Deceased Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa was pictured with his lover and the mother of his daughter Kelly Khumalo and her sister Zandi in his car in what is believed to be hours before his untimely passing.

Khumalo captioned the image "My sister photo bombing our picture." The picture was uploaded 15 hours ago on social networking site, Instagram and shows a smiling Khumalo seated in the passenger seat next to Senzo while her sister Zandi looks on in the back seat.

The two may have spent the weekend together since Meyiwa was again captured on an Instagram video on Khumalo's Instagram account on Thursday. Meyiwa can be seen singing along to Khumalo's new single Asine.

Meyiwa and Khumalo have been in an on and off relationship for the past two years. Meyiwa was married to Mandisa Mkhize, who is the mother of his daughter. Khumalo and Mkhize were embroiled in a physical altercation which saw Khumalo assault Mkhize and dent her BMW 1 Series last year.

Charges were brought against Khumalo and her sister Zandi,  but later struck off the roll because Khumalo and her sister passed the court's diversion programme which includes a form of rehabilitation such as counseling or community service.

In an interview with True Love magazine, Khumalo said she was not aware Meyiwa was married when they first met. She added that they were not together because she wanted to allow Meyiwa a chance to fix things with his wife.

"Three months before I gave birth in December, I was at a place where I was ready to let him go. I loved him enough to let him go."

About their break up, Khumalo added: "One minute we'd talk and accept that we had to go our separate ways. Then later we'd realise that 'I don't want to do this' and he'd come in and out of my life. It was hard for me because I still love him, I'll love him forever."

Although Khumalo professed to starting on a clean slate without Meyiwa, they were spotted together this year. Khumalo was soon brave enough to go public with their relationship once more - posting images on Instagram and appearing at public events including her album listening session about two weeks ago.

Speaking to a weekly magazine, Khumalo said she and Meyiwa were together and he was a great father to their kids.
