Everything you need to know about Mandisa Mkhize, Senzo Meyiwa’s wife. Former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa married Mandisa Mkhize in March 2013 but their relationship involved tons of cheating allegedly.
Senzo Meyiwa was a South African professional footballer who was born on January 24, 1987, in Durban, South Africa. He was primarily known as a goalkeeper and had a successful career playing for both club and country.
Meyiwa rose to prominence while playing for Orlando Pirates, one of the top football clubs in South Africa. He joined the team in 2005 and went on to become their first-choice goalkeeper and team captain. He played a crucial role in leading Orlando Pirates to several domestic titles, including multiple Premier Soccer League (PSL) championships and Nedbank Cup victories.
In addition to his club success, Meyiwa was also a key player for the South African national team. He made his debut for Bafana Bafana, the national team, in 2013 and quickly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper. He represented South Africa in various international competitions, including the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Tragically, Senzo Meyiwa was shot and killed on October 26, 2014, in Vosloorus, a township near Johannesburg. The circumstances surrounding his death caused shock and grief throughout the country. The case remained unsolved for several years, with ongoing investigations by the South African police.
In the Netflix documentary Murder of a Soccer Star, it was revealed that Mandisa was aware of Senzo’s infidelity and that everyone knew he loved women. She didn’t seem concerned about the infidelity, despite the fact that she supposedly discovered hotel invoices in his laundry.
However, when she learned that Senzo had fallen in love with Kelly Khumalo, everything changed. Later, Kelly became pregnant with Thingo, Senzo’s now eight-year-old daughter. The show also made the shocking disclosure that Senzo planned to make Kelly his second wife. Mandisa might not have been pleased with this.
