Kelly Khumalo is keeping a very close eye on the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial.
The murder trial of Kelly Khumalo's ex-boyfriend, Senzo Meyiwa, is underway.
According to the South African, Kelly Khumalo has arranged a watching brief for the trial.
A watching brief is a method normally used in criminal cases by lawyers to represent clients not directly a party to the suit and to function as an observer. The method is normally used to help protect the rights and interests of victims of a crime, or also to protect a defendant from possible malicious prosecution. - Wikipedia
