Marching in honour of Senzo Meyiwa
Placards displaying messages of admiration and love for their hero, as well as anger at a life cut short, were held up high
A march was held through town on Friday morning to commemorate the late Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa.
Supporters of the soccer sensation and icon (who was goalkeeper and captain for Orlando Pirates and the national team) shouted their disgust and verbally condemned the men who senselessly shot him during a robbery in Gauteng.
Placards displaying messages of admiration and love for their hero, as well as anger at a life cut short, were held up high. “We want Senzo’s murderers arrested and thrown in jail for this terrible crime,” shouted one upset protester.
Public Safety officers monitored proceedings and directed traffic to make sure everything went smoothly.
The march started from the Kandahar Avenue grounds, proceeded through town and ended back at the sports grounds.
