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
Why people in the house, when Senzo was shot, didn’t call the police? Why #TumeloMadlala refused to attend Senzo’s funeral when offered a lift to Durban by one Senzo’s friends? Who took #TumeloMadlala to a “witness protection” after Senzo was shot and why did he run away from it?
Someone, who was in the house when Senzo was shot, didn’t hand over their second cellphone, which they had with them on the day, to the police when all cellphones present were supposed to be handed over: who is the person and why did they hide that particular phone to the police?
BREAKING NEWS: A person of interest, whose name has been mentioned several times during the trial, went to Meyiwa home on Friday and promised Senzo’s mother heaven on earth. He traveled from Joburg to Umlazi, three days before the trial resume #JusticeForSenzo#SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots. For anyone, who is right upstairs, to think that I am behind @AdvoBarryRoux, must be smoking something very lethal. My mother taught me very well: Never argue with idiots but expose them #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Justice for Senzo Meyiwa without any fear or favour. The Mewiya family needs closure and justice, not casual visits. The Mewiya family wants to know the truth: who pulled the trigger, who is the mastermind and why was their son killed that night, not gossip. #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Who consulted a sangoma days before Senzo Mewiya was killed? Who visited a sangoma hours after Senzo was murdered? Who assaulted one of the sangomas and dumped her in the middle of the road, between Johannesburg and Pretoria? Who visited Senzo’s grave at night? #SenzoMeyiwaTrail
The case was sabotage within hours after Senzo was shot, when a neighbour allowed to clean the house, when VIPs allowed into the crime scene without gloves, when police failed to take statements from everyone who was in the house while their memories still fresh #SenzoMeyiwaTrail
Two cellphones, that were active on October 26, 2014 and in that house when Senzo was killed weren’t processed by police. One phone was reportedly “stolen by the intruders” and the other one was hidden from the police because someone had more than one phones. #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Shortly after Senzo’s funeral, a senior police officer kept Tumelo Madlala away from the investigating team, she kept telling them that he was in a witness protection house in Cape Town while she kept him in a hotel in Richards Bay, what were they cooking? #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
While Tumelo was in a fake witness protection, another Senzo’s friend who was in the house, Mthokozisi Twala, was summoned to submit additional information but instead he was reportedly assaulted by police after he allegedly refused to make a false statement. #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
BREAKING NEWS: One of Senzo Meyiwa’s childhood friends, Mthokozisi Twala, is expected to take a stand today as a new witness. Mthokozisi spent a week with Senzo along with singer Kelly Khumalo and her sister, Zandile, and was in the house when Senzo was shot. #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Mthokozisi is a cousin to Senzo’s wife, Mandisa Mkhize, and a friend to Kelly Khumalo but isn’t related to Longwe Twala. Mthokozisi has opened a case against police after he was allegedly assaulted when he refused to make a false statement about what happened. #SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Mthokozisi spoke at Senzo’s funeral as a friend and he hasn’t said much since about that happened that night of October 26, 2014. Unlike Tumelo Mdlala, he didn’t spend the night with the Khumalos after Senzo was killed and he left straight from the hospital.#SenzoMeyiwaTrial.

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.”
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
