National police commissioner Rhia Phiyega held a media
briefing in Johannesburg today where she explained the circumstances
behind Meyiwa's death.
According to Phiyega, Meyiwa was moving towards the door when he was
shot by burglars. Phiyega said Meyiwa was not necessarily trying to
protect anyone but was shot in a scuffle which saw him take a bullet to
the back. The bullet exited through his chest and he was declared dead
on arrival at Botshelong Hospital.
