Singer Kelly Khumalo has expressed outrage after a news reader mistakenly announced her death instead of Winnie Khumalo's. South African news broadcaster eNCA found itself in hot water after news presenter Shahan Ramkissoon made the error. In a strongly worded Instagram post, the singer called out the broadcaster for its carelessness.
“@encanews, you may dislike me or hold me in low regard, but this is incredibly reckless, ignorant, and disrespectful - not just to me but to those who love and care about me, especially my children. PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME,” Kelly wrote. Shahan Ramkissoon apologized for the mistake, stating, “I made an honest mistake, which I corrected shortly afterwards on air. It was a slip of the tongue as I ad-libbed the story. I take full responsibility for the error. To those seeking to amplify this for attention: do what you must trend and stay blessed,” The sudden death of Winnie Khumalo, known for her hit song 'Live My Life', has left her fans and loved ones heartbroken. Family spokesperson Tshepi Akeepile shared the devastating details of Winnie’s final moments. “She was unwell, and her daughter had gone out. When her daughter returned home to take her to the hospital, Winnie’s condition worsened during the drive. Sadly, she passed away en route and was pronounced dead on arrival.”“It is an incredibly painful time for us. Winnie had a son, Ntando Khumalo, a daughter, Rethabile Khumalo, three grandchildren, three sisters, and her mother. We are heartbroken and trying to come to terms with this loss,” Akeepile said
