Qwabe said Monde didn't explain the nature of the job but then (taxi driver) Zola Tongo rang and told him "someone wanted someone killed".

#DewaniTrial adjourns while sound is sorted, Judge Traverso saying she cannot hear. Really hoping the speakers are not switched off - ^AW

Qwabe tells the court that Tongo said the job entailed murder. He says at the time of the call he was with Wattie (Mngeni).

Marianne Thamm reports her view re what the trial will focus on - "the trial is certain to focus acute attention on the secret world of sadomasochistic sex as well as highlighting the socialisation of men and women in relation to traditional notions of romance, marriage and respectability".

New microphones being brought into court. Wires everywhere. Van Zyl just came over to me,smiled and shrugged his shoulders. #dewanitrial (https://twitter.com/shekharbhatia/status/519769111908188160)

Oscar Pistorius trial was full of recesses and unexplained noises or too much noise in overflow court, this one's full of sound problems.

Testing, testing, one, two, three. Not quite what we expected to be hearing in court today #DewaniTrial

We're adjourned for a while as techies try to sort out dodgy microphones. Dewani went back down to the cells clutching a document folder

Sounds as though Judge Traverso is pro active in taking charge of her court. Just what we expect of a judge. Take note JM.

I wish we could have seen the moment the judge leapt up.
