South African singer Zandile “Zandie” Khumalo Gumede made the bombshell claim that Senzo Meyiwa’s friend Tumelo was at her mom’s house for the purpose of discussing lobola negotiations for her sister Kelly Khumalo the night the former Bafana Bafana captain was killed – in an interview with eNCA on Monday 18 July.

KELLY’S LOBOLA NEGOTIATIONS?

Zandie Khumalo Gumede sat down for her first public interview with eNCA’s Slindelo Masikane – about Senzo Meyiwa’s murder which aired on Monday 18 July. 

Zandie is the sister of singer Kelly Khumalo, Senzo’s girlfriend at the time. Kelly and Senzo have a daughter named Thingo together. Senzo is believed to have been killed in a botched robbery at Kelly’s mom’s home in Vosloorus, Gauteng on 26 October 2014. So, who was at the house that night?

  • Kelly
  • Zandie
  • Her then-boyfriend Longwe Twala
  • Their mom Nthombi
  • Kelly’s two kids
  • Senzo’s friends – Mthokozisi Thwala and Tumelo Madlala 

Zandie is now claiming at Tumelo was there as Senzo’s representative to discuss the lobola for Kelly. So, this means Senzo wanted to marry the Empini hitmaker. Although, he was already married to Mandisa Mkhize. So, the soccer star may have wanted Kelly to be his second wife, as revealed in the Netflix documentary – Senzo: Murder of a Soccer Star.

“We know Mthoko, we had seen him every now and then. But Tumelo we had met for the first time that day because he was there to discuss the upcoming lobola negotiations for Kelly and would be one of Senzo’s representatives in the discussions,” she said.

ZANDIE THINKS SENZO’S WIFE AND MOTHER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED 

Zandie also expressed that she thinks Mandisa Mkhize and Senzo’s mother should have been investigated. 

“We have done the lie detector test and everything but no one has looked at Mandisa. Why is she not being investigated?” she said.

“Not so long ago Senzo’s mother said on TV that she tried by all means to end their relationship. She even went as far as getting muthi,” she continued.

“Is it even possible that she and daughter-in-law sent a hit. Not necessarily to target Senzo, but to target Kelly,” she added.
