Kelly Khumalo’s Airport Drama Sparks Arrest Rumors: “Kelly Caught Fleeing the Country?”Social media went into a frenzy when rumors spread that Kelly Khumalo had been arrested at the airport in connection with the Senzo Meyiwa case.
Headlines like “Kelly Khumalo Caught at the Airport Trying to Flee the Country” flooded social media, with many speculating about her involvement in the long-running legal saga.
However, the reality was far less dramatic. The singer was not under arrest but instead venting her frustrations after missing a flight due to what she described as “terrible service” from CemAir.
The Incident
In a video shared widely online, the “Empini” hitmaker expressed her anger at the airline for its lack of communication and poor service. Khumalo claimed she had arrived at the airport on time, but critical flight details were missing from the screens, and the airline failed to notify passengers via SMS.
“S*** service from CemAir; we missed our flight,” she said in the now-viral clip. “When we are there, it’s not on screens. They don’t even bother to send an SMS so that we don’t miss our flight. This is what we are dealing with.”
She went on to urge South Africans to boycott CemAir, adding, “South Africa must never ever support this s***** airline!”
Social Media Reactions
While Khumalo hoped to rally support against the airline, her post ignited a firestorm of criticism and mockery on social media. Many users seemed more interested in dragging her name through the mud than addressing her complaints.
One user, @Buja3D, sarcastically commented:
“Anything that involves that one nje🤮🚮may she miss all the flights except the one to Jesus’s home.”
Another user, @Bongani_Wale, quipped:
“So Kelly Khumalo thinks South Africans sympathise with her? South Africans will buy flowers for this airline to annoy her. South Africans hate Kelly Khumalo.”
Even more pointedly, @ZYantolo7 joked:
“Lol. I guess they didn’t want her there … they wanna see her in jail … Miss Gupta.”
Clearing the Air
Despite the backlash, Khumalo stood firm in her criticism of the airline and her call for better accountability in the aviation industry. The controversy, however, has shifted the spotlight back onto her ongoing challenges with public perception, particularly regarding her connection to the Senzo Meyiwa case.
As the rumors die down and the truth emerges, CemAir has yet to respond to Khumalo’s allegations of poor service, leaving many wondering if the airline will address her concerns—or if the drama will continue to play out in the court of public opinion.
