ZANDIE Khumalo has been accused of fabricating stories about the events that lead to the death of Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa in October 2014.
This comes after Zandie failed to remember the colour of the hoodie that was worn by the alleged second intruder at her mum's house in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni. The witness told the court that though she remembers the face of the intruder, she couldn't recall the colour of his clothes.
Advocate Zandile Mshololo for accused five asked Zandie what the colour of the hoodie was.
"I am not able to remember," said Zandie.
Mshololo further told her that there was no way she looked at the face of the person and not know the colour of the hat he was wearing.
"The reason you are unable to say the colour is because you are fabricating a story. There was no intruder," said Mshololo.
Zandie responded: "That is what you are saying. I wouldn't come here to lie to this court."
The state witness also failed to tell the court if she saw who fired the gun that shot Meyiwa as she claimed she was hiding in the bathroom when the two last shots were fired.

Mshololo asked if she couldn't dispute if anyone inside the house disarmed the suspect and shot Senzo.
"When I moved away, Senzo and the first suspect were wrestling," she said.
Mshololo further questioned where singer Kelly Khumalo was at the time Zandie ran into the bathroom.
Zandie said she was in the kitchen where Senzo was shot.
"So, you also could not see if Kelly disarmed the suspect and shot him," asked Mshololo.
State objected stating that there is not no such evidence.
The court also heard that the state was not planning on calling Kelly Khumalo as one of their witnesses, but the defence said they would be bringing an application to have her come testify.
Longwe Twala's brave action of pushing one of the intruders who had a gun before fleeing the scene was also questioned by Mshololo.
She asked if Zandie could comment if it was possible for an unarmed person to attack an armed person.
Presiding judge Ratha Mokgatlheng interjected and said in human experience, it was impossible for a human who was not armed to attack a person who is armed.
The matter had been adjourned to 25 July.
