There will be no update on the shooting of soccer player Senzo Meyiwa until national police commissioner Riah Phiyega briefs media later on Monday, Gauteng police said.

“At 12 o’clock [noon], the national commissioner will address the media,” Brigadier Neville Malila said.

“There is nothing further to say until then.”

The 27-year-old Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper and captain was shot dead at about 8pm in Vosloorus on Sunday.

Malila could not confirm earlier whether Meyiwa was at his girlfriend, singer and actress Kelly Khumalo’s home.

He was reportedly shot while protecting her.

No arrests had yet been made and police were investigating a case of murder.

Earlier on Monday, police offered a R150,000 reward for information that could lead to the arrest of the killers.
