Sam Meyiwa has died without getting justice for his son Senzo

Sam Meyiwa has passed on without getting justice for his beloved son Senzo Meyiwa. He was wheelchair-bound and his speech was affected after he suffered a stroke in August 2018. Senzo died in 2014 after being shot in Kelly Khumalo’s mother’s house in Vosloorus, in Ekurhuleni.

In 2017, Sam Meyiwa told Daily Sun that the failure of the police to arrest any suspects left him with many questions.
