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.

Too bad. RIP to the dead.

Death is inevitable! Every man MUST die its just a time different. Go well and rest in Peace.we will see in heaven again as one team not as opponent.

RIP Young Billy Okpara
Senzo Meyiwa and his goalkeeper coach and Orland Pirates legend Billy Okpara. He knows Senzo since he was 14 years at Pirates academy.

RIP ZULU WARRIOR!!!!

for me this is another love triangle murder just like Dewani or Pistorius in this case it was man. Am sure Senzo's wife is behind this after they she realised Senzo was in love with SA singer Kelly Khumalo and they had a baby.

Wow last week Senzo and Kelly were on S4 THURSDAYS WITH MARAWA. This happened so fast I cant believe this.

so sad

Southafricans be hating on each other displaying their true black nature.

Tragic loss.

RIP Senzo

So sad,GOD wil not let us lose my find boy(enyeama)like dat oo!

^What kind of nonsense talk is that?

Bullshit!!!!stupid post, everyone know this was robbery but a planned killing just like Oscar Pistorius (White half German/Dutch/English=Anglo-saxon) or Diwani (Indian from UK). This was a luv triangle gone wrong. All these relationships like Senzo's had 3 people and ended up in death.

Senzo "Okpara Jr" Meyiwa, May His Soul Rest in peace. Never Conceded a goal since coming in for injured Khune (Bafana Bafana GK). It is as If Khune stepped aside for Senzo to hit the spotlight and disappear. Now its back to Khune.

As per that Girl Kelly Khumalo? She is nothing but trouble. She is a gold digger that still has nothing(One Small house in Vosloorus) Had a baby with JUB JUB (Jub Jub dey jail now) had a baby for Senzo (He don die now) Who's next?
