Senzo Meyiwa’s brother talks about new Netflix docu-series

Slain Senzo Meyiwa’s brother strongly believes the docu-series which will air next month – just a few days before the trial begins – will uncover a lot of detail surrounding his mysterious death.

Sifiso Meyiwa believes South Africans are going to get insight and the truth behind his brother’s death. He says the killer will be revealed.

Meyiwa said he was happy the documentary about his brother was made which captures everything about his life.

 

 

“I am happy because we [as family] were able to say everything that we wanted to say about the death of Senzo and how the issue has been handled,” he said.

“Some of the information that is part of the documentary has never been exposed before to the media,” he said.

“It is serious stuff. There is a lot of cover-up that happened when Senzo died. People are going to watch the documentary and make up their own minds about who killed Senzo.

“But I’m disappointed that the documentary will be aired before the conclusion of the case. This was going to allow the public to see the case being concluded and get the real truth in the documentary.”

The high-profile murder of the soccer legend is set to be reimaged through a five-part docu-series that will make its premiere on Netflix on April 7.

It was directed by Sara Blecher and executive produced by Thandi Davids, Neil Brandt and Tendeka Matatu.

The murder trial against four men – Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, 34, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, 30, Mthobisi Prince Ncube, 36, and Mthokoziseni Ziphozonke Maphisa, 35 – is expected to start on April 11 in the high court in Pretoria.
