Durban - The Hawks on Sunday dismissed suggestions of an imminent arrest in the case of murdered Bafana Bafana goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa.

“Our main client is the deceased’s family, and if there are any developments, they are the first to know, and then the information is relayed to the media,” said Hawks spokesman, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi.

He was commenting in response to a media report in the Daily News’s sister publication, the Sunday Tribune, which said police were on the verge of arresting a suspect, who was one of the people present when Meyiwa was murdered.

The former goalkeeper and uMlazi born Orlando Pirates captain was fatally shot on October, 26, 2014, while visiting his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, at her mother’s house in Vosloorus on the East Rand.

A police source was quoted as saying the suspect was identified after a re-enactment of the shooting two weeks ago and a study of the initial police reports.
