The nation still remembers the shock and grief that followed the tragic death of Bafana Bafana captain and Orlando Pirates Football Club goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

Over 10 years later, the case remains a mystery, with new revelations emerging, sparking both hope and scepticism. A question remains - will these latest claims be the breakthrough the case needs, or are they just another twist in a long road to justice?

Kelly Khumalo responded to Advocate Malesela Teffo's claims that she accidentally shot her deceased ex-boyfriend, Senzo Meyiwa, during an attempted robbery at her home in Vosloorus, Gauteng, in 2014.
On Thursday, July 17, 2025, Advocate Teffo was a guest on Podcast & Chill with MacG. There, he made allegations about singer Kelly Khumalo in connection with the Senzo Meyiwa case.
According to Teffo, an eyewitness will testify that Kelly Khumalo pulled the trigger, resulting in Meyiwa's death.
He further alleged that Longwe Twala—who was romantically involved with Kelly's sister, Zandile Khumalo —caused Senzo Meyiwa's death.
Teffo claimed that Longwe brought a gun over to Kelly's place, where Kelly, Zandile, Senzo, and two of Senzo's friends were relaxing together following his unanswered calls by Zandile, which angered him, resulting in him suspecting that Senzo was trying to connect one of his friends with Zandile. Teffo further alleged that Longwe went over to Kelly's house carrying his father's unlicensed 38 revolver firearm to intimidate them, but amidst everything, the firearm ended up in Kelly's hands, resulting in her allegedly accidentally shooting Meyiwa in his chest.
Kelly Khumalo took to her Instagram account to respond to the allegations.
'Enough is enough, it stops here, and it stops today. I am not going to be diplomatic about this; I'm not going to release press statements, I'm not going to waste my money hiring lawyers to speak on my behalf, udoti nje udoti (rubbish is rubbish). If you strongly believe that I am capable of what you're accusing me of, very simple; come and get me, it's that simple.
'I'm not above the law, but I think I'm at a point where I've had enough of you people dragging my name through the mud; it stops now. Your stupid humiliation ritual that you have been performing about me over the years, enough. If you feel that I'm the woman that you're coming after, simple, come and get me. Akekho umuntu engimesabayo (I'm not afraid of no one), till then; back off,' she said.
