Defence to Call New Witness After Leshabane Testimony Draws Intense Scrutiny
A new defence witness is expected to take the stand in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial as proceedings continue in the Pretoria High Court, following intense testimony from General Leshabane that has kept the courtroom under close public attention.
The defence is currently advancing its case after the State closed its lengthy presentation, with the accused now calling witnesses to challenge the prosecution’s version of events surrounding the 2014 killing of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa.
General Leshabane’s recent testimony has drawn significant scrutiny in court, forming part of the broader defence strategy to dispute key aspects of the investigation and the evidence led by the State.
With one witness stepping down, the defence is now preparing to present its next witness, as legal teams continue to test conflicting accounts of what happened on the night Meyiwa was shot at the home of his girlfriend in Vosloorus.
The high-profile trial, now in its defence phase after years of State-led evidence, continues to unfold amid sustained public interest and legal debate over the credibility of witness statements and police conduct.
