The latest comes as a police officer, who was escorting one of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa trial to make confession statements, insisted he was spoiled for choice on what to eat.
Sergeant Vusumuzi Mogane is back on the witness stand on Monday after his testimony was paused to allow for a testimony by a vehicle tracking expert.
The defence pointed out that on the day before Bongani Ntanzi was taken to make his first confession statement, police spent over 17 hours with him.
Advocate Bakwena Monyeki was questioning whether he was given food during this time.
Mogane was also questioned on whether Ntanzi was afforded the opportunity to take a shower.
