Johannesburg - The recent reconstruction of the crime scene at the house in Vosloorus where former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain Senzo Meyiwa was killed more than a year ago seems to have been a brilliant idea because a source within the investigation says a breakthrough is finally imminent.

“The exercise paid off as we got new leads. We’ve got two suspects under the spotlight, and a breakthrough is finally imminent,” said the source, who was reluctant to give more information.
But a seemingly annoyed Hawks spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi was reluctant to comment about the “imminent breakthrough”.
“We are extremely happy with the process that took place last week. But this is an ongoing investigation and we will appreciate it if you could just be a bit patient. We will make an announcement when the time is ripe,” he said.

Last Sunday, the Hawks and their team of experts who specialise in unsolved crimes descended on the house where they met Meyiwa’s lover and mother of his child, pop star Kelly Khumalo, her sister Zandi and a few others who were in the house the night he was killed. Meyiwa was shot on October 26 at Khumalo’s mother’s house.
In the house at the time were Khumalo, her mother Ntombi, Zandi and her boyfriend Longwe Twala, who is musician Chicco’s son. Two of Senzo’s friends were also there, as well as Khumalo’s son.
