Afro-pop musician Kelly Khumalo’s sister Zandile Khumalo-Gumede has weighed in on advocate Malesela Teffo’s withdrawal from the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial.
Teffo dropped the bombshell on Tuesday afternoon when he told the court that he was quitting as counsel for four of the five men accused of the murder of former Bafana Bafana captain.
He told the courtroom that he had been harassed by the police and the National Prosecuting Authority, and had been told that he should not be a part of the murder case.
Earlier in the day, Teffo abandoned his application to challenge the jurisdiction of the Pretoria High Court to hear the murder trial.
Meyiwa was gunned down while visiting the home of his girlfriend and baby-mama Kelly in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg on October 26 2014 in what was widely believed to have been a robbery gone terribly wrong.
Zandile took to her social media platform to share how disappointed she is with the latest turn of events and how some people entrusted with the case have turned it into a circus.
“It really pains me that this case doesn’t look like it will be solved anytime soon because South Africa believes opportunists and populists like this one [Teffo],” she wrote.
“It pains me because it means the Meyiwa family will never get justice. It pains me because it means my family will forever live under this dark cloud.”
She accused Teffo of chasing clout and wanting fame for claiming that an eyewitness would testify that Kelly was the one who pulled the trigger. She also questioned why they [the people who were in the house on the night of the murder] had not been called to testify.
