Photos: SA goal keeper shot dead at girlfriend's house laid to rest

27 year old South Africa national team captain and goal keeper Senzo Meyiwa, who was shot dead at his girlfriend's home by unknown gunmen last Sunday October 25th, was laid to rest today November 1st at the Heroes Acre Chesterfield cemetery - an honor that is usually reserved for outstanding figures from the struggle against apartheid.

About 30,000 South Africans gathered at the Moses Mabhida Stadium to bid the goalkeeper farewell. The funeral comes a day after it was announced that a suspect has been arrested and charged for his murder. He is survived by three children. May his soul rest in peace. Amen. See photos after the cut...


Meyiwa had captained South Africa in their first four African Nations Cup qualifiers over the last two months without conceding a goal.

I strongly believe that SA will never close this case, they must go down to the root of it not Nigeria.

There is this very high crime rate in Joburg and yet it is least mentioned internally. People are killed like foul. Remember Lucky Dube??
If this was Nigeria, the whole world would have been on us
