Senzo Meyiwa’s lookalike daughter Nana is celebrating her milestone sweet 16 birthday.
The young girl—whose mother was the soccer star’s wife, Mandisa Mkhize—is Meyiwa’s second-born child.
Nana was six years old when her Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper dad was shot and killed in 2014.

WHO ARE HIS OTHER CHILDREN?
Before Nana was born, Senzo Meyiwa fathered his first daughter, Namhla. The teen lives with Senzo’s mother, Ntombifuthi, who is also her legal guardian, in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal.
According to Diski365, the young girl is being financially supported by the NGO Red Ants. She’s also received assistance from Senzo’s fellow Orlando Pirates colleague Brilliant Khuzwayo.
While Namla’s biological mother is unknown, Senzo’s widow, Mandisa Mkhize, has also adopted the young girl as her own.
