Kelly Khumalo’s tight concert security raises eyebrows amid allegations by former Meyiwa trial advocate

Singer Kelly Khumalo’s security beef-up leaves netizens wondering what’s happening.

The songstress was recently seen performing at the Dundee July event in KwaZulu-Natal, where her bodyguard was keeping a close eye on her.

Khumalo has never shied away from controversy, including her connection to the unclear death of former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, and her self-proclaimed role as a healer.

Recently, the songstress, known for her powerful vocals and captivating stage presence, was seen performing one of her gospel hits, “Esphambanweni”, with a male figure dressed in all black keeping a close eye on her.

An unseen attendee threw a can of alcohol at her while she was performing, and her bodyguard reacted swiftly by kicking the can off stage before Khumalo could step on it.

While some fans assumed the added security measure was due to concerns about her safety after new claims made by Advocate Malesela Teffo, a former trial defence advocate for the Meyiwa murder case.

Khumalo’s history with controversy, including her connection to the tragic death of former Meyiwa, has kept her in the limelight for quite some years.

This incident has also had a lasting impact on her career.

The circumstances surrounding Meyiwa’s death, which occurred at Khumalo’s Vosloorus home with the singer present, led to widespread speculation and many people questioning her involvement.

Additionally, the security beef-up comes after Teffo went on a podcast tour to reveal some eyebrow-raising details about Khumalo’s involvement in Meyiwa’s death. 

He was recently a guest on Mac G’s Podcast and Chill show, as well as the Moya podcast, where he touched on her alleged involvement in the murder.

Teffo made shocking claims about Khumalo on the Podcast and Chill show, alleging that the singer shot and killed Meyiwa, with whom she also shares a child. 

Meyiwa was murdered at Khumalo’s home in 2014, in an incident initially thought to be a botched robbery. However, Teffo disputed this narrative during a podcast interview.

“If they say it was a robbery gone wrong, how can that be when the people coming to rob you have an intention? If they shoot, you can't say it was culpable homicide. If they shoot to kill, the result can't be culpable murder; it would be murder,” he said.

Khumalo has been linked to Meyiwa’s murder case multiple times, and Advocate Teffo’s recent allegations on Podcast and Chill have reignited speculation around her involvement.

Since then, she has come out to defend herself multiple times, debunking the allegations as baseless. The singer came out once again to address Tefo in response to all the claims he made about her during his podcast tour revelations.

Khumalo posted a video on Instagram, citing that she’s not intimidated by anyone and challenged those who think she's guilty to take action against her or “back off”.

The singer captioned the video: “From being dragged in that dirty court to sketchy podcasts? You never cease to amaze me. It’s quite simple, though. If you strongly believe that I am capable of what you are accusing me of, come and get me and stop playing games! Till then, back off.”
