Senzo Meyiwa murder cover-up report is 'misleading': Police
Updated | By Sandile Zikhali
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has dismissed claims that senior officers have tried to cover-up Senzo Meyiwa's murder.

The footballer was shot dead at his girlfriend's house on Gauteng's East Rand five years ago.
It is alleged that the shooting happened during a robbery.

The Sunday Independent quoted sources as saying Meyiwa was mistakenly shot by someone he knew, when he tried to stop a quarrel between another couple that was at the house in Vosloorus.
National Police Commissioner, Khehla Sithole has described the article as a myriad of assumptions, untruths and innuendos.
Sithole says he is satisfied with the work done in the investigation so far.
"However, we will welcome any information that can help bring us closer to resolving this case,” said Sitole.
National police spokesperson, Vish Naidoo says such articles are not helping matters.
"Let's not investigate this case to the media, because it is causing more damage, more harm than good."
"Let the investigation take it's cause and once the investigation is finalised - hopefully soon - and information and evidence is tested in court, then we can talk about it in a public domain. Talking about it now is going to do nothing more than comprise the investigation," he said.
No one has been charged in the murder case.
Last week, AfriForum announced that its private prosecuting unit led by Advocate Gerrie Nel, would be taking on the case after being approached by Meyiwa's family.

Naidoo says they are willing to work with the lobby group in cracking the Senzo Meyiwa murder case.
"If AfriForum can assist us - and remember their powers are far limited compared to us when it comes to investigating cases - we welcome them to conduct whatever investigation they think they can conduct."
"Whatever information and evidence they may generate from the investigation, we will welcome that, provided that it is going to help us successfully conclude the case," he said.
