The heaviest fighting is currently ongoing in the city of Severodonetsk, which is now largely under Russia control. Capturing it entirely would put Putin’s forces on the cusp of taking Luhansk province - one of his key war aims.

JOHANNESBURG - Singer Kelly Khumalo’s lawyer Magdalene Moonsamy says her client feels prejudiced.

This follows defence lawyer advocate Malesala Teffo’s statement in the High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday that the defence team would produce a witness who would testify that Khumalo mistakenly shot her then boyfriend trigger and killed the Bafana Bafana captain.

Reactions

Khumalo’s lawyer Magdalene Moonsamy describes the singer’s reaction after hearing the allegations.

“At first I didn’t want to call her as she was upset. When we spoke, her reaction was I am and Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa.

Advocate Teffo represents four of the five men accused for Meyiwa’s murder.

Moonsamy told the media in Pretoria that her client wanted her day in court.

“There’s prejudice, there’s discrimination as an attorney and an officer of a court. I’ve said this previously that my client is not a suspect, there a mother. My child was three months. How dare he.

“What do they want from me. It started with claims of intimidation. She then said we are going to now break the silence.

“She’s confident. Kelly is a person of high spirits you don’t get to that level without character development and building.”

was a time Advocate Baloyi indicated to me that she may not even be called as witness, subsequently few weeks later we were informed that she would be a witness and I thought that this would open a can of worms. The thing that we’ve been saying clearly and consistently is that and this is what she said to me yesterday as well that I want my day in court.”

Nthambelani has reiterated that for now, Khumalo is innocent until proven guilty.
