SHOCKING NEW TWIST: Advocate Teffo Exposes Child Support Records for Senzo Meyiwa’s Daughter — Kelly Khumalo Accused of HIDING the Truth

In a new and emotionally charged twist to the ongoing saga surrounding the murder of Senzo Meyiwa, Advocate Malesela Teffo has now shifted focus to the late footballer’s surviving child — raising serious concerns about neglect, legal rights, and financial responsibilities.

Armed with documents that allegedly prove Senzo Meyiwa had been supporting the child financially before his untimely death, Teffo is demanding answers from singer Kelly Khumalo, who was Meyiwa’s girlfriend at the time and the mother of his daughter.

But what was expected to be a straightforward legal intervention has now become yet another storm of accusations, denials, and public outrage.

Advocate Teffo, who previously made headlines for representing accused suspects in the murder trial, is now fighting on a different front: for justice not just for Senzo’s death, but also for the child he left behind.

According to Teffo, the late goalkeeper was actively paying child support and ensuring the wellbeing of his daughter, despite the strained relationship he had with Khumalo in the months leading up to his death.

Teffo claims to have bank records, receipts, and signed affidavits from family members confirming these payments.

Speaking during a press briefing outside the Pretoria High Court, Teffo stated, “Senzo loved his child.

He never turned his back on her.

The narrative that he was an absent father is not only false — it’s damaging.

And we are now going to court to make sure that the truth is known, and that his child’s rights are protected.

However, according to multiple sources close to the case, Kelly Khumalo has allegedly made no effort to acknowledge these payments publicly, nor has she allowed Senzo’s family consistent access to the child.

In fact, tensions between the Khumalo and Meyiwa families have worsened over the years, with both sides trading accusations and emotional statements in the media.

Teffo’s latest claims come at a time when the nation is already on edge, with the Meyiwa murder trial still unfolding in courtrooms and gripping South Africa with every new revelation.

The addition of a child custody and support dimension has only intensified public interest — and confusion.

Kelly Khumalo, through her legal representatives, has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

In a brief statement released by her management team, she said, “Ms.Khumalo has always acted in the best interest of her child.

She is not obligated to justify herself to public opinion.

Any legal matters will be dealt with through the appropriate channels.

But Advocate Teffo isn’t backing down.

He has filed a motion seeking court-ordered access for the Meyiwa family to visit the child and is also pushing for a forensic audit into how funds allegedly sent by Senzo were managed.

“We are not accusing anyone of theft,” he clarified.

“But we want transparency.

This child has the right to know that her father was present, loving, and responsible.

And the family has the right to be part of her life.

The Meyiwa family has rallied behind Teffo’s efforts.

Senzo’s brother, Sifiso Meyiwa, has publicly supported the legal action, saying that the family has been cut off from the child for years.

“It hurts us deeply.

That child is the last connection we have to Senzo, and yet we are treated like strangers.

We have a right to see her, to love her, and to honor our brother through her.

Supporters of Khumalo argue that she has protected the child from public scrutiny and that the Meyiwa family has used media platforms to apply pressure in ways that may not be healthy for a young girl growing up in the shadow of tragedy.

Critics of Teffo say his constant media presence risks turning a child’s private life into a national debate.

Still, many South Africans are asking why it has taken this long to resolve what should be a straightforward issue.

If Meyiwa did indeed provide financial support, as the documents suggest, then why has there been no formal recognition of that until now? And why has the public been led to believe, in some quarters, that Senzo abandoned his responsibilities as a father?

Legal experts have weighed in, suggesting that the matter could soon escalate into a full civil custody battle if common ground is not found.

One prominent attorney noted, “This isn’t just about money — it’s about legal guardianship, emotional support, and the constitutional rights of both the child and her extended family.

If Advocate Teffo proceeds with full legal action, this could become as complex and high-profile as the murder trial itself.

What complicates the matter further is that the child in question is now entering a phase in life where identity and history become crucial.

Psychologists have noted that growing up in the midst of such public tension can be damaging unless managed carefully.

Meanwhile, Teffo insists that his motivation is purely about justice.

“Senzo was not perfect, but he was present.

And we will not allow the memory of his fatherhood to be erased.

His daughter deserves the truth, and the law will ensure that she gets it”

As this legal storm brews, the child at the center of it all remains shielded from public view.

And perhaps that’s how it should be.

But for the millions following the case, the question remains — will the pursuit of truth and justice ultimately bring peace to a family torn apart, or will it deepen the scars already left behind by one of South Africa’s most tragic losses? Only time, and the courts, will tell.
