South African singer Kelly Khumalo has spoken out forcefully against fresh allegations linking her to the 2014 murder of her former partner, Senzo Meyiwa. In a powerful video message shared on social media, Kelly declared she would no longer tolerate being used as a scapegoat in the long-running case.
Senzo Meyiwa, a former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, was fatally shot at Khumalo’s family home in Vosloorus on October 26, 2014. He was reportedly in the house with Kelly, her sister Zandie Khumalo, their mother Ntombi, Kelly’s son Christian, and three of Senzo’s friends when the incident occurred.
Teffo’s Explosive Claims Reignite Controversy
The case returned to headlines after disbarred advocate Malesela Teffo appeared on Podcast and Chill, where he accused Kelly of accidentally shooting Senzo while attempting to hand over a gun. Teffo also alleged there was a warrant for her arrest — claims that have not been confirmed by any official authority.
In response, Kelly released a passionate video on Instagram, directly addressing Teffo and others who have repeatedly linked her to the murder.
“Enough is enough. It stops here and it stops today,” she declared.
“I Fear No Man” – Kelly Claps Back
Khumalo, often referred to as The Voice of Africa, criticized what she called a “humiliation ritual” that began in court and has now spread to “sketchy podcasts.”
“I’m not going to be diplomatic about this. I’m not going to release press statements. I’m not going to waste my money hiring lawyers to speak on my behalf,” she said.
Kelly expressed exhaustion over being the target of public shame, saying she will no longer stay silent while her name is dragged through the mud.
“If you strongly believe I am capable of what you are accusing me of, very simple — come and get me. I’m not above the law.”
Public Divided as Case Remains Unresolved
Despite nearly a decade of investigations, arrests, and court delays, the Meyiwa case remains unsolved. Kelly’s latest video has drawn mixed reactions — some applauding her for speaking out, while others insist more questions need to be answered.
She ended her message with a bold challenge:
“If you feel I am the woman you are coming after, come and get me. I fear no man. Until then, back off.”
