Longwe Twala has again been identified as the shooter in the Senzo Meyiwa murder.

Court points at Longwe Twala at triggerman

Over a decade since Senzo Meyiwa was killed, investigations into his murder have yet to conclude, though there appears to be some progress.

In the latest trial, it was presented to the court that the gun used to kill the late Orlando Pirates goalie was owned by musician Sipho Chicco Twala.

As more details emerged, it was then suspected that Twala's son, Longwe, could have been the shooter and stole his dad's gun to execute the murder.

Briefly News previously reported on Sipho's statement when he refused to testify and stated that should his son be found guilty, he should be punished for his crimes.

Twitter (X) user MDN News shared a clip from the trial, where Advocate Thulani Mngomezulu claimed that Longwe was responsible for killing Senzo:

"Chico Twala did say at one point that his son knows something."

"This information has been there all along; South Africans know who killed Senzo. Why are you wasting time and state resources?"

"This is the longest case ever in South Africa."

"If he's a suspect, why hasn't Longwe been questioned or subpoenaed to appear in court?"

Kelly Khumalo defended in court

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to Kelly Khumalo being defended by Advocate Zandile Mshololo after she was accused of calling one of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder in 2014.

Mzansi complained about the lack of progress in the case, while others questioned the accuracy of Mshololo's claims.
