VZ: You didn't think you would be without the car?

Tongo: That did come to me at some time

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 4m4 minutes ago

VZ: Did it come to you when you discussed this with the accused or hitmen?

ongo: It only came to mind after the incident.

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 4m4 minutes ago

VZ: In your mind, the risk you were taking with your car, was out of all proportion with a payment of R5000?

Tongo: That is correct, My Lady.

VZ: Why didn't you ask the accused for more money?

Tongo: I didn't think of that

VZ: You didn't even negotiate with him

Tongo: That is correct

van Zyl: how could Monde know the previous day what you only heard the next day about it having to look like a hijacking? those factors, Monde could not have known the previous day.

Dewani seems almost animated at times, mouthing words to himself, scowling.

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 3m3 minutes ago

VZ: This is your affidavit, made shortly after the incident. Monde couldn't have known the previous day.

Tongo: Maybe there is a mistake that happened.

Traverso: When? In your affidavit/during your evidence?

Tongo: During this statement, because what Monde knew on Friday, somebody had to be killed. On Saturday while giving Monde a lift, I gave the full story. We spoke about that on Saturday.

[PrimeSuspect]

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 3m3 minutes ago

Tongo again being questioned about differences between his statement to police on Nov 26, 2010 & evidence in court.


Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 49s49 seconds ago

Tongo: What is written here, that is what the young men wanted to happen (leaving the money in the car)

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Leila Samodien ‏@Leila_Luck 50s50 seconds ago

Tongo: some things are only resurfacing now because when I made statement (Nov, 2010) it was a very "sensitive" period for me.

News24 ‏@News24 29s29 seconds ago

at time my statement was taken I was in a very critical place. Some things are only coming back now... says ZT

Traverso: So, Mr. Dewani didn't tell you that the money would be in the cubbyhole?

Tongo: I can't remember

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 49s49 seconds ago

VZ: Mr. Tongo but you had no trouble telling us that Mr. Dewani said so. Was that evidence just wrong?

Tongo: That's what I am saying, I may have made a mistake. You made a mistake & I forgave you (ohoh)

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Leigh-Anne Jansen ‏@LA_JANSEN 2m2 minutes ago

Tongo: What is in the statement is true, My Lady


EWN Reporter ‏@ewnreporter 2m2 minutes ago

Another possible insistence emerges in Tongo's evidence. He now says it was 'the others' who said money must be left in car.
