Ngcatshe then told the court that heard noise, commotion and shoving at the Khumalo household.
Ngcatshe said he thought there was a party as the noise was loud. He then peeped through his bedroom window into the Khumalo home and saw a person wearing a white T-shirt with his back against the kitchen door before a shot was fired.
When asked whether there was any other noise he heard beside the shoving, the neighbour said he heard people screaming as if they were reprimanding someone.
The neighbour further told the court how they found Meyiwa in the sitting room and helped carry him into his BMW X6 that was parked in the Khumalo yard.
The trial continues.
