According to SowetanLIVE, Ngactshe testified that he witnessed a man looking over the fence that night Meyiwa was killed.
The state witness testified that he had a view of the Khumalo's house from his bedroom window. He said from his bedroom, and he could see a man wearing a white t-shirt standing in the Khumalo's kitchen.
After seeing the man and hearing the commotion in the Khumalo house, Ngcatshe said he and his father went to the kitchen and saw a man jump into their yard from the Khumalos.
He said they were both shocked and wondered what was happening because it was after 7pm.
When we saw him, we were shocked and wondered who he was and what he was doing there. This was after 7pm,” said Ngcatshe.
He explained that the man who jumped over into their yard explained that he was not an intruder.
Judge asks where the neighbours were when Senzo Meyiwa was shot
Ngactshe's testimony comes after presiding Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng questioned Zandle Khumalo's statement about the two intruders in the house.
News24 reported that Mokgoatlheng asked Khumalo why neighbours didn't see the alleged intruders running out of the house after the murder.
"Let me get this, no one in the area saw the robbers running away from the house? This is strange, especially in a township where there are always gossipers," Mokgoatlheng said.
Khumalo responded and said she had no idea what the neighbours saw, but she knew that the police took statements from the neighbours.

"The state witness is lying. Things are not going according to the script. Khaya is lying #SenzoMeyiwa"
@The1Gaffer said:
"In this case, it's unfortunate that the State is so determined to prove its case against the 5 accused, to the point that they're protecting a potential suspect who is currently its witness #SenzoMeyiwa #SenzoMeyiwaTrial"
