‘Enough is enough' — Kelly Khumalo reacts to claim she killed Senzo Meyiwa

The Herald18-07-2025
Singer Kelly Khumalo says she's had enough of being linked to the murder of footballer Senzo Meyiwa.
Senzo, who was Kelly's boyfriend, was killed in October 2014 at her family home in Vosloorus. Those in the house at the time of the murder were Kelly, her sister Zandie, her mother Ntombi, her son Christian and three of Senzo's friends.
In the latest episode of Podcast and Chill, disbarred attorney Malesela Teffo claimed Kelly killed Senzo unintentionally when trying to hand him a gun.
Malesela also brought forth a supposed warrant of arrest for Kelly.
Responding to his claim, Kelly shared a video saying Malesela's claims were part of a humiliation ritual he started in the courtroom and said he was also going on 'sketchy' podcasts.
'Enough is enough. It stops here and it stops today. I'm not going to be diplomatic about this. I'm not going to release press statements, I'm not going to waste my money hiring lawyers to speak on my behalf,' she said.
'If you strongly believe I am capable of what you are accusing me of, very simple, come and get me. I'm not above the law. I'm at a point where I have had enough of people dragging my name through the mud. It stops now. The stupid humiliation rituals you have been performing using me over the years, enough. If you feel I am the woman you are coming after, come and get me. I fear no man. Until then back off.'

State to oppose bail for Kariega kidnapping accused

One of two men arrested by the Hawks in connection with the kidnapping of Theresa Minnie, 73, from her Kariega home last week, appeared in the town's magistrate's court on Tuesday. The 31-year-old faces charges of kidnapping and extortion. His co-accused is expected to make his first court appearance on Wednesday. The police have not yet released the names of the accused due to the sensitivity of the matter. The two men allegedly forced Minnie out of her vehicle on the morning of August 11. She was then bundled into their getaway vehicle and they fled the scene. A ransom demand was later made for her release. Following a week of intense operations, Minnie was released physically unharmed near the Kariega police station on Saturday and reunited with her family. Shortly thereafter, the Hawks arrested two suspects in Gqeberha. During the arrests, the team also confiscated the suspects' vehicles, firearms and a large sum of cash. The state has already indicated that it is opposed to bail. The first accused is expected back in court on Wednesday, when he will appear alongside his co-accused. The Herald

Hawks bust rhino trafficking syndicate linked to 964 horns

The Hawks has cracked a transnational wildlife trafficking syndicate at the centre of one of South Africa's biggest rhino horns fraud schemes. Photo: Supplied The Six suspects — five men aged 49 to 84 and a 60-year-old woman — handed themselves over to the Hawks' wildlife trafficking section in Sunnyside, Pretoria, on Tuesday. They appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on charges of fraud, theft, contravention of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act and possible racketeering and money laundering. The investigation began in 2017 and uncovered a sophisticated scheme in which the suspects allegedly defrauded the department of forestry, fisheries and the environment to secure permits under false pretences, Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Singo said. The permits were used to purchase and sell rhino horn domestically — while illegally funnelling them into Southeast Asian markets. 'The identified fraudulent permits scheme accounts for an estimated 964 rhino horns with an estimated value of millions of rands,' said Singo. Under South African law, domestic trade in rhino horn is legal with valid permits, but international commercial trade is banned under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Singo said investigators uncovered how the department had been 'defrauded by a well-designed scheme' that allowed the syndicate to participate in international illegal markets. Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister 'This complex investigation, which was also supported by the Green Scorpions and the NPA [National Prosecuting Authority], is a powerful demonstration of South Africa's resolve to protect its natural heritage,' he said. 'The illegal trade in rhino horn not only destroys biodiversity but also undermines the rule of law. Let there be no doubt: South Africa will bring the full force of its laws against those who plunder our wildlife. This arrest proves that syndicates cannot escape justice, no matter how complex their schemes.' The minister said the Hawks' breakthrough was evidence of real progress in dismantling international networks responsible for driving rhino poaching. 'We will not rest until we have broken the back of the syndicates operating in our country,' George added.
