“We see it as a privilege to be involved in the investigation into the death of an icon in our country.”
Kriel said the organisation took on the case after being requested to do so by the Meyiwa family after five years of unanswered questions about who killed the soccer player. The lobby group said its investigators had since jumped on to the case.
“We believe Senzo deserves justice and we want to do it because it is the right thing to do. Senzo and the Meyiwa family deserve justice. The family deserves to find closure.”It said it would start by listening to telephone recordings between the Meyiwa family and relevant role players.“We also frown upon the fact that a senior member of the National Prosecuting Authority told the family that witnesses lied. If witnesses lied, we expect the NPA to act against those people,” said Kriel.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper was gunned down in the presence of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo; her mother, Ntombi; sister Zandi; Zandi’s boyfriend, Longwe Twala; his friends Mthokozisi Twala and Tumelo Madlala; and their son, who was four years old when his father died.One man was arrested shortly after Meyiwa’s killing, and the pronounced victory in the case. The suspect, was however, later released and has since slapped the police ministry with a law suit for wrongful arrest.
