The song features rapper Zakwe and Imithandazo hitmaker, Mthunzi, and like Asine, was released amid the growing speculation that she had something to do with her late former lover's killing:

"Nkosi Mangingakhohlwa. @zakwesa, @mthunzisa, @mondlingc we did it! Thank you, BoMakhi."

Kelly Khumalo opens for consultations

Having recently honoured the call to be a traditional healer, Kelly says she's now open to sharing her gift and helping those in need.

She joins a growing list of celebrity sangomas in South Africa, including Gogo Maweni, Skhotheni, and the now-retired sangoma, Palesa Madisakwane.

Briefly News shared the singer's announcement to officially open for bookings and offer spiritual consultations - talk about multiple streams of income!

However, the news was met with mixed reactions online as many netizens were seemingly sceptical and even apprehensive about consulting with Kelly Khumalo, with others throwing some serious shade over the Senzo Meyiwa drama:

TheeCityzen posted:

"Someone will still go for consultation to someone who sheds her skin."

BekwaSteyn said:

"I'm not consulting yhoooo."

"She is good. Apparently, she killed Senzo, now washed herself with muthi, postponed Senzo's case to 2095 using muthi."

Elderly fan cries after meeting Kelly Khumalo

In more Kelly Khumalo updates, Briefly News shared online reactions to an elderly woman bawling her eyes out after meeting the singer.

The heartwarming moment was met with criticism from social media users who judged the woman for crying for Kelly.

Meanwhile, fans said they would have reacted the same way as the woman, which further proves just how much of a following of die-hard supporters Kelly truly has in the country, despite her name always plastered on the tabloids:

StinaTsaps said:

“I would cry too if I met her one day as well. This woman has gone through a lot, and her voice is so overwhelming. I love this lady so much."

“Kelly Khumalo is a great lady. The problem is the murder accusations here and there. Other than that, she's fine."
