If some had their way, singer Kelly Khumalo could have by now migrated or sought solace elsewhere away from South Africa. The mother of two has not had it easy, as ‘bad luck’ seems to follow her wherever she goes.

“I do not need to explain myself or anything to anyone.  Things happen to people all the time.  Why do people expect me to react how they would react?  I react differently to things that even I shock myself at times,” Khumalo tells Showbiz in an exclusive interview. The controversial singer and actress made it clear before the interview that she does not want to talk about ‘the topic’ that has landed her in almost all front covers of newspapers and magazines. She seems to have buried the past and is more than ever determined to move on and concentrate on her life and career.

“When people expect me to go north, I will go south,” she says when responding to why she has never had a public statement on the events that took place on October 26, 2014.  Khumalo, who had an on-and-off relationship with the father of her child, Senzo Meyiwa, was present during the tragic shooting of the Bafana Bafana and Pirates goalkeeper.
