"I'm doing great" - Kelly Khumalo opens up about the controversy in her life

In 2020, Kelly Khumalo's lawyer set the record straight after Khumalo was named in a leaked charge sheet for her apparent connection to the murder of Senzo Meyiwa. 

In 2014, soccer player Senzo Meyiwa was reportedly shot and killed in the presence of Khumalo and her mother and sister. 

Magdalene Moonsamy, Khumalo's attorney, told eNCA, Khumalo has not been charged, has no connections to any of the arrested suspects and has fully cooperated with the police investigation.
