Meyiwa wants to know Senzo’s killer
"I want to know who killed Senzo. That's all I want from Kelly," said Senzo Meyiwa’s father was quoted to have said.
According to a report by the Sunday World over the weekend, Meyiwa, who allegedly fled his house in Umlazi, Durban, after receiving death threats, had continuously been briefed by police about the developments of the case, including the identity of the footballer’s suspected killers.
It is believed that Meyiwa made the plea came two weeks after Sunday World reported that Khumalo, who has a child with the late Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain, had rolled up her sleeves to fight for his insurance millions.
The slain soccer star’s family was set to receive R5-million from a life insurance policy taken out by his club and administered by DelphiSure Group Insurance Brokers Cape.
Meyiwa’s statement also came soon after media reports that the insurers had delayed payment because one of the beneficiaries was allegedly a suspect in the murder case.
“Kelly must stop thinking she can do as she pleases because she’s in a big city,” he said. “[She] should be quiet like Senzo’s other girlfriends. She does not respect the family. She’s not even our makoti. It’s Mandisa’s place to do all the talking, not Kelly,” he was quoted to have said.
Meyiwa said he was tired of fighting for the deceased player’s millions and only wanted peace.
National police spokesman Solomon Makgale said they believed someone fed Meyiwa’s father wrong information when he enquired about the insurance money.
Makgale was quoted to have said, “They are telling him insurance money cannot be paid out because one of the beneficiaries is considered a suspect, and that money will only be paid out once the investigation has been concluded.
“It’s unclear to us how such conclusions were arrived at because from a murder investigation perspective, there’s no reason the insurance money cannot be paid out.
“All insurance companies have a form which they bring to us that takes a couple of minutes to fill in.”
He added that the police were unable to conclude who the suspect was because their investigations were still under way.
