Earlier Cele promised to reopen Meyiwa’s case and find the suspects before Easter. However, Cele has not given a progress report to the family on the work done by the police so far to catch the killers.
Meyiwa’s cousin Siyabonga Miya, who was pictured outside the SAPS headquarters in Durban last week wearing Meyiwa’s jersey and holding a poster, is demanding answers from the police minister.
“I am here because I am disappointed in the SAPS and the police leadership that so much time can go by without any developments. The family doesn’t even know who is in charge of the case as we have never seen them. All we have is Cele making a promise on TV,” Miya was quoted as saying by TimesLIVE.
“I tried calling him one time in January and he told me he was busy with election things … All I ask is that Bheki come with the team you picked to handle the case. There are things on social media about the case but we don’t know who to ask.”
