Tongo: According to me, he called me Zola. It's up to him to save my name as Zola.

VZ: That puts a lie to your statement that you will never introduced yourself as Robert

Tongo: If that makes you feel better, to say I'm a liar

VZ: Is that your final answer? Tongo: If that makes you feel good

Tongo: Yes, I understand that.

VZ: You were sentenced to 18 years. How long before you are eligible for parole?

VZ: If you should testify for the state & you should deviate from statements made, will that impact your parole?

Tongo: No

VZ: I see. So, if you should not give evidence in line with statements you've made. You are seriously telling the court that that will have no impact on your parole?.

Tongo: Everything depends on my behavior there in prison.

VZ: In June 2011, there was a rumour that you perhaps changed your evidence. I call it a rumour. I don't say it's a fact.

Tongo: I don't say anything about rumours because I don't know anything about it.

VZ: In 2011, did Mr. Hendrickse and your attorney visit you?

Tongo: Mr. Hendrickse and my attorney visited me but I don't remember when.

Tongo: I repeat myself, I don't have anything to do or rumours don't have anything to do with me. Or ppl who do so.

Traverso: Mr. Tongo, will you please answer the question. Yes or no or I can't remember


Tongo: I'm hearing that for the first time.
