Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, mourns about the loss of South African goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa, who was tragically killed on Sunday.

Casillas, who was Meyiwa’s role model, posted a picture of the Bafana goalkeeper with a swapped shirt of himself on his Instagram account, accompanied by the following message:

"Very saddened by the tragic loss of a fellow DEP (RIP) Senzo.”

Casillas and Meyiwa had swapped shirts when La Roja, the then World Cup champions, played South Africa in 2013.

Other international stars have also been sending their tributes for Meyiwa and we will continue to add their condolences into this article.
