According to report on Allafrica.com, Kellu Khumalo who has a child for the national team captain is not invited for the burial which will take place on saturday.

"The service is open to anyone who wants to come to pay their last respects to Senzo, but that girl [Kelly Khumalo] is not welcome. She mustn't even think about coming," Meyiwa's father, Samuel was quoted as saying.

Gauteng detective unit head Maj-Gen Norman Taioe told reporters in Johannesburg that Meyiwa was shot in his upper body while visiting his girlfriend, singer and actress Kelly Khumalo, in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, on Sunday night.

Meanwhile Police have released identikits of two dreadlocked men with gold teeth believed to be involved in Meyiwa's shooting and a ransome of R250,000 is being offered for information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.
