Kelly Khumalo, a gospel singer from South Africa, has been accused of telling someone to kill her boyfriend, Senzo Meyiwa, who was a football star at the time. This information was given in court. In 2014, Mr Meyiwa got shot while trying to keep Ms Khumalo safe from robbers with guns. In 2020, five people were taken into custody by the police. Investigator Bongani Gininda said in court that Ms Khumalo planned a contract killing. Ms Khumalo's representative told the BBC that they believe in the legal system. They said that Ms Khumalo couldn't say anything but her lawyers are working on the problem. The trial of the people accused of killing Mr Meyiwa, who used to be the national football team captain and a goalkeeper for Orlando Pirates, has captured the country's attention. Ms Khumalo was first thought to be involved after police papers were leaked in 2020 when the men were arrested. At that time, her lawyer told the local media that the gospel singer didn't know about the five people. Mr Gininda said in court that one of the suspects admitted in a statement that Ms Khumalo told them to kill Mr Meyiwa. The main investigator also said that Ms Khumalo was connected to the suspects through their cell phones. Last year, Colonel Lambertus Steyn from the National Cold Case Investigation Unit said that Ms Khumalo had talked to one of the accused at least two times before Mr Meyiwa was killed. Also, Ms Khumalo had a picture of money in a see-through bag on her phone. The same picture was also on one of the suspect's phones. The court is figuring out if the confession statements can be used as evidence. Two of the people accused say they were forced to confess. Ms Khumalo and Mr Meyiwa had a baby. But Mr Gininda said the two had a disagreement. He said that Ms Khumalo really didn't like him and wanted to make him go away. He said that messages between Ms Khumalo and her sister from early 2013 showed that she wanted to get rid of him.
