The 69-year-old has spoken out about the recent arrests made by SAPS in the controversial murder case.
South African Football Association (Safa) President Dr. Danny Jordaan spoke about the Senzo Meyiwa murder case after an update from the South African Police Service (SAPS).
The former Orlando Pirates goalie was murdered six years ago and his murder has left many asking questions about the mysterious case.
Meyiwa passed away two weeks after playing a pivotal role in helping the Bafana Bafana qualify for the 2015 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) final.
Jordaan reflected on the Umlazi-born shooting stopper murder when he spoke at the unveiling of Meyiwa’s tombstone in Durban on Tuesday.

“We celebrate the joy of qualifying for the African Cup of Nations with Senzo keeping a clean sheet. The joy turned to shock and disbelief, ”Jordaan said.
“We asked the question why, what happened, and six years later we still wonder why.”
Meyiwa, who was assassinated at the age of 27, captained Bafana in the last four matches he played during the 2015 Afcon qualifiers.
Unfortunately, the former South African U-23 international was unable to play the finals in Equatorial Guinea, where Bafana failed to reach the round of 16.
Last month, Police Minister Bheki Cele announced that they have a strong case against the five suspects, who were arrested six years after Meyiwa’s murder.
However, Jordaan has made a curious comment about the possible ones.
“They told us about the robbers, the other day they introduced the robbers, only to find out that they are men in jail,” added the experienced soccer administrator.
“If you are a thief, they catch you and say that here are the thieves, but those were men in prison. So until today, we don’t know.”
The case was postponed until November 27 after the appearance of the five suspects in the Boksburg trial court in East Rand, Gauteng, on October 27.
