She opened an assault case against him in May 2020.
Fifty five-year-old Zondo is facing eight charges of rape, one of indecent assault and one of defeating the ends of justice.
On Tuesday, the court heard how he allegedly offered to buy the silence of the witness.
Zondo is said to have offered her livestock and R25 000 in exchange for dropping the charges – which she says she declined.
