Proceedings in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial were abruptly halted in the Pretoria High Court after a security scare in the public gallery. Police removed several people for questioning following intelligence about an alleged threat against key figures in the case.

Security around the courtroom has since been tightened, with extra officers deployed to protect witnesses, prosecutors, and investigators. The trial of the five accused is set to continue under heightened tension and close scrutiny.
