AfriForum and the family of the late soccer player Senzo Meyiwa announced during a media conference on Tuesday that the civil rights organisation would be representing the Meyiwa family.
Advocate Gerrie Nel, Head of AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit, has been appointed as the Meyiwa family’s advocate in the murder investigation into the death of Senzo.
This follows the fatal shooting of the 27-year-old former Bafana Bafana captain five years ago in a house in Vosloorus, after which the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) failed to institute prosecution.
Meyiwa's brother Siyabonga say they want to honour Senzo by ensuring that justice is served and his murderers brought to book.
He said he was proud to be associated with Afriforum, who was willing to fight for the truth.
"I will not die before this is sorted. I don't fear anyone, I only fear God" he said.
AfriForum and the Meyiwa family appeal to anyone with information on the case to send an email to onsvervolg@afriforum.co.za
