AfriForum’s legal head, Advocate Gerrie Nel says the “mastermind” behind the murder of former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa is now “known to police” at the Pretoria High Court today (11 April) but Tweeps think fingers are pointing in the direction of Longwe Twala.
SENZO MEYIWA: MURDER TRIAL
Former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa was said to have been killed in an armed robbery. The alleged armed robbery took place at the house of Senzo’s then-girlfriend singer Kelly Khumalo on 26 October 2014.
The former Bafana Bafana’s captain’s murder was investigated in a Netflix documentary. The documentary pointed out many loopholes in the story of those who were inside the house at the time. So, who was in the house?
- Kelly
- Her sister Zandie,
- Their mother Ntombi
- Zandi’s boyfriend Longwe Twala
- Meyiwa’s friends Mthokozisi Thwala and Tumelo Madlala
NETFLIX DOCCIE EXPLORES THEORY OF LONGWE KILLING SENZO
The theory of Longwe Twala being accused of killing Senzo was explored in the documentary. Longwe, the son of South African musician Chicco Twala, was dating Kelly’s sister Zandie at the time. He allegedly suspected that she was cheating.
A Tweep who goes by the handle Man’s Not Barry Roux claimed that Zandie and Longwe got into a fight. Senzo allegedly tried to protect her and Longwe shot him. Senzo’s sister said that Kelly had called her and told her that Longwe and Senzo got into a fight, that night.
Tweeps were further suspicious of Longwe when he told two versions of the story. He first said that he ran out of the house but he did not have his phone on him to call for help at the time. However, in another interview Longwe said the robbers could not take his phone because he had it with him when he ran out. Chicco has been accused of paying people to cover up for his son.
The latest on the case is that the Nel says police know who the “mastermind” behind the murder is. The case has also been delayed for 24 hours. So, social media users took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
TWEEPS: ‘FINGERS ARE POINTING AT LONGWE’
Twitter users seem to believe Longwe is guilty and Nel is “being bought”. Tweeps also think the stories from interviews contradict each other.
for investigation. The radio host then proceeds to ask him “did the criminals not take your phone?” He then replies and said no , they didn’t take it because it was in his pocket when he ran out of the house. Contradiction, Hayi khona
