Kelly Khumalo's sister, singer Zandie Gumede has broken her silence on the murder of footballer Senzo Meyiwa.
Senzo, who was Kelly Khumalo's boyfriend, was killed in October 2014 at her family home in Vosloorus. Those in the house at the time of the murder were Kelly, her sister Zandie, her mother Ntombi, her son Christian, Senzo's friends Tumelo and Mthoko and Longwe Twala.
Meyiwa's murder sparked a years-long investigation and countless theories.
Zandie believes the evidence suggests the killers were targeting Kelly, not Senzo.
“A lot of people have their theories, so this is my theory — whether I'm right or wrong, this is my theory. When these people came into the house they were not there to kill Senzo,” she said in an interview on Gagasi FM.
“They are hitmen. If they were directed to kill Senzo they would have got in there and shot him and finished him and made sure, but they did not do that. When Longwe pushed this guy aside they did not go after Longwe but when Kelly went into the room they followed her. So any person will understand these people were there for Kelly.”
