Meyiwa 10-year anniversary: 'Killers' days are numbered'

THE Meyiwa ancestors are fighting in their graves. This is according to sangoma Mkhulu Solly Mathebula.

The Mamelodi-based sangoma shared his spiritual views on the killing of Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

Meyiwa was killed while visiting his then-girlfriend popular singer Kelly Khumalo at her home in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, on the evening of 26 October 2014.

He was in the presence of Kelly, her sister Zandile Gumede, their mum Gladness Khumalo, Zandile's then-boyfriend Longwe Twala, and Meyiwa's close friends Tumelo Madlala and Mthokozisi Twala, along with two minors.

Five men were arrested for his murder and are now on trial, which has been ongoing since 2022.

Speaking to Daily Sun, sangoma Mathebula said the case is a mess because the real killer is outside.

He further said the matter will drag on because the person who killed Meyiwa is refusing to confess.

"The Meyiwa, including Senzo, are not resting. They're fighting for justice and those responsible for his death. Their days are already numbered if they don't confess. I can see they are suffering in their lives. Nothing is going well for them," he said.

Sangoma Mtathebula said that he doesn't see the trial ending soon, and even when it does, it will not produce the results people are expecting.

He said that soon the real perpetrator would be known, but they wouldn't be arrested, as this is how Meyiwa's ancestors wanted it to be so they could deal with them.

"She won't admit it, but her sins have caught up with her, including the two gentlemen that I see were helping her."

The traditional healer urged Meyiwa's girlfriend at the time to tell the truth about what happened that night or risk losing everything.

Apostle and Prophet Bheki Thwala from Eswatini said that, although he doesn't want to delve deeper into the merits of the case, he does see that everyone who had a hand in Meyiwa's killing is suffering.

"Killing a person is not an easy thing to do. Life will not be the same, especially if they refuse to confess their sins. They may not be arrested physically, but spiritually, they're in prison. The spirit of the person they have killed will not let them be at peace," he said.
