The trial of the five men accused of the murder of football star Senzo Meyiwa will begin from April 11 next year in the high court in Pretoria.

Meyiwa, the former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, was gunned down in what was described as a botched robbery in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg, in the presence of his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo, her mother Ntombi, sister Zandi, Zandi’s boyfriend Longwe Twala, his friends Mthokozisi Twala and Tumelo Madlala, and their son, who was four years old at the time.

Sibiya is currently at Modderbee prison, Ntanzi at Rustenburg prison, Mncube at Kgosi Mampuru prison in Pretoria, Maphisa at Leeuwkop prison and Ntuli at Ebongweni prison in Kokstad. At previous appearances in court on the Meyiwa case, the men have professed their innocence, saying they had nothing to do with his murder.
