PRETORIA – Another delay may be on the cards for the Senzo Meyiwa trial.
This as the Legal Aid Board says it will not cover some of the fees for the defence’s ballistics expert. 
The defence has been using the services of a private ballistics expert to challenge the State’s evidence.
But the board says the state expert’s evidence only implicates one of the accused.

It says the defence expert’s presence in court was not required when evidence was led by lawyers for the other accused. 
State ballistics expert Chris Mangena has been testifying after he was recalled to the stand.
Mangena’s testimony has linked the bullet used to kill Meyiwa directly to accused number 3 Mthobisi Mncube.
But the defence insists Mncube is being framed and the ballistic analysis is wrong.
