As the trip came to an end, Rachel shared a heartfelt summary of their time on the island.

“Hard to sum up our week in Mauritius 🇲🇺 The people are so beautiful and so kind! (Was super fun practicing our French again 😅),” she wrote. “This was our second time staying at a @clubmed and if possible, it feels like it only gets better.”

She also highlighted how each member of the group enjoyed themselves in their own way. “I got to have some alone time—even finished a whole book! @offlame_g and @liphelo.madlingozi had so many options. Nic forgot he was on a family holiday—he joined the ‘teens club’ every day and made tons of new friends from all over the world! Kez joined the mini club most days and also made some amazing friends, and her days were filled with the most incredible activities.”

Rachel ended her note on a reflective tone, adding, “Never take for granted what a privilege it is to be able to travel and experience the world.”

Shebeshxt shows off new car

Mzansi rapper Shebeshxt is once again the talk of the town after being spotted cruising around in a brand-new Volkswagen Golf GTI.

 

 

 
The sighting immediately sparked conversations online, with many South Africans raising eyebrows over what they claim is his fourth new car since the start of 2024.

The Limpopo-born artist was seen arriving at a local shopping centre with friends in the eye-catching red ride.

Excited fans flocked around the car to greet him, capturing moments that quickly made their way to social media.

While some fans celebrated his flashy lifestyle, others questioned how he could afford multiple high-end vehicles in such a short span—especially after the tragic accident he was involved in, which claimed the life of his daughter. T

he incident remains fresh in the minds of many, making the rapper’s latest moves all the more controversial.

Speculation also grew, with some suggesting the car might not actually belong to him, but rather to a friend.

Still, the debate raged on across social platforms, with opinions split between admiration and skepticism.

Watch video below:
FOURTH PURCHASE IN A YEAR?

This is arguably Shebeshxt’s fourth purchase since 2024. He seemingly bought two of his cars after having an accident.

In January 2024, he had an accident that damaged his car. A few months after his near-fatal accident, he reportedly bought a new Golf 8 eTSi.

However, Mzansi was quick to rubbish the news since the model is not yet available in South Africa.

Against the trends, Shebeshxt took to social media to show off a different white Golf he had seemingly purchased soon after the accident.

A STRING OF ROAD ACCIDENTS

Despite making headlines with his spending sprees, Shebeshxt has received criticism for his driving. He has been involved in a string of accidents, with one claiming his daughter.

Shebeshxt has been accused of drinking and driving, but he often downplays the reports.

On the other hand, several prophets and traditional healers have also warned the star about people trying to take his life.

Bontle Modiselle is basking in the beauty of pregnancy, and she’s letting the world in on the joy.

Following the wave of love and congratulations, Bontle returned to Instagram on Tuesday with a series of breathtaking photos, proudly showcasing her growing baby bump.

“Spotlight on grace, a sacred dance within begins, where life and love intertwine. Thank you God,” she wrote.

“I’m so grateful to everyone who collaborated with us on the stunning images you’re yet to see 🥹🤍. Thank you for your support, your patience, your pure love and care,” she shared, giving a special shout-out to @siyabunny for providing a “breathtakingly beautiful creative space.”

Mawhoo’s ‘The Sound of Magic’ EP achieves 15 million streams

South African vocalist Mahwoo is celebrating a major milestone as her 2024 EP, The Sound of Magic, officially surpasses 15 million streams across digital platforms.

A year after its release, the Amapiano star took to social media to thank her fans for their unwavering support.

“It’s been a year since the release of my last EP The Sound of Magic. We’ve achieved 15 million streams across all DSPs, thank you so much for the love. What’s your favorite song from the EP?” she tweeted, inviting fans to join the conversation.

Tbo Touch turns 44 years old

Tbo Touch marked his 44th birthday on April 4, 2025, but instead of throwing a grand celebration like he did when he turned 40, the media mogul chose solitude and reflection.

The radio host and entrepreneur shared a calm and introspective video of himself sitting by a fireplace in his luxurious home, accompanied only by his two bulldogs and the soft sounds of jazz in the background.

 
In the clip, Tbo Touch delivers a heartfelt monologue about self-love, silence, and gratitude. He spoke about the power of quiet moments and listening to one’s own thoughts, describing it as the true measure of self-appreciation.

“What a time to be alive. Spending my birthday with the realest boys in the world,” he says, referring to his dogs. “Sometimes the silence brings the best. You have to listen to your thoughts, brainstorm, count your blessings… that’s the measure of self-love.”

The video quickly made rounds on social media, with many praising the message and Touch’s confident, peaceful demeanor.

However, some viewers couldn’t help but find the solo celebration a little melancholic, especially when compared to the extravagant parties he’s known for.

Before ending his message, Tbo Touch took a moment to send birthday wishes to fellow Aries, reminding them—and perhaps his critics—that regardless of the circumstances, “God is on the throne.”

Priddy Ugly

South African rapper Priddy Ugly has taken a moment to reflect on the importance of strong family units, particularly within the Black community, following what appears to be backlash aimed at his expanding family.

In a strongly worded tweet, the rapper addressed the current societal climate, highlighting troubling trends such as declining birth rates, rising divorce statistics, and the erosion of the Black family structure.

 

 

 

 
Without naming anyone directly, his words seemed to respond to online criticism or mockery surrounding his personal life and growing family with his wife, choreographer Bontle Modiselle.

“In a time when global fertility and birth rates are declining, divorce rates are at an all-time high, and the Black family structure is disadvantaged and under threat,” he wrote.

“Seeing a young Black family grow and blossom, witnessing their relationship stand the test of time—especially in an era where many fail—should bring a little joy to your heart.”

Priddy Ugly concluded the message with a powerful reminder for those who may view such moments with bitterness or disdain: “If you can’t find beauty in that, look inward. God be with you.”

The couple, who recently announced they are expecting their second child, continue to receive love from many fans who admire their bond, creativity, and commitment to building a legacy.

Priddy’s message not only defended his family but also served as a call to celebrate and protect Black love and unity in a world that often fails to uplift it.

Phila Madlingozi, a well-known actor and musician, has pledged to donate his earnings from his next acting job to veteran actress Nandi Nyembe, who revealed she was facing severe financial difficulties. Nyembe, a beloved figure in South African television, recently shared her struggles publicly, which moved Madlingozi to take action.

 
Phila Madlingozi’s Generous Offer

In a heartfelt Instagram post on April 3, 2025, Madlingozi offered to take on any acting role and donate the entirety of his earnings to Nyembe’s medical bills. The promise was made in response to a public plea from Nyembe, who disclosed that she was struggling financially and lacked medical aid.

“I am offering to take an acting job. All the money that I’m paid can be sent directly to Mam Nyembe’s medical bills. Please share,” Madlingozi posted, expressing his willingness to help in any way he could.

Nyembe, who is wheelchair-bound, had earlier shared her distress in a video where she explained how she had spent all her savings assisting her son with a personal matter. She revealed that, at the moment, she could not afford healthcare, which only added to her challenges. The emotional video quickly went viral, drawing attention from her fans and the general public.https://x.com/MDNnewss/status/1907877177984696393?t=3szLvWAdM6mLuTU0ZxNO7w&s=19

The Outpouring of Support for Nyembe

Several individuals and organizations, including the Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture Gayton McKenzie, rallied to Nyembe’s side after her public plea. McKenzie, in particular, donated a generous sum of R20,000 to help alleviate her financial burden. Madlingozi’s offer of financial support has added to this growing wave of solidarity.

Mixed Reactions from Netizens

While many applauded Madlingozi for his altruistic gesture, others voiced concerns about the motives behind his public offer. Social media users were divided in their responses, with some seeing Madlingozi’s actions as an example of genuine kindness, while others accused him of leveraging Nyembe’s situation to secure an acting job.

One commenter praised his generosity, saying, “Blessed is the hand that gives,” while another user expressed doubt, questioning whether Madlingozi was merely using Nyembe’s plight to attract attention to himself.

Critics also took to social media to accuse Madlingozi of exploiting the situation for personal gain. “Using ugogo (grandmother) to get a job,” mocked one commenter, while another user argued that he should have explored more direct options, like starting a crowdfunding campaign, instead of making his support public.A Pattern of Generosity in South Africa’s Entertainment Industry

Madlingozi is not the first celebrity to respond publicly to Nyembe’s hardships. Previously, actor Carlo Radebe faced similar financial difficulties and homelessness, which brought attention to the struggles of many South African entertainers who fall on hard times. Despite their contributions to the industry, many of these actors find it difficult to maintain financial stability due to the irregular nature of acting gigs.

The Debate: Public vs. Private Assistance

The debate over whether celebrity assistance should be publicized or kept private is ongoing. Some argue that public gestures raise awareness about the struggles faced by entertainers, while others believe that true generosity is quiet and does not require acknowledgment.

As Phila Madlingozi’s offer continues to stir conversation online, one thing is clear: Nandi Nyembe’s plight has touched many, and the conversation about how best to support struggling actors in South Africa is far from over.

In conclusion, Phila Madlingozi’s pledge to help Nandi Nyembe has sparked a wider conversation about the challenges faced by South African entertainers. While some view his gesture as a sign of hope and solidarity, others remain skeptical, raising important questions about the ethics of public charity in the celebrity world.
