The Defence counsel in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial in the High Court in Pretoria has called a new witness on behalf of accused number three, Mthobisi Mncube.
The witness, SAPS Brigadier Cyril Nkuna, is also the Station Commander of the Tembisa Police Station in Johannesburg.
Five men are on trial for the murder of the late Bafana Bafana captain, who was shot and killed in October 2014.
Nkuna is testifying to clarify SAPS protocols on how state vehicles are signed out, tracked and restricted to specific station divisions.
MNISI: “Now, your duties as a station commander. What would that entail?”
NKUNA: “My duties as the station commander, firstly, is to ensure that the station is running like well oiled machines. So that means all the components, ranging from Vispol detectives to support services. And also including the courts, that everything runs normally and then pertaining to crime in the area of Tembisa is dealt with so that the people in Tembisa feel safe.”
