Zandie Khumalo request to testify behind closed doors criticised
Kelly Khumalo’s sister Zandile Khumalo Gumede has drawn ire from the public on Twitter when she recently asked to testify behind closed doors during the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa trial.
The public personality and female witness reportedly requested that her testimony be recorded, either vocally or visually, out of fear of mockery, according to postings on Twitter. Additionally, she requested that her testimony not be streamed live.
According to the State, the witness is concerned for her safety since she occasionally gives performances in front of an audience, which could affect how the public perceives her.
The witness also voiced worries that her testimony would be questioned and that she would face social media reaction, which might make her feel uneasy and prevent her from continuing with her testimony.
However, if journalists are present in court, the witness has no problem with them writing about her evidence.
Zandile Khumalo Gumede’s request was dismissed by Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela, who is presiding over the Senzo Meyiwa trial, on the grounds that her justifications were weak.
