Cross examination of Mlotshwa to start

Victor Mlotshwa, the man who was forced into a coffin, continued his testimony today (Thusday).

The court was shown two videos, the one that went viral on social media and led to the charges against Willem Oosthuyzen and Theo Jackson, as well as a second, much longer one, made available by their defence on Monday.

During the longer video, members of the public showed their shock with many walking out and other bursting out in tears.

Mlotshwa denied stealing cable, as alleged on the video and also disputed the place pointed out by the accused, during the inspection in loco on Tuesday.

He has completed his testimony in chief. The court adjourned before cross examination will start.
