Zandile Khumalo sticks to version of events
During gruelling cross-examination from the defence on Tuesday, 25 July, Khumalo stuck to her guns. The singer and dancer insisted that the soccer star was killed by one of the two intruders who broke into her mother's Vosloorus house.
The defence lawyers have put for the argument that one of the occupants of the house shot and killed Meyiwa.

However, during her re-examination by state advocate George Baloyi, Khumalo challenged the defence to provide proof that their claims were true.
Khumalo insisted that she had nothing to gain from protecting her ex-boyfriend Longwe Twala and that there wasn't a plan to cover up what happened to Meyiwa, The Citizen reported.
Khumalo said:
“No one among us killed Senzo, there were intruders who came into the house. And also, if they believe that, I like that they must come with the proof to show that there were no intruders on that day.”
