BOKSBURG – AfriForum said on Tuesday it was concerned about the apparent lack of communication between the National Tax Authority (NPA) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the murder case of Senzo Meyiwa.

Five men appeared before the Boksburg Magistrates Court in connection with the footballer’s murder.

Four of the men rejected legal representation, saying they just wanted the truth to be known.

AfriForum has been investigated Meyiwa’s murder together with the NPA.

The organization’s attorney, Gerrie Nel, said the NPA had informed him prior to this appearance and said he was concerned about what he had heard in court.

He said there appeared to be inconsistencies in the NPA case and the police investigation.

“I already indicated yesterday [Monday] that I will not disclose all the information that was transmitted to me. But what I can say is that I am in exactly the same position with the same understanding on this case as yesterday. I am concerned about the accusation that was read today, ”said Nel.

The matter was postponed to the end of next November.
