Witness identifies suspect who tussled with Meyiwa on day of shooting
Updated | By Sibahle Motha
Senzo Meyiwa murder trial witness Tumelo Madlala has identified accused number two as the man who tussled with the footballer on the day he died.
Madlala was one of the people in the Vosloorus house where Meyiwa was shot in 2014.
Madlala, who was Meyiwa's best friend, earlier told the High Court in Pretoria that two men walked into the house and demanded cell phones and money.
He said Meyiwa pinned one of them against the wall as he wrestled with him.

On Thursday, he pointed at Bongani Ntanzi, one of the five accused, as that man.
"I won't tell lies about a person in a matter like this, even that person knows. Here's this man with a blue t-shirt or green. He was the one that was held by Senzo. He is the one who had a beard that was cut."
