New details have emerged on the fatal accident that almost killed veteran actor Rapulana Seiphemo and claimed two lives. The new evidence came from 26 year old Nathi Msiza’s lawyer who questioned the investigating officer, Constable Piet Shabalala.
“Did you draw any blood from the victim? If I put it to you that the victim was drunk, what’s your take?” the lawyer asked Shabalala to which he replied, “No comment.”
“There is an article that says prior to the accident the victim was at Shisa Nyama [restaurant] consuming alcohol with Kenneth Nkosi, (fellow actor and friend)” said Msiza’s lawyer Lesole Mokgatle.
However Sephemo had given a different version of events in his statement saying he was waiting in his Audi A4 at a robot in Centurion when Msiza and Makunyane held him at gunpoint and ordered him to drive along the N14 to Mogale City.
Seiphemo reportedly drove along the N1 and took the N14 off-ramp on high speed after Msiza and Makunyane him to slow down. Seiphemo refused and Msiza jumped out of the moving car.
Msiza’s bail application will be handed down on tomorrow the 17th of March.
