Strydom confirmed with Times LIVE that a suspect has appeared this afternoon at the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court.
He was quoted, “That’s all I can say at the moment other than to add that the suspect in question has applied for legal assistance and the matter has been postponed to November 11.”
Meyiwa was shot dead at the house of his pop-star and actress girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, and will be laid to rest at Heroes Acre at the Chesterville cemetery in Durban on Saturday.
