Media conference just started. @afriforum will keep on fighting for justice for all. Follow the conference on AfriForum's Facebook page. #senzomeyiwa #justice

.@afriforum, who represents the Meyiwa family in the investigation of the murder of the former Bafana Bafana captain, also highlighted the fact that the SAPS was willing to involve Adv. Gerrie Nel & AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit in their investigation. #SenzoMeyiwa

Adv. Nel: AfriForum’s involvement in this case has amongst others, contributed to the moving of the case from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Johannesburg to the DPP Pretoria, which meant that focus could be placed on key elements of the case.#SenzoMeyiwa

Adv Nel: The Private Prosecution Unit also expressed their dismay at the composition of the SAPS investigative team to police management and after some changes were made to the team, the investigation was able to progress. #SenzoMeyiwa

“We now know it wasn’t a robbery went wrong, but in fact an assassination. The challenge now is to bring the mastermind behind the murder to justice,” says Adv. Nel.

“The arrest of the suspects is the first step in the process to ensure justice is served, and AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit will continue to assist the Meyiwa family in the case,” says @kalliekriel. #AfriForum #SenzoMeyiwa

.@kalliekriel: The constructive cooperation between the SAPS and AfriForum in this case is also an example of what can be achieved when the SAPS and civil society work together in the battle against crime.

Sifiso Meyiwa: Although we are grateful that the arrests were made, we remain anxious that the mastermind was not arrested. In the view of the established cooperation between our legal team from AfriForum & the SAPS, we remain hopeful that more arrests will follow.📸Reint Dykema
