Musician Kelly Khumalo's daughter Thingo has impressed the singer's Instagram followers after she showcased that the apple might not have fallen far from the tree with the soccer talent.
Kelly recently shared a clip of her children Thingo and Christian playing soccer on her account.
"A proud mom. Thingo scored 3 goals, Christian scored 4 #SoccerMom," she captioned her post.
In her comments section, followers were impressed with Thingo and shared in Kelly's excitement as a soccer mom, with some comparing her to her late father.
Meyiwa was shot dead while visiting Kelly at her mother's house in Vosloorus on 26 October 2014, a few months after his daughter was born.
While South Africans were never privy to the hurt that his daughter might feel about her father's absence, Thingo expressed her feelings about Senzo in an episode of Kelly's reality TV show that aired on Showmax Life with Kelly.
"My daughter not having a dad will never be something that sits well with me. I look at her, and my heart just sinks. If you miss him, it's okay to miss him too. So, how do you feel?" Kelly asked her daughter.
"Sad because he's not here," replied Thingo.
Kelly went on to comfort her daughter.

"We all would have wanted him here, but God decided to take him earlier than all of us. But that does not mean he is not watching over us… especially you. Wherever you go, your daddy is with you. You know that, right? Even at school," Kelly added.
The singer finally broke her silence in 2022 in an exclusive interview with eNCA. She sat alongside her then-lawyer, Magdalene Moonsamy and lamented the justice system.
"I think the lowest point for me is being let down by the law. As a SA citizen, I trust and believe in the law to protect not just me but my family and our society. But with what has happened to me, I have had my life threatened and my family threatened, not once, but multiple times. And I feel like the law is not coming into place," Kelly said.
