Sam Meyiwa, Senzo\u2019s father has revealed that the family is too broke to afford to pay for a number of traditional ceremonies for their son.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we even go to bed with empty stomachs. My son was a breadwinner,\u201d Sam tells City Press.<\/p>\n

Sams shares that the lack of money and the feud that the family has with Kelly has left them unable to go through with the ceremonies to allow Senzo to rest in peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to perform ukubuyisa for Senzo but we don\u2019t have the money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need R10 000 for a cow and R650 for a goat. If we don\u2019t do the ritual, my son will never rest in peace,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Sam confirms that if they do get the money for the ceremony, Senzo\u2019s wife Mandisa and their kids will attend the ceremony but he refused to comment on whether or not Kelly and little Thingo will be joining the family.<\/p>\n
