In an interview with eNCA, he said he did not believe that Kelly Khumalo would have planned to kill Senzo because she loved him but was sure that she knew exactly what happened in the house on the night of death:

“They are lying that Kelly called the suspects. She, too, should take to the witness stand and explain exactly what happened.
