“IT looks like one will never get their day in court because people entrusted with this case have turned it into a circus.”
These words were written by Zandie Khumalo-Gumede, reacting to Advocate Malesela Teffo’s withdrawal from the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial.
She is part of the seven people who were at the house during the fateful night of October 2014, when the Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana soccer player was shot and killed. Zandie took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the recent development.
“It really pains me that this case doesn’t look like it will be solved anytime soon because South Africa believes opportunists and populists, like this one. It pains me because it means the Meyiwa family will never get justice and mine will forever live under this dark cloud. This one (Teffo) claimed he had an eyewitness. Uphi?” she posted.

“He claimed he had proof that Kelly pulled the trigger, and now he withdraws. He’s had his two minutes of fame,” she continued.
“This is a desperate desire to find the Khumalos guilty. We will believe and back anyone who says what we want to hear and will stand in the way of justice. This tunnel view approach that society is applying to this case is obstructing justice from being served, but qhubekani,” she said.
Zandie further asked when they would be called to court and asked questions. Throughout the trial, Teffo has made claims that there was a plan being hatched by senior officials and politicians to protect those who were in the house when Meyiwa was killed, including the Khumalo sisters.
