BREAKING NEWS: DRAMA IN SENZO MEYIWA MURDER TRIAL AS JUDGE REFUSES TO FIRE COURT INTERPRETER

MDNtv — Thu, 21 May 2026 18:33:44 +0000

Chaos erupted in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial after the accused persons demanded that senior court interpreter Mr Jonas be removed from the case.

In a dramatic moment inside the court, the judge made it clear that he does not have the authority to simply “fire” the interpreter unless there is evidence of contempt of court or misconduct.

The judge stated:

“It has never happened in South Africa… where litigants are unhappy about the conduct of a fellow employee.”

He further stressed that the interpreter also has constitutional rights and labour protections, saying:

“He’s got human rights… he’s a member of a union.”

The court has now been adjourned until tomorrow while the judge consults the Chief Justice for direction on the unprecedented dispute.

“He Never Told Me That!” — General’s Bombshell Testimony Shocks Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial

MDN tv — Wed, 20 May 2026 11:05:51 +0000

Johannesburg, 20 May 2026 — A senior police General dropped major contradictions in the long-running Senzo Meyiwa murder trial on Tuesday, repeatedly telling the court that a key state witness never shared crucial details with him during the investigation.

Testifying as a defence witness, General Leshabane dismantled large parts of Constable Zulu’s evidence regarding events at Basotho Hostel on 26 October 2014, the day Senzo Meyiwa was killed.

Key Bombshell Moments

When taken through Constable Zulu’s claims one by one, General Leshabane answered “No, my Lord. He never told me that” to almost every major allegation, including:

That Zulu was personally present at the Basotho Hostel that day
Seeing the five accused drinking, eating meat, and celebrating
Observing the accused persons handling firearms (.38 revolver and 9mm pistol)
The alleged announcement by one of the accused: “Senzo Meyiwa is no more.”
Details about clothing changes and handing over guns

The General also testified that Constable Zulu refused to provide contact details for verification and refused to make a formal statement at the time.

Allegations of Pressure and Warnings

General Leshabane revealed he had warned prosecutors early on that Zulu’s information was mostly hearsay. He described tense consultations where he felt pressured and claimed he even raised concerns with senior police officials about the handling of the witness.

The testimony led to heated objections from the State, with defence lawyers arguing that the full conduct of the investigation must be scrutinised.

Background

Senzo Meyiwa, the beloved Orlando Pirates goalkeeper and Bafana Bafana captain, was shot and killed during a home invasion in Vosloorus on 26 October 2014. Five men have been on trial for over a decade in one of South Africa’s most high-profile cases.

The defence has consistently challenged the reliability of key witnesses and the police investigation.

These are claims and testimony presented in open court. All five accused maintain their innocence and are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The trial continues.
