Longwe Twala, the son of veteran producer and musician Sello “Chicco” Twala, is implicated with Kelly Khumalo in Senzo Meyiwa’s murder – Sunday World reports. Meyiwa, who was shot and killed in 2014, was in a relationship with Kelly at the time. Meanwhile, Longwe was dating Kelly’s sister, Zandile “Zandie” Khumalo.
According to Sunday World, Longwe is implicated with Kelly on charges of common purpose, conspiracy to commit murder and the murder of Meyiwa. This is reportedly linked to an affidavit by one of Meyiwa’s friends, alleging that Meyiwa and Zandie were dating behind Kelly and Longwe’s backs.
The friend revealed that the deceased confessed to sleeping with his girlfriend’s sister. Meyiwa also allegedly revealed that his relationship with Longwe was shaky because he had suspicions of the “affair”.
During the trial-within-a-trial at the North Gauteng High Court on Wednesday, 24 January, it was revealed that Kelly is implicated as the person who allegedly ordered the hit on the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.
Lead investigator Brigadier Bongani Gininda told the court that accused number one and two (Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya and Bongani Ntanzi) implicated Kelly as the mastermind.
“It was further discovered that, through cellphone analysis, her cellphone memory album has the same photo of a see-through bag containing cash notes and in the exact position or location or spot as that of accused number three. Sunday World reports that the same photo was also found in Longwe’s phone.
The publication further reports that, according to police inquiry, Longwe and Kelly made several calls to each other before the incident.
