Zandile Khumalo, the sister of songbird Kelly Khumalo, has said she was not involved in the killing of her sibling’s ex lover, the late South African football icon Senzo Meyiwa.
Meyiwa was fatally shot in the chest when two intruders allegedly entered the family home of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, in Vosloorus in October 2014 while he was relaxing with her and other friends.
Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Nkani Ntuli are standing trial for the murder of the Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana footballer.
Writing on social media, Zandile doubled down on her past assertion that Meyiwa’s killing was arranged by his wife.
In a recent interview, the singer expressed her suspicions about Senzo’s wife, Mandisa.
“I was never part of any planning or masterminding the killing of Senzo if there ever was something like that,” she wrote.
“My stance has always been clear: mina ukuthi ngisola bani [who I suspect], and when my suspicions are without any doubt proven to be wrong, I will sincerely apologise to her because my suspicions are not personal and do not come from a place of malice, but I just wanted to make sure that police leave no stone unturned.”
Zandile went on to say she did not believe that her sister was capable of murder.
“Anyone, and I mean anyone that was involved in masterminding Senzo’s death; if ever there was any masterminding, I want them behind bars.
“[I’m talking about the mastermind only because] I am 200% sure that those that are in the dock are the actual killers].
“So whether it is someone unknown to me, my family member, or even Senzo’s family member, if it is proven beyond any reasonable doubt that they are involved in planning Senzo’s killing, they must be arrested,” she wrote.
