With the above said, is the delay in Senzo Meyiwa’s case a cover-up? Interestingly, on Saturday I visited one of the SAPS satellite police stations around the North of Joburg. During my visit, I eavesdropped while I was minding my own business.
One of the SAPS members said, “I want to see where this Chicco Twala thing will end,” of which the other cop responded by saying, “It’s sad because of uBaba ka-Senzo uze washona ekhazekile engazi ukuthi uSenzo ubulewe ubani (Senzo’s father died hurt not knowing who killed his son),” as brief as it was, this is the conversation that took place on Saturday.
