Kelly Khumalo On Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial
Kelly Khumalo is an integral part of the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial as the incident happened in her presence at her family’s house in Vosloorus.
It is alleged that the killer is known to Khumalo and everyone present at the shooting. Moreover, Eye Witness News reports that an eyewitness told the court that Kelly was the one who shot Senzo by mistake.
Likewise, the most common theory is that Kelly and her family have remained silent on naming Seznzo’s killer despite knowing the perpetrator.
The entire nation has gone into a frenzy as the court case has lingered long while the truth is not in the light.
Meanwhile, Kelly and her sister Zandie’s decision of signing an R22 million deal with Netflix to produce a docu-series about their version of the murder has garnered criticism.
Kelly has also come under fire for promoting her musical works despite being embroiled in the murder controversy this year.
