In his testimony, Samsam is detailing how the accused mastermind, Mojalefa Letele, placed a hammer for him on top of a steel cabinet in the corridors. He alleges Letele signalled to him by nodding where he had placed the murder weapon to carry out the heinous crime against slain Nomsa Stuurman. 

It's alleged that one of the inmates - only known as Thabo, who is the state witness - saw the hammer and took it to a drawer of a steel cabinet in a nearby office. Meanwhile, Advocate Kenny Pretorius has accused Samsam of lying.

Judge Pitso Molitsoane is presiding over the trial. State Prosecutor, Advocate Moipone Moroka,  is expected to call more witnesses to the stand. Samsam was slapped with double life sentences by the High Court in October in 2019 for killing Nomsa Stuurman and for raping and holding her colleague hostage. He previously implicated Letele and said he was promised R100 000, a pair of sneakers and favours to make his life easier, in case he was arrested for the murder. The testimony continues.
