Finally, another court case drama for us to watch unfold.

This time it’s Shrien Dewani, who is pleading not guilty for the murder and kidnapping of his wife, Anni Dewani, and obstructing justice.

In court yesterday, Dewani’s lawyer, Francois van Zyl,  read out that Dewani “was bisexual and had sexual interactions with both men and women” and that “sexual interactions with males were mostly physical experiences or e-mail chats with people I met online or in clubs”.

And what about the bag swap at the Cape Grace Hotel?

“Prosecutors are expected to argue Mr Dewani changed large amounts of cash into local currency, and spoke frequently to Mr Tongo in person and over the phone, to arrange the murder.”

Dewani explains that he spoke to their taxi driver, Zola Tongo, who was feeling “down because he was being chased by the media and had lost his car”. Dewani felt sorry for him and decided that giving Tongo R1000 was the best thing he could do.

“He asked Tongo to come to the hotel where he would not be hounded by media. Dewani thanked him for his help, gave him the bag in the communication centre of the hotel and shook his hand.”

This is going to be an interesting case.

Dewani has also spent the last few months residing in Valkenberg Hospital, which is a far cry from his previous stay at the Cape Grace.
