Senzo Meyiwa's family lose hope of meeting Kelly Khumalo's daughter Thingo

After years of not seeing eye-to-eye with the South African singer Kelly Khumalo, the late Senzo Meyiwa's family have disclosed that they lost hope of meeting their granddaughter, Thingolwenkosaza.

Late last year, Senzo Meyiwa's brother Sifiso shared that their family is longing to connect with Kelly Khumalo's daughter. Recently, according to ZiMoja, a family relative mentioned that they had hoped that Kelly Khumalo would grant them an opportunity to meet Thingo since it has been 10 long years.

The source explained how the family feels:

"It has been 10 years now, and Senzo's mother Ntombi and his sister Zama are desperate to have a relationship with the girl. All they want is to spend time with Thingo so that she knows her siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. It is unfair for the child to only hear about the Meyiwa family in the media and not spend time with them."

The source also added that Thingo needs to have a relationship with her uncle, Sifiso Meyiwa, so that she can be taught the rituals of her paternal family as she grows up, saying that Senzo's brother is like her father.

Sifiso Meyiwa excludes Kelly from the killers list

In a previous Briefly News story, Senzo's brother eliminated Kelly's name from the killers list, claiming that Longwe Twala's firearm killed the Orlando Pirates goalie.
