Minnie Dlamini has found herself at the center of social media scrutiny, with fans roasting the media personality for her past decisions, particularly her relationship with soccer star Itumeleng Khune. The backlash comes as fans speculate that every act of happiness by Khune, who is now happily married, might be causing discomfort for Dlamini.

Years ago, Itumeleng Khune reportedly wanted to marry Minnie Dlamini, but she chose to reject his proposal. Since then, Khune has moved on and built a happy life with another woman, while Minnie recently went through a divorce. Adding to the conversation, it has been revealed that Minnie is paying R10,000 in spousal support to her ex-husband, which has only fueled more criticism from fans.

Social media users haven’t held back, with some suggesting that Minnie may be regretting her decision to part ways with Khune, especially now that he appears to be thriving in his marriage. The narrative that Minnie’s current situation contrasts sharply with Khune’s marital bliss has become a talking point among fans, sparking debates and discussions online.

While it’s unclear how Minnie feels about these comments, the online chatter underscores the public’s fascination with the personal lives of celebrities and how past decisions are often revisited, especially when they involve high-profile figures like Minnie Dlamini and Itumeleng Khune.

Zandie Khumalo’s husband Mhlo set to marry a second wife

Zandie Khumalo is about to have a full taste of a polygamous home as her husband, Mhlo Gumede is set to take a second wife.

The couple tied the knot in 2016, and their marriage is blessed with a child.

According to Zimoja, a close friend revealed that the new wife is the late Zanele Mbokazi’s niece and publicist, Nonjabulo Mdluli.

“The families have already met, and there was a welcoming ceremony that took place a few days before Zanele passed away,” the friend said.

Zandie, who is a sister to Kelly Khumalo revealed in a recent interview with the aforementioned publication that her home is opened to a second wife as she is African.

“I am an African and completely for iSthembu, ngikhulele khona esithenjini (I grew up in a polygamous home) through my grandfather. I am here kwa Gumede ukuzokwakha umuzi (to build the Gumede name) and uGumede is the leader and the head of this family,’ Zandie said.

“I take direction from him’ my husband loves me dearly and I love him even. I love that man, and I care about him, and I want nothing bad to happen to him,’ she adds. “If egula nami ngiyagula (he is sick, then I also get ill), even abakhongi mabefika ekhaya (the lobola negotiators) they did ask that I leave the door open as a second wife might need to enter at some point.”

Zandie Khumalo further made comment about the alleged new wife.

“I wouldn’t want to comment about Nonjabulo, she is going through a difficult time at the moment and as a family, we support her fully during this grieving period and I shared that on my social media,’ Zandi said.

“Whether this story is true or not it’s a family matter but nje kuba mnandi manibaningi ekhaya mukhulu nalomuzi wakwa Gumede (It’s nice when you have a sister wife and the Gumede house is big) I need all the help I can get.’

Gayton McKenzie accepts David Kau’s apology

South African Minister of the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie accepts David Kau’s apology following disrespectful remarks from the comedian.

Last week, the comedian called out the minister on Twitter concerning issues related with the comedy industry.

Twitter users were not pleased with David’s tone, as they expected him to communicate better; Gayton was also not impressed.

David Kau returned to the social media platform this Tuesday to drop an apology to McKenzie.

“I apologize unreservedly to you. I could have and should have used a better approach to bring whatever issues the Comedy industry is facing and follow the right channels. I did not mean to insinuate or give the wrong and negative impression about your role that my tweet has created.”

“The proof of the work you have done in such a short space of time is there for people to see. Whatever issues we may have in the comedy industry can wait as there are more pressing issues and we trust that you will do your best to support all of Arts and Culture. I’m embarrassed to have caused you such unnecessary negativity. Please accept my apology,” the comedian wrote.

Gayton appreciated the apology, and looked forward to aiding the comedians.

“Thanks for apologising, I have the utmost love and respect for you and your craft. I’m excited about the changes that we will bring about with the help of people like you who has passion and compassion for comedians. Apology accepted wholeheartedly. Let’s make magic,” reads the Minister’s response.

Chidimma Adetshina, a former Miss South Africa finalist, has recently found herself at the center of a heated controversy regarding her participation in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant. With the competition heating up, Chidimma is making a passionate appeal for public support as she seeks to advance her journey amid allegations surrounding her citizenship and heritage, according to The South African.

In a surprising turn of events last week, the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant announced that the 23-year-old has been fast-tracked into the Top 25 finalists. This recognition has ignited a mixture of enthusiasm and scrutiny, particularly due to claims made against her Mozambican mother, who allegedly committed fraud and identity theft when registering Chidimma’s birth. These allegations have raised questions about her eligibility, leading to public outcry and calls for her disqualification.

Chidimma, whose father is Nigerian, responded to the swirling controversy with an appeal to voters through a video shared on the official Miss Universe Nigeria platform. “I am representing nature’s gift to the nation, Taraba State,” she stated, underscoring her commitment to promoting inclusion and acceptance. Drawing from her personal experiences of overcoming adversity, she hopes to use her platform to advocate for the power of diversity in building stronger communities.

The support from the public has been significant, with Chidimma currently leading in the votes, surpassing previous fan favorite Edeifo Aikhuele. According to the pageant’s rules, the top three contestants with the highest votes will automatically advance to the Top 10, making public votes crucial for Chidimma’s progress in the competition.

Adding fuel to the fire of this controversy, Guy Murray-Bruce, the owner of the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, voiced his concerns during an interview with Nigerian Arise News TV. He suggested that Chidimma has become a victim of xenophobic sentiments, particularly from those who question her dual heritage. “We’re trying to help someone who has been abandoned. No fault of hers. She is a victim because she has a Nigerian father and a South African mother,” Murray-Bruce remarked.

He further elaborated on the experience of Chidimma in South Africa, speculating that her thriving performance in the Miss SA pageant may have led to concerted efforts to undermine her candidacy. “That’s how I see it,” he asserted, indicating that Chidimma’s success triggered reactions that may have influenced her standing in the competition.

Amidst the challenges and criticisms, Chidimma Adetshina stands as a powerful representation of resilience and diversity. Her journey in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant not only highlights her personal aspirations but also raises broader conversations about identity, acceptance, and the importance of championing diversity.

As the competition progresses, the public’s support could play a crucial role in determining her fate in the pageant. Voting ends soon, and Chidimma has called on her supporters to continue rallying behind her. “I want to educate people on the power of diversity to build a stronger community that benefits everyone,” she emphasized, showcasing her dedication to making a positive impact regardless of the outcome.

Chidinma blamed for EFF’s split

Nota Baloyi weighs in on the chaos currently ongoing in the Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) party.

Days ago, Flyod Shivambu announced leaving the political party after years of serving alongside Julius Malema.

Taking to Twitter, Nota, who is famous for being outspoken said the former Miss SA finalist Chidinma Adetshina caused the split in EFF.

“Chidimma split the EFF… It’s crazy but it’s true. Her case exposed the hypocrisy of the leadership & gave the EFF its biggest dent in credibility. The DA was all too happy to deliver that blow. Meanwhile, the Patriotic Alliance is steaming ahead with sports diplomacy globally,” he wrote.

Nota also talked about the EFF supporters and how they’ve dumped the party leader.

“One thing social media has shown is how intellectually bankrupt the EFF supporter base is. Julius Malema has groupies & they are a cult like Cassper Nyovest fans were 5years ago. He mobilised on social media & filled up the dome. Where are those fans now? Nowhere to be seen. LOL!”

Congratulations are indeed in order for the talented former actress and poet, Botlhale Boikanyo, who has recently achieved a significant milestone by graduating from Michigan State University in the United States. At just 23 years old, Botlhale took to her Instagram to share the momentous news with her followers, exuding the joy and fulfillment that accompany such an accomplishment.

 

 

 

In her heartfelt post, she joyfully announced, “Graduate. Officially part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship Class of 2024.” This prestigious fellowship is designed to empower young leaders from Africa, and Botlhale’s selection is particularly noteworthy—she was chosen from a competitive pool of over 50,000 applicants across 49 countries. Her achievement doesn’t just stop there; she proudly declared herself the youngest fellow to represent South Africa on this global stage.

Botlhale took a moment to reflect on her journey abroad, sharing her numerous accomplishments that highlight her dedication and hard work. Among the accolades she received are the following:

A Certificate of Completion from The Government of the United States of America, signed by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
A Certificate of Appreciation for her community service contributions in the City of Lansing, awarded by Mayor Andy Schor.
A Certificate of Completion from Michigan State University.
A Certificate of Honour, recognizing her creativity, awarded by her fellow participants in the program.

These achievements not only reflect Botlhale’s commitment to her personal and professional development but also serve as an inspiration to others who aspire to make a difference in their communities and beyond. In her concluding remarks, she left her followers with an impactful message: “This is a testament to never stop dreaming and putting in the work!”

Botlhale Boikanyo is no stranger to the spotlight. She first garnered national attention after winning South Africa’s Got Talent in 2012, where she captivated audiences with her eloquent poetry. Since then, her remarkable journey has taken her to various prestigious platforms, including a performance at a Springbok rugby game. Her creative prowess extends beyond poetry; she has also ventured into acting, with notable appearances in the local eTV soapie Scandal.

Botlhale’s graduation marks not only a personal victory but also a significant moment for aspiring artists and leaders alike. She embodies the spirit of perseverance and creativity, proving that with determination and hard work, dreams are indeed within reach. As she embarks on the next chapter of her journey, we look forward to witnessing how this young talent will continue to shine and inspire others on a global scale. Congratulations, Botlhale! Your achievements are a beacon of hope and motivation for many.

Rebecca Malope says no beef between her and Lindelani

Rebecca Malope issued a statement regarding the incident that ensued between her and Lindelani Mkhize at Zanele Mbokazi’s funeral.

In a video that surfaced on social media, the gospel singer was cut shot during a performance by Lindelani; social media users were disappointed at Mkhize’s bahaviour and dragged him for being disrespectful.

Taking to Facebook, Rebecca set the record straight; she said it wasn’t Lindelani’s fault as he was only following instructions as he MC of the event.

“South Africa, my beautiful family, thank you so much for all your love and concern. UMama Wenu (your mother) is 100% fine. My performance was cut short because of the time limitations caused by the strict schedule and protocol that we all had to follow. It was not anyone’s fault. I am fine. Lindelani Mkhize and I have been colleagues for many years, and we share deep respect for each other. He was not at fault at all; he was just doing his job,” Malope said.

Dr Rebecca Malope Defends Lindelani Mkhize
Gospel singer Rebecca Malope has come to the defence of Lindelani Mkhize in light of allegations that he showed her disrespect during the funeral service of the late Zanele Mbokazi, who was the founder of the Crown Gospel Music Awards.
A video clip from Zanele Mbokazi’s funeral service recently made the rounds on social media platforms. In this footage, Rebecca Malope can be seen delivering a performance on stage. However, midway through her rendition, the music abruptly came to a halt. Curious and perhaps a bit concerned, Malope attempted to find out what was happening. Before she could get any answers, Mkhize intervened and asked her to step off the stage.
The video has sparked outrage online. Despite the backlash, Malope has addressed the controversy defending Mkhize.
“My performance was cut short because of the time limitations caused by the strict schedule and protocol that we all had to follow. It was not anyone’s fault. I am fine. Lindelani Mkhize and I have been colleagues for many years and we share deep respect for each other. He was not at fault at all, he was just doing his job,” she wrote.

In the world of reality television, the lives of stars often take unexpected turns, and Vuyokazi Nguqu, popularly known as Vovo from the show Short n Sweet, is no exception. Recently, her world has been rocked not just by the theft of her cellphone but also by the subsequent unraveling of her romantic relationship. The events surrounding her lost phone have exposed fragile trust and led to painful accusations, revealing how fragile relationships can be when tested by circumstances beyond our control, according to Daily Sun.

 

 

 

 

On July 7, 2024, Vovo visited the Kleinvlei Police Station in Western Cape to report the theft of her cellphone, which had mysteriously vanished while she was in the company of her boyfriend and other acquaintances. Vovo recounted the incident, explaining that after stepping out of the room, she returned to find her phone missing. “Someone who was in the house took it,” she stated, noting the awkward position this placed her boyfriend in: “I can’t say he didn’t take it because he’s my boyfriend.”

The unfolding drama grew more complicated when Vovo found herself grappling with accusations leveled against her boyfriend by her own feelings of doubt. As the investigation revealed no immediate suspects, Vovo felt trapped in a situation where trust was compromised. In her eyes, having her boyfriend present at the time of the incident made him a suspect, unsettling their relationship. The situation deteriorated further when he chose to distance himself from her, ultimately leading to their breakup.

Vovo expressed her frustration and heartache. “He ignored me. Then after, he told me he couldn’t be with someone who didn’t trust him. But how? What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to say he was innocent?” It’s evident that Vovo faced a difficult choice between her feelings for her boyfriend and the harsh reality of the situation. The emotional toll was amplified by her attachment to the lost cellphone, which contained valuable personal memories and information.

Her statements highlight a critical aspect of modern relationships: the complicated web of trust, love, and doubt in the face of uncertainty. Vovo’s belief in the saying “Trust no one” underscores a growing sentiment in today’s society, where perceived betrayal can quickly spiral into isolation and distress.

On the other hand, Vovo’s boyfriend, Titos, maintaining his silence on the matter, expressed a firm stance against the implications of theft. “I’m not a thief, and I don’t want to talk about it,” he stated, reinforcing his unwillingness to engage in a dialogue that could potentially clear the air between them. This reluctance to communicate further complicated their relationship, leaving Vovo feeling abandoned in her time of distress.

This story serves as a poignant reminder of how a seemingly minor incident can snowball into significant emotional upheaval. Vovo’s experience of losing both her cellphone and her boyfriend speaks to the delicate nature of trust in any relationship. It begs the question: how often do we allow external events to dictate the strength of our relationships?

As Vovo navigates this turbulent period, her story highlights the importance of communication, trust, and understanding between partners. In the end, it is the ability to work through misunderstandings that can either strengthen or fracture a bond, reminding us all that clear communication and trust must be prioritized in all our relationships, be they romantic or platonic.

Without a question, she is one of Mzansi’s legends, generating headlines with their unrivaled talents. Cynthia Shange is a South African actress and former model best known for her role as MaNkosi Buthelezi in the television series Muvhango.

We can all agree that Shange is the most famous face because to her modeling and acting achievements. The experienced actress and model was born in 1949 in the Lamontville area of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.

When it comes to acting, no doubt her Muvhango on-screen character of MaNkosi Buthelezi’s will take her to the grave. Whilst on Muvhango cast, the bubbly actress starred as Thandaza mother.

Shange was thrust into the limelight when she ventured into modelling back then, in 1970. Since her debut into modelling, she has been an overnight success, and her first contest saw her win the Miss Natal beauty pageant.

Her Miss Natal crown offered her an opportunity to contest for Miss South Africa, and she did that and came out as a winner. She did not just win the contest but was somehow the first Miss Black South Africa.

However, a few months later, she represented South Africa at the Miss World competition in 1972. Following her run in modelling and fame from being Miss SA, she transitioned into acting.

In the midst of her Miss World campaign in 1972, she scored big when she landed a role on tiny screens. It appears that she not only landed a job, but also made history as the first black person to appear in a major project. She appeared in the film Udeliwe.

A few years later, she joined the Shaka Zulu ensemble, playing Mkabi in the five-part mini-series. Undoubtedly, her great career was crowned with laurels. She is a seasoned actress who has received the prestigious Golden Horn Award for both her performance and her lifetime achievement. Shange has undoubtedly become one of Mzansi’s most beloved golden oldies.
