The suspects are expected to appear in the Boksburg Magistrates Court Tuesday.
Meyiwa family spokesperson Siyabonga Meyiwa said Cele updated them on new developments on the case.
“He has informed us that it was probably a well-organised crime and said there are going to be more people who will be brought to book after the first bunch of people have already been identified.”
Meyiwa added they believed the minister was on the right track on the matter and they would give him space to ensure that he realises justice on behalf of the family.”
‘WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK’
At the same time, Cele said they believed that they were on the right track with investigations looking into the death of Meyiwa.
Police had previously arrested and then released a suspect in the murder case due to insufficient evidence.
Cele said he was confident that they have not made the same mistake: “We are very confident that we are on the right track this time.”
However, as investigations continued into the matter, Cele said they would also depend on information they expect to be given by the suspects.
“Some of the people either already arrested or still going to be arrested and they will tell us what really happened on that particular day.” – ewn
