Johannesburg - Another year is coming to an end, yet the killers of slain Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana skipper are still at large.
Senzo’s father, Sam Meyiwa, has lost hope in police investigators ever being able to bring the perpetrators to book.
Without a promise of or progress in the investigation of his son’s murder, the family had no hope that the new year would bring about any breakthrough in the case.
“This year I can say the police have not been doing their job. It looks like they are no longer interested in bringing the killer(s) of my son to book.
“I had to approach the public protector because it has been a very long time since my son was killed but there is no progress and the police are not updating me on their investigation,” said Meyiwa.
Earlier this year, the family's hopes were raised after an initial lull in the case when police revisited the murder scene in Vosloorus and called all witnesses who were in Kelly Khumalo’s family home that fateful night.
From this, the police identified a panama hat they said had been found. It was reported the owner of the hat could shed light on what happened that day, raising further hopes that the murder would finally be resolved.
“We were hopeful that these senseless killer(s) will be caught during this exercise but nothing came of it and since then it has been very quiet,” he added.
Meyiwa was shot on October 26, 2014 at his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s home in Ekurhuleni.
The police have declined to comment on the progress of their investigation into Meyiwa’s death.
