Singer Kelly Khumalo can’t wait for her day in court so she can finally be free from public scrutiny.
Shocking allegations that Khumalo is the one who pulled the trigger, killing her former boyfriend were levelled against her.
Through her lawyer, Khumalo has rubbished the allegations made by Advocate Malesela Teffo on Wednesday, 1 June, where he named Kelly Khumalo as the person who shot and killed Senzo.
Calling it a “mistake”, Teffo said the defence has a key eyewitness who can testify and corroborate his argument.
Khumalo’s attorney, Magdalene Moonsamy, has called Teffo’s allegations intimidation and defamation, saying it has publicly prejudiced her client.
Moonsamy further accuses Adv. Teffo of character assassination, of not just Khumalo but her personally.
Kelly Khumalo who was in a relationship with Meyiwa in 2014 who is the father of her daughter. Meyiwa was killed in an alleged robbery at Khumalo’s family home in Vosloorus.
She has over the years endured intense public scrutiny for her possible involvement or knowledge about Meyiwa’s murder.
Can’t wait for her day in court
Earlier this week, Khumalo spoke out about the public backlash she’s been subjected to since Meyiwa’s murder trial resumed.
In a radio interview, Kelly Khumalo said she was waiting for the day people hear her voice.
“When the time is right, and when God allows, then they will hear my voice. So, whatever noise that they are making has absolutely nothing to do with me.
When I’m needed, and when the time is right, the world will hear my voice. They will not hear my voice when they feel they should.”
