ONGOING CASE
However, not everyone is on board with the idea of attending Kelly’s gospel explosion show. The main point of backlash is the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa case. The case has cast a long shadow over the singer’s reputation. Social media users wasted no time in expressing their concerns and objections. Netizens said they cannot support an event featuring Khumalo in light of the new revelations in the high-profile case.
The mention of a court session taking place nearby while Kelly performs adds to the heightened emotions and tension surrounding the event. Sibusiso Encore’s statement suggests that there is an underlying feeling of injustice associated with the case, which is fueling the public’s negative reaction towards the singer.
