incident reportedly happened at Meyiwa’s girlfriend’s house in Vosloorus, south
of Johannesburg. The 27-year-old played for Orlando Pirates and had played in
South Africa’s last four Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
On Saturday, he was
in action for his club, when they progressed to the semi-finals of the South
African League Cup.
According to the South
African Police Service, two men had entered the house, around 20:00 (18:00
GMT), while a third man remained outside. All three fled after shots were
fired, in what local media reports say was an attempted burglary.
A reward of about
$14,000 has been offered for information leading to the suspects’ arrest. Meyiwa
was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
He started playing
for Orlando Pirates, based in the Parktown district of Johannesburg, in 2005.
May his soul rest
in peace!!!
