Dr Johannes Steenekamp, who took the stand as a new state witness told the court that Senzo Meyiwa died from internal bleeding. When questioned about how long he thinks the footballer survived after being shot he said:

Steenekamp's testimony left Mzansi divided. Some are calling for the immediate arrest of Zandie and Kelly Khumalo because they "lied under oath" that Senzo was alive on the way to the hospital.

Responding to a tweet by @joy_zelda, fans said the Khumalos are not medical practitioners, so maybe they did not know that Senzo had passed away when they rushed him to the hospital.

"All those people don't have the authority to declare him dead. They don't even understand anything. Zandie testified that Senzo was cold and another witness said he was heavy. And you know what that means."
