Singer Kelly Khumalo claims she acted in self defense when she and her sangoma boyfriend got into a physical altercation shortly before the Awards.
“First and foremost, that man is not my partner. We just had a brief fling that turned sour.”
In her version of the story, she claimed she wasn’t angry because Bhaka refused to leave his wife, but because he harassed her and wouldn’t leave her alone.
“He came to my hotel to smooth things over by offering to borrow me his car for the Metro FM Awards. He tried to touch my bum and that didn’t sit well with me. I told him to leave me alone and he said I was rude,” Khumalo told City Press.
“He pushed me against the wall and said he would shoot me and put me next to Senzo’s [Meyiwa] body.”
“I poked him by accident as I was trying to push him away from me. He was the one who attacked me when I asked him to leave the room and he refused,” she said.
Kelly also speculates that he was upset about the fact that a woman as beautiful as herself doesn’t want anything to do with him
“I’m still in love with Senzo – I can’t pretend,” she added, referring to late boyfriend Senzo Meyiwa, who was shot dead while visiting her at her family’s home last year.
“The man (Bhaka) is a publicity junky and would do anything to get publicity.”
