October 28, 2014
The sudden death of Senzo MEYIWA plunges into deep sorrow all those who met him on the African pitch and admired his talent as a goalkeeper in the South African club of Orlando Pirates. All players, members of the technical staff and managers as well as TPM supporters will remember the great class of Senzo MEYIWA.
Nobody is indifferent to his talent, smartness and pugnacity in this position as Orlando Pirates goalkeeper and the national team of Bafana Bafana, TPM acknowledges his prowess.
"I greatly admired him since the match Mazembe -Orlando Pirates in 2012. His composure in front of any forward inspired me afterwards. We learn every day and I also learned a lot by following the matches of Orlando Pirates and of Bafana Bafana. I will never forget those two penalties arrested in 8th finals of the CAF Champion’s League in 2012 in a game where we dominated Orlando Pirates from head and to shoulders. He was the great of the continent, may his soul rest in peace" exclaimed Robert KIDIABA deeply shocked by the murder.
According to the news broadcast by the South African media and reported by RFI, Senzo MEYIWA was at his girlfriend’s place, when some guys emerged, demanding cell phones, before opening fire. It was approximately 20 hours (Sunday, October 26) when the attack occurred in the township of Valorous, at 20 kilometers southeast of Johannesburg. The perpetrators of the attack are on the run and there has been no arrest yet. TPM expresses his deep condolences to Orlando Pirates and the South African Football Association, his friends and especially his family and loved ones.
