Mthobisi Mncube, one of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, in the Pretoria high court. File photo.A firearm found in the possession of Mthobisi Mncube in 2015, almost three months after the murder of football star, was traced to a Fidelity security guard from Centurion, the Pretoria high court heard on Monday.
State witness Sgt Mandla Masondo on Monday testified he found Mncube in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition as he investigated an Alexandra matter linked to a taxi killing. When he arrested Mncube on February 9 2015, who had dreadlocks and a hand injury, he found an unlicensed 9mm pistol.“I followed up on the ownership of the firearm and it is of a juristic person, a Fidelity [officer] in Centurion,” he said.
The firearm was sent for examination and Mncube’s cellphone confiscated for downloading. The court has seen and heard evidence onDuring cross-examination by Mncube’s counsel, advocate Charles Mnisi, Masondo conceded he had no warrant when he searched Mncube and the room where he was living. Mnisi asked whether the firearm found in the possession of Mncube had anything to do with the “Vosloorus case”, referring to Meyiwa's killing in October 2014. “Should it have been, definitely, I think I was going to deal with it at that time and others.”
