A South African judge ruled a key witness in the Phala Phala trial wasn’t recalcitrant despite inconsistent testimony.
A South African magistrate has rejected the prosecution’s bid to label a state witness recalcitrant in the Phala Phala trial, ruling that inconsistencies in his testimony—such as changing his account of payment from $30,000 to R7,000—do not prove uncooperation.
The witness, a driver linked to the 2020 theft of $580,000 from President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Limpopo farm, claimed he was pressured into signing a police statement he didn’t understand.
The state seeks a trial within a trial to challenge the statement’s authenticity, while the defense denies coercion.
