Meyiwa was shot dead in his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo's presence at the home belonging to her mother Ntombi with Her sister Zandile and her boyfriend Longwe Twala and two of Meyiwa's friends who were visiting from KwaZulu-Natal also at the home. 

The house occupants told police Meyiwa was killed by one of two intruders who barged into the home and demanded cellphones and money.

The state's first witness in the rebooted trial, Zandile Khumalo, testified she had tried to call 10111 but froze and ran to look for help from a neighbour instead however, Steyn suggested otherwise.

“I did check and I couldn't find any number of the police, even 10111, on any of the phones,” he said during the cross-examination by the defence lawyer for two of the accused, Sipho Ramosepele.

Meanwhile, last week Steyn revealed Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli had called Kelly on two occasions and alluded the accused knew each other as they had been in a telephonic contact.

On Monday the 31st of July Ntanzi admitted through his lawyer that a number linked to him by Steyn's analysis belonged to him but said he did not have it in 2014, the number was Rica'd in 2019 at a store in Rustenburg.

Steyn the added it was important the accused admitted it was his number and suggested the phone might have been Rica'd under a family member's name.

The trial continues.
