Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa has opened up about the cat fight that landed girlfriend Kelly Khumalo in jail, and admitted that he never told the singer that he is married.

Khumalo was arrested last week on charges of assault filed by Meyiwa’s wife, Mandisa Mkhize, following a heated roadside, physical altercation on the Empire Road off-ramp near the M1 South in Johannesburg.

“Kelly is a good woman. She is not the reason for my marriage falling apart,” the Pirates Keeper confessed to Sunday World. “This is all my fault. I lied to them [Khumalo and Mkhize].
“I approached her [Khumalo] and she asked if I was married. But I wasn’t man enough to tell her the truth. As a result, she fell in love with me.
“I haven’t given a statement to the police because of my schedule. But they said they are continuing the case without me. I won’t go into detail about what happened that night, but they [Khumalo and Mkhize] did not know about each other.”

Meanwhile, rumours that Khumalo is pregnant started doing the rounds after her court appearance, for which she donned a tight outfit that revealed what looked like a growing baby bump. Meyiwa was, however, taken aback when the Daily Sun enquired about a possible bun in the oven.
He said: “What?” “This is my first time hearing this, it’s not true! Is it Mandisa who told you this? Kelly is not pregnant.”
Khumalo appeared in the Hillbrow Magistrate’s Court last week Wednesday and was charged with three counts of assault – grievous bodily harm, reckless and negligent driving, and damage to property. She was granted bail and the case has been postponed until 31 October pending further investigation.
