VZ: Definitely not his wife?

Tongo: Correct

VZ: So when you called Tavuks, when your knees were trembling. What did you tell him?

Tongo: I asked him to do a transfer from the Cape Grace hotel, if he remembers the pick-up I did at the airport.

Tongo: He said he wouldn't be able to.

VZ: Did you tell him it would be two people?

Tongo: Yes

#DewaniTrial Tongo is now being questioned about other differences between his evidence in court and his police statement + plea agreement.

Traverso: The question is why, yesterday, did you say you told Tavuks to pick up the gentleman and his wife?

Tongo: I don't remember myself saying that.

VZ: You maintain you thought that was a different lady to the one you picked up at the airport?

Tongo: Correct

 

[zwiebel]

So he's still insisting he thought Anni was two different women.

VZ: Then you have to explain your statement to police.

 

[jslk]

Could that be an honest mistake? :dunno:

Or something translated differently? Client and business partner might be pretty similar in Xhosa?

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 2m2 minutes ago

In the statement, Tongo speaks of Dewani and the same lady.

VZ: Who is this "same lady"?

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 2m2 minutes ago

Tongo: I can see this is written and I signed it but I never said the same lady.

Traverso: Did the police make this mistake?

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 2m2 minutes ago

VZ: The person who took this statement is Lt. Col. Barkhuizen, a very experienced Investigating Officer.

(lol of course, cough, cough)

VZ: He would've known how important this is.

Tongo: Must be a mistake.

VZ: Another mistake, ok

I just googled Anni Hindocha images. She had a very distinctive face and I could easily see it was the same person in all the images, except....there is one of her on a beach in a blue t-shirt, not smiling and with no eye makeup. That looks very different from all the other photos of her.

VZ: Why are you running away from the fact that it was Mr. Dewani's wife in your car & the person who was to be killed?

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 3m3 minutes ago

Tongo: I didn't know it was his wife.

#DewaniTrial VZ: didn't you ask him if this person (the business partner) would be arriving by plane, you could pick her up? RE
