The High Court in Pretoria has heard that accused number two in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Bongani Ntanzi, was not on duty on the day the former soccer star was killed.
An HR manager where Ntanzi was employed told the high court in Pretoria on Tuesday that Ntanzi did not report for duty that night. In his bail application last year, Ntanzi told the court in an affidavit that he was at work at the Rustenburg mine on the night of the murder.
