Zandie and Kelly Khumalo are sisters with a tumultuous past which took place in front of the public. This comes as Kelly had “divorced” Zandie after it was believed that Zandie’s husband was using Kelly’s name to earn fraudulent cheques by posing as her manager.
Moreover, it seemed that the sisters had called an overall truce. However, it seems that Kelly is taking the opportunity to make it clear that unlike her sister, she is still waiting for her time on the stand and she is not fearful like her sister.
“Fear is not my future” - Is Kelly shading her sister?
Zandie Khumalo found herself at the receiving end of social media and the public’s receiving end of their frustration. This is as Zandie had initially confirmed her readiness to take the stand on Monday, 15 May 2023.
This was to give her testimony in terms of the her sequence of events during the tragic night that took Senzo Meyiwa’s life. However, when they day came, Zandie surprised everybody as it was reported:
Hence the excitement to finally hear from one of the Khumalo sisters about what actually happened. However, that excitement quickly turned into frustration from the public as it was revealed that the witness in question requested that their testimony is not shared with the public.
Baloyi says this would unsettle and hinder her to continue with the testimony.

In light of this fact, it seems that Kelly is making it clear that when her time comes to be on the stand, she will not be having the same antics. As such, she took to Instagram to share a suggestive post. In the caption written in part in isiZulu, she wrote:
“The atmosphere changes when this kind of worship takes place…Not to mention the same weather and similar fur… Fear is not my future!”
As such, one comment seemed to echo the sentiments of the general public when it comes to Kelly’s reiterations on the Senzo trial and how she and Zandie have been able to use the matter to drum up headlines. But as seen when the time comes to do the talking, they continually fail to share light on the events of the night.
Writing in the comments section, the commentator wrote:
“I hope one day Kelly you stop bragging about how fearless you are. This isn’t about you, it’s about a family that is [in] pain and seeking for justice. Nobody said you are guilty (A remark that was fairly contested in the replies), the least you can do is to have ubuntu enough not to make it about you and assist wherever you can as everyone is yearning for closure including yourself.”
