Five people have been arrested in connection with the murder of Bafana goalkeeper Bafana Senzo Meyiwa in 2014, Police Minister Bheki Cele announced on Monday.
Cele said the arrests were made between 08:00 and 10:00.
The minister was briefing the nation together with the commissioner of the national police, General Khehla Sitole.
Cele said the arrests were made in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
“The SAPS and the NPA are confident that we have a firm case against the five suspects. At this time we are unable to release further information as investigations are still ongoing and further arrests cannot be ruled out,” Cele said.
