"Why not Kelly Khumalo," Social media users react to Zahara's death

Kelly Khumalo gets dragged by social media users following the news of Zahara's death. The Empini hitmaker surfaced on the Twitter trend list as some users claimed she should have died instead of the Loliwe hitmaker. Zahara, real name Bulelwa Mkutukana died on Monday night after battling liver complications for weeks. Kelly is undoubtedly one of the most cyberbullied SA celebrities, and the hatred surfaces once again this Tuesday. However, people stood up to defend Kelly Khumalo; the trolls were slammed.

Twitter users can be cruel sometimes !! I cannot believe people are asking why #Zahara not Kelly Khumalo 💔 I believe that death it in God's hands Everyone will die. The goal isn’t to live forever, but to create something that will - Zahara did exactly that 💔🕊️ #RIPZahara pic.twitter.com/Zjb4JIAGY7

It’s disturbing how many people feel entitled to say whatever mean thing they like to and about Kelly Khumalo. It’s really strange… #RIPZahara
