Zandie Khumalo, a singer, called her dog Mlosholo after characterizing it as “ugly and stinky.”
Kelly Khumalo’s sister named her pet after Advocate Zandile Mshololo, who represents one of Senzo Meyiwa’s suspects. Netizens criticized her and suggested that Mshololo sue her for naming her puppy after her.
Zandie Khumalo appears to enjoy drama and controversy. Zandie recently debuted her new dog, jokingly calling it “ugly” and “smelly.” She humorously gave the dog the name “Mlosholo” and assigned it the task of a diligent barker.
However, her choice of name holds a deeper significance, as it echoes the name of Advocate Zandile Mshololo, who represents one of the suspects in the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa case.
This amusing but potentially contentious decision elicited a furious response from netizens and drew attention to the sensitive subject.
Netizens reacted strongly to the name decision after @jozitube posted the news on their Twitter feed.
Zandie Khumalo’s actions have been criticized as disrespectful and inconsiderate towards Advocate Zandile Mshololo.
Some users expressed their disbelief at the choice and even suggested that Advocate Mshololo should pursue legal action against the singer for associating her name with an animal.
The event has drawn attention to the limits of humour, respect, and the influence of public activities in the context of current judicial matters, sparking debate among both followers and observers of the situation.
