Meyiwa trial: Thwala says assault case against police ‘moving slow’
The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has heard the case that witness Mthokozisi Thwala opened against two police officers he claims assaulted him has gone nowhere.
Thwala was one of the people who were in the East Rand house where Meyiwa was shot and killed in 2014.
Five men are accused of killing the footballer in an alleged robbery at the house.
On Wednesday, Thwala told the court Lieutenant Colonel Joyce Buthelezi and Warrant Officer Meshack Makhubo fetched him from KwaZulu-Natal in January 2019 and drove him all the way to Pretoria, where he claims he was tortured and assaulted.

He says this was an attempt to get him to tell them who Meyiwa's killer is.
"They told me that they would proceed with the matter, but up until now nothing has happened.
"Last year, myself and my legal representative contacted them, and they informed us that they changed the investigating officer."
