Killing of S Africa footballer Senzo Meyiwa

27-year-old Senzo Meyiwa was captain of South Africa's football team and - just last night - he became the latest victim of gun violence in his country.

A major manhunt is underway to find the killers of South Africa football captain Senzo Meyiwa, police say.

Meyiwa was attacked after two men entered his girlfriend's house in Vosloorus, south of Johannesburg, demanding mobile phones and other valuables. President Jacob Zuma led tributes to the goalkeeper, while thousands of fans took to social media to grieve over Meyiwa's death.

On tonight's World Have Your Say, we hear your reaction to the killing and we also ask South Africans about the wider significance of this attack for their country.
