According to reports, Senzo Meyiwa’s widow, Mandisa Mkhize, is set to wed again, more than a decade after his brutal murder.
Just months after their wedding, the Orlando Pirates goalkeeper left his wife for his mistress, singer Kelly Khumalo.
In 2014, Senzo was gunned down, allegedly by masked men, at the Vosloorus home of Kelly’s mother. His death continues to make headlines via an ongoing murder trial.
SENZO MEYIWA’S WIDOW TO WED AGAIN?
According to Zimoja, Mandisa Mkhize is ready to walk down the aisle again after her 2013 wedding to the late Senzo Meyiwa.
Mandisa – who is the mother of one of Senzo’s daughters, Nana – is set to move on with another man. And the Meyiwa family have allegedly given her their blessing.

A source told the publication of Senzo’s mother, Ntombifuthi: “She still calls Mandisa her Makoti (bride). She feels let down that Senzo found love elsewhere just before their white wedding.
“Senzo had paid the full lobola for Mandisa. He even did umembeso for Mandisa’s family”.
The South African reached out to Mandisa Mkhize for comment. None was received at the time of publishing.
WHO IS MANDISA MKHIZE?
Mandisa Mkhize – who wed Senzo Meyiwa in 2013 – has clearly moved on with her life, if her Instagram account is anything to go by
She regularly posts pics of her socialising with friends, enjoying tropical holidays, and wearing designer clothes.
According to a local blog, Mandisa owns several luxury cars, including a VW Golf GTI, a BMW, and a Mercedes Benz GLE.
Mandisa and Senzo are also the parents of daughter Nana Meyiwa, one of the soccer star’s four known children.

Nana was just a toddler when her father was allegedly murdered. Nana – who is her father’s double – recently turned 16 years old.
Although Mandisa Mkhize claims she has “forgiven” her late husband for her affair with Kelly Khumalo, it hasn’t always been that way.
Last year, Kelly’s sister, Zandie Khumalo, testified during his murder trial that Mandisa had assaulted the singer after Senzo Meyiwa was shot and killed in October 2014.
She said during her testimony of the incident: “Mandisa kept saying ‘you have killed him,’ and we separated them.”
She added: “I told Mandisa that this was not the time.”
A year earlier, Kelly and Zandie were both arrested on charges of assaulting Mandisa. According to IOL, the incident occurred on the side of the road of the M1 South highway.
