Since the beginning of the week, we have questioned a number of people in connection with the murder of Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates keeper, Senzo Meyiwa. On Thursday, after receiving information about a number of suspects, we conducted an identity parade during which some of the witnesses positively identified one person. During consultation with the prosecution team, it was decided that this person should be arrested and charged on the basis of the positive identification by some of the witness. The matter was then placed on the court roll and heard yesterday afternoon. The suspect, Zenokuhle Mbatha, a 25-year old, has been remanded in custody and will reappear in court on 11 November 2014. We are continuing with our investigations. Whilst we are pleased with the progress we are making and the overwhelming support from members of the public, there is still a lot of work to be done to finalise the investigation and ensure that we can link all suspects to the murder. We must emphasize that Mr Mbatha is regarded as a suspect at the moment and we therefore must allow due process of the law to take its course.
