The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial took a dramatic turn on Wednesday as music mogul Chicco Twala vehemently denied allegations made against his son, Longwe, by the defence lawyer.

Chicco, known for his fiery personality, addressed the claims head-on, stating that there was no sign of a gunshot injury on Longwe's foot on the night of the soccer star's death in 2014.

This directly contradicted the allegations made earlier in the day by Advocate Thulani Mngomezulu, the lawyer for accused number one, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya.

Mngomezulu, during the cross-examination of state witness and ballistic expert, Lieutenant Colonel Christian Mangena, revealed his intention to call a witness who would testify that Longwe allegedly shot himself in the foot during a scuffle with Meyiwa.

Longwe Twala identified as suspected shooter in Senzo Meyiwa murder case.

"Who on Earth can shoot himself with a gun and walk normally without limping?" Chicco questioned, his voice laced with frustration.

"My son is human. He’s not Superman. I was personally in hospital with my son and all seven people who were in the house when Senzo was lying on his hospital bed."

Chicco further pointed out that the media and those present at the hospital would have been the first to notice any injury and limping on Longwe's part.
