Taking to Twitter, the Skeem Saam star empathised with the Meyiwa family, who saw the court case being delayed again. Sello shared the tweet after Zandie Khumalo, who was scheduled to testify, allegedly asked to give her statement off camera.

Maake also seemingly blasted Zandie for making the court case about her safety rather than seeking justice for Senzo, who lost his life in 2014.

"These people are proving to be so heartless, why can’t this Zandi person testify on camera when she claims to be a celebrity? Some of us didn’t even know of her till the Senzo matter! This is truly annoying what these people are doing to this family! The sooner she testifies the sooner she can go to her ‘quiet’ and so called private life! This is really the worst form of injustice!"

Condemning those who took part in the challenge, Sello said:

JUSTICE FOR #SenzoMeyiwa! I watched how as a country we made jokes about how Senzo's father arrived at his funeral. We have lost our essence of UBUNTU as a nation. That man was showing you guys gratitude! That family lost a son, his children lost their father and his wife lost a husband. Let's not judge Senzo for his promiscuous ways, most men in the Bible where taken down by their partners, Samson and Delilah for example! "
