Cape Town - The man who was allegedly approached to arrange the murder of Swedish beauty Anni Hindocha, said he was angry because her husband - allegedly the brains behind the killing - had only paid him R1 000.
The man, taxi driver Zola Tongo, was testifying in the trial of British businessman Shrien Dewani.
It was his evidence that Dewani asked him to find people who were willing to take someone "out of sight".
He testified that Dewani spoke to him at the Cape Grace Hotel - where he and Anni stayed while they were on honeymoon in Cape Town.
The court heard that Dewani's instructions were that the killing should be made to look like a hijacking.
Anni was killed on November 13, 2010.
The following morning, at about 9am, Dewani had a verbal exchange with Tongo at the hotel and it was captured on cctv footage.
According to Tongo, Dewani wanted to know from him whether the job had been done.
On the footage Dewani can be seen speaking to a cleaner.
The cleaner left before Dewani turned his attention to Tongo. The two spoke while Dewani paced up and down.
Two days later, he and Dewani met so that Dewani could pay him, the court heard.
On the hotel's cctv footage, which was screened in court on Tuesday, Dewani can be seen handing Tongo a parcel.
Tongo told the court that he went to a private room to open the parcel and that he became angry when he saw it only contained R1 000.
He testified earlier that he had asked for R5 000 for his role.
Dewani, in his plea explanation however, said he had given Tongo R1 000 and a "thank you" card because he felt sorry for him after they had been hijacked.
Tongo also told the court that journalists started to hound him and he mentioned receiving a call from a reporter he identified as Mike, who allegedly pretended that he wanted to discuss a tour.
Mike wanted to know what happened during the incident.
He later discovered that he had actually been speaking to a journalist.
He later decided to come clean and confess because he realised the truth would come out anyway.
The case continues on Wednesday.
