CHICCO TWALA CONFIRMS HE VISITED SENZO METIWA’S FAMILY
Chicco Twala is the father of Longwe Twala — one of the witnesses who is now implicated and accussed of pulling the trigger on the night Senzo Meyiwa was shot and killed.
The soccer player was murdered on 26 October 2014 at the home of his then-girlfriend Kelly Khumalo in Vosloorus, Gauteng.

According to the SABC journalist on Twitter, Chicco Twala said he spoke to Meyiwa’s mother on Saturday during his visit.
When asked what was the reason for his visit, Chicco Twala said: “I went to offer my support”
He added: “Whoever is found guilty, law must take its course.”
Lewis also spoke to the late Orlando Pirates soccer player’s cousin, Nomalanga, who confirmed Chicco Twala’s visit.
“She didn’t want to go into the contents of discussions,” Lewis reported.
LONGWE TWALA ‘PULLED THE TRIGGER’
On Monday, when the Meyiwa murder trial resumed, the court heard a statement by Tumelo Madlala in which he alleged that Longwe Twala is the one who killed Senzo Meyiwa.
According to Sunday World, the bombshell was dropped by the defence counsel for accused number one to four, Timothy Thobane.
The statement reads: “I was for the first time to see Longwe Twala, and I did not tell anyone or the Meyiwa family that Senzo was killed by Longwe Twala because he did not have a firearm with him, instead he ran away [sic].”
However, when questioned about his statement, Madlala claimed that he did not write it but a police officer did. This despite having agreed before giving his response that indeed he signed and approved all his statements.
