As Mthokozisi Thwala, a friend of former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, is expected to continue giving testimony under cross-examination on Wednesday, one of the big questions expected to come up today is “Who moved Meyiwa after he was shot?”

Before the months-long adjournment last year, Meyiwa’s friend, Tumelo Madlala, who was the first person present in the house on the night the former Bafana Bafana star was shot and killed, told the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria that he found Meyiwa on the right side of the sitting room where there were blood splatters. He told the court this was when he emerged from the bedroom wherein he had run after a shot had gone off during the commotion in the kitchen.

When Madlala came out of the bedroom, he told the court that he found Kelly, Zandi, Gladness, Mthokozisi Thwala and Kelly’s child, with Meyiwa lying on the floor with a bullet wound. He says it was at this time he noticed that the alleged second intruder was chasing after him out of the house and the yard.Thwala: I can’t really say, because even when I went next door, he followed me a little bit.

According to Thwala, the only thing he did when he got to Meyiwa was to lift up his t-shirt and note the bullet wound on his chest and realised at that time that he had been shot. “We then drove to Botshelong, I think that’s the name of the hospital, which was not far from Kelly’s home. We were all saying things to Senzo and I was telling him to think of his kids. I could see that his gasping was going down. There was a moment he held my hand and I could see it was going down,” says Thwala.
