Kelly Khumalo Removed from Tribute To Women Fest Line-up After Calls From Social Media
In a shocking turn of events, award-winning singer Kelly Khumalo has been dropped from the upcoming Tribute To Women festival, leaving fans both surprised and disappointed. The decision came after her name was implicated during the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, reigniting public scrutiny and controversy surrounding her alleged involvement in her ex-boyfriend’s tragic death.
The festival organizers, in a statement released on Monday, acknowledged that Kelly Khumalo is innocent until proven guilty, but expressed their concern for the reputation and integrity of the event. They stated that their decision to remove her from the line-up was aimed at providing Khumalo and her team the necessary time to address the issues arising from the current court proceedings.
The ongoing murder trial has brought forth startling new revelations. Colonel Lambertus Steyn, testifying at the National Cold Case Investigative Unit, disclosed that a SIM swap was carried out in October 2014, and eight calls were made from the swapped number to the cellphone of Meyiwa’s girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo. This testimony has once again put Khumalo in the spotlight and fueled speculation about her involvement in the case.
Additionally, it was revealed that one of the accused had been in contact with Khumalo on multiple occasions before Meyiwa’s tragic death. These disclosures have only intensified public interest in the case and have left fans stunned.
While Khumalo’s management remained tight-lipped on the festival’s decision, many supporters had been looking forward to seeing her perform at Tribute To Women 2023. Nonetheless, the festival will go ahead with an impressive line-up featuring talented artists such as Mafikizolo, Sjava, Amanda Black, and Kabza De Small.
The situation has undoubtedly taken a toll on Kelly Khumalo’s career and reputation. Despite her talent and accolades, the dark cloud of suspicion continues to loom over her, affecting her professional opportunities. The unfolding court proceedings are not only affecting her festival bookings but also impacting her relationship with her fans and the entertainment industry.
As the court case unfolds, the spotlight on Kelly Khumalo shows no signs of dimming. For now, the singer will have to deal with the fallout of being dropped from the festival and the continued scrutiny surrounding her alleged involvement in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case. As we await further developments, the truth behind this tragic event remains shrouded in uncertainty, leaving many to question the fate of those involved.
