"She doesn’t deserve this much hate."

mlindie responded:

"She failed Meyiwa's family. If she really loved Senzo, why didn't she tell the family exactly what happened on that day? This is painful because she has answers."

SMM replied:

"She's very talented, but has a LOT of darkness hovering over her because of her ways."

Kamvalethu mentioned:

"She’s busy singing gospel songs, but she is not even telling the truth or providing clarity as to what happened to Senzo."

Debbie Dee stated:

"Those who say they love Kelly because it wasn't their child who was killed, if you're just a parent, wouldn't be saying such. The girl's (Kelly) story didn't go down well. She should be telling the truth, if she loved Senzo, I'm shocked."

Lollipop wrote:

"To those who were following the case, everyone in the house wrote an affidavit telling how Senzo was killed, including Kelly, so if there is anyone who saw things differently, go to the Pretoria High Court and give evidence or better truth; courts don't work on hogwash and are not personal."
