According to eNCA, Sifiso insisted that the police were using the accused to cover for the people who ended Meyiwa's life.

Sifiso Meyiwa's beliefs cause tension

Meyiwa's brother's steadfast belief that the wrong people are on trial led to a blowout between himself and lawyer Gerrie Nel.

Senzo Meyiwa's brother points finger at Longwe Twala

Earlier, Briefly News reported that Sifiso Meyiwa has reiterated what he believes happened in the Khumalo family home on 26 October 2014 in Vosloorus.

He said that Longwe Twala, the son of music producer Chicco Twala, was the one who brought the murder weapon into Kelly Khumalo's family home. He claims he received the information from a source directly involved in the botched robbery "cover-up" who gave him a heads-up:

“He pulled me to the side and said, ‘Son, all this talk about intruders entering the house is not true. It’s all for the media because Senzo was loved. What happened was Senzo was shot when Zandie and her boyfriend were fighting'.”
