"I wonder what she told her mother regarding her communicating with Senzo’s killers."

@DollyBy2 commented:

"What muthi she's using? Or did she get a snake? Senzo's murder case is still waiting for a true, real testimony, many lost lives, careers, work and hopes! I wonder how many are under her payroll for this delay, without even a temptation to call her to the court unless the government also fell in!"

What happened to Senzo Meyiwa?

Senzo Meyiwa was shot dead at Kelly Khumalo's home with her and other celebrities present on 26 October 2014. The murder of the soccer star has been ongoing for years, after several suspects were arrested. The Senzo Meyiwa trial faced various delays, which frustrated many South Africans eager for justice for the Orlando Pirates star.

Kelly Khumalo has been frequently named during the murder case, as many people have questioned why she has not appeared in court. The songstress's sister, Zandie, appeared in court during the trial to give her testimony. Kelly's sibling pointed fingers at Senzo Myiwa's wife, Mandisa Mkhize. Senzo's romantic relationship with Kelly Khumalo overlapped with his marriage.
