Kelly Khumalo has sent a warning to Advocate Malesela Teffo to refrain from bringing up her name during his interview on the Podcast and Achill. The singer and traditional healer has been roped into the death of the late soccer player, Senzo Meyiwa, her boyfriend.
The former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper was murdered on 26 October 2014, while visiting Kelly’s mother’s house in Vosloorus. Five men are facing charges in the high-profile murder trial, which has dragged on for several years.
In 2002, Teffo was struck off the roll after being found guilty of misconduct.
KELLY KHUMALO SLAMS ADVOCATE TEFFO
In a video message posted on Instagram, Kelly Khumalo warns Advocate Teffo, who has been vocal in accusing her of being behind Senzo Meyiwa’s death.
Speaking directly to the outspoken former lawyer, she sai,: “Enough is enoug. Itt stops here and it stops toda., I’m not going to be diplomatic about it, release press statement,s or waste money hiring lawyers to speak on my behalf.
“If you strongly believe that I am capable of what you accuse me of, it’s very simple: come get me. I’m not above the law”.
She added, “I’ve had enough of you people dragging my name through the mud. Till then, back off.”
Kelly Khumalo captioned the clip: “From being dragged in that dirty court to sketchy podcasts? You never cease to amaze me.”
WHAT DID HE SAY?
On Thursday, 17 July, Advocate Teffo appeared in a tell-all interview on Podcast and Chill.
In it, he shared his theories on Senzo Meyiwa’s death and high-profile trial.
According to Teffo, Senzo died from a bullet, accidentally fired by Kelly Khumalo during a heated argument. At the time, Kelly allegedly confronted the footballer over her suspicions that he was having an affair with her sister Zandie Khumalo, who was dating Longwe Twala.
He said: “I long state further under oath… it was a fatal mistake, Kelly Kumala shot and killed Senzo instantly.”
However, Teffo – who defended four of the five men accused – bizarrely added that Senzo Meyiwa’s death was a “sacrifice”
Teffo – a former police officer – then went on a wild rant, accusing high-ranking police of running a criminal syndicate, involving ministers and national commissioners. He also touched on his imprisonment for the assault of a female police officer and being bribed to drop out of the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial.
