Senzo’s brother Sifiso told the publication that despite receiving regular updates from the police, they were not aware of the reported developments in the case.
“They [police] last updated us a week ago but I can’t get into the details of it because they said it might jeopardize the case. They have never mentioned anything about a gun being found,” said Sifiso – speaking to TimesLIVE.
