"“So, we came together as Pirates supporters and decided that we have an opportunity to do something about this when we travel down to KwaZulu-Natal for the team’s game against Royal AM in the MTN8. We decided that we are going to donate some money for her so that she will be able to continue with her business."

Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead at his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo's house in November 2014, a crime that has not been solved with a trial undergoing. Sam Meyiwa passed away in July 2019, with reports suggesting that the justice he did not get for his son's murder contributed to his worsening health and eventual death.

Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza is still haunted by former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa's murder

Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza remains troubled that no one has answered for the murder of Bafana Bafana and Buccaneers goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

As reported by Sports Brief, Meyiwa was shot dead in the house of his then-girlfriend Kelly Khumalo in Vosloorus in November 2014. Five men are currently on trial for the crime, and the matter has been postponed until September.

Apparently, Longwe Twala, the son of legendary music artist Sello "Chicco" Twala was prepared to come forward with crucial information about what transpired that night. Twala junior was one of several other people allegedly in the house on the night Meyiwa died.
