On Tuesday the murder trial of former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana captain and goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa resumed in Pretoria.

Malesela Teffo, who is representing the four men accused of killing the football star, made claims that an alleged eye witness will give a testimony that Meyiwa was mistakenly shot by his then girlfriend and baby mama musician Kelly Khumalo.

The defence introduced this version of events by an alleged eye witness who has not yet been called to the stand while cross examining the state first witness on Wednesday.

Previous, there were claims that her then sister’s boyfriend Longwe Twala, the son of popular music producer Chicco Twala was alleged to be the real killer.

 

 

 

 

 

Teffo, said the alleged eye witness would testify that Meyiwa was shot by Kelly Khumalo using a gun that belonged to Longwe Twala.

According to the advocate who didn’t substantiate his claims, a plan was hatched to conceal the truth about Meyiwa’s tragic death and stage the scene so that those who were in the present during the shooting would not be held responsible.

Teffo has claimed that after the goalkeeper was gunned down, a meeting was held between the people in the house, which included Kelly Khumalo, her sister Zandie Khumalo, their mother Ntombi Khumalo, Zandie’s then boyfriend Longwe Twala and Meyiwa’s friends Tumelo Madlala and Mthokozisi Thwala.

Teffo also claimed that after Meyiwa had been shot, a meeting was held between the people in the house and high-ranking police officers, as well as a former Gauteng community safety MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malubane.
