Baloyi gets up: We hope these investigators will be called to testify.
Adv Teffo: Are you now aware that there are two cases that have been opened in regards to this murder?
Mosia: Now I know.
Adv Teffo: The theory of the first case is that two men entered the house and when they left, our hero #SenzoMeyiwa was killed. Leading to the five men behind me being arrested. Can you see them?
Mosia: I see them.
