The spokesman for the National Tax Authority, Lumka Mahanjana, said SowetanLIVE’s sister post TimesLIVE that a decision had not yet been made on whether to process or not.

“Yes, I can confirm that the files in the Senzo Meyiwa case were received in late August 2020 and the NPA is currently finalizing the decision,” Mahanjana said.

Speaking to TimesLIVE on Tuesday, Meyiwa’s brother Sifiso said that despite receiving regular updates from the police, they were not aware of the reported developments in the case.

“They [police] He last updated us a week ago, but I can’t go into details because they said it could jeopardize the case. They have never mentioned anything about the discovery of a weapon, “said Sifiso.

Last year, the family enlisted AfriForum’s help in getting to the bottom of Meyiwa’s murder.

“They are working on the case, but they say there is nothing we can disclose at this time,” Sifiso said.

Meyiwa was shot dead in what was described as a botched robbery in Volsoorus, east of Johannesburg, in the presence of his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo, his mother Ntombi, his sister Zandi, Zandi’s boyfriend Longwe Twala, his friends Mthokozisi Twala and Tumelo Madlala, and their son, who was four years old at the time.

National police spokesman Vish Naidoo said the police would communicate once there was a breakthrough in the case.
