Month: December 2024

This is as the world commemorates World AIDS Day on Sunday, 1 December.

In a lengthy narrative, Criselda, who has been living with HIV for many years, shared that this year she is reflecting on her journey with the virus.

She recalled being told decades ago that HIV would claim her life within two years of her diagnosis.

 
“I look back in complete gratitude for what the Lord has done in my life. Today, I mourn the deaths of millions of people who passed believing that being diagnosed with HIV infection is a death sentence, those failed by their unfaithful partners, failed by systematic exclusion to a holistic approach towards the management and treatment of an immune deficiency disease,” she said.

Criselda further reflected on how umjolo and the feeling of betrayal would lead her to a weak immune system, post-traumatic disorder, ICU hospitalisation and prevention of possible exposure to post-Covid symptoms.

She said she decided to start ARVs, which unfortunately led to diabetes.

“It’s been three years that tested all my theories about HIV medication. It is what it is. I am still here, strong and closest to healthy. Grateful for life, family and genuine friends, loving my career progression and future prospects.

“Though not easy, every day I choose to love myself unconditionally, I show up as the best version of myself, I teach people how I want to be treated, I honour myself and all my achievements,” she said.

Amongst all that, the former radio personality urged the public to once again invest in facts about the infection and stop saying HIV/AIDS simply because HIV is not AIDS.

She asserted that they don’t say hypertension or stroke, stating that HIV is a germ that weakens the body and AIDS is any illness that takes advantage of the weak body and makes the body sick.

“Most of the AIDS-related illnesses can be cured. TB, some cancers, pneumonia, diarrhoea, meningitis, bacterial and fungal infections and some that are incurable but treatable, like diabetes, shingles and other viral infections like herpes.

“The biggest lie continues to be that ARVs alone make living with HIV easier. This is further from the truth. I’m grateful to having started ARVs at a time when scientists became more ethical and truly invested in treating a viral infection without causing further damage,” she said.

This man deserves his flowers as an actor, both in Theatre and on screen. Mduduzi Mabaso is a star. In 1992, he first appeared in a theater production, Divide and Rule. In 2004, he made his film debut with the American film Hotel Rwanda, directed by Terry George.

He also acted in the stage plays Cry The Beloved Country, Madiba’s Magic, Behind the Curtains, Shaka Zulu, and Tasha On The Rocks.
In 2006, he played the lead role in the short Sekalli le Meokgo directed by Tebho Mahlatsi. The film was later awarded Best Short Film at the 2007 Durban International Film Festival.
In 2007, he was invited to play the lead character of the South African television soap opera Rhythm City. He played the role ‘Suffocate Ndlovu’. The soap opera made its premier on free-to-air television channel e.tv on 9 July 2007.
 

In 2015, he also modelled on the Soweto Fashion Week runway for fashion designer Floyd Avenue. Now he is currently playing Msizi on House of Zwide. A more lighthearted role.
The serial is continuously airing up to date in South Africa with positive critical reviews. Meanwhile, Mabaso won the Golden Horn Award for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Soap and then the Golden Horn Award for Best Actor in a Feature Film for his role ‘Ndlovu’ in the serial.

South African TikTok sensation Mixon Tholo, popularly known as Tsekeleke, has made headlines for his relationship with Mathapelo Kanyane, better known as Black Cat Girl. While Tsekeleke is confident in their love, critics and even some family members question the authenticity of their bond.

## A TikTok Star in the Spotlight

Tsekeleke, 39, rose to fame for his comedic videos and dance moves, earning him a loyal fan base. His relationship with Black Cat Girl, 32, has been under public scrutiny, especially after an incident on social media.

 

 

Black Cat Girl recently shared a video that many found offensive, laughing at Tsekeleke for struggling to fit into a plane’s safety belt. This sparked heated discussions online, with many accusing her of disrespecting her partner.

## Seemah Speaks Out

Sima Mangolwane, a TikTok star and podcaster known as Seemah, weighed in on the controversy during her YouTube podcast. She accused Black Cat Girl of exploiting Tsekeleke for financial gain.

“Clearly, she doesn’t care for Tsekeleke,” Seemah remarked. “She sees him as a money-making machine. A genuine partner would support him, not ridicule him publicly.”

Seemah suggested that if Black Cat Girl truly cared, she would encourage Tsekeleke to address his weight instead of using it as a source of humor. “Take him to the gym. But then again, no more money-making machine,” she added.

## Family Concerns

This isn’t the first time questions have been raised about Black Cat Girl’s intentions. Tsekeleke’s family has previously voiced their concerns, suspecting that she might not be in the relationship for the right reasons.

However, Tsekeleke has consistently defended his partner. “This woman takes care of me,” he said. “She buys me clothes, cellphones, and data. I hope to marry her because she’s everything I want.”

## Black Cat Girl’s Response

Following the backlash, Black Cat Girl acknowledged that laughing at Tsekeleke in the video was inappropriate. However, she insisted her intentions are genuine.

“I have good intentions for our relationship,” she explained. “We’re both making money and supporting each other.”

## The Public’s Reaction

The incident has sparked a broader conversation about respect and authenticity in relationships, especially in the public eye. While some sympathize with Tsekeleke, others argue that the couple’s dynamic is their business.

## Conclusion

As the controversy unfolds, Tsekeleke and Black Cat Girl continue to navigate the challenges of being in a highly visible relationship. Whether their love will withstand public scrutiny remains to be seen, but for now, Tsekeleke remains steadfast in his commitment to Black Cat Girl.
