‘If you haven't been in the child's life for many years, you are no longer the father' — Kelly Khumalo's message to absent dads
Kelly Khumalo delivered a hard-hitting Father's Day message when speaking about parenthood. The singer is the mother of three children — her firstborn son Christian from her relationship with Jub Jub, who she has publicly accused of abuse, and her two daughters, Tingo, who she shared with the late soccer star Senzo Meyiwa, and Luna, who she reportedly shared with former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Mthokozisi Yende. Kelly, who has been adamant she would not allow Jub Jub into Christian's life until he turns 18, took to her TikTok to chastise fathers who claim they want to be in their children's lives but have never made an attempt, even legally, to get access. 'Fathers are celebrating the fruits of being fathers, not social media dads who are social media sperm donors, who are only fathers on social media. There is no trace of their existence in their children's lives and their excuse is 'the mother of my children doesn't want me to see the children'. If you haven't been in the child's life for many years you are no longer the father of the child, even if you decide to resurface and take responsibility. You are going to be the uncle. My husband and I will father and mother our children. You will be the uncle.'

Kelly Khumalo Opens Spiritual Consultations Now
Award-winning singer Kelly Khumalo is now officially open for spiritual consultations. Embracing her calling as a traditional healer, she's sharing her journey while continuing to balance music, motherhood, and public scrutiny over the Senzo Meyiwa case. Singer and reality star Kelly Khumalo has stepped into a sacred and deeply personal role, embracing her spiritual calling as a traditional healer. Now known spiritually as Empress Felizwe, she recently announced via social media that she is officially accepting spiritual consultations, complete with a form detailing the types of consultations she offers. A new chapter begins: Empress Felizwe in full bloom 'This is one hard journey with no map or destination,' she wrote in a heartfelt post. 'All you can do is trust in God and your angels or guides to help you navigate.' With this message, she welcomed all those 'called to grow spiritually' into her spiritual home. Her services include healing, cleansing, bloodline healing, and helping others connect to their higher power. The singer made it clear that while she may not have all the answers, she believes strongly that 'God trusts me with this'. Spiritual Warnings: 'Watch who you surround yourself with' In addition to opening bookings, Kelly offered some cautionary spiritual advice. In a recent video post, she discussed energy siphoning and destiny swapping, warning followers about the dangers of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 'Destiny swapping and energy siphoning has become big in spiritual spaces these days,' she said. 'Watch where you go and who you surround yourself with, especially if you're not spiritually aligned.' She further urged her followers to be mindful of social interactions, stating, 'Not every invitation is a celebration-worthy one. You can take a rain check.' Music, motherhood and Meyiwa: Kelly's balancing act Despite her new spiritual path, Kelly is still highly active in the entertainment world. She recently released a track titled Ngeke with kwaito legend Arthur Mafokate and continues to headline shows across the country. Kelly has also given fans a look into her personal life through her reality series Life with Kelly, which delves into her spiritual evolution, motherhood, and her sometimes complicated relationships. Her children, Christian, fathered by Uyajola 99 host Molemo 'Jub Jub' Maarohanye, Thingo, fathered by the late soccer star Senzo Meyiwa, and Luna, whose father has not been publicly confirmed, are often featured in her online content. While speculation suggests Luna's father may be a prominent footballer, Kelly has kept mum on the subject.o Kelly Khumalo and her daughter, Thingo.

Senzo was tragically shot in 2014 at Kelly's family home in Vosloorus. Five men stand accused of the crime, believed to be a hit. After several delays, the trial resumed this week following a two-month pause. Advocate Charles Mnisi, representing one of the accused, recently requested yet another postponement in April. The singer has consistently denied any involvement and has not been charged, but public opinion remains divided. Their daughter Thingo has reportedly inherited her father's natural flair for football.
