Senzo Meyiwa family feel let down once again by the South African Police Service following the postponement of the murder case of the former Bafana Bafana keeper.

The High Court in Tshwane heard on Monday about the request for a postponement following the absence of a supposed key witness who was reportedly inside the Vosloorus house when Meyiwa was shot in October 2014.

State prosecutor George Baloyi told the court the case could not continue as the witness would only be arriving in Gauteng later in the day. He was travelling from Durban.

“We are now moving to the segment of evidence of what transpired in the house and the witness who was due to testify today can only be here this afternoon. The state could not secure a flight for him at the weekend as they were oversubscribed and the flight that we could arrange is only arriving this afternoon,” he said.

Baloyi asked for the matter to resume on Tuesday.
