CAUGHT LYING: Ntanzi’s Own Selfie Metadata Just Destroyed His Alibi In Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial

Описание: In this gripping courtroom video, Mzansi Breakdown brings you the explosive moment when the State confronted an accused in a South African murder trial with a selfie recovered from his own phone's memory card, completely destroying his testimony. Mr. Ntanzi had repeatedly told the court under oath that he did not have possession of his cell phone while in custody, yet the State presented a photo timestamped 24 September 2020 taken on a Samsung J5, the exact model of his seized device, showing him with grown hair that directly contradicted his claim that he never grew his hair before his arrest. With 1,718 calls logged between the accused's number and a key associate's number, and the accused insisting a stranger was using his phone, the evidence painted a devastating picture of deception before the court.

The revelation sparked a fierce legal battle in the courtroom as defense attorneys accused the State of trial by ambush, arguing that the specific photograph had never been presented as an exhibit or disclosed individually despite thousands of files being shared on a USB drive. The State fired back, citing cross-examination principles and prior testimony confirming the authenticity of all downloaded files, insisting it was fully entitled to confront the witness with any disclosed material. The presiding judge ultimately intervened in the interest of fairness, granting the defense additional time to review the photographic evidence, but not before the damage to the accused's credibility had already been done in open court.
