The inauguration was attended by Meyiwa’s family, including her mother Ntombifuthi, SA Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan, and Bafana Bafana players Thulani Hlatshwayo, Ronwen Williams and Darren Keet.

Also present were Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki and assistant Arthur Zwane.

Meyiwa was shot and killed on October 26, 2014 at the home of his girlfriend’s mother. Six years have passed since his murder, and there are still wild accusations.

On October 26, Police Minister Bheki Cele said that the police and the prosecution team had a “hermetic” case against the five suspects they arrested in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

Khune described Senzo as “bold, competitive, and passionate.”

He also remembered his friend and rival on the field as a kind and considerate person.

“When I was promoted to the Chiefs’ first team, he brought me a KFC Streetwise Two to celebrate. Three weeks later he was promoted and I did the same, ”Khune said.

Both goalkeepers made their respective PSL debuts with the Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in 2007 after exiting development, and went from competing for the number one spot on the youth national teams to Bafana Bafana.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Senzo’s brother, Siyabonga Meyiwa, thanked the attendees for their support.

He said Senzo came from a line of excellence and that his only option was to achieve greatness.
