JOHANNESBURG - The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial will resume on Tuesday with more evidence expected on how the first accused was pinned by police.
The investigating officer, Bongani Gininda, is on the witness stand giving testimony on the evidence about Muzi Sibiya.
The State believes Sibiya kept watch as two of his co–accused allegedly went into the house where the footballer was killed.

Five men are being tried for Meyiwa’s 2014 murder in Vosloorus.
The focus is on accused number 1, Sibiya, and how he came to be a suspect for the murder of Meyiwa.
On Monday, Gininda told the court that when the State’s star witness, Constable Sizwe Zungu, came forward with allegations against the accused, he had heard from his father, Absalom, that Sibiya and the second accused, Bongani Ntanzi, were linked to the murder of Meyiwa during an altercation between their families.
“The information that you got from Zungu the senior is that there was a person whom he got this information from, who implicated accused numbers 1 and 2.”
That person is Mbekiseni Ntanzi, and his statement will be probed further as Advocate Mnisi is expected to continue with this point.
