The family of slain former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa have given up hope of ever meeting his daughter with afro-pop star Kelly Khumalo. Kelly’s daughter with Senzo was a few months old when her father was murdered at her maternal grandmother’s home in Vosloorus in October 2014.
For years, the family which does not see eye to eye with the Asinne singer, have tried to reach out to her but she does not answer or return their calls. According to Senzo’s family, they only met Thingo once when her father brought her to her grandparents’ home in Umlazi, near Durban, together with Kelly’s mother.
A relative of the Meyiwas told ZiMoja that Kelly was given space when she told the family she was not going to attend his funeral at the time. “Family members were still hurt at the time. It’s understandable that she could not bring Thingo to Senzo’s funeral because the whole country blamed his death on her,” the source said.
In an interview on eNCA last year, Senzo’s brother Sifiso said that after Senzo’s death, their sister Nokuthula, tried reaching out to Kelly but she allegedly did not pick up. Sifiso also said that the family, together with their mother’s sister, tried to call the Khumalos but they would not hear it.
