Kelly Khumalo 'received two phone calls' from accused, Meyiwa trial hears
The fourth witness in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Colonel Lambertus Steyn, told the High Court in Pretoria that songstress Kelly Khumalo received two phone calls from suspect number five.
Sfisokuhle Ntuli is accused number five in the high-profile murder trial and is represented by Advocate Zandile Mshololo.
Lambertus Steyn, who has 41 years of experience in the South African Police Services’ Cold Case Unit, was roped into the case to analyse the cell phone data of the people who were present when Meyiwa was shot and killed in 2014.
However, he could not download Kelly' Khumalo’s data because her phone had allegedly been stolen by one of the two intruders.
Steyn told the court on Thursday that Meyiwa’s then-girlfriend received a phone call from Ntuli on 2 August 2014.

The second phone came a week before Meyiwa's passing on 15 October 2014.
"And you say that the second party is?" questioned state prosecutor Adv George Baloyi.
"The other party is suspect number five. She received the call while she was in the 3G Kimberely vicinity."
The state will continue leading Steyn in his evidence on Friday, while the defence is expected to cross-examine him.
