Senzo Meyiwa Case: Lead investigator back in hot seat

Brigadier Bongani Gininda, the lead investigator in the high-profile case, resumed testimony in the Gauteng High Court following a tense period of delays and legal wrangling.

The trial, which has captivated the nation for years, centres on the 2014 murder of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa, who was gunned down at the Vosloorus home of his girlfriend, singer Kelly Khumalo. In yesterday's proceedings, defence counsel pressed Gininda on various aspects of the police investigation, including inconsistencies in witness statements and the alleged suppression of key evidence.
