Sfiso also slammed Kelly's claims that Senzo had abandoned his wife, Mandisa Mkhize, for her.

"Kelly was also aware that Senzo is married and had a stable family with his wife, but she maneuvered her way into Senzo's life. It is not true that he dumped his wife for her."

He further accused Kelly Khumalo of being a gold digger and of having been a bad influence on his brother while he was still alive.

Kelly and the Meyiwa family have been pointing fingers at each other when it comes to Senzo's finances. Kelly has also come out claiming that Senzo's family never loved him genuinely. She claimed they only loved him because he had been feeding them. Kelly said while speaking to her friend Wanda Baloyi in the new season of Life with Kelly:

“That family did not love Senzo. They never loved him, he was their cash cow. You know the first thing that, that woman [his mother] said when Senzo passed on? She said, who is going to feed us?" said Kelly, speaking to her friend Wanda Baloyi in the new season of Life with Kelly.

Fans took to their timelines to react to Kelly's claims.

"Kelly Khumalo is spitting on Senzo Meyiwa’s grave now. The disrespect is just too much!"

@_ShaunKeyz added:

"Maybe people who don't like soccer didn't know Senzo but for Kelly Khumalo to say "NOBODY knew... that's where she got it all wrong, because some of us knew him before."

@zalikiwoee said:

"Kelly Khumalo is sick for using Senzo Meyiwa's trial and murder as promo for her reality show."
