Kelly Khumalo trends after update on Senzo Meyiwa
Briefly News previously reported that disbarred Advocate Malesela Teffo made a video, calling for people not to vilify Kelly Khumalo. However, he still maintains that Kelly Khumalo is the key to solving the murder case.
In his interview with Podcast and Chill with MacG, Teffo alleged that Kelly Khumalo accidentally shot Meyiwa, rubbishing their claim of home invaders. He further alleged that he was in possession of a signed affidavit from Longwe Twala. He added that Kelly should testify and give the nation peace.

"So, vele. The, state is protecting Kelly, her mom, MaPhiri and others from being grilled?"
@ka_madesi
"What a joke. Three years of pure nonsense. At this point, we all don’t know what the state case is…worse, the so-called “mastermind” is out here enjoying her life."
@moruno179
"The NPA must protect its credentials. 3 years of Baloyi doing nothing! They said Kelly is the mastermind, but she is not called to testify. So what a useless trial I ever saw. The professionalism that where in the Oscar Pretorius case when the NPA was still NPA."
@MrsDeeMakhosi argued:
"I'm not a legal expert, and I don't have any legal, but how on earth don't you not call all the people who were in the house that day, and you only be selective on who came to testify?"
