Award-winning South African singer Kelly Khumalo is suffering major backlash over Senzo Meyiwa’s murder case.

The singer, has been dropped from the Tribute To Women music festival and the Maseru Jazz Festival, which is scheduled for September 24.

The organisers of the event cited social media posts related to the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa murder trial as the reasons behind their decision.

Khumalo was linked to the accused five during the recent court sittings. The court heard that she was in contact with the accused five weeks before Senzo was shot in 2014.
