Women’s festival drops Kelly Khumalo amid Meyiwa trial
Women’s festival drops Kelly Khumalo amid Meyiwa trial. Kelly Khumalo has been removed from the line-up for a Women’s Day event.
The Bazokhumula singer, who was the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper’s girlfriend when he was killed in her presence on 26 October 2014, has been removed from the all-star line-up of the ‘A Tribute To Women’ festival.
MEYIWA MURDER TRIAL
The Meyiwa murder trial went into its third week on Monday, with State’s fourth witness, Colonel Lambertus Steyn, being cross-examined.
The soccer star was gunned down at Kelly’s mother’s house in Vosloorus in what is believed to be a botched robbery. Seven adults were present that fateful night. These include Kelly; her mother, Ntombi Khumalo; her sister, Zandie; Zandie’s boyfriend at the time, Longwe Thwala; the later player’s friends, Mthokozisi Thwala and Tumelo Madlala; as well as Kelly’s two children.
FESTIVAL REMOVES KELLY KHUMALO FROM LINE-UP
In a statement released by the organisers on Monday, 31 July, Kelly will no longer be performing at the daytime family-friendly picnic style event taking place on 12 August at Emmarentia Botanical Gardens, Johannesburg.
Although they state that “we respect the legal processes and wish to indicate that Ms Kelly Khumalo is innocent until proven otherwise”, they also add that they can’t turn a blind eye to the concerns.
