Defence advocate Thulani Mngomezulu told the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday that Ntanzi was suffocated with a piece of plastic and electrocuted by police at the time of his arrest in June 2020.

But Mogane, one of the police officers who arrested Ntanzi, says that didn't happen.

 

"I dispute that because the rate at which he claims to have been assaulted, he would have been taken to hospital or he would have said something about it but I for one dispute that."
