Football : South African football fans mourn death of captain Senzo Meyiwa who was shot dead by armed robbers.
The captain of South Africa's national football team Senzo Meyiwa has been shot dead by armed robbers in a town near Johannesburg, while trying to protect his girlfriend.
Meyiwa died on Sunday after suffering a single shot through the chest after two armed men broke into the home of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, a South African actress and singer.
The 27-year-old Meyiwa was the goalkeeper for the Orlando Pirates. He captained South Africa in its last four matches in the African Nations Cup qualifiers without conceding a goal.
He was last seen in action on Saturday when his club advanced to the semi-finals of the South African League Cup.
Meyiwa's death puts the spotlight on issue of rampant gun violence in South Africa, which has plagued the country for several years.
More than 17,000 people were murdered in South Africa between April 2013 and March 2014.
This high-profile incident comes less than a week after Paralympic runner Oscar Pistorius was given a five-year jail sentence for culpable homicide after shooting his girlfriend.
Police are offering 14,000 US dollars to anyone with information leading to the suspects' arrest.
