The ongoing feud between the father of slain Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain Senzo Meyiwa and singer Kelly Khumalo has again reared its head with both claiming they are not playing ball regarding the life policy that is to be paid out.
The Premier Soccer League on Wednesday announced details of a R4-million life insurance policy payout.
PSL and Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza explained that half of the policy would go to Orlando Pirates – because the club had paid for the policy – and half would go to Meyiwa’s children.
Senzo’s father Sam Meyiwa and the soccer star’s estranged wife‚ Mandisa Mkhize‚ were both at the press conference. They thanked the PSL for its support.
“It’s still difficult dealing with the loss of Senzo especially because we hardly saw him. It’s still painful. I’d like to also thank the chairman for his handling of this insurance pay-out matter.”
Noticeably absent was Kelly Khumalo‚ who has a child with Senzo.
Sources close to Khumalo have told Tiso Black Star Group Entertainment that she knew nothing of the event nor the details surrounding the policy.
At the same time‚ a family spokesperson for the Meyiwa family told Sowetan that Kelly has not been co-operating. “We have made all the efforts to make sure Kelly’s child is involved as a beneficiary. She’s not been fully co-operative at the moment but we’ve done everything legally possible‚” said spokesperson Siyabonga Meyiwa.
Former South African Football Association CEO Raymond Hack was named administrator of the policy.
He explained the money will be paid over to a guardian fund‚ which will hold the money on behalf of the children. He said there were three children who would benefit from the policy at this stage.
