And, for the first time his mother, Ntombifuthi, has opened up about her grief.

She and Senzo's dad, Samuel told Drum magazine that they're struggling financially and emotionally.

Ntombifuthi also revealed that Senzo was in the process of reconciling with his widow, Mandisa Mkhize.

"The night Senzo was killed he was going to meet Mandisa at Orlando Pirates defender Rooi Mahamutsa's party. They were in the process of reuniting and working on their relationship," she explained.

She added that Mandisa is still having dreams of Senzo, in which he asks her forgiveness and professes his love for her.
