Kelly Khumalo Exposes Senzo Meyiwa’s Mother and Her Family
In the highly anticipated first episode of Season 3 of the Showmax Original reality series “Life With Kelly Khumalo,” South African singer Kelly Khumalo addressed her tumultuous relationship with the family of the late Senzo Meyiwa, the renowned soccer player.The episode featured a candid conversation between Kelly and her best friend, Wanda Baloyi, in which they discussed the challenges she faced with her in-laws.Kelly Khumalo didn’t mince her words when she described her in-laws as “the sh*ttiest in-laws ever.” She claimed that her mother-in-law had resorted to muti (traditional African medicine) to harm her. Despite this, Kelly asserted that she was spiritually untouchable. She stated, “I am a child of the Gods. If you remove me, it comes back to you.” She added that no harm could befall her spiritually, and any weapon aimed at her would ultimately rebound on the one who wielded it.
The discussion took a dramatic turn when Wanda Baloyi commented on the feud between Kelly and the Meyiwa family, suggesting that Kelly’s daughter, Tingo, might not have a relationship with her paternal family as a result. Kelly revealed that they never liked her daughter and that the Meyiwa family had denied Tingo as Senzo’s child. She emphasized that Tingo shouldn’t have a relationship with them.
According to Kelly, the Meyiwa family’s motives were financially driven. She suggested that they never truly loved Senzo but saw him as their “cash cow.” She recounted an incident when Senzo passed away, and his mother’s immediate concern was about who would provide for them. Kelly criticized their priorities, stating, “Your son is dead, the only thing you are thinking about is food?”
Kelly further revealed that Senzo used to financially support his family to the point of financial hardship, a role that she had to take over at times. She mentioned that the Meyiwa family had benefited from her financial support in the past and were resentful of the fact that she survived while Senzo did not.
