A South African court has withdrawn murder charges against a man arrested in connection with the killing of national football captain Senzo Meyiwa.
Zanokuhle Mbatha was arrested by a special police task team last month after a nationwide manhunt.
The magistrate ordered that he be released because that there was not enough evidence for him to stand trial.
Meyiwa was killed in a robbery at his girlfriend’s home in the township of Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg.
Two men allegedly entered Kelly Khumalo’s home on 26 October and demanded mobile phones before shooting Meyiwa during a scuffle.
