WITNESS TELLS HIS ACCOUNT TO THE COURT
Meanwhile, a state witness, also a former friend of Senzo Meyiwa, Tumelo Madlala, appeared at the North Gauteng High Court to relive the events of the bloody day on Tuesday.
One of Senzo Meyiwa’s best friends, Tumelo Madlala, who was in the house when he was shot, is expected to testify tomorrow. He was in Joburg for less than an hour when Senzo was shot. It would be interesting to hear where he spent the night and why he didn’t attend the funeral.
According to Madlala’s account, two intruders raided the house, before a few punches were exchanged, followed by a gunshot and escapes into bedrooms.
“In a blink of an eye, Longwe Twala pushed the armed intruder and ran out of the house,” Madlala told the court.
“While Longwe was out, Kelly ran away into another room and hid there,” he added.
“While I got up, I saw another guy in the kitchen (second intruder), and Senzo was holding his arm, pressing him against the wall.
“My intention was to get out of the house, and when I was there (with Senzo), I also punched the intruder on the left side of his face, and a shot was fired.
“I then ran away to a bedroom to take refuge there, there were a lot of clothes on the bed, and I hid my phone there.
“I also looked around trying to find a window so I could escape, however, I could not as they had burglar bars,” added Madlala.
Madlala is set to continue his testimony today.
