The Premier Soccer League on Wednesday (13Apr16) announced the payment of a R4 million life policy on murdered Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain Senzo Meyiwa.
In terms of the policy half the amount will be paid to the club‚ and half to the Meyiwa family‚ said PSL and Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza.
He told a news conference in Johannesburg that the policy pay-out closes one chapter in the Meyiwa saga‚ but the resolution of the ongoing police investigation into the goalkeeper’s killing is another needs urgent attention.
“I think it’s nice to ease the pain of the family and also to deal with the speculations around this matter [the policy]‚” Khoza said.
“But what is important to me is not the money. What is important is that the murder of Senzo must be solved.
“It’s important for justice in South Africa‚ for the confidence of this country.”
