SONGSTRESS Kelly Khumalo hit back at being criticised for her

IG TV video where she spoke about her former boyfriend, Senzo Meyiwa’s murder.

Over the weekend, the Dance

Comigo singer posted a video in which she spoke about Meyiwa and how she felt the SAPS were failing women of the country.

In the video, she is seen drinking Controversy Gin while speaking with a Russian accent.

The singer appeared to be very emotional.

Khumalo added that it’s hard being a woman in South Africa, alleging she has been victimised by the system.

Speaking about Meyiwa’s case, Khumalo says the SAPS didn’t do their job right and that his murder case should be laid to rest.

On Monday, Khumalo clapped back at a Twitter user who responded to a re-post of the video, saying she needed two bottles of her Controversy Gin to “spill the beans about Senzo Meyiwa”.

To which she replied: “Sweety, I can drink bottles of Controversy to heaven and back ayikho lento

ocabanga ukuthi uzoyithola (you’re not going to find this thing you’re looking for here).”

Khumalo said that putting on a Russian accent and drinking gin was helped her get rid of her frustrations.

“If pulling an accent with a glass of gin helps me to vent all my frustrations. So be it.”

This prompted another user to insinuate that she would drop the names of the people who murdered Meyiwa.

The Undithatha Kancinci hitmaker responded: “You are going to wait for a very long time.”

Following the back-and-forth tweets, Khumalo said she couldn’t hide behind singing and she was exhausted from being constantly mocked on the internet.

She tweeted: “Pardon me if I can no longer hide behind singing any more. I cannot sing at this moment as you would wish for me to do so. Where do think the past 6 years of mockery has gone to? I’m only human.

“Sing, take care of your kids, do this and don’t do that... I’m exhausted you have no idea what I have survived to be who I am today.

“So, excuse me if I’m not jumping for joy (about) your advice.”
