Senzo Meyiwa Trial Takes Unexpected Turns: From Building Tools and a Microscope to Albert Einstein
- A clip from the Senzo Meyiwa trial has South Africans saying that this criminal case has it all
- Intense discussions have arisen over the bullet found at the crime scene and its possible connection to a firearm under investigation
- Judge Mokgoatlheng gave his own explanation and opinion during the trial, which led to people debating if this was proper conduct
PRETORIA—The Senzo Meyiwa case at the Pretoria High Court has created a discussion online regarding the characters in the case and the ethics of whether Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng should be giving his own explanations.

The court resumed on 30 August with the defence's comment about precision and the appearance of building tools in the hand of the defence.
"Getting back to our topic of science being an art of accuracy, precision and consistency."
Colonel Chris Mangena then faced tough questions from the defence in an attempt to undermine his testimony. The defence tried to imply that the quality of analysis and exhibits would be higher if a person was well-to-do and lived in an affluent area like Sandton instead of living in the 'bundus.'

The online debate of the court theatrics
@GracefulAunt asks the judiciary to get involved:
"It is improper for a judge to give his own explanation and opinion DURING a trial! Why is the judiciary silent on this? Why are you silent about this circus?"
@ThabisoSithole responds to the above statement with an alternative viewpoint:
"On the contrary, the fact that the court is up to scratch and understands the evidence that is being led is a thing of beauty. I would be more worried if the court had no idea what was going on. What judge is narrating is common sense/fact and not evidence."
@Bhubesi_ZN comments on what this case does to South Africa's justice system:
"This case is a mockery of the justice system in RSA, they select the most unserious people to preside over this case…"
@Tazz1754621 finds hilarity in the judge's explanation.
"Mangena said you turn both not just one. Now my lord makes it seem like you check the one only. He’s not listening and taking notes that’s why he’s not following. How to compare two striations if you only twisting one bullet ? 😂😂😂"
@SuccessBB77 gives their opinion on what science is:
Science is not about common sense.
What you need to know about the Senzo Meyiwa trial
Senzo Meyiwa was shot and killed in 2014 at the home of singer Kelly Khumalo’s mother. Five men are currently on trial for the murder of the former Bafana Bafana captain. The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial continues to be a sensational and drawn-out affair.
Meyiwa’s family believes the trial should include more individuals and has received a tip suggesting the soccer star was killed by someone inside the house. Kelly Khumalo’s lawyer, Magdalene Moonsamy, has been barred from accessing court documents and attending the proceedings by the Gauteng High Court.
A Netflix documentary examines Meyiwa’s death, exploring the suspects and evidence in detail. Tumelo Madlala, a key witness who was at Kelly Khumalo’s home when Meyiwa was shot, recently revealed he was paid by Netflix for his involvement in the documentary during his cross-examination.
In 2016, the Premier Soccer League insurance policy was set to provide R4 million to Meyiwa’s estate, with the amount equally divided between Orlando Pirates and his family, according to the policy terms.
