South African Police Minister Bheki Cele on Monday announced the arrests of five suspects in the murder of football icon Senzo Meyiwa, a case that shocked the nation six years ago. “I’m happy to announce that there has been a breakthrough in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case,” Cele said. After gathering sufficient intelligence, information and evidence, police arrested the suspects this morning in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, he said. These arrests are as a result of a multi-disciplinary integrated approach to this investigation, in close cooperation with the Directorate for Public Prosecution, Cele said.
“The South African Police Service and the prosecution team are confident that we have a watertight case against all five suspects.
