Johannesburg — In commemoration of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo
Meyiwa, Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza has announced the
goalkeeper's number one jersey at the club will be retired.
"I don't think anyone can replace Senzo and his jersey will never be worn by anyone else again," Khoza said.
Meyiwa, the 27-year-old Pirates captain, was shot dead while visiting
his girlfriend in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, on Sunday evening.
He is the second player to be honoured in this way, with former
striker Lesley Manyathela's number 22 Pirates shirt retired after he
died in a car accident in 2003.
