Sifiso Meyiwa openly stated that Senzo Meyiwa’s killing was an unintended tragedy.
I’m saying it again, nobody was hired to kill Senzo. His murder was a mistake.”
He also firmly emphasized that Kelly could not have orchestrated Senzo’s murder, as he asserted that she genuinely cared for him, even though he had a wife, Mandisa.
“Kelly would never have planned Senzo’s murder, she loved him as his side-chick although she knew that Mandisa [Senzo’s wife] was in the picture.”
However, Sifiso urged Kelly to come forward and provide her version of events from the witness stand.
“Claims that Kelly contacted the suspects are false. She should also take the witness stand and provide a detailed account of what actually transpired.”
Revealing the Truth
Offering insights into Longwe Twala’s involvement, he highlighted that the firearm brought by Longwe was not intended for Senzo Meyiwa. Instead, it was connected to a dispute between Longwe and Zandie Khumalo, Longwe’s girlfriend.
“Even Longwe Twala, who arrived with the firearm, did not intent to shoot Senzo. He was fighting with his girlfriend [Zandie Khumalo] when the shooting incident occurred,” Sifiso stated.
