WATCH | Accused told police Kelly was the mastermind - Gininda

Two murder accused in the Senzo Meyiwa trial previously implicated singer Kelly Khumalo as the person who ordered her boyfriend’s killing, the Pretoria high court heard.

Reading his affidavit, lead investigator Bongani Gininda said in their confessions under oath, that accused number one Muzi Sibiya and alleged accomplice Bongani Ntanzi had implicated Khumalo as the person who ordered the hit.

Meyiwa was shot dead in Khumalo's presence at her mother's home in Vosloorus in 2014. Also present at the time of the murder were Kelly's sister Zandile, her boyfriend, Longwe Twala, the singer's mother Ntombi Khumalo and two of Meyiwa's friends visiting from KwaZulu-Natal.

The court has adjourned for the day and proceedings are expected to resume on Thursday.

12: 40 - Adv. Mngomezulu accuses Gininda of being a person of interest in the case

Mngomezulu accuses Gininda of being a person of interest in this matter. Gininda denies this and says he's not.

Judge: A person of interest is a suspect.

Mngomezulu: Yes let me withdraw that with my poor English.

12:05 - Gininda says accused number two will face more cases apart from the murder charge

When asked by Mngomezulu whether the murder trial was the only case that Ntanzi is currently facing, Gininda said yes but revealed that more cases against Ntanzi would be brought to court.

Mngomezulu then probed about the alleged confession of accused 1 and 2. Gininda says he never discussed the merits of the case with Colonel Mbotho when he asked him to take down the confession.

"I doubt you didn't disclose the merits of the case with Mbotho. Was Mbotho the right person to take down the confession of accused number two?" Mngomezulu asked.

"A Colonel is a Commissioned officer and is allowed to take confessions," Gininda said.

Mngomezulu then said Mbotho was not supposed to take the confession, it was supposed to be done by an independent person.

"Mbotho is a Commissioned officer and can take the confession," Gininda responded.

Mngomezulu disagreed.

11:10 - Judge Mokgaothleng grants Adv. Mngomezulu a short adjournment

The proceedings which were supposed to begin at 10:00 were delayed due to accused number two. Bomgani Ntanzi arriving late. Judge Mokgoathleng raised concerns over puntuality.
