South Africa's football captain Senzo Meyiwa has died after being shot during a burglary, police say.
He was reportedly attacked after men entered his girlfriend's house in Vosloorus, south of Johannesburg.
His agent described him as a humble man from a tough background who had become a "hero in everyone's eyes".
The 27-year-old was the goalkeeper for Orlando Pirates and had played in South Africa's last four Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
On Saturday, he was in action for his club, when they progressed to the semi-finals of the South African League Cup, beating Ajax Cape Town 4-1
