Durban – The family of former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa expects the “big shot” behind the murder to be caught soon.
The family revealed this after five people appeared in Boksburg Magistrates Court on Tuesday for the murder on October 26, 2014.
The five suspects, Muzikawulahlela Sibiya, Bongani Ntanzi, Mthobisi Mncube, Mthokosenzi Maphisa and SifikuhlenhleNkani Ntuli, have been charged with murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravated circumstances, illegal possession of firearm and illegal possession of ammunition.
They were arrested on the sixth anniversary of Meyiwa’s death.
The morning the five men appeared in court, the family sat in the living room of their home in section K of uMlazi, Durban, watching the court proceedings on television.
Meyiwa’s mother, Ntombifuthi, Uncle Siyabonga and other relatives said their hope had been restored when they saw the men in court.
Initially, the family was confused by the men’s refusal to stand on the dock, followed by confusing statements.
The news that the five were denied bail was welcome and that there would be more arrests.
Siyabonga said there were wealthy “Big Fish” who had not been arrested and he hoped they would soon face justice.
“As a family, we see that there is more to this. That is why we asked AfriForum to help us. We saw that money was being used but there was no progress in the investigations, “he said.
The family reached out to AfriForum to help so that there could be arrests, Siyabonga said.
Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, on October 26.
He was at the home of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, at the time of the shooting.
