Meyiwa was shot dead on October 26 2014 in his then-girlfriend Kelly Khumalo's presence at her mother's home in Vosloorus. Also present were her sister Zandile, her then-boyfriend Longwe Twala, the women's mother Ntombi Khumalo and Meyiwa's friends Mthokozisi Thwala and Tumiso Madlala.
Five men are on trial for the murder.
Madlala told the Pretoria high court that two would-be robbers entered the house and demanded valuables. Meyiwa had one of the home invaders pinned to a wall when the shot was fired.
He identified accused number two, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, as one of the intruders.
