THE second key witness in the murder trial of Senzo Meyiwa is expected to continue testifying about the events on the night the soccer star was shot dead in October 2014.
Khaya Ngcatshe, the Khumalos' neighbour in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni took the stand in the North Gauteng High Court on Tuesday, 25 July, after singer Zandie Khumalo finished testifying.
He told the court that he was in his bedroom coming from an event with his brother when he heard a lot of noise in the Khumalos household.
He said it was shortly after 7pm.
"I looked through the window to see what was happening and I saw a man in a white T-shirt with his back to the kitchen window.
"I decided to go outside to check. I took an iron bar with me and while I was making my way there, my dad told me not to go because he heard a gunshot," he said.
He and his father, Lesly Ngcatshe, decided to go outside and they saw a young man jumping over the wall into their yard.

Khaya said the man told them he had done nothing wrong, but there was trouble at the Khumalo's, and he jumped back.
The witness said he had people saying they saw people running down the road, and he and other community members chased after them.
Khaya said they ran until they got to a park, but they didn't see anyone.
"í went back to the Khumalos' house and when I got there, I saw a man lying on the floor near the kitchen. I then realised it was Senzo and he was wearing a white T-shirt."
He said he and other group of people assisted and getting Senzo into the car.
"He was very heavy. We were bout seven of us who carried him into the car," Khaya told the court.
