He said that Delton Sithole’s version of a gun in Oosthuyzen’s possession, by even describing the size thereof, proves that there was in fact a gun present.

Adv Molokoane further argued that Sithole could not have corroborated evidence with Mlotshwa because of “minor in discrepancies” in their testimonies.

He argued that the accused admitted to kidnapping Mlotshwa and said that the threats they claim he made is highly unlikely.
