South Africa - Anni Dewani, 28, shot to death, Gugulethu, 13 Nov 2010 #2

The funny thing Z, the convo about SD saying he was from the UK and Anni from Sweden, and Tongo said, 'I thought you were both Indian'. That was in the paper, so maybe Tongo is just forgetting things.

Edit: unless that was from Dewani's statement. I'm confused.

I really think he is just forgetting. With the small details anyhow, because people do.

I suspect he at least thought they had money to spend, even if it didn't cross his mind they were rich. Otherwise, why try to sell them the 'grand tour'?

I don't know if Judge Traveso will accept Tongo not realizing Anni was the same woman at the airport and the night out. :notgood:

not unless some CCTV footage miraculously appears.....showing that she was looking different
I can see that happening though
I have witnessed amazing transformations with young ladies looking totally different for a night on the town compared to how they look 'normally'

Tonga answers in detail to most of the questions put to him. He seems only to be vague when it is questions refering to Anni. This makes me think he does not feel comfortable that Anni was Shriens wife. In his mind he wants to think the murder was to a colleague. Which ever way he still was the one to organise the murder, but it is like he as just blanked the fact that he knew Anni was indeed S.D. wife.
I just can't get it clearly into words..so hope you understand me.

you raise good points about his 'comfort level'

Given that he's in customer service industry and is comfortable dealing with international clients, I believe he's very respectful and mindful of not paying too much undue attention to a man's wife (MOO) -- he has manners.

Just seen that a childkiller in SA (Diepsloot) just sentenced to 240 years in prison. Guessing even with generous parole there, he's not coming out within his lifetime.

VZ: When you arrived at the Cape Grace hotel that Friday afternoon, you'd been in the company of the accused and his wife for about 40 mins at most, that correct?

Tongo: Correct

VZ: You, yourself have no criminal record and not involved in criminality at all, apart from traffic offences.

Tongo: I don't have any serious case against me but I was arrested at some stage.
