South African singer Zandie Khumalo has once again made it clear that she has no regrets about her stance in the ongoing investigation into the murder of former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper, Senzo Meyiwa.
Despite years of public scrutiny, she has consistently voiced her opinion, even as she and her sister Kelly Khumalo remain in the spotlight.
Zandie recently addressed the ongoing controversy on Instagram, vehemently denying any involvement in Meyiwa’s murder.
In her post, she shared an image of someone questioning whether she would apologise to the nation if Kelly is found guilty, using the opportunity to reaffirm her stance.
She wrote: “Mina I’m not gonna apologise to South Africans for s**t.”
“I never lied under oath. I gave my testimony to the best of my ability and recollection. Mina Zandile Lorraine Khumalo, I was never part of any planning or masterminding yokubulala u Senzo if there ever was something like that.”
This comes weeks after Zandie publicly expressed her belief that Kelly was incapable of orchestrating Senzo’s death, adding that investigators should shift their focus to his ex Mandisa Meyiwa.
“If my suspicions are proven wrong without any doubt, I will sincerely apologise to her because my suspicions are not personal,” Zandie shared.
However, she stressed that any apology would only follow a public clearing of Mandisa’s name.
“Should she be investigated and cleared publicly, not behind closed doors, I will then apologise to her. Until then, ngimile la.”
“I am 200% sure that Kelly had nothing to do with this. She is HIGHLY INCAPABLE of such,” Zandie reiterated.
While Zandie has called for justice for Meyiwa, she has also expressed frustration with public speculation and false narratives.
“We want justice la asidlali,” she declared, urging for substantive proof in the case.
The murder of Senzo Meyiwa in 2014 has gripped South Africa, with numerous twists and turns in the investigation. With the trial live-streamed and trending on social media, the case remains one of the most closely watched in the country.
