Senzo Meyiwa’s Cousin reveals Who killed Senzo

In a shocking turn of events, Siyabonga Miya, cousin and spokesperson for the late Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, has asserted that the sportsman was not killed by robbers six years ago.

Instead, Miya claims that Longwe Twala, son of music mogul Chicco Twala, fatally shot Meyiwa during an argument with Twala’s then-girlfriend, Zandi Khumalo.

Miya made these sensational claims during an interview with Newzroom Afrika on Tuesday, following a News24 report that stated police investigators had allegedly found a gun believed to have been used in Meyiwa’s murder on October 26, 2014. The firearm, reportedly linked to a suspect currently serving a 30-year sentence for another murder, could potentially lead to a breakthrough in the case, according to a police officer associated with the investigation.

However, the national police, represented by spokesperson Vish Naidoo, denied any knowledge of these developments, stating, “If there is anything on the Meyiwa matter, everyone will be informed, it won’t be anyone’s scoop. The national police are the only ones speaking on the matter.”

Despite these official denials, leaks over the years have suggested various angles to Meyiwa’s murder. Previous reports hinted at the absence of robbers during the incident, challenging the initial narrative of an armed intrusion. Another report implicated Meyiwa’s girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, alleging her involvement in orchestrating the hit on the goalkeeper’s life.

Miya disclosed that the family learned about the recent reports through the media and had not been contacted by the police. He further claimed that National Police Commissioner General Khehla Sitole was aware that Meyiwa was shot by someone inside the Khumalo home and accused Longwe Twala of being the perpetrator.

“The police right now are supposed to be arresting Longwe Twala for killing Senzo. Senzo was shot by Longwe Twala; there was no one who entered the house. Then, after that, they must arrest all the police in the case for defeating the ends of justice,” asserted Miya.

Miya emphasized that the responsibility for making arrests rested with the police, expressing the family’s frustration with the lack of progress in the investigation. Despite the tumultuous developments, he affirmed the family’s stance, stating, “Whether they arrest him or not is up to them, because we have said several times, there was no one who entered the house.”

As the controversy surrounding Senzo Meyiwa’s tragic death persists, the family remains in distress, with Miya expressing hope for healing in the future.
