Senzo Meyiwa’s father receiving death threats – report

Senzo was killed in an alleged robbery at his then girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s home in Vosloorus in October 2014.

Media reports over the weekend claim the police are close to making arrests.

Sam says instead of getting updates on the investigation into his son’s murder, he is now receiving death threats himself.

“It’s been four years investigating one case, and no one has been arrested. Instead, I’m getting death threats that they want to kill me because I’m the one making noise, and when I’m dead it will be quiet. But I can’t keep quiet,” Sam told eNCA.

“I saw on social media that there’s apparently someone who was there where Senzo was murdered, who talks about what happened on the day. But they don’t want to come out. Even the one who pulled the trigger is known,” added Sam.

Meyiwa says that his attempts at claiming Senzo’s pension savings have not yielded results.

“This is a disgrace. The captain of the national team! What is it that Senzo has done to be forgotten like this? They neglect him because he is no more. They only needed him because he was alive, so it basically means they only cared for living players. Once you die, you’re forgotten,” concluded Sam.
