He claims he received the information from a source directly involved in the botched robbery "cover-up" who gave him a heads-up:

“He pulled me to the side and said, ‘Son, all this talk about intruders entering the house is not true. It’s all for the media because Senzo was loved. What happened was Senzo was shot when Zandie and her boyfriend were fighting'.”

Longwe and Kelly's sister Zandie were lovers, and Sifiso alleges that the couple were not on good terms.

Zandie had been spending time with Senzo, Kelly and a visitor from Durban, Mthokozisi Thwala, whom Longwe assumed was having an affair with Zandie.

He then went to the Khumalo residence to confront Zandie in a rage, pointing a gun at her. He fired the first bullet, which hit the floor and Zandie's foot.
