Zandie Khumalo believes that the people who killed soccer star Senzo Meyiwa ten years ago had come for her sister, Afro-pop singer Kelly Khumalo. Zandie spoke about the fateful night on the Gagasi FM Fast Lane show yesterday. Meyiwa was shot dead in a botched robbery at Kelly's home in Vosloorus in October 2014.

THEY WANTED KELLY
The Ngiya'kuthanda hitmaker detailed the events of that fateful night. During the interview on the KwaZulu Natal-based radio station, Zandie was adamant that the hitmen were sent to kill her sister. "Seeing that everyone has their theories around this matter, let me share mine. First, those guys are professional izinkabi (hitmen). If they were going to kill Senzo, they would have shot him the minute they walked into the house and then returned to shoot him to make sure he was dead," she said. She added that when Longwe Twala, who was inside the house at the time of the shooting, managed to push one of the alleged killers outside while Kelly ran into the bedroom, one of the guys followed Kelly, leaving Senzo, which proves to me that their target was Kelly, not Senzo," she added.
SHE ACCUSED SENZO'S WIDOW OF HIRING HITMEN
On Saturday, the 10th-year commemoration of the former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper's passing, eNCA had an exclusive interview with Zandie, where she questioned why the police did not do a thorough investigation on Senzo's widow, Mandisa Mkhize. "It has been discovered that the hitmen are from KwaNongoma. Mandisa is from KwaNongoma. They all have a pie in the taxi business," she said. She also said that she mentioned this to the lead investigator in Senzo Meyiwa's murder, Brigadier Bongani Gininda. "I don't know what he made out of it but the police need to find out how the suspects are paying for their legal counsel when they had ordinary jobs. They need to follow the money," she said.
Five men, who were arrested in 2020, are currently on trial in the matter at the Pretoria North High Court. The accused Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa, and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli are charged with premeditated murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, possession of firearms without a licence and possession of ammunition. They have all pleaded not guilty.
