For weeks she’d been trending online – and not in a good way – until she proved she’d simply had enough of being trolled and harassed on social media after the abuse spilled over into her real life.
Kelly Khumalo has had to put up with insults, hurtful comments and criticism that she won’t reveal who killed her lover, Senzo Meyiwa, in 2014. And every time someone is murdered, the singer’s name is dragged into it because of the deaths of Senzo and another of her former partners, Prosper Mkwaiwa.
But clearly the abuse is starting to take a toll on the Ngathwala Ngaye singer. Kelly cut short her performance at an EFF rally in Durban in 2019 after thousands in the crowd started heckling her with chants of “Senzo”. Then in an interview with Trending SA, Kelly said she’s not willing to tolerate any more abuse – online and in real life – and plans to tackle the bullies head-on.
