Senzo Meyiwa murder accused back in court
The five men accused of the murder of Senzo Meyiwa are expected back in the High Court in Pretoria on Friday.
During their previous appearance the case was adjourned to 22 April after the defence was granted another postponement.
Muzi Sibiya, Bongani Ntanzi, Mthobisi Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Fisokuhle Ntuli are on trial for the 2014 murder of the former Bafana Bafana captain.
Zandile Msholo, who represents accused number five, told the court that she needed more time to consult with the witnesses who live in KwaZulu-Natal and Johannesburg.
The NPA has insisted that it is ready for the trial to proceed.

“Five days is not enough my lord,” she said.
“However, we are going to try our best. We have been given limited time my lord, seeing that the trial has already started we have to push and must work fast so that we can make sure we’re able to come back ready to resume with this trial.”
At the time of his death, Meyiwa was at the home of his songstress girlfriend Kelly Khumalo.
Khumalo's legal representative, Advocate Magdalene Moonsamy, confirmed the singer is not a suspect but a witness in the murder trial.
