Qwabe said he was arrested on the Thursday after the shooting, just as a South Africa/USA football match ended on TV

Aislinn Laing @Simmoa · 1m

Qwabe denied everything but was told that Mngeni was already in custody and "had told them everything". He asked to speak to Mngeni

Qwabe said the police allowed him to see Mngeni who confirmed he had confessed his role. He then helped police recover the gun cartridge

#DewaniTrial @eNCAnews I showed the police the drain I threw the gloves in. Police recovered it in my presence.

I eventually pleaded guilty

 

[PrimeSuspect]

So the police knew right from the start Dewani set it up?

#DewaniTrial @eNCAnews While in control of the vehicle, it's possible that I received a call. I couldn't make calls.

proceedings resume

Clarity: Watti is Xolile Mngeni's nickname. Monde Mbolombo=the middleman who put Tongo & Qwabe in touch w/each other

I do not recall seeing any other items in Watti's possession

I do not recall seeing any other items in Watti's possession

I was focused on driving. Don't know what Watti was doing

Watti was facing them. Nothing specific happened. Watti was looking at them. Not sure when he took the phones

I turned my right shoulder, facing them. The weapon was in Watti's left hand

The husband and wife were close to each other. Not sure of their reaction

The only time I slowed down was when we passed a police vehicle on the N2

Qwabe says the car was moving when Anni was shot. only afterwards did he stop.

Qwabe says he was focused on the road. Prosecutor asks if Mngeni was speaking to Anni before the shooting

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 3m3 minutes ago
It's possible that there was interaction btw Watti & deceased

The car was in motion, not stationary. After I heard the shot, I took the 1st turnoff.

I took a glance at the wife (after the shot) while looking for cartridge

She was lying down. I don't recall which position

I think she was sitting behind me when the shot was fired.

I don't recall speaking while the husband was in the vehicle

I worked with Mbolombo years before November 2010.

We socialised at Monwabisi beach some years later. That was a few months before the incident.

He(Monde) also called me a few weeks before, looking for a bullet, to use for medicinal or traditional purposes



I said I'd organise and bring it to him. I did that.

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 2m2 minutes ago

I didn't know/check whether she was alive or dead.

I took a glance at her& searched for the cartridge. I don't know what Watti did/if he checked that she passed away

It took me a few seconds to find the cartridge. I'm not sure which door I opened. It was one at the back

I saw Zola after my arrest. I think we were on our way to court or ID parade

We exchanged phone numbers at Monwabisi. I saved the number as Monde

Relationship with Watti: We were acquaintances. We knew each other very long.

We weren't friends, but we met to exchange DVDs. We never socialised. His brother was my friend.

EWN Reporter ‏@ewnreporter 2m2 minutes ago
Qwabe asked about his relationship with Mngeni aka "watti". Qwabe says they were acquaintances

Sometimes he's dome to borrow the firearm and I'd give it to him. It was a 9mm Parabellum

Court adjourns until 14h15 SA time
