The nation is confused by the consistent turns the Senzo Meyiwa trial has taken ever since it returned to the nation's eyes. Bongani Gininda has been accused of offering R3 million to one of the suspects to cooperate.

Thulani Mngmezulu claimed that Gininda offered him a large sum for him to be more forthcoming in the trial that was centred around the death of one of Mzansi's biggest football stars. Mzansi wants to know who, after 10 years, is guilty of the crime.
