KELLY KHUMALO ALLEGEDLY WENT TO A WITCH DOCTOR FOR CLEANSING

Evidence under oath indicates that the murder of Senzo Meyiwa was a hit, not a robbery gone wrong. The new confessions before the courts have allegedly implicated Kelly Khumalo as a person of interest.

However, the court also heard that Kelly Khumalo subsequently went to a witch doctor for cleansing, just like the other accused in the matter. Against the allegations, she has yet to share her side of the story.

This is not the first time the actress has been accused of allegedly masterminding Meyiwa’s murder. In 2022, Colonel Lambertus Steyn testified before the courts Khumalo was in contact with the accused.
