A police captain investigating the Senzo Meyiwa murder case has allegedly pulled out of the probe after her recommendation that those present in the house on the night of the murder, including Kelly Khumalo, be charged and arrested for lying to the police.

Entertainment SA has learned that according to a report Captain Joyce Buthelezi made recommendations to a committee dealing with the case that police arrest and charge everyone in the house on the night of the murder with perjury and defeating the ends of justice,

When the committee overseeing the probe allegedly rejected one of her key recommendations, she pulled out of the investigation, according to a Sunday World report. She subsequently allegedly received death threats after making the recommendation.

According to the report, national police spokesperson Lieutenant general Solomon Makgale confirmed that Captain Buthelezi has left the team, but said no one received death threats as far as they are aware

The Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper and captain, Meyiwa, was shot and killed in what appeared to be a botched armed robbery at his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo's house in Spruitview on the East Rand last October 2014

Those present (witnesses) in the house on the night of the murder are Khumalo and her sister Zandi, the son of music producer Chicco Twala, Longwe, and the goalkeeper's friends Tumelo Madladla and Mthokozisi Twala. Meyiwa's father, Sam, declined to comment, previous reports have confimed that the late Meyiwa’s father is not Kelly Khumalo’s biggest fan since his son’s death
