Teffo claims Senzo Meyiwa murder accused are innocent

Speaking to MacG and the Podcast and Chill crew, Teffo, who gained prominence after he represented one of the accused in the murder trial of Senzo Meyiwa, declared that the five suspects are innocent. He said that accused numbers one and two had ironclad alibis.

“What I can tell you is that for sure those five guys are innocent, they've got their good alibis. When I'm talking about alibi, I mean accused numbers one and two, they were in KZN the day Senzo was shot and killed in that house,” he said.

Teffo emphasised that the suspects in the Senzo Meyiwa case were being used as scapegoats.

“In summary, I'm saying these five guys who are considered to be the killers of Senzo have been scapegoated, meaning that they are replacing the right people,” Teffo said.

Malesela Teffo blames Kelly Khumalo for Senzo Meyiwa's murder

Teffo alleged that Kelly Khumalo shot and killed Senzo Meyiwa by mistake.

“Senzo was allegedly shot and killed by Kelly [Khumalo] where it was alleged that it was a mistake,” Teffo said.

According to Teffo, Senzo was accidentally shot when Kelly was giving him the firearm that belonged to Longwe Twala. Teffo said Longwe Twala had visited Kelly Khumalo’s house to confront Zandile Khumalo after he suspected her of cheating on him with one of Senzo Meyiwa’s friends.

When asked where he had gotten the information, Malesela Teffo said:

“From the research and investigation. What I got from the people who were there. Eyewitnesses.”
