The trial into the murder of Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates skipper Senzo Meyiwa resumed on Monday after nearly six months with prosecutor George Baloyi calling the slain goalkeeper’s close friend Mthokozisi Thwala to the stand
Gallo/ OJ Koloti. Thwala painted a picture of the iconic footballer, which described Meyiwa as an alpha male, a trait he relied on for recreational activities.
He played for London Cosmos and I played for Brazil FC but we got closer when he proposed to Mandisa Mkhize, who was my friend… My father was also a professional footballer so young players came to him for advice.The much-anticipated trial is taking place at the Pretoria High Court with five suspects charged with the murder of the soccer star.
He explained the events between them often took a spontaneous turn whenever Meyiwa asked him to accompany him to a party.He asked me to come with him to Rooi Mahamutsa’s party, but we ended up not going and instead went to where Kelly Khumalo was performing in Soweto. The lawyer said he got instruction from Mncube that what was previously indicated about a gun involving singer Kelly Khumalo was not the evidence Mncube gave to his previous legal counsel, Timothy Thobane. Thobane’s services for accused number one and two were terminated in November, prompting the long postponement.
