Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead
by intruders when trying to protect his girlfriend during a robbery at
her home near Johannesburg, officials said on Monday.
The 27-year-old Orlando Pirates goalkeeper died on Sunday after
suffering a single shot through the chest at the home of girlfriend
Kelly Khumalo, a local actress and singer, in the township of Vosloorus.
"Two guys entered the house and demanded cellphones, money and other
valuables," provincial Community Safety official Sizakele Nkosi-Malubane
told reporters at the scene.
"Senzo tried to protect Kelly because one of the men had a gun pointed towards her."
Police on Sunday said two men entered Khumalo's house about 8p.m. local
time (1800 GMT). A third waited outside the house and all three fled
immediately after the shooting.
Meyiwa was declared dead on arrival at hospital, the police added.
