Kelly’s younger sister, Zandile, their mother Ntombi Gladness Khumalo, Longwe Twala, and another of Meyiwa’s friends Tumelo Madlala, were present in the house. Thwala: “As I have said already, the first [shot] went off when I was inside and I might have heard the second one when I was outside. When a statement is taken, you only remember certain things and others you might be able to remember at a later stage.”Nxumalo then turned to Zandile’s evidence, in which she stated that one shot went off when she was in the kitchen, while two other shots went off when she was in the bathroom.

I really don’t know,” replied Thwala.READ MORE: Thwala: “The reason she gave me was that she will wait for Senzo’s father and brother to arrive in Mulbarton.
