South Africa's president on Monday led a shocked nation in voicing outrage at the murder of national football captain Senzo Meyiwa after the talismanic goalkeeper was shot dead during a home robbery. Police said the 27-year-old was killed late Sunday after burglars broke in to the house of pop-star girlfriend Kelly Khumalo, making off with a cell phone. More than 17,000 people were killed in South Africa last year, but the slaying of a popular sporting hero has stunned even this crime-weary nation. "Words cannot express the nation's shock at this loss," said President Jacob Zuma, amid a national outpouring of grief and anger.
