JOHANNESBURG - The captain of South Africa's national soccer team was fatally shot when armed men broke into the house where he was staying Camo DJ Chark Jersey , police said.


Goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa was killed around 8 p.m. Sunday after two gunmen entered a house in Vosloorus township near Johannesburg while an accomplice waited outside, the national police force said on its Twitter account. The three assailants then fled on foot, according to the police service, which offered a reward of nearly $14,000 for information leading to arrests in the case.


Police said there were seven people in the house during the attack, and that the shooting followed an "altercation."


Authorities said they would do everything possible to find the killers.


South Africa has a high rate of violent crime Camo Taven Bryan Jersey , but it was not immediately clear whether the house where Meyiwa was staying was targeted by thieves or gunmen with another motive. Solomon Makgale, a South African police spokesman, declined to comment, referring The Associated Press to updates on the police Twitter account.


South African soccer club Orlando Pirates said in a statement that it "has learned with sadness about the untimely death of our number one goalkeeper and current captain Senzo Meyiwa."


"This is a sad loss whichever way you look at it - to Senzo's family, his extended family, Orlando Pirates and to the nation Black A. J. Cann Jersey ," Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza said.


Dean Furman, one of Meyiwa's teammates, tweeted: "Beyond devastated at the loss of our captain & friend Senzo Meyiwa. Thoughts & prayers are with his family & friends at this terrible time."


Meyiwa, 27, was South Africa's captain in its four qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations this year, including its last game Black Dante Fowler Jr Jersey , a 0-0 draw with Republic of Congo on Oct. 15. He played for Orlando Pirates on Saturday in a 4-1 win over Ajax Cape Town.


It's the second death to hit South African sports in three days, as former 800-meter world champion Mbulaeni Mulaudzi was killed in a car crash on Friday. At the time, President Jacob Zuma said "the nation has lost a true hero."


Early Monday local time, the youth league of South Africa's ruling party sent condolences to the families of Meyiwa and Mulaudzi, saying "their premature passing is indeed a great loss to the country and sporting nation."




WASHINGTON: The United States and Europe targeted Russia's key financial, arms and energy sectors on Tuesday (July 29) with tough new sanctions in response to Moscow's intervention in the Ukraine crisis.


Announcing the measures Black Yannick Ngakoue Jersey , US President Barack Obama denied that the West had begun a new Cold War against its former Soviet foe, but urged his counterpart Vladimir Putin to reverse course. He warned the new sanctions would hurt a Russian economy which is already stumbling towards zero growth. He also said Washington had proof that Russian artillery had fired on Ukrainian forces.


Obama added the allies are now more determined to act together in the wake of the shooting down over Ukraine this month of a Malaysia Airlines jet by Russian-armed separatists.


"Even before our actions today, nearly $100 billion in capital was expected to flee Russia," Obama warned. "Russia's energy, financial and defence sectors are feeling the pain. Projections for Russian economic growth are down to near zero."


While the sanctions are designed to hit key sectors of Moscow's economy hardest, and the circle off oligarchs in Putin's inner circle Black Myles Jack Jersey , there were warnings that Europe's own economy would suffer too.


The euro fell to its lowest level against the dollar on Tuesday as markets realized that Brussels was on a collision course with Europe's biggest source of energy and a major trading partner.


The US Treasury singled out VTB Bank, its subsidiary Bank of Moscow and Russian Agricultural Bank as three institutions joining the existing sanctions regime against Russia.


Sanctions will also target Russia's state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation, which builds attack submarines and surface warships, some of them for export to Moscow's overseas military partners.


Europe's sanctions will notably make it tougher for Russian state-owned banks to access European financial markets, forcing their costs higher and hobbling an already struggling economy.


Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council Black Dede Westbrook Jersey , dubbed the measures "a strong warning" and condemned Russia's "illegal annexation" of Crimea and deliberate destabilization of Ukraine.


If Russia does not change direction, Van Rompuy said, "it will find itself increasingly isolated by its own actions."


"The European Union will fulfill its obligations to protect and ensure the security of its citizens. And the European Union will stand by its neighbours and partners," the statement added.


The EU however "remains ready to reverse its decisions and re-engage with Russia when it starts contributing actively and without ambiguities to finding a solution," he added.


For months since the crisis erupted in November, the EU has restricted its response to so-called 'Phase 2' asset freezes and visa bans on those implicated in or profiting from the Ukraine crisis.


Washington and Kiev complained such measures were not enough Black Dawuane Smoot Jersey , suggesting EU states were reluctant to hurt their extensive economic ties with Russia, which supplies a third of the bloc's gas.


The loss of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, however, dramatically changed thinking, even among holdouts such as Germany and Italy, and put broader 'Phase 3' sanctions on the agenda.


"The decision today was inevitable Black Cam Robinson Jersey ," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, urging the Russian leadership to "pursue the path of de-escalation and cooperation."


EU ambassadors also agreed to impose asset freezes and visa bans on four close Putin business associates, the first time the bloc has targeted such figures. Details of their names w.
