The Friends of Senzo Meyiwa picketed at the Union Buildings, calling on the President Cyril Ramaphosa to intervene in the murder case of the soccer star killed in 2014.
Protesters under the banner of Friends of Senzo Meyiwa gathered outside the Union Buildings on Tuesday, demanding that President Cyril Ramaphosa put pressure on law-enforcement agencies to prioritise the prosecution and investigation into the 2014 murder of the soccer player.
They specifically called on Ramaphosa to ensure that the SAPS, Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), and the National Prosecuting Authority speed up the investigation into the five people present when Meyiwa was shot at his singer girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s family home in Vosloorus.
Their spokesperson, Herbert Maphumulo, said the demonstration's purpose was to hand over a memorandum of demands because they are tired of the State’s alleged cover-up of the murder case.
He said two cases have been opened against the prosecutor and the investigating officer for allegedly fabricating evidence in Meyiwa’s murder.
