JOHANNESBURG – An internal document released by the National Tax Authority (NPA) to reporters who were in court on Tuesday revealed details regarding the five suspects arrested for the murder of soccer player Senzo Meyiwa.
Meyiwa was killed in 2014 while visiting the home of his girlfriend, singer Kelly Khumalo, in Vosloorus.
The document citing Khumalo was posted on the police media group, but its removal was later requested. In the indictment issued by the NPA, Khumalo’s name appears on the death of her son’s father.
Some of the details of the investigative document included allegations by a defendant, which are consistent with the facts of the case.
Additionally, the NPA wanted an explanation as to why EMPD officials transported the five accused suspects for confession and not to the South African Police Service.
The charge sheet also reveals that defendant number five contacted Khumalo by telephone and that it was mentioned that there was a lender who gave Khumalo money to “apparently pay hitmen and that this lender was pestering her about the payment of this loan.” .
