Award-winning singer Kelly Khumalo is embarking on a new chapter in her life.

She recently revealed that she is now a certified traditional healer

Taking to Instagram to commemorate her 40th birthday, she shared a photo of herself in Zulu attire with the caption ‘"Awu Hlanga lomhlabathi Slwane Esinamandla, wabizwa wasabela now you are a certified healer".

This translates to, "You mighty one, you were called and responded now you are a certified healer".

According to the Daily Sun, Khumalo revealed in a recent interview with Ukhozi FM that this was 15 years in the making.

“After 15 years of searching and trying to figure out who I am, today I’m finally graduating and am a certified inyanga.

“I was trained in many places, including in water, nature, by prayer and through my roots, because it’s important to know where I come from to know where I’m going,” she says. 

For the past year, Khumalo has been in the spotlight due to the ongoing murder case of her late boyfriend and former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.

He died in an armed robbery at her home in October 2014.
