Sifiso Meyiwa, brother of the late Senzo Meyiwa, has denied allegations that Kelly Khumalo was involved in Senzo’s murder.
The allegations came from statements given by two accused, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya and Bongani Ntanzi, in the ongoing trial at the Pretoria High Court.
Investigating Officer, Brigadier Bongani Gininda, said that Sibiya and Ntanzi had accused singer and actress Kelly Khumalo of ordering the hit on Meyiwa.
In an interview with eNCA, Sifiso Meyiwa dismissed the accusations as lies by Gininda, whom he labelled as corrupt.
He said the real murderer was inside the house where Senzo was killed, and that this person is being protected.
Sifiso, who has more than 20 years of experience working in a police station, argued that the murder scene did not show the work of a professional hitman.
Sifiso is an employee at the Isipingo Police Station in Durban.
Sifiso also criticised Gininda’s methods and described him as dangerous.
He raised doubts about the legality of the confessions and alleged that many people had been offered bribes to confess to the murder.
He stated that one individual attempted to confess before a magistrate in Pietermaritzburg but was dismissed, IOL reported.
Moreover, Sifiso claimed that the state and Gininda are not genuinely seeking justice for his brother’s death.
Senzo Meyiwa, a former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper, was fatally shot on 26 October 2014, while visiting Khumalo at her mother’s home in Vosloorus.
In the house at that time were Khumalo, her sister Zandile, their mother Ntombi Khumalo, Longwe Twala, Senzo’s friends Mthokozisi Thwala and Tumelo Madlala, Khumalo’s son Christian, and Khumalo’s daughter with Senzo, Thingo.
The trial against the five men accused of Senzo’s murder is ongoing.
