The relationship between late football star Senzo Meyiwa and singer Kelly Khumalo has long been shrouded in controversy. In a recent twist, Senzo Meyiwa’s brother, Sifiso Meyiwa, revealed shocking details about Senzo’s intentions with Kelly Khumalo. According to Sifiso, Senzo had confided in his family that his involvement with Kelly was meant to be a brief affair, not a serious relationship. Sifiso stated that Senzo described the relationship as a “hit and run” encounter.
Senzo’s Alleged Intentions
Sifiso Meyiwa claims that his brother never intended to pursue a long-term relationship with Kelly Khumalo. “He told us that this thing with Kelly wasn’t going to last,” Sifiso reportedly said, adding that Senzo seemed clear about wanting to return to his wife, Mandisa Mkhize. According to Sifiso, Senzo had expressed that Kelly was merely a passing phase in his life.This revelation has sparked renewed public interest, as many have speculated about the nature of Senzo and Kelly’s relationship leading up to his tragic death in 2014. Senzo Meyiwa, who was a goalkeeper for Orlando Pirates and the South African national team, was fatally shot while visiting Kelly Khumalo’s house. The case remains unsolved, but Kelly’s name has consistently come up as people question her role in the events leading to the shooting.
Kelly Khumalo’s Response
In stark contrast to Senzo Meyiwa’s Brother Sifiso’s claims, Kelly Khumalo reportedly had different expectations for their relationship. She allegedly responded to Senzo’s remarks by stating that he would not treat her in a casual manner. According to Sifiso’s account, Kelly was determined to make the relationship more serious and revealed that she had given Senzo a korobela.
A korobela is a love potion commonly used in African traditional practices to ensure that a partner remains deeply infatuated and committed. It is believed to strengthen romantic relationships by making one partner emotionally and physically dependent on the other.
The Unanswered Questions
Kelly Khumalo has denied any involvement in Senzo’s death and has maintained that their relationship was genuine. The mention of a korobela has added another layer of complexity to the story, as it opens the door to debates about traditional love rituals and their influence on relationships.
While Senzo’s family insists that his relationship with Kelly was never meant to be serious, Kelly’s use of korobela suggests otherwise. These allegations continue to fuel discussions about what really happened during the couple’s time together and what role, if any, these dynamics played in the events leading up to Senzo’s untimely death.
