‘It was Kelly Khumalo who mistakenly shot Senzo Meyiwa’ – lawyer

Defence lawyer Malesela Teffo has told the High Court in Pretoria that it was singer Kelly Khumalo who allegedly mistakenly shot her lover and football star Senzo Meyiwa in 2014.

Teffo made the claim while he cross-examined state witness Sergeant Thabo Mosia.

Five men, Muzikawukhulelwa S’Tembu Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Mncube, Mthokoziseni Ziphozonke Maphisa and Fisokuhle Ntuli are on trial for the murder of the late Bafana Bafana goalkeeper and captain.

The defence says it has an eyewitness who will testify how it was Khumalo who pulled the trigger on a revolver that killed Meyiwa.

“The firearm used to shoot Senzo Robert Meyiwa by Kelly Khumalo came with Logwe Twala.”

Teffo claims a meeting was held with those in the house, the police and community safety MEC Sizakele Nkosi Malobane.

“The meeting was all about how to conceal or how to hatch a plan of avoiding to say how Senzo was killed,” he said.

      Let’s get this clear!
      You are taking the words of the defence lawyer!!
      It’s certainly not kelly who claims, she shot Senzo by mistale!!

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Veronica Mundandi Im not sure if you are following the trial!

      It was this same defence lawyer who kept requesting the postponement of the trial since 2017!

  • Soaky Mlambo

    I wish she rots in jail,there’s no such mistake,if it was a mistake she was supposed to have picked up her phone and called the police the same day same time the incident occurred

    • Tendai Chineka

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Tendai Mapako he was requesting & guaranteed the postponement of the trial since 2017!!
      By the way this Teffo is a defence lawyer, defending 4 suspects accused of murdering Meyiwa!!

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Kudakwashe Zarenyara wait, I don’t have a data to open the link!
      But here it says the defence lawyer not the police, PA & certainly not the judge who has this assertion!

      Lina sillyakweqa lithi akashwe ngenxa , yelawyer lemgulukudu le!!

  • AL Hadji

    may she mistakenly die in jail!

  • Abe Mheta Saunyama Tombo

    It’s true. Because a robbery suspect can not disappear into thin air as long as the witnesses tell the police the truth.

    • Abe Mheta Saunyama Tombo

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka the people in that house know what happened to Senzo. They told the police the shooter ran away when there was no one who ran away that is why no one was caught.

    • Abe Mheta Saunyama Tombo

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka i don’t agree with the defence lawyer but always knew it that Kelly Khumalo knows Who killed Senzo. And if she appears on TV i change the channel.

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Abe Mheta Saunyama Tombo you said its true ( like you were there)
      Im saying so do you agree with the defence lawyer!
      If you do those 4 accused my therefore be set free!!

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Abe Mheta Saunyama Tombo sentimental conclusion aside!!
      The defence lawyer is the 1 accusing Kelly of shooting Senzo, not the police or PP!!

  • Dumisani Dube

    You are now tired of lies you now choose to cross the Border 🤔

  • Fulton Magura

    life is not fair at all along she was quite .ngoba…?this was a planned game not mistake never.since 2014 now its 2023 a killer was silent.we need clarity and law must take a good decision to situation like this.you cant be a celebrity with blood in your hands.zenzo meyiwa fight the killer

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Fulton Magura I beg to differ with you!!
      If you have been following the Senzo case 4 guys were arrested as suspects!!
      This is their defense lawyer who accuses Kelly for Senzo’s murder, not the police, not the PP or judge!!

  • Susan Carlsson

    I think her intention was to kill, she must face justice just like Oscar Pretorius?!??

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Susan Carlsson re- read the post!
      Are You saying this on the bases of the defence lawyer, who was not there during the murder!!

    • Susan Carlsson

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka I’m saying she didn’t mistakenly kill him, she had good intentions, I’m taking it from the Lawyer’s perspective! Why did she clean the crime scene up?

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Susan Carlsson a sentimental conclusion!!
      May I correct you, there is no verdict team!
      The verdict will come from the judge after the trial!
      So you are you suggesting the 4 suspects must be released & Kelly arrested as asserted by the defence lawyer??

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Susan Carlsson there is no jury there , but only a judge!
      The judge will make a decision after!
      Pls don’t be angry , we are just in the social media discussion!!

    • Lungelwe Ndlovu

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka you are taking me through a journey of legal discovery.with the comments, you can easily tell that the people don’t know legal processes

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Lungelwe Ndlovu jaa!
      The biggest problem is hearing or reading & getting the story from the social media!!
      The person who accuses Kelly for Senzo’s murder is a lawyer ( defence) of the 4 murder suspects, not the police, PP ( Public Prosecutor) or the judge!!
      Therefore, he seeks in his defence for the 4 suspects to be aquited & Kelly arrested, but people in the social media have found Kelly guilty on what bases??

    • Susan Carlsson

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodakaNcagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka the Jury also comes up with the final verdict and judge makes me final decision,

    • Susan Carlsson

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka suspects not released, Kelly knows what happened?

    • Ba Tino Sunday

      Susan Carlsson SA courts don’t use the jury system,it’s the judge’s decision don’t u get it.?

  • Fulton Magura

    vaka jaira kuuraya vanhu hakuna mistake yakadaro never……………

  • Vic Tyson Noah

    The lawyer says allegedly, he doesnt have evidence to prove his allegations! Allegations are not facts nor truth! In other words he is lying, he is clutching at straws!!!

    Am in Francistown, come and beat me!!

    • Tasha Tyra Muleya

      Vic Tyson Noah we don’t need to beat you something wrong with your brain,as old as you are you think its a game

    • Vic Tyson Noah

      Tasha Tyra Muleya why do yu think something is wrong with my brain! Did he give evidence to prove his allegations? Dont use your emotions to make conclusions, dont use your hate fo Kelly and your love for soccer(Meyiwa) to judge, use facts put foward! Am sure if Kelly’s lawyer can also come with allegations that Meyiwa accidentally shot himself yu will deny cos ýu loved him ! I dont just believe everything without supporting evidence

    • Tasha Tyra Muleya

      Vic Tyson NoahVic Tyson Noah stop being naive he said he had a witness who saw Kelly shoot Meyiwa use your listening ears .

    • Vic Tyson Noah

      Tasha Tyra Muleya the witness they paid to lie ! How are they sure the witness is telling the truth ! Kelly”s lawyer may also come with a witness claiming Senzo shot himself , will yu believe that?

    • Jakalas Satwaa

      Vic Tyson Noah you are very dull
      We all know how many pple were in the house when senzo died and one of them will testify

    • Vic Tyson Noah

      Jakalas Satwaa by ” we all know” yu refering to who JAKALAS!? Some of us we dont know how many people were there and am sure yu dont know too cos yu were not there neither do yu know who was there

    • Jakalas Satwaa

      Vic Tyson Noah Kelly,senzo,senzo’s 2 kids zandile and longwe twala

    • Vic Tyson Noah

      Jakalas Satwaa thats what yu were told , yu are not even sure

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Jakalas Satwaa does that include the 4 suspects that the above mentioned lawyer is defending in your “we know how many ppl were in the house” assertion??

    • Jakalas Satwaa

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka three of those suspects were sarving jail term by the time murder occurred they were taken from prison for that case
      Those ones I can tell they are the wrong suspects

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Jakalas Satwaa a sentimental
      conclusion !
      So are you saying those suspects should be aquited & Kelly arrested as suggested by their lawyer Taffo??

    • Jakalas Satwaa

      Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka they are serving sentences those ones even in 2014 they were in custody serving long sentences
      They js picked them in custody point them as suspects even they are aquitted in this case they won’t go outside

    • Vic Tyson Noah

      Jakalas Satwaa are yu saying when Senzo was killed the suspects were in jail and were taken from prison and charged of murder??

    • Jakalas Satwaa

      Vic Tyson Noah If you are not following that case you better keep quite

      Irvine MrSpeaker-Sir Gomo he is lying by making allegations that he purports to be the truth

  • Otey Mzimbani

    Obvious Kelly killed Senzo if not her who else killed Senzo

  • Meeting Dzokamushure

    Remember this is a defense lawyer. Sometimes these lawyers can defend a real culprit by any means whilst genuinely knowing his client is on the wrong side of the law.

  • Cedric Phiri

    Yes l dont like her any more to jail till she dies there

  • Fran Mash

    He was seeing his wife again so she had a motive. She was a woman scorned. It was a matter of if I can’t have you, noone will… No mistake about that.

  • Kaitano Mbaya

    The 8th eye witness will testify,and why Longwe Chicc called his father not police or ambulance at the scene

  • Kudakwashe Kujo Jonga

    Kelly Khumalo shot Senzo Meyiwa but Khumalo is a client and the lawyer is doing is job

  • Tony Sibanda

    If she shoot him by mistake she could have confessed long time ago, rather she rushed for processing the Will

  • Polan Wiz Kidd

    Until proven guilty this reasoning is still a fallacy. There is so much at stake in this case and it can go either way. The Most important thing however is to let the world know who shot our beloved Meyiwa.

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Sunny Juru i don’t think you read the article or you are being sentimental!!
      This is an accusation from the defence lawyer not the police, PP , or judge!!
      He is defending the 4 suspects accused of murdering Meyiwa!
      Therefore you can not condemn her on that bases!

  • Taruvinga Chiwera

    Why didn’t shot herself by mistake , nonsense ,she must rot in prison

    • Ncagu Sbhamusogodo KaSibungusodaka

      Taruvinga Chiwera I don’t think you read the article!
      Or you were not following the case!
      This is the assertion of the defence lawyer ( defending the 4 suspects accused of murdering Senzo) not of the police, PP or judge!
      So should she rot in prison because of a statement from the defence lawyer!!

  • Shacky Mutopa

    By using the word mistakenly the lawyer retarally is is saying she is not guilty.How does the lawyer know it was by mistake?
