LEST WE FORGET: If you are a South African and you have never been forced into any of vehicles or shot by people driving these them or have a relative or friend who suffered the same fate, consider yourself very lucky because to some of us these bring tears, pain and nightmares.

BREAKING NEWS: A convoy of Deputy President David Mabuza was reportedly involved in an accident in Middleburg, Mpumalanga and one of his bodyguards apparently died on the scene but the deputy president wasn’t injured. This is the second accident in recent months.
Deputy president Mabuza’s convoy was involved in another accident on the N1 North in Midrand on July 27 when the vehicles collided with each other and Mabuza wasn’t in the car.
The police statement about the accident: “The SAPS confirms that at about 10:30 on Sunday, 20 November 2022, the Deputy President’s motorcade was travelling between Mpumalanga and Gauteng when one of the back-up vehicles' tyre burst, causing the vehicle to roll over.”
One of Senzo Meyiwa’s best friends, Tumelo Madlala, who was in the house when he was shot, is expected to testify tomorrow. He was in Joburg for less than an hour when Senzo was shot. It would be interesting to hear where he spent the night and why he didn’t attend the funeral.
Where are the sneakers Senzo was wearing when he taken to hospital? Where is the towel, covered with his blood, that was used to cover the bullet hole when he was rushed to hospital? Why was it a mission to hand over Senzo’s belongs to his family #SenzoMeyiwatrial#TumeloMadlala
Can we have the list, at least the first 10 people, that each and everyone who was in the house called after Senzo was shot? Where exactly did Senzo die, in the dinning room between sofa and TV, on someone’s arms, in the car or at the hospital? #SenzoMeyiwatrial#TumeloMadlala
Namibian police chief General Sebastian Ndeitunga just dropped a bombshell in a form of a press statement confirming that his police met with their South African counterparts in “no man’s land” on June 19, 2020 to discuss the theft of money from President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm.
The Namibian police had identified individuals, bank accounts and various properties including lodges, houses and vehicles suspected to have been bought “with the proceeds of crime” and even had their prosecutor general to consider “a preservation of the assets” but no response.
The statement basically states that “a formal request was made” to confirm whether or not a crime was registered in South Africa but “no response was received from South African authorities, resulting in the cancellation of the preservation order and release of assets.” Cover-up.
Unpacking Senzo Meyiwa murder investigation bungle: Police must tell South Africa who, within their ranks, allowed two different teams to investigate one case: team 1 reporting directly to minister Bheki Cele while team 2 to former commissioner Khehla Sitole. #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
They must also explain why Maggie Phiri was not arrested on the spot for interfering with the crime scene, after she admitted cleaning up the house before police arrived. They must tell South Africa why no single statement, from everyone who was in the house, was taken that night
The people who were inside the house must tell South Africa why they didn’t call the police or ask for help. It was only a neighbour, a retired cop, who blew a whistle to alert the others and personally called the cops. One cellphone, that was in the house, was never handed over.
The #SenzoMeyiwatrial will end in tears, the government must quickly issue a tender for a box of tissues. Foot and mouth is a serious disease. #WhoKilledSenzoMeyiwa
Common sense is a flower that doesn t grow in everyone s garden. When robbers go to rob a bank, someone is a designated driver, someone is on the lookout while others will go in and rob. When police arrest the suspects for the robbery, the driver and lookout guys are arrested too
Just because the state claims two people entered the house on the night Senzo was killed, it doesn’t mean there were no other people allegedly involved in the planning and execution of a crime. The burden is on the state to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that they have a case
