A security guard who said he fired 15 shots at two gunmen was told by the defence in the trial of Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala and his four co-accused on Thursday that not one of his empty bullet casings was found at the scene.
Bethuel Mzamo Cele rejected it outright.
"It's a lie," he told the Johannesburg High Court, repeating it several times.
Cele, the state's first witness, survived the ambush of taxi boss Joe "Ferrari" Sibanyoni at the Centurion Golf Estate on August 10 2022, where he was working as a guard.
