Senzo shot while breaking up argument

Makhosazana Vilakazi, Senzo Meyiwa’s aunt, also noted that the first calls they received did not mention intruders.

She explained that Kelly had phoned Senzo’s sister after the shooting and told Nokuthula’s husband that Senzo was shot while trying to stop a fight between Longwe Twala and Zandie Khumalo.

She added that she believed the five men arrested for the crime were not involved in the actual murder.

“They are just using them as scapegoats. They were arrested for other things,” she said.
“They have nothing to do with this case. Those who were inside the house know the truth,” she added.
