Senzo Meyiwa - Justice Takes Time But Finds Masterminds

The recent conviction of Duane Davis for the murder of Tupac Shakur offers hope for famous unsolved cases. Davis did not pull the trigger. He planned the hit and provided the gun. Nevada law held him responsible as a principal architect. It took nearly thirty years to bring him to court.

South Africans can look at this case while waiting for full justice for Senzo Meyiwa. Five men stand trial in Pretoria for the murder of the football star. Yet the person who ordered and paid for the hit remains free.

The Tupac verdict shows that masterminds cannot hide forever. Old cases can reopen when new details emerge. Time does not wipe away accountability. Justice can still catch up to the person who ordered the hit on Senzo Meyiwa.
