The defence lawyer in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Thulani Mngomezulu, told the Pretoria high court on Monday that accused number two, Bongani Ntanzi, was lured into giving his address when he was called and offered a job by a police officer a week before his arrest.
Mngomezulu, who is representing Ntanzi and accused one, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, said this while cross-examining state witness Sergeant Vusimuzi Mogane.
Mngomezulu said Ntanzi was called from a landline in Pretoria a week before his arrest. The person who called him introduced herself as Sergeant Batho Mogola and offered him employment.
Mogane disputed this assertion and said Mogola would have informed him if she had phoned the accused.
