Shauwn Mkhize aka MaMkhize’s all-gold bedroom which costs over R500 000 leaves Mzansi

Mzansi reality TV star and businesswoman, Shauwn Mkhize, popularly known as Mamkhize, has shown that she is a queen of gold as she shows off her expensive all-gold bedroom.


 

 

 

Mamkhize is well known for her love for an expensive lifestyle and doesn’t shy away from it. Over and over again, she always shows off her costly luxurious mansions and cars, leaving Mzansi in awe.Best gifts for your loved ones

Mamkhize’s bedroom is all designed in gold, which is very expensive. It seemed that she always had something new to show her fans. This time, it’s not the expansiveness of a vast mansion or a luxurious car; instead, it’s all in the preciousness of a mineral decorating her bedroom. Honestly, a chance to sleep in Mamkhize’s all-gold bedroom may be a dream come true for many fans; it’s like a glimpse of heaven.

Since her divorce from her husband, Sbu Mpisane, it is said that she is staying with him in the same mansion but using different wings. Indeed, Mamkhize is busy upping the interior of her wing, specifically the bedroom she decorated with the particular mineral.

Indeed, if heaven is to be lived here on earth, the Royal AM boss is living it all. Mamkhize’s all-gold bedroom is nothing less than a dream to many fans. Her golden interior bedroom costs far more than one can imagine.

She described Mamlkhize’s all-gold bedroom as challenging, with knowing where to start. Her dressing table is at least the first thing that stood out outstanding. She made it look like nothing was ever made on Earth. Her queen bed was also spread with golden and black sheets, making the room look so beautiful.

Despite not having the exact valuation of her all-bedroom, fans agreed it is expensive. Certainly, Mamkhize’s all-gold bedroom is undoubtedly worthy of something around R500K for that region.

‘Till the wheels fall off’: Rachel Kolisi flaunts latest R1.5m Mercedes-Benz

Rachel Kolisi recently set social media abuzz after she flaunted one of the most sought-after Mercedes-Benz.

A week after topping trends with her rumoured Mercedes-Benz CLE 200, Rachel Kolisi took to Instagram to share a clip of a Mercedes-Benz E220 d.

MAKING HEADLINES
Surprisingly, the post comes barely a few hours after Siya Kolisi took to social media to show off a new sleek Mercedes-Benz C63 with a base price of R2.3 million.

 

 

 
After all, Siya Kolisi’s post also came a few days after Rachel Kolisi topped trends with her R1.4 million CLE 200.

No doubt, the timing has since convinced many that it’s a battle for Mercedes-Benzs between the once-powerful couple. Could it be a battle or just a coincidence?

Is Mercedes-Benz cashing in on free advertising from the couple that recently called it quits? The South African has since established that several ‘friends of the brand’ are receiving new whips.

RACHEL KOLISI SHOWS OFF R1.5 MILLION MERCThanks to Rachel Kolisi’s huge following, she often trends whenever she posts. In the now-viral post on the picture-sharing app, she captioned the post, ‘If luxury was a car,’ and tagged Mercedes-Benz SA.In 2023, Du Plessis, a star in the UFC middleweight division, joined the Mercedes-Benz family and received a new EQE 43 AMG.

However, he recently received a new sleek Mercedes-AMG G63 like those before him.

Like other big names who are ‘Friends of the Brand,’ Rachel Kolisi’s post undoubtedly shows her great bond with the company she joined against Siya Kolisi’s newfound fame.

In 2021, Siya Kolisi joined a range of elite athletes worldwide who are “Friends of the Brand” for Mercedes-Benz.

Despite her divorce from Siya, Rachel Kolisi still has some close ties with Mercedes-Benz SA.

However, petrolheads have since given the R1.5 million Mercedes a nod. Many were convinced it was the 2024 edition. Over the years, the E-Class has been a staple in Mercedes-Benz’s portfolio.

Rachel Kolisi flaunting the latest edition of the E-Class seemingly proves that she has quickly become a brand that the German automobile trusts. Their working relationship still stands ’till the wheels fall off.’In June 2024, Mercedes-Benz SA CEO Mark Raine revealed that the latest E-Class sits at the upper echelons of its segment.

“The 2024 E-Class is the most advanced E-Class ever, retaining that unrivalled luxury appeal and dynamic driving experience. It is a window into the future of Mercedes-Benz,” said Raine.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RACHEL KOLISI’S RECENT POST?

Should we read anything into the fact Siya Kolisi is still a ‘husband’?

Anyone who’s ever been through a break-up, no matter how ‘mutual’ the decision or how acrimonious the parting of ways was, knows the first step that needs to be taken by both parties post-announcement.

That is, delete all evidence of ever having known your ex from social media!

However, in the case of Siya and Rachel Kolisi, things seem to be a little different.

‘Bombshell announcement’
Siya and Rachel, who’d been together for eight years, dropped a bombshell when they announced their separation on 22 October, claiming at the time that it was a “mutual decision”.

Rumours predictably flew as to why South Africa’s golden couple had decided to call it quits.

Was the Springbok skipper having an affair? Was he partying too hard and drinking too much for Rachel’s liking?

Or was it simply a case of ‘time being up’ on their relationship?

As recently as last week, social media went into overdrive with speculation the couple had called off theirBut here’s the interesting bit …

While Rachel was quick to remove the word ‘wife’ from her Instagram page, some six weeks after the shock news, Siya still refers to himself as ‘husband’ and his Instagram profile picture is of the couple holding hands.

In addition, while Siya’s page is dominated by posts alongside his Springbok team-mates – Eben Etzebeth and Cheslin Kolbe in particular – he has not deleted his Instagram Stories about his life with Rachel.

Masterpieces laid to rest: Family grateful for support!

Mourners came to pay their last respects to Lucas “Masterpieces” Moripe (74) at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium, a stadium named after him in Tshwane.

The former Orlando Pirates and Pretoria Bantu Callies player was laid to rest at Lotus Cemetery, west of Tshwane on Thursday, 28 November.

Masterpieces died on 19 November. The family spokesman, Oupa Moripe, said the family always discussed football with him.

 

 

 
“He was using his head to think what he was going to do with his feet. He was the best dribbler. The family sang songs and danced surrounding the coffin.

“We are grateful for the beautiful Mamelodi Sundowns. Always when Sundowns won, you will see his happy face. We are thankful,” he said. He said that wherever Masterpieces is, he’s happy.

“What a wonderful send-off for honouring my brother by giving him a Special Provincial Official Funeral Category Two,” he said. Rachel Moripe, a niece, expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to Masterpieces’ life and who continues to support the foundation and a book about his life.

“His legacy must live on. Let’s make sure of that as the people of Atteridgeville, Pretoria, and Gauteng. We should uplift our own,” she said.

Itu Moloto, a representative of the Moripe Foundation, said that people can’t talk about football without mentioning Masterpieces. “You cannot speak about Atteridgeville and Pretoria Bantu Callies Football Club without mentioning him. Rest in peace, Modimo wa Bolo,” he said.

Neighbour Godfrey Masala said: “We’re deeply hurt to lose a legend like him. He was an ever-smiling person who was full of jokes. He was a humble and straightforward person.” Clifford Simango, chairman of Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Goodwill Games, said: “We played a huge role in this stadium to be named after Lucas Masterpieces Moripe.”

Councillor Esther Masuku said it was a sad day.

“We are bidding farewell to our beloved Masterpieces Moripe. He was so passionate about the talent God gave him.”

Maskandi star leads Mzansi’s music revolution

AWARD-WINNING maskandi star Gatsheni wants to foster cultural unity in the Mzansi music scene.

The 34-year-old artist, whose real name is Khuzani Ndlovu from Pongola, KZN, believes that building relationships in the entertainment industry is vital for artists’ growth and expanding their audience.

 

 

 
Gatsheni recently collaborated with Sho Madjozi and Makhadzi on a new single titled Ndi Rine, which beautifully blends Tsonga, Venda, and Zulu. He emphasised the importance of collaboration and camaraderie among artists.

“Having good relationships in the entertainment industry helps our music transcend borders and cultural boundaries. It promotes us as artists and makes our work accessible to a wider audience,” he said. “Seeing people from different cultures embracing maskandi shows how much they love what we do as artists. It means a lot that our generation is making history and pushing boundaries,” he said.

This year has been monumental for Gatsheni.

At the South African Music Awards (Samas), he won two prestigious awards: Best Maskandi Album and Best Male Artist.

Sharing the spotlight with industry giants lsuch as Tyla, Kabza De Small, and Mthunzi, he expressed gratitude for the recognition.

While fans often campaign for their favourite artists in the highly competitive Ukhozi FM Song of the Year contest, Gatsheni said he isn’t overly focused on winning.

“I’ll be happy if it happens, but it’s not a priority. Fans spend their hard-earned money to vote, and if there’s no financial reward for the artists, it doesn’t really benefit us in the long run.”

Tsekeleke says he loves his girlfriend Black Cat Girl.

TSEKELEKE is deeply in love with his girlfriend, Black Cat Girl.

However, some believe she’s in it for the money and using him.Famous TikTok star and podcaster Sima Mangolwane, also known as Seemah, has shared her thoughts on the couple’s relationship.

Tsekeleke, real name Mixon Tholo (39), is celebrated for his dance moves and comedic TikTok videos.

 

 
In a recent episode of her YouTube podcast, Seemah accused Black Cat Girl of not genuinely caring for Tsekeleke.

This was after Black Cat Girl, real name Mathapelo Kanyane (32), shared a video laughing at Tsekeleke for not fitting into a plane safety belt.Black Cat Girl acknowledged she was wrong for laughing at him.

“I mean, you know your partner is big, and then you want to ridicule him on social media about his situation,” she said.

According to Seemah, if she were a true partner, she’d support him in addressing his weight.

“Take him to the gym. If she does, there’s no more money-making machine,” Seemah said.

Even Tsekeleke’s family has raised concerns about Black Cat Girl’s intentions, but Tsekeleke insists they’re in love.

“This woman takes care of me. She buys me clothes, cellphones, and data,” Tsekeleke said.

He hopes to marry her.

“She’s all I want.”

Black Cat Girl defended herself and said: “I have good intentions for our relationship, and we’re both making money.”

Theo Kgosinkwe says his song was inspired by his marriage.

After 14 years, he has released a new single titled Ngikhethe Kahle.

“It was inspired by the fact that about four years ago, I celebrated my wedding with my wife and have amazing footage I wanted to share with my family and fans. I thought about how I’d release it.”It only made sense to do it via a song. So, I decided to get into the studio and record this song. That’s how Ngikhethe Wena came about,” he said.

 

 

 

 
Returning to studio
The last time Theo was in the studio by himself was in 2010, as he has since focused on Mafikizolo.

“When I stepped into the studio to work on this song, it reminded me of how much I enjoyed the experience. I thought about the excitement of recording my solo albums and the challenges faced when I did it for the first time. But my first album did well. It won a South African Music Award (ama), I got to perform with international musicians, and I even performed at the 2010 Soccer World Cup opening. My second album also did well and won a Sama too. So, when I went back this time, I knew I’d do good. The only challenge was figuring out the right sound,” he said.Theo married Vourne Kgosinkwe in 2020 and they celebrated it in 2022 and welcomed a daughter since then.

“I’ve got an amazing wife and family. Our wedding celebration was so beautiful. When editing the music video, I knew it was meant to be shared. I also wanted to celebrate marriage, especially now when people doubt that marriage works.

“I want to inspire and show them marriage is beautiful and God-given, especially with your best friend,” he said.

Adapting to the music industry’s changes
Returning to music didn’t pressure Theo.

“I was confident because my first and second albums did great. I just needed to figure out which genre to pursue. It’s been 14 years, the industry has changed and evolved. But I was specific about doing something that reflects me. I needed it to fit the current vibe but still stay true to my sound. I’ve avoided going hardcore amapiano or anything that strays too far,” Theo said.
Future of Mafikizolo
Theo assured fans that Mafikizolo isn’t splitting.

“We’re blessed with a timeless catalogue. People still enjoy our music. Our solo careers are an extension, not a replacement. There are unfounded rumours about us breaking up but those are untrue. We are performing together and have several gigs lined up. This is just an addition to the brand,” Theo said.

Upcoming projects in 2025
“Ngikhethe Kahle is now available for download and streaming, with the music video out too.

“I encourage everyone to download and support me as Theo. I am planning to bring something amazing in 2025, including an EP,” Theo said.

Sello Maake KaNcube speaks out after court drama

“MY wife is a better actor than me.”

Those are surprising remarks made by veteran actor Sello Maake KaNcube outside the Randburg Magistrates Court.

The 63-year-old appeared in court on Friday, 29 November, regarding a protection order he had filed against his wife, Pearl Mbewe.

 

 

 

 

 
The former Generations actor revealed that Pearl had served him with a counter-protection order, which left him visibly surprised. The matter was postponed to 24 January 2025.

Sello, known for his iconic roles in shows like The Queen, reflected on the situation with a sense of sadness.

“I think everything went wrong, and that’s why we’re here right now,” he said.

Addressing allegations made by Pearl that he had given her a chronic illness, Sello responded calmly, dismissing the claims with a touch of irony.

“She’s the actor in this situation, more than I could ever be. She’s the one who decided we should go to court,” he said.
