Bheki Cele won't comment on Senzo Meyiwa gun claims
Updated | By Steve Bhengu
Police Minister Bheki Cele has refused to be drawn into confirming reports claiming the gun that was apparently used to kill Senzo Meyiwa has been found.
The Durban-born footballer was shot six years ago, while at a friend's house on Gauteng's East Rand.
News24 yesterday reported that it had information that police had also identified the person who pulled the trigger.

The man is said to already be sitting in jail for killing a Johannesburg taxi boss with the same gun, three months after Meyiwa died.
At a press briefing in Durban on crime in KZN, Cele wouldn't entertain the alleged leaked reports.
"How do you expect the minister to respond to leaked issues?"
"So I will leave them as leaked and I will answer when I make a statement in an announcement whether the man was found, whether it was linked to somebody, I will request one is spared on responding to leaks," he said.
