The Shrien Dewani murder trial is continuing at the Western Cape High Court today. The Court has heard that it was strange that a murder convicted shuttle taxi driver did not follow up with Shrien Dewani when he would get his payment for killing his wife. Dewani’s lawyer Francois van Zyl was trying to find out what arrangements Zola Tongo allegedly made with his client regarding the R5000 payment. Dewani is on trial for allegedly masterminding the murder while the couple were on honeymoon in Cape Town in 2010. He has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder, maintaining they were the victims of a hijacking in Tongos shuttle taxi. During cross-examination Tongo says he could not remember discussing how he would be paid, which Van Zyl found strange because Tongo had described the payment as important. After more questions, it was revealed Tongo did not ask about the commission when he and Dewani were sitting together at the Cape Grace Hotel on Sunday morning, hours before Annis body was found.
