The murder case of slain goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa is seemingly haunting Kelly Khumalo, who has been dropped from the line-up of the Maseru Jazz Festival. After the Tribute To Women concert’s decision to drop the “Empini” hitmaker and former girlfriend of Meyiwa, the Maseru Jazz Festival organizers have followed suit. The festival, set to take place on September 24 at Maseru Park and Entertainment in Bokone, Mahikeng, featured the singer in a star-studded line-up including Nathi and Mafikizolo, among others.
In a post on their social media pages on Thursday, the organizers confirmed they were removing her from the line-up. The removal of Khumalo from the gigs follows an alleged potential link between her and one of Meyiwa’s-murder accused as heard when a cellphone expert testified in July. The case is ongoing.

Lizzo is speaking out after being accused of sexual assault and body-shaming by her former backup dancers. On Thursday, August 3, the “Good As Hell” singer addressed the allegations in a message shared with her Instagram followers. “The last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized,” she wrote in the caption.
She continued, “Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed. These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.” Earlier this week, a lawsuit was filed against Lizzo by Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, who allege they were exposed to a “sexually charged and uncomfortable” work environment. That harassment was “so severe or pervasive” that it made their employment conditions “intolerable.”
