Meyiwa's remains leave stadium

Durban - The mortal remains of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa left the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday for Heroes Acre cemetery in Chesterville, where he will be buried.

Thousands of supporters left the stands to stand on a ramp and watch the convoy of white Audi Q7s leave the stadium.

Football supporters braced the drizzle to watch their hero being whisked away.

South Africans turned out in their thousands to pay homage to Meyiwa, who was also captain of Orlando Pirates, at his funeral in the stadium on Saturday.

Meyiwa was shot and killed on Sunday evening in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, while visiting his singer girlfriend Kelly Khumalo. Two men allegedly entered the house demanding cellphones and shot him before fleeing.
