Mnisi’s girlfriend, Pinky Gantso, is currently testifying.
He had previously told the court that he was in Daveyton at 11 o'clock on the day that Fose went missing.
But his girlfriend delivered a different account.
State prosecutor Shadrack Temeki is questioning the witness.
"If the accused says at 11 o'clock he was in Daveton, would he be lying, correct?" Temeki asked.
"Yes, that is correct," Gantso said.
