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