Tongo: I am not a thief, if the phone was lying there. Monde gave the number. He is lying

I'm thinking that SD ripped off Tongo re the money paid, and that in turn Tongo ripped of Qwabe and Mngeni. Maybe he doesn't want to admit it and that accounts for some of his evasiveness. It might not go down too well in the prison.

Tongo says he got Spra's (Qwabe) number from Monde, but in Monde's statement he says he never gave Tongo Qwabe's number #DewaniTrial

Ahem, I wouldn't believe Monde either, he has gotten off scot free, no jail sentence!

Tongo appears to get very upset when it's suggested he's a liar or a thief.

VZ: Why did you think that Monde Mbolombo could put you in contact with a hitman. Someone who could kill people?

Tongo: Because I knew Monde knows what happens in the community.

VZ: Are there hitmen in the community?

Tongo: I don't know :facepalm:

VZ: There's this huge coincidence. You are not someone involved in criminality?

VZ: But when the accused asks you to find a hitman, you are prepared to do it. You go to Mbolombo, who also is not involved in criminality. I put it to you that that is highly improbable. There's something else.

Tongo: That's your explanation

I think defence is trying to dismantle Tongo's presentation of himself as a hardworking innocent not involved in any criminal activity previous to Anni's killing.

VZ: I'm putting it to you, there is another reason. Do you want to comment?

Tongo: I'll wait for you.

So S.D. arrives at the airport and the first person he meets is the driver who takes them to the hotel. You would expect that he would have got to know Tongo a little better before asking him to arrange a murder.
Before S.D. Set off for S.A. He must have had intentions to have Anni murdered, but to approach the first person you meet is weird. It is not as though S.D. Had gone to an area where the down and outs are and desperate for money. Wasn't he worried that Tongo would report him for making such a request?

Dewani was familiar with SA. I wonder if he knew that unlicensed taxi drivers around the airport tend to be desperate for money and likely to be invvolved in criminality? Not saying it's so, as I don't know. Just a guess.

Traverso: The person who was going to pay the money was Mr. Dewani?

Tongo: Yes.

Tongo, after the incident, Monde, was enquiring about money....I told him you can't ask me, I'm also waiting for mine #DewaniTrial @ANN7tv

Traverso: Why didn't you just ask Mr. Dewani (for the money)?

Tongo: Mr. Dewani was going to leave the money in the pouch. That was the agreement. They were not going to get money from me.
