McKenzie previously called on police to ensure the country does not see a repeat of the Meyiwa murder probe.
“I don’t know what happened. We can just speculate and wait for the investigations,” he said.
“What I do know is that this story can get uglier. I’m asking the cops to meticulously investigate and to please avoid a Senzo repeat.”
Police minister Bheki Cele told a ministerial imbizo police were making significant progress. He said an update received from his KwaZulu-Natal team advised data from cellphones collected was being used to “patch and knit things together”.
“There are maybe things I’m not supposed to say, but ... we have collected a lot of cellphones that we’re working [on] and downloading [data] and trying to put things together.”

Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie has questioned the “silence” on the arrest of suspects believed to be linked to the murder of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and long-time friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane.
According to Netwerk24, three men were taken in for questioning in Belhar on the Cape Flats at the weekend.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda would not confirm police had the suspects in custody, saying there was “no update on the AKA matter”.
McKenzie suggested the case could be a repeat of the Senzo Meyiwa murder case.
“Why the silence regarding the arrest of the suspects in AKA's murder investigations? I smell another Senzo saga,” he said.
