Kelly Khumalo’s attorney, Magdalene Moonsamy has responded to advocate Malesela Teffo, who told the High Court in Pretoria that a witness will tell the court that Kelly shot her boyfriend Senzo Robert Meyiwa by mistake in October 2014.
Her said the allegations made by Teffo, while cross-examining veteran police forensic expert Sergeant Thabo Mosia, amount to intimidation and character assassination.
“We are absolutely making formal submissions, this (is) intimidation that has been ongoing against myself and my client and (it is also) public persecution. We need to know which eyewitness is that?”
“We know that criminal law is based on evidence that must be tested. The way we understand what is unfolding in court, the biggest curiosity that posts itself is the intimidation of the defence for the accused, and how that then results in circumstances where we cannot be represented.”
The attorney insisted her client, Kelly Khumalo has been “prejudiced publicly”.
