Afro-pop sensation Kelly Khumalo is making headlines after accused 1 Muzi Sibiya, and 2 Bongani Ntanzi named her as the person who hired them to kill the former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa.

Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead in Vosloorus, Gauteng, in the company of her then-girlfriend Kelly Khumalo and friends in 2014.

MAKING HEADLINES
Earlier this week, lead investigator Brigadier Bongani Gininda revealed that Kelly Khumalo allegedly ordered and paid a hitman to kill Senzo Meyiwa.

Evidence under oath reveals that the murder of Senzo Meyiwa was allegedly a hit, not a robbery gone wrong.

The new confessions have since thrust Kelly Khumalo into the top trends as a person of interest. However, against the trends, several old videos of Kelly Khumalo have been resurfacing on social media.

All eyes are on musician Kelly Khumalo after the North Gauteng High Court heard on Wednesday, 24 January, that the singer is implicated as the person who allegedly ordered the hit on her boyfriend Senzo Meyiwa.

FANS SHOW KELLY KHUMALO LOVE AMID SENZO MEYIWA MURDER TRIAL
The Ngathwala Ngaye hitmaker has not addressed the allegations (presumably for legal reasons). However, she has been responding to messages of love and support from her fans on social media.

Meyiwa was shot dead inside Khumalo’s family home in Vosloorus in October 2014. Khumalo; her sister, Zandile; Zandile’s boyfriend, Longwe Twala; the singer’s mother, Ntombi Khumalo; and two of Meyiwa’s friends, Mthokozisi Thwala and Tumelo Madlala, were all in the house that fateful day.

One fan tagged Khumalo in a tweet that read: “Usazoyiwina lempi MaKhumalo [You will win this battle Miss Khumalo] we love you.”

Responding to the post, the Life With Kelly Khumalo reality star said: “I know

During the murder trial on Wednesday, lead investigator Brigadier Bongani Gininda read from his affidavit, revealing that Khumalo is the alleged mastermind in the former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper’s shooting.

Gininda told the court that accused number one and two (Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya and Bongani Ntanzi) implicated Khumalo in Meyiwa’s killing.

Sibiya, Ntanzi and three others – Mthobisi Ncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Fisokuhle Ntuli – were arrested in 2020 for the crime. Khumalo is accused of ordering the hit and paying the suspects.

The affidavit further revealed that there were four cellphone numbers linked to Khumalo, which she did not disclose. Investigations showed that these numbers linked Khumalo to Ncube, and Ntuli.

“It was further discovered that, through cellphone analysis, her cellphone memory album has the same photo of a see-through bag containing cash notes and in the exact position or location or spot as that of accused number three.”

Furthermore, in 2013, Khumalo allegedly sent a text message telling her sister she wanted to “get rid” of the deceased.

“It is apparently clear that she hated him and wanted to get rid of him. She further states that she regrets not succeeding to get rid of him before. Taking all of this into account, an inference can be drawn she meant killing him.

“Cellphone records show that after the incident took place, she called a number of people, but no call was made to emergency services. She also subsequently went to [a traditional healer] for cleansing as it was done by her other accused in this matter,” Gininda said

Zandile Khumalo-Gumede recently took to Instagram and broke her silence following her sister South African gospel singer Kelly Khumalo being accused of being the “mastermind” behind the murder of her then-boyfriend and the father of her child, late soccer player Senzo Meyiwa.

Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli are all on trial for Senzo Meyiwa’s murder. At the Pretoria high court on Wednesday, two men accused of killing the late soccer star implicated Kelly Khumalo as the mastermind behind Meyiwa’s assassination, TshisaLIVE reported.

Meyiwa was shot dead at Khumalo’s mother’s home in Vosloorus in October 2014. Kelly’s mother Ntombi Khumalo, two of Meyiwa’s friends, Zandile Khumalo-Gumede, and her boyfriend Longwe Twala were all present when the soccer star died.

Following the recent bombshell that was heard in court yesterday, Zandile dedicated a post to Kelly and stood in solidarity with her.

“I will stand with you forever because I know your heart and I know Senzo is standing with you wherever he is. You know we are lions [and] we don’t worry about sheep’s opinions,” Zandile penned.

“To those that have been DMing and texting asking if she’s ok: ‘Like all of us she wants the perpetrators to be brought to book and they will be,” she added.

According to EWN, although Kelly Khumalo was implicated by the accused as the mastermind behind Senzo Meyiwa’s murder, Section 219 of the Criminal Procedure Act states that no confession made by any person can be admissible as evidence against another.
