For the past few years, South Africa has had a number of high-profile cases that left many people in shock and had citizens talking every single day about these cases. because of how they were reported all over the news platforms and in the media. It seems like this is something that South Africa will go through every single year, where a high-profile case gets televised and becomes something that people want to see and for justice to be served.
This year’s high-profile case is that of former Orlando Pirates Captain Senzo Mayiwa, who lost his life in the year 2014. Senzo was murdered allegedly by thugs who broke into his girlfriend’s home, who was singer Kelly Khumalo at that time.

After the murder occurred, Kelly Khumalo and all who were present narrated the story of what actually took place and why Senzo was the only one who lost his life.
Many people started doubting that it was actually thugs who broke into the house that murdered Senzo Mayiwa. The four suspects who are allegedly responsible were arrested and a trial took place for them this year. More was revealed about the day that Senzo died, which made people believe even more that someone in the house could have been responsible for Senzo’s murder, and none of them wanted to tell the truth because it could lead to a life completely ending.
