* Meyiwa shot dead in township * Media reports intruders wanted a cell phone * South Africa gun culture condemned (Adds reaction) By Mark Gleeson JOHANNESBURG, Oct 26 (Reuters) - South Africa's soccer captain Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead by intruders in a township near Johannesburg on Sunday in what local media reported as a botched robbery. The Orlando Pirates goalkeeper was shot after two men entered a house in Vosloorus where Meyiwa was visiting, at about 8 p.m. local time (1800 GMT), South Africa police said in a statement. "We can confirm that Bucs (Pirates) keeper Senzo Meyiwa has been shot and sadly declared dead on arrival at hospital," the South African Police Services said on its Twitter feed. The 27-year-old captained South Africa in their last four matches in the African Nations Cup qualifiers without conceding a goal and played on Saturday when his club advanced to the semi-finals of the South African League Cup.
