The defense in the Senzo Meyiwa trial has informed the court that there are outstanding funds to pay for  their own expert and therefore are unable to cross examine ballistic expert Chris Mangena at this stage. The trial was postponed 3 weeks ago to allow the defense to prepare for the cross examination of Mangena- who has linked a gun found in possession of accused number 3 - to the Meyiwa murder. Five men are on trial for the murder of the Bafana Bafana soccer star who was shot and killed in 2014. Defence counsel Charles Mnisi says although the family of the accused has raised some money, it's not enough to pay for their ballistic expert.
