Judging by the public demeanor of musician Kelly Khumalo, there has to be another major twist in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case.
Otherwise how else do you explain her laissez faire attitude about being implicated in the murder of her boyfriend and national footballer Senzo Meyiwa?
Bombshell after bombshell of court submissions have placed her at the heart of the crime, with some of the accused saying the killing was a hit.
The court has also heard submissions that it was Khumalo who was playing with a loaded gun when it accidentally fired the shot that killed her lover.
Police even drafted a charge sheet in which Khumalo was being charged with murder. The idea was thrown out the window but it highlights the dark cloud above her head.
Meyiwa was shot dead on 26 October 2014 at Khumalo’s family home in Vosloorus.
What I find most interesting in this whole matter is how Khumalo has pushed her career to new heights and continues to live her fabulous life almost unfazed by the developments in the court.
This week she shared a series of videos with her 2.4 million Instagram followers on removing hair “especially down under”.
The singer admitted to being excited about her laser hair removal which removed hair on her chin, her armpits and her private parts.
“It’s bye bye beard. Bye bye testosterone. For two weeks I couldn’t shave my beard, the most painful thing ever. I couldn’t even tweeze it out,” she said in her post.
The beautiful genuine melody of her laughter gives off a vibe of a person who is not thinking about wearing orange overalls.
During this most complex period in her professional life, Khumalo has built a business empire, which includes music, public performances and television – a reality TV series now on season three.
A statement from Showmax suggests the award-winning reality series Life with Kelly Khumalo gives details about her history of dating which includes her first child’s daddy Jub Jub and Meyiwa, the father of her second child.
So, since Khumalo is not even an accused in the case and the police seem to have mishandled evidence, people who are driven by schadenfreude (pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune) will have a long way to wait.
