A statement by State witness, Constable Sizwe Zungu, has revealed conversations he had with top police officers regarding what he witnessed at the Vosloorus hostel on the night Meyiwa was killed.
JOHANNESBURG - The Pretoria High Court has heard that controversial police officer, Major-General Shadrack Sibiya, was active in the Senzo Meyiwa investigation while he was fired from the Hawks.
Zungu claims to have seen all five of the men accused of murdering Meyiwa rushing to the Vosloorus hostel, armed, on the night of the murder. The Bafana Bafana captain was shot at the home of his girlfriend, singer Kelly Khumalo, in October 2014. "I'm not involved in the Senzo meyiwa investigation and I've never been involved. I don't know why my name is being dragged into this," Major-General Shadrack Sibiya said on 702 in 2018, denying any involvement in the Senzo Meyiwa investigation.In a statement, Zungu claimed that Sibiya attended meetings on the invitation of senior police officer, General Vincent Leshabane, in 2019, where Meyiwa’s alleged killers were discussed.
