LOL, VZ bringing this up isn't a good idea, but keeping doing it Mr VZ.

#DewaniTrial Paragraph 124: CCTV of the "private" conversation between Tongo and Dewani at the Cape Grace hotel

#DewaniTrial VZ: One would've expected that conversation to be relayed to Col. Barkhuizen, when giving his affidavit.

#DewaniTrial VZ: Why would he ask Tongo if he was ok? According to Tongo, this was an agreed hijacking. Why are you ok, are you fine?

#DewaniTrial VZ: Dewani must've thought Tongo was injured

VZ: If Tongo is to be believed that he was offered R5000, he is now alone with the accused. One would've expected him to ask

There must have been a short pause I guess.

#DewaniTrial VZ: Tongo testified he found only R1k in envelope, not R5k as he expected, scared to tell police. "Nonsensical answer" says VZ

#DewaniTrial VZ: clearly we are dealing with a witness who can twist (the story) to suit him. RE

#DewaniTrial VZ: He never discussed it with the accused, at all, he says.

#DewaniTrial VZ: This atmosphere that was created that he walked out of sight of the camera. Those are glass doors. The police could see him

#DewaniTrial Traverso: There is also evidence that he was alerted to the cameras, and then looks up. VZ: That is the evidence, but where does he return to? Back inside, in view of the cameras

#DewaniTrial Paragraph 128: The Tuesday, following the crime...

#DewaniTrial Paragraph 129: Receiving the R1000 payment from Dewani. VZ: One can almost say, really?? It's nonsensical


Sorry for the delay in posting. Something important required my attention. I'm back now.

Apparently the judge was annoyed about that banging door, as well as Dewani. Everyone seems to think the judge is very 'stern'.

#DewaniTrial VZ: now we get to Mbolombo's role. Tongo said "Monde connected me to those young men". RE

It would have been so interesting to hear the interaction between Dewani and Tongo, even just to gauge the power play. We can't underestimate the power that Dewani had over him imo.

Defence now on page 94 of 127 but I'm not taking any comfort in that because they might well do a Roux and start going back to things once they reach the end...
