Gyan mourns tragic death of Senzo Meyiwa

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has sent his deepest condolence to the family of murdered South African goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

The 27-year-old died shortly after being shot by gunmen around Vosloorus township, near Johannesburg on Sunday night.


Meyiwa is reported to have been shot while protecting his celebrity girlfriend Kelly Khumalo.


The cruel death of the Orlando Pirates shot-stopper has sent the whole of South Africa into a state of immense grief.


Meyiwa captained Bafana Bafana in all their four qualifiers for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations and was top of the list in the squad to be released by coach Shakes Mashaba for next month’s round of games.


Asamoah Gyan joins all South Africans and the rest of the world to mourn with the family of the departed soul.

“It is such a sad news for someone full of promise to lose his life like the way he [Meyiwa] did,” Gyan told AsamoahGyan3.com.


“The news hit me very hard and I can only imagine how difficult these moments are for his family.


“I offer my deepest condolence to the family of Meyiwa and all South Africans for this big loss.”


Police have alr3eadu commenced investigations into the murder of the South African goalkeeper.


Meanwhile, this weekend’s South African derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs has been unsurprisingly postponed in honour of murdered Bucs goalkeeper.
