‘Kelly must be arrested’: Tweeps on Senzo Meyiwa’s murder trial

Senzo Meyiwa murder trial: Twitter users are calling for singer Kelly Khumalo’s arrest following the defence’s claim that Longwe Twala’s gun killed the former Bafana Bafana captain but the singer pulled the trigger on Thursday 15 September.

THE SENZO MEYIWA MURDER TRIAL

Senzo Meyiwa is believed to have been shot during an armed robbery at his then-girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s mom’s home in Vosloorus on 26 October 2014. The soccer star’s friend Tumelo Madlala is a state witness in the trial. Madlala was present the night Senzo was murdered. So, who else was there?

  • Kelly
  • Her sister Zandie,
  • Their mother Ntombi
  • Zandi’s then-boyfriend Longwe Twala
  • Senzo’s friends Mthokozisi Thwala 
  • Kelly’s then four-year-old son Christian and Kelly and Senzo’s daughter Thingo

Defence counsel for accused 1-4 Thabiso Thobane said that he had a witness who would come forward and testify that there was a fight before  Meyiwa was shot and people were heard arguing. This was while he cross-examined Madlala, who denied this according to Times Live.

“That’s a lie. The witness can come forward and testify,” said Madlala.

Thobane told the North Gauteng High Court that when Longwe came into the house, an argument took place and he pulled a gun and tussled with the soccer star. He went on to say that Meyiwa took the gun from Longwe and gave it to Kelly. Kelly then allegedly wanted to give the gun back to Meyiwa but it went off and hit Meyiwa at close range.

The trial has been postponed until 14 November.

TWEEPS: ‘KELLY MUST BE ARRESTED’

Twitter users are calling for the singer’s arrest. 

“Kelly must be arrested and be sentence harshly including Longwe Thwala,” wrote @AkLaleki.

“SAPS must Arrest Kelly Khumalo. Zandi , Tumelo and everyone who was present when Senzo Meyiwa was Murdered,” wrote @KingMntungwa.

“Yes they also used his father’s gun, Longwe knows everything, case 375 suggest that it wasn’t a robbery, it was a hit. Kelly knows about it because she stopped Senzo and Tumelo from leaving her house early that night, she knew Longwe was coming,” wrote @Calvin_Rib.
