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.
