Boksburg Magistrate, Vivian Cronje, took to the stand.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s understood to have taken down accused Ntanzi\u2019s confession statement in June 2020 following his arrest.<\/p>\n

Reading out Ntanzi\u2019s testimony, she described how the accused had recalled overhearing a phone call between Mncube and someone he called \u201cSistas\u201d moments before the murder was carried out.<\/p>\n

He told the magistrate that he suspects the woman was Kelly Khumalo.<\/p>\n
