Johannesburg – November 17, 2024: Despite the recent courtroom drama surrounding her alleged involvement in the death of former boyfriend Senzo Meyiwa, South African singer Kelly Khumalo has found reasons to celebrate.
This past weekend, the songstress marked two significant milestones: her 40th birthday and her official graduation as an inyanga (traditional healer).
Kelly Khumalo Embraces Her Spiritual Calling
Speaking to Ukhozi FM, Kelly Khumalo opened up about her journey to becoming a certified inyanga, a path she claims was guided by divine intervention. “I could’ve lost my life due to a lot of things, but God saved me,” Kelly confessed. “So, I have so much to be grateful for.”
The singer, known for her bold and unapologetic personality, revealed that this spiritual calling has been a long time coming. “After 15 years of searching and trying to figure out who I am, today I’m finally graduating and am a certified inyanga,” she shared.
Kelly described the spiritual journey as one that required extensive training in various forms, including traditional practices like water rituals, connecting with nature, intense prayer, and exploring her ancestral roots. She emphasized, “It’s a universal gift. It took this long for me to make sense of it. Understanding where I come from helps me know where I’m headed.”
A Grand Celebration Filled with Tradition
Khumalo’s celebration was a blend of traditional rituals and modern glamour. Held at the elegant Suitability Gardens in Johannesburg, the event was curated by celebrity planner Nono Events. The venue was adorned with cultural elements, featuring feathers, animal prints, and symbolic décor that paid homage to her spiritual transformation.
On her Instagram, Kelly shared glimpses of the joyous occasion. Photos showed her dressed in stunning traditional attire alongside her three children, who were also dressed to match the theme of the event. The singer’s posts were flooded with messages of support from fans who praised her for embracing her calling despite her personal challenges.
Facing Accusations in the Senzo Meyiwa Case
While Kelly Khumalo was celebrating her newfound spiritual path, she continues to face allegations in the high-profile murder trial of former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa. Just this week, her name was brought up in court as a potential mastermind behind the tragic 2014 incident. However, Kelly has maintained her innocence throughout the legal proceedings, urging the public to let the courts decide her fate.
Despite the ongoing legal battle, Khumalo’s supporters have rallied behind her, commending her strength in embracing her spiritual path during such a tumultuous time. “Not everyone could smile through what she’s going through,” commented one follower on social media. “More power to you, Kelly.”
A Journey of Resilience
Kelly Khumalo’s story is one of resilience, balancing a high-profile career, motherhood, and now, her responsibilities as a traditional healer. As she continues to navigate the legal storm, her spiritual graduation marks a new chapter in her life, one she believes will bring healing and guidance not just to herself but to others.
As the legal proceedings unfold, fans and the public will be watching closely to see how Khumalo’s journey, both in court and in her newfound spiritual life, progresses. For now, Kelly remains focused on her healing journey, leaning on her spirituality as a source of strength amid life’s challenges.
