Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli are all on trial for Senzo Meyiwa’s murder. At the Pretoria high court on Wednesday, two men accused of killing the late soccer star implicated Kelly Khumalo as the mastermind behind Meyiwa’s assassination, TshisaLIVE reported.

Meyiwa was shot dead at Khumalo’s mother’s home in Vosloorus in October 2014. Kelly’s mother Ntombi Khumalo, two of Meyiwa’s friends, Zandile Khumalo-Gumede, and her boyfriend Longwe Twala were all present when the soccer star died.

Following the recent bombshell that was heard in court yesterday, Zandile dedicated a post to Kelly and stood in solidarity with her.

“I will stand with you forever because I know your heart and I know Senzo is standing with you wherever he is. You know we are lions [and] we don’t worry about sheep’s opinions,” Zandile penned.

“To those that have been DMing and texting asking if she’s ok: ‘Like all of us she wants the perpetrators to be brought to book and they will be,” she added.
