‘I can’t take it anymore’, emotional Mosia tells Meyiwa trial

‘I can’t take it anymore’, emotional Mosia tells Meyiwa trial

A witness in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has told the High Court in Pretoria that he has reached the end of his tether.

Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng

Warrant Officer Thabo Mosia told the court during cross-examination on Monday that he had done his best as a witness.


“I’ve been in this witness box for so long in this court. And right now, I can see that I cannot take it. I don’t understand what it is that you want from me?”


The burst of emotion from Mosia came after the defence counsel for accused number four, Advocate Zithulele Nxumalo, requested him to provide the court with the crime register from the day of Meyiwa’s death. 


This would enable the court to prove the chain of events that Mosia recorded on the day. 


During his evidence last week, Mosia told the court that he attended to two other crime scenes once he was done taking pictures at the Vosloorus home where the former Bafana Bafana captain was shot and killed.


Advocate Zandile Mshololo, who represents accused five Sfisokuhle Ntuli, also asked Mosia to furnish the court with the case numbers of the other matters that he attended to after leaving the murder scene.


Mosia responded to Mshololo by saying that the Meyiwa trial has made him even sicker.


"I also have supporting evidence from the doctors supporting my ailment,” he said. 


But Mshololo told him that she did not believe he attended to any other cases on that day. 


“I put it to you Mr Mosia that there weren't any other cases that you attended to on that day.”


Mosia told the court that he would search for the register and revert back to court.
