Netflix announces new documentary about Senzo Meyiwa’s murder, Mzansi wants to know the name of Mastermind
Briefly News previously reported that Netflix has announced that Senzo: Murder of a Soccer Star will premiere on 7 April. The fans of the late Orlando Pirates goalkeeper are hoping that the docu-series will finally reveal the people behind his murder.
The former Bafana Bafana star was fatally shot at his baby mama, Kelly Khumalo's family home eight years back. Not even one person has been convicted of his killing but there were six eyewitnesses in the house when he was shot.
The alleged hitmen, who have denied slaying the star, are yet to go to trial, reports TshisaLIVE. The supporters of the slain soccer player took to Twitter to react to Netflix's announcement.
