New witness expected to spill explosives as Senzo Meyiwa trial gathers pace

As the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial resumes this morning, a new witness is expected to take the stand.

The witness is expected to shed light on the tragic events surrounding the death of the former South African football captain.

The trial took a dramatic turn on Friday when two confession statements, allegedly made by the accused individuals, implicated singer Kelly Khumalo in ordering the hit that led to Meyiwa’s untimely demise.

Meyiwa, a beloved figure in South African sports, was fatally shot in 2014 while at Khumalo’s parental home in Vosloorus on Gauteng’s East Rand.

The case has gripped the nation for years, with many eager for justice to be served and closure to be found for Meyiwa’s family and loved ones.

Lieutenant Colonel Solomon Raphadu, who played a crucial role in documenting the confession statement of accused number two, Bongani Ntanzi, on 19 June 2020, read out the chilling details in court.

According to the alleged confession, Ntanzi was reportedly called upon to assist in a contract killing that was purportedly ordered by Khumalo herself.

The revelation of Khumalo’s alleged involvement has sent shockwaves through the trial, raising questions about her role in the tragic incident that shook the nation.
