EVIDENCE presented in court on Wednesday, 17 April, has linked all five accused in the murder case of former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa in the North Gauteng High Court.
Data Analyst Lieutenant-Colonel Gideon Gouws told the court that when he downloaded the data from the cellphone of accused two, Bongani Ntanzi, it was established that all five men were linked to one number saved on the device.
“There were no contacts on the MTN SIM card. The Vodacom SIM card contacts were put on a Microsoft Excel sheet. There were two numbers linked to the other accused. There was a number linked to Muzi Sibiya, accused number one. The number of Fisokuhle Ntuli, accused number five, was saved on the SIM card,” he said.
He said the other number was saved as Lungisani.
“That number had lots of communication with other accused. It shows there was communication between all the accused before the court. These are all the numbers which show there was communication vice versa.”
