The resumption of the highly anticipated Senzo Meyiwa trial began with drama as the lawyer for the first four accused, Adv Malesela Teffo, requested for the production company that aired the Netflix documentary series on the soccer star to be barred from filming the trial proceedings.

Teffo said the airing of the documentary four days before the official start of the trial has “exposed his witnesses to harassment”.

Lawyer representing Ten Ten Films, Adv Ben Winks, was present in court and told the judge that he was not aware of the concerns raised by Teffo before the start of Monday’s proceedings. “Documentary makers are members of the media. My client has not in any way interfered with the proceedings of this trial. There is no risk that has been posed by the documentary makers. We are being targeted and singled-out unfairly,’’ said Winks.

So did the prosecution seek the ban.
