South Africa Goal Keeper Senzo Meyiwa Shot Dead.

South Africa and Orlando
Pirates goalkeeper and
captain Senzo Meyiwa
was shot dead on Sunday
in Vosloorus, South Africa.
The exact details of the incident are yet to
transpire, but the South African Police Service
(SAPS) have provided confirmation of the South
African international's tragic death.
The 27-year-old was declared dead upon arrival
at hospital, according to the authorities, who
appealed for calm as people rushed to the
hospital and the house where he was shot to
grieve and pay their respects. The Orlando Pirates star was in action as recently
as Saturday, in his side's 4-1 win over Ajax Cape
Town in the quarter-final of the Telekom
Knockout tournament.
Meyiwa captained Bafana during the recent 2015
Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against
Congo, Nigeria and Sudan, taking over the
skipper's armband in the absence of Kaizer
Chiefs' Itumeleng Khune.
Meyiwa's contribution to the national team has
been immense in the Afcon qualifiers, with Bafana
yet to concede a goal after four games while
topping their table ahead of Sudan, defending
champions Nigeria and Congo.
Pirates Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza tweeted, "This is
a sad loss to Senzo's family especially his
children, to Orlando Pirates & the nation."
The club have announced that they will hold a
press conference on Monday. He was said to have been shot in his girlfriend (Kelly Khumalo) place after a robbery attack nobody else was harmed in the house. May his soul rest in peace.
