Johannesburg - Police have released identikits of the two men believed to be behind the killing of Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain and goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.
Meyiwa was shot dead while visiting his on-off-again girlfriend, songbird Kelly Khumalo, at her home in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, on Sunday night. His killers then fled with a cellphone.
National police commissioner Riah Phiyega announced on Monday that she had set up a multi-disciplinary task team made up of forensic, crime intelligence, and visible policing members to handle the murder case.
A reward of up R250 000 was being offered for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the killers.
Crime intelligence is looking for the cellphone stolen from the house.
