During his interview with eNCA, Sifiso spoke at length about the ongoing murder trial. He also opened up about their family’s alleged non-existent relationship with the murdered Bafana Bafana goalkeeper’s daughter, Thingo Khumalo.

“We saw her for the first time when Senzo Meyiwa still alive. Kelly’s mother and Senzo had brought her home.

“We would love to see her and have a relationship with her,” Sifiso said.

 

 

He explained that after Senzo’s death, their sister, Nokuthula, tried calling Kelly, but she would allegedly not pick up.

“After Senzo died, Nokuthula would contact Kelly, but she would not answer her calls. We also tried contacting them [the Khumalos] with my mother’s older sister but they did want to hear it,” Sifiso added.

THINGO WAS BORN SEVEN MONTHS BEFORE SENZO’S DEATH
Thingo was born in March 2014, just seven months before her father would be shot and killed in cold blood at her mother’s family home in Vosloorus, Gauteng.

When the incident occurred, Senzo was with Kelly; Kelly’s sister and mother, Zandie and Ntombi Khumalo; Senzo’s friends, Tumelo Madlala and Mthokozisi Thwala; Longwe; and Kelly’s two children, Christian and Thingo.

Senzo also has an older daughter, Namhla “Nana” Meyiwa whom he has with his widow, Mandisa Meyiwa (nee Mkhize).
