Kelly Khumalo was booked to replace Somizi at the restaurant opening in Zimbabwe but she cancelled after learning that her friend Somizi was blocked due to his sexuality.
Kelly's manager Khothatso Tsotetsi told TshisaLIVE that the singer received the same booking after his cancellation. However, she had no idea what had led to Somizi being blocked when they were initially approached.
Somizi shared a video on his Instagram on Wednesday explaining that though he was disheartened that he was shunned because of his sexuality, he would not stop speaking up for the LGBTQI+ community. “I will not stop speaking on behalf of the voiceless and on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves.”
