Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar has paid tribute to South Africa captain Senzo Meyiwa following his tragic death on Sunday.
Pienaar was shocked to hear the 27-year-old Orlando Pirates goalkeeper had been shot and killed on Sunday night.
Pienaar said: "First of all, I want to express my sincere sympathy to Senzo's family and friends at this very sad time.
"To lose your life at a young age when you have so much ahead of you is tragic and very difficult to understand.
"Senzo was a very talented goalkeeper who was well-liked by team-mates and opponents alike. Our nation has lost a popular sportsman and he will be missed."
