One particularly harrowing revelation involves an alleged near-death experience. Khumalo claims that while she was approximately eight months pregnant, she was strangled by Jub Jub following an argument. As a result of the assault, she experienced severe abdominal pains and required medical treatment at the Sandton Clinic.
In June 2010, another alleged incident of assault took place. Khumalo was reportedly found with other co-actors at Rhythm City’s studio, which led to the presenter accusing her of being involved in a relationship with one of them. During this confrontation, she was allegedly assaulted with open fists, resulting in a visible scar on her lip.

Additionally, an incident occurred at Khumalo’s mother’s house in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg, where she claims she was assaulted with a glass. The altercation escalated, involving not only Jub Jub but also Khumalo’s mother and sister, Zandile Khumalo.
The most distressing allegation centers around a reported rape incident in 2012. Khumalo asserts that she was raped by Jub Jub after refusing to engage in sexual activity with him. She described how Jub Jub used a pillow to suffocate her during the assault. After the ordeal, he removed the pillow and left for his court hearing.
The things Kelly Khumalo said shed light on the abuse she went through when with Jub Jub. Stories like this bring attention to the serious problem of violence between partners and show the need for help and support for victims.
It reminds us how important it is to teach people about bad relationships and to encourage respect and safety.
In recent years, more work has been done around the world to fight against violence between partners. Groups and programs have started up to offer help, counseling, and legal support for people who survived abuse.
Governments have also made new laws to protect victims and punish the people who hurt them.
It’s key for society to listen to and help people who share their experiences with abuse. Encouraging open talks, teaching about healthy relationships, and getting rid of shame about victims are important steps to make life safer for everyone.
