Lawyer says accused number three in Senzo Meyiwa trial is subjected to harsh conditions in prison.

Mncube and four others are on trial at the High Court in Pretoria for the 2014 murder of the Bafana Bafana captain

Mnisi says he has been kept in solitary confinement since then, which infringes on his basic human rights.Mnisi says, “Is it really in the interest of justice, where a person is facing such a massive trial, with such massive allegations against him, to be further subjected to this kind of lynching. It surely can’t be in the interest of justice my lord because they know that having him in solitary confinement, has got a damaging effect on your psychology.

Mngomezulu responded by saying, “Because you are doing things behind closed doors to even tell the court what time, at least to estimate. I will make submissions that the court cannot rely on this witness. There is nothing proper that this witness is bringing to this court of sound mind because he can’t recall anything. He can’t even recall that he was at work.
