@Hoerang26 @MDNnewss It wasn't he drive a Ford ranger and his girlfriend drives a mini Cooper

@MDNnewss How so his car was present there.

Breaking news Sotheni Directly Addresses Court, Denies Murder Charges Matipandile Sotheni, the former Special Task Force member, directly addressed Brakpan Magistrate’s Court after his bail was postponed to 13 May, denying all charges in the murder of Marius van der Merwe, “Witness D” at the Madlanga Commission. He told the court, “The allegations that are leveled against me, I deny them fully. I dont know this lawyer, I have nothing to do with crime,” and added, “I’m ready with my statement. I’m ready to say what happened,” expressing frustration at the delays, saying, “My name is painted… for postponing this case, is delaying the matter.”

@MDNnewss The poor guy is being framed

Sotheni is not getting it there by brakpan court, he's saying he's accused of the crime that he didn't commit they tried to telling him to talk to his Lawyer but he was not having it, he wanted to talk for himself because he's saying the 14 May is far..... #MadlangaCommission

We must never get tired of defending the EFF and our President. In politics, nothing is coincidental. This sudden push by the media to weaponise the Madlanga Commission against the EFF is very deliberate and coordinated. We must never agree to take blame for a criminal network that has been created and sustained by ANC Officials in Government and SAPS. Let us all go back to General Mkhwanazi’s 6 July statement, which is the foundation of both the Madlanga Commission and the Ad Hoc. There is no mention of the EFF nor its leader. We must never be blackmailed into carrying the sins of others. The EFF is not on trial here. Like our Commander in Chief, we must refuse to be pushovers!

@Doobie_ZAR @uMaster_Sandz @SAPoliceService Exactly he's being framed

@uMaster_Sandz @SAPoliceService That's the implication he is making, but one needs to ask, how did the PKTT decide on him being the suspect. The security company that said he had taken a gun that week and are willing to assist in handing it over, why did they want to assist so badly.

So this could only mean that @SAPoliceService might have made a wrong arrest ? Is that what he’s saying ? 😭💔😓🙆🏽‍♂️

@VivoMamaAct @uMaster_Sandz @SAPoliceService As soon as I heard he was part of the arrest I knew for certain that this guy is being framed. You will wake up don't worry

@uMaster_Sandz @SAPoliceService If general Mkhwanazi was not part of the arrest , I would also had my doubts, but nehhhh

@athenkosi591 He's being framed

Reporter : Are you ok Mr Sotheni Mr Sotheni : no I'm not ok, my children I must take my children to school, I've got a lot to do, I have 3 children , I have not done this, it's not me. What about the children of Witness D mfanakithi, he's 6ft, at least your children will still see you, what about him prick 🤧🤧

“I have a lot to say” Matipandile tells Journalists before going down to the court cells. @Newzroom405

BREAKING: “I have nothing to do with this crime” Marius van der Merwe’s alleged murderer, Matiphandile Sotheni distances himself from the lawyer who appeared on his behalf and says he is ready to assist the court. @Newzroom405

@KgosiKevin I emailed madlanga and was dismissed and told I should forward what I know to the investigating officer

@juristicpilot 😲😲😲🙆🏾‍♂️ For our safety... We can leave this topic here... I hope we really get to hear his side of the story... And also I hope he will be safe there...

🤔🤔🤔🤔 To be honest it still doesn't make sense why would a special takes force member get involved in the inkabi business 🤔🤔🤔 I want to hear his side of the story 🤔

The EFF’s Statement on the Arrest of 12 Senior Police Officers in the R360 Million Medicare 24 Scandal -While the EFF welcomes these arrests as a necessary step towards accountability, we do so with caution. Our experience in South Africa has shown that high-profile arrests are often used to create the illusion of justice, only for cases to collapse due to weak prosecutions, political interference, or deliberate delays. We have seen time and again how individuals implicated in serious corruption evade meaningful consequences, returning to positions of influence while the public is left without justice.

@FusionistRSA @SABCNews Mkhwanazi himself is the one who arrested this guy. He is evil that guy. The poor guy is being framed

@SABCNews Mkhwanazi told you about Judiciary corruption at play here.. This man deserves fair trial

WATCH | The accused in the Marius van der Merwe (Witness D) murder case, Matipandile Sotheni, tells the court that he is innocent and is willing to assist the court.

@ZANewsFlash @NaleRunner This guy is being set up and the truth will come out

Another Thabo Bester.

@KgosiKevin I know him personally and we spoke briefly

@juristicpilot For real? I didn't know that part 😲

@KgosiKevin He does know something and he wanted to go to the commission but that was way before even witness D testified

@juristicpilot Either that or he knows something else which is why they have him behind bars 🤔

@SmSA1660 @destiny_ndlovu @CapitecBankSA @SADHomeAffairs Mogwetago

@juristicpilot @destiny_ndlovu @CapitecBankSA @SADHomeAffairs That's a stupid question

I must give credit where it is due,@CapitecBankSA and @SADHomeAffairs have outdone themselves... It took me less than 10min to apply for my first Smart ID card, this is including the waiting time in the queue. You have just simplified an onerous task that causes so much anxiety in people's lives.

They set him up😭😭
