Johannesburg – Tuesday marks exactly seven years since Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa was killed, and in absence of any convictions, many are worried that the mastermind behind his murder is still on the loose.
Meyiwa was shot dead at the house of his girlfriend singer Kelly Khumalo in Vosloorus in 2014.
It took six years for arrests to be made and five men charged with Meyiwa’s murder are expected to stand trial in April 2022.
Lobby group AfriForum, which has been assisting the family with investigations, is adamant that the instigator has not been arrested.
“If we cannot convince the State to add other people then certainly we should now concentrate on these five people and finalise the trial but I reiterate if we’re dealing with a contract killing, which we believe, and certainly you must have the mastermind charged with all the other suspects just to have success in the matter,” said Head of private prosecution, Gerrie Nel.
