Meyiwa trial: Media to carry live audio of Zandile Khumalo
State witness Zandile Khumalo has begun giving evidence in the trial of five men accused of the murder of Senzo Meyiwa.
Zandile is the sister of singer Kelly Khumalo, who was the footballer's girlfriend at the time of his death.
Meyiwa was shot in 2014 inside the sisters' home in Vosloorus.
Zandile, who is also a singer, was one of a group of people inside the house at the time of the incident.

She had been expected to take the stand on Monday, but instead, she brought an application to bar any live broadcast of her testimony.
She said she feared for her safety because she is a well-known personality.
After three days of arguments, Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela on Thursday morning granted permission for the media to carry only live audio of her testimony.
"Live broadcast of the image of the witness that is witness number one will not be permitted. Members of the electronic media are permitted to live broadcast the testimony of witness number one by means of an audio,” Judge Maumela said.
