Whispers have intensified around the puzzling demise of yet another witness in the murder trial of Senzo Meyiwa. Lesley Ngcatshe, a neighbor of the family home owned by Meyiwa’s girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, was expected to provide evidence of the events that occurred on the night Meyiwa died. Five individuals stand accused of the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper’s murder, who was fatally shot on 26 October 2014.
The murder case of former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa has been a highly publicized and complex affair. Singer Kelly Khumalo’s lawyer, Magdalene Moonsamy, recently withdrew as her legal representative, adding another twist to the ongoing trial at the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
South African Olympic silver medallist Tatjana Schoenmaker has won the women’s 100m breaststroke event at the SA National Aquatic Championships in Gqeberha. Schoenmaker beat Commonwealth Games champion Lara van Niekerk to win the national title and equaled the secondfastest time in the world this year with a time of 1:05.89. Although the race was not about winning titles for Schoenmaker, it was more about the personal goals she set for herself. She was relieved to break the 1minute 6second barrier again after winning a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 1:04.8.
