The Afro-pop sensation, Kelly Khumalo, has become the center of attention in recent headlines as the murder trial of former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana captain, Senzo Meyiwa, takes a dramatic turn.

Accused individuals, Muzi Sibiya and Bongani Ntanzi, have reportedly named Kelly Khumalo as the person who allegedly hired them to carry out the fatal attack on Senzo Meyiwa back in 2014.

Senzo Meyiwa was tragically shot dead in Vosloorus, Gauteng, while in the company of his then-girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, and friends. The recent revelations in court, shared under oath by lead investigator Brigadier Bongani Gininda, suggest that the incident was not a random act of violence but rather a targeted hit orchestrated by Kelly Khumalo.

The startling confessions have propelled Kelly Khumalo into the limelight as a person of interest in the ongoing trial. However, amid the trending discussions, social media has witnessed the resurfacing of old videos featuring Kelly Khumalo. One notable clip circulating online shows Kelly Khumalo explaining the meaning behind her 2014 song ‘Asine’ during an appearance on Robert Marawa’s TNL show.In the video, recorded in 2014, Kelly Khumalo performed the song, and Senzo Meyiwa, tragically, made his last sports interview during the same show. The Venda-written song ‘Asine’ translates to ‘It’s not me.’ Kelly Khumalo, during her conversation with Marawa, clarified that the song revolves around a woman accused of killing her husband. Throughout the court case, the woman in the song repeatedly claims, “It’s not me, it’s not me.”

The juxtaposition of the song’s meaning and the unfolding events in that very year has left many shocked and intrigued. The resurfacing of these videos adds a layer of complexity to the public’s perception of the unfolding trial, creating a juxtaposition between the artist’s past expressions and the present legal implications.
