The sudden silence by investigators and sources in the Senzo Meyiwa murder investigation is deafening.
|||Johannesburg - The sudden silence by investigators and sources in the Senzo Meyiwa murder investigation is deafening and unusual.
The Sunday Independent has this past week tried several times to engage sources within the team of investigators, but all of them have been responding in hushed tones that: “I’m in a meeting. I will call you back.”
None of them, including the Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, could be reached for an explanation.
Attempts on Saturday to alternatively get comment from national police spokesperson, Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo, was also not successful.
“I have no idea. Brigadier Mulaudzi is the person to talk to,” Naidoo said.
Strangely, even Meyiwa’s publicity-loving father, Sam Meyiwa, could not be reached.
His conspicuous absence comes two weeks after the late Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain’s life insurance policy pay-out was announced.
Meyiwa was killed on the night of October 26, 2014 at his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s mother’s house in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg.
Police are still appealing for the public to come forward with any information they might have.
Anyone with information that leads to the arrest of the perpetrator(s) can contact Crime Stop at 08600 10111 or SMS Crime Line at 32211.
There is a R250 000 reward.
