New details revealed

The hitman in the case has been identified as Fisokuhle Ntuli and he allegedly worked with four other men in carrying out Meyiwa's murder. However, the identity of the person who hired the five men remains unknown.

Ntuli and his co-accomplices have not applied for bail, which has been seen as an admittance of guilt. SAPS are confident in the strength of the case they have built thus far and are waiting for final pieces of evidence to cement their chances at winning the success.

Kelly Khumalo, who was Meyiwa's girlfriend at the time of his death, has said that the event has ruined her reputation both personally and in her career as a singer because many have publicly declared that they suspect her involvement in the case.
