Senzo Meyiwa‘s brother Sifiso Meyiwa claims he is receiving threats from the police, that might result in him being arrested, as he continues to publicly campaign that the killers of his brother should be jailed.
Sifiso is one of the Meyiwa’s family members, who won’t rest until justice is served in the murderer of his late brother. Eight years later into the murder of the former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Senzo’s killers have not been sentenced, and every time new information emerges regarding the case.
The five men accused of orchestrating his murder are currently behind bars, and all five claim to be innocent. They say they are being used as scapegoats to protect the real mastermind behind the murder of Meyiwa.
There’s a video that is currently trending on social media, Sifiso alleges that the investigating officers handling Meyiwa’s murder case are threatening him. He says he may be probed for corruption, and this is to prevent him from continuing with his investigation.
Here is what he says about the police who’s investigating Senzo Meyiwa’s murder: “I just want the nation to know that these people who are investigating my brother’s case, one of them called me on 29 March.
“She said she wants to have an investigation with me because there is an investigation against me on allegations of corruption. Now I’m waiting for them to come and charge me.
“They are trying to threaten me because of something I discovered in the case. They don’t know that the word ‘threaten’ does not exist in my world. Because I am an ambassador of the kingdom of God. I am walking with God.
“They are afraid of what is going to happen in court, they are going to be embarrassed”.
