State witness revelation raises South Africans' suspicions
Below are some comments:
@ImOuttaNames2 pointed out:
“Yet Kelly Khumalo was able to call Chicco, and Chicco actually left Athol and got there to see Senzo dead.”
@Mamthi05 marvelled:
“Yho she [Kelly Khumalo] did not call the police?”
@TruscottTerry said:
“I feel very sad for Senzo Meyiwas’s family. How awful to know that not one person phoned for help. Where is the love?”
@SefakoX questioned:
“It is true, NONE of them inside that house called the police or an ambulance, yet they had cellphones with them. Instead, a few people were called after that incident. The question is why, if their intention was to save his life?”
@NobelaTompson added:
“That on its own raised a lot of questions on why they didn't phone the police, we are going somewhere.”
