What is it that these police are trying to hide, what about all those that were inside the house when Senzo was killed. If police have evidence like they claim then why does the case keep getting postponed, what more do they need to gather if they have said they have all the evidence,\u201d asked Sinqobile in her post.<\/p>\n<p>Sfiso said the family would be contacting Afriforum and others in a bid to help the Maphisa family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now I can\u2019t divulge who the others are but heads will roll\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Sinqobile said that it felt good to have the support of the Meyiwa family and she felt that justice would be served.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily News has sent the spokesperson to the Minister of Police a query in relation to the allegations made as well as the Department of Correctional Services in relation to the alleged activities in its prisons.<\/p>\n<p>None had responded at the time of publishing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Daily News<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
