Kelly Khumalo has just completed her month-long birthday tour, with her birthday extravaganza. As the actress turns 37, it is clear that she ages like fine wine. Her entire birthday event has set the bar high for all other birthdays that will ever be held in this country, and we can’t even compete.
Her birthday tour featured a big concert, where she received a lot of love from loyal fans. Singer Vusi Nova also joined her at the concert, as part of showing his love, support and best birthday wishes for the vocal highness. The two are close friends, and had a lovely trio with choreographer Somizi Mhlongo.
In a video she shared of herself on stage at the concert, she holds the microphone to the crowd and they all sing her “Happy birthday”. She was very moved by the gesture and the love it signifies. She then proceeds to rock the stage like only Kelly can do, with a powerful stage presence and a voice that can move mountains. Sharing the video, she captioned it “Best Birthday gift ever”, and Kelly, we agree. What could be better than knowing that the art you put out is so greatly appreciated, and people relate to it deeply. The video of the fans singing along to her song nearly moved us to tears.
It is no secret that Kelly Khumalo is one of the country’s favourite singers. She is well loved, and it’s not just because she is the voice of Africa, but it certainly contributes a lot. One of the reasons she attracts fierce loyalty is that she gives it to others in equal measure. She is very close friends with Somizi, and he recently showered her with praises after she showed him the most beautiful act of loyalty, when she refused to attend an event she was booked for after they cancelled Somizi’s attendance. The two have been hanging out a lot, and their friendship is bestie goals.
She celebrated her birthday with her loved ones. Her son, Christian, was present too. Kelly has been raising him single-handedly, as she revealed when she put his father, rapper Jub Jub, on blast for being an absent father. Also she largely keeps her children’s lives private, the mother-daughter duo recently tickled the masses with a video of Kelly calling out Christian for speaking broken English. Her inner South African mother just jumped out, and it was so fun to watch.
