Gogo Maweni announces pregnancy

South African reality TV star and traditional healer Gogo Maweni is expecting twins, calling them her ultimate Valentine’s gift.

She recently shared the exciting news on social media, posting a heartfelt letter from a friend congratulating her on the pregnancy.


 

 

 

Despite dealing with ongoing legal battles, she remains overjoyed about this new chapter in her life.

Gogo Maweni is already a mother of three—her firstborn son from a past relationship with an unidentified American man, her second son with actor Sthembiso Khoza, and another with former soccer player Siyabonga Zulu.

In a recent update, she posted a video of her hospital visit for antenatal care, captioning it, “The best Valentine’s gift ever, Sabelo.”

Paul Mtirara dr@gs Inno Morolong to court

Paul Mtirara drags Inno Morolong to court

Radio personality Paul Mtirara has allegedly filed a defamation case against socialite and influencer Inno Morolong.

This development has surprised many, considering the two were once linked romantically, though they never confirmed the speculation.


 

 

 

 

 

According to reports, Mtirara and Morolong had a brief friendship between September and October last year before things turned sour.

Sources claim the METRO FM DJ took legal action at the Douglasdale Police Station after Morolong allegedly made defamatory statements about him.

It is believed their fallout stemmed from Morolong’s behavior, with reports suggesting Mtirara cited harassment.

The influencer allegedly escalated matters by making more degrading remarks about him during an Instagram Live session.

Earlier this year, a viral video on X showed Morolong denying any romantic involvement with Mtirara.

She also made a controversial statement, saying she would never date a man who drives a Suzuki while she owns a Mercedes.

Tyla features Sean Paul on ‘Push 2 Start’ remix

Tyla is keeping the momentum going with the release of a Push 2 Start remix, featuring none other than dancehall icon Sean Paul.

Originally part of the deluxe edition of Tyla+, the fan-favorite track now gets a new twist with Sean Paul’s signature sound, adding a nostalgic yet vibrant layer to the song.

Sean Paul has long been known for his legendary collaborations, from his chart-topping feature on Beyoncé’s Baby Boy to his countless dancehall-infused hits.

His addition to Tyla’s track continues this legacy, proving once again why his influence in the music industry remains strong.

Fans are already loving the fusion of styles on the remix, with many praising how seamlessly Sean Paul fits into the song’s infectious rhythm.

X user @KGSonline_ shared their excitement, tweeting, “Sean Paul SLID on that beat. I appreciate how this wasn’t just an extra verse added.”

Grammy Award winner Tyla signs endorsement deal with Nike

No doubt Tyla’s meteoric rise from recording in a makeshift studio in Johannesburg to becoming a global music star with a Grammy Award to show for it is extraordinary.

The 23-year-old has quickly become one of the most booked artists and has headlined several shows worldwide.

Against her big wins, she has quickly become a Hollywood darling and has managed to rub shoulders with a host of A-listers and influential figures.

 

 

 
Tyla has undoubtedly had a fair share of headlines with her sense of fashion. Barely a few days after making headlines with her Super Bowl outfit, Tyla is now taking her influence beyond the music industry.

The Grammy Award winner is trending after partnering with one of the most recognizable brands globally—Nike.

She now joins a host of star singers who have collaborated with Nike in recent years, including Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, and Drake.

After all, she has always had a soft spot for Nike. According to reports, Tyla used to borrow her older brother’s hand-me-downs to get a piece of her loved brand.However, little is known about how much the deal is and how long it will be.

Nike’s strategic move to expand its influence in Africa involves teaming up with Tyla. Tyla’s ability to blend music, movement, and fashion into one cohesive identity makes her a perfect fit.

The award-winning singer has a huge following and often thrusts her into top trends whenever she posts or gets posted.

However, she is also eager to have a sneaker line designed and named after her if an opportunity arises. “Maybe a Tyla shoe? That would be fire,” she said in an interview with Nike.

SA CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE WORKED WITH THE BRAND IN RECENT YEARS
Undoubtedly, her endorsement with Nike is one of her biggest wins. After all, the 23-year-old singer joins a host of South African celebrities who have worked with Nike.

Two years ago, Nike collaborated with DBN Gogo, Wanda Lephoto and Anthony Bila to bring Gallery On 4th in Melville to life.

MaWhoo airs her frustration over the alleged poor service she received at Life Fourways Private Hospital

Singer MaWhoo, born Thandeka Nontobeko Ngema, has strongly criticised Life Fourways Hospital for their alleged poor treatment.

The star took to social media to voice her frustration over the alleged subpar service she received during a recent visit to the hospital after her cousin fell ill.

 

 

 
MAWHOO CRITICISES LIFE FOURWAYS HOSPITAL FOR ALLEGED UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE
South African singer MaWhoo has slammed Life Fourways Hospital on social media for the alleged poor service she received recently.

The star alleged that the medical facility prioritised a white couple over her sick cousin.

Expressing her dissatisfaction with their service, the Gucci hitmaker told her Facebook followers:

“LIFE-FOURWAYS HOSPITAL service is very poor; they treat people like dogs. I’ve never been embarrassed like that. Ey labantu ababazi abantu (these people don’t know people) & it’s not the first time benza kanje (they do this),” she wrote.

‘I DON’T WISH ANYONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS’
She accused the staff of racially profiling them, saying that while her cousin could barely breathe, the hospital staff was allegedly rude and instead assisted a white couple first.

“My cousin is very sick. She can barely breathe, but instead, they are rude & ignoring, entertaining the white couple who came after her.”

She continued: “I’m still shocked because I thought private hospitals would assist fast; when we told them ukuthi we needed help, they said that we were rushing. Some people are so disrespectful. The only people they prioritise is white people. I don’t wish anyone to experience this.”

The medical centre has not responded to the musician’s claims.

Ex-Skeem Saam actor Cornet Mamabolo ‘T-Boss’ now a resort owner

With a career spanning years, Cornet Mamabolo has wowed many with his acting flair before disappearing from the spotlight, leaving many to guess about his whereabouts.

Mamabolo was best known for his own-screen character ‘T-Boss’ on the SABC education drama series Skeem Saam.

WHERE EX-SKEEM SAAM ACTOR CORNET MAMABOLO ‘T-BOSS’ NOW?
However, in 2021, he made headlines with his exit from the drama series that had thrust him into the limelight.

Years later, he has yet to play a lead role in a big-budget TV production. Despite his exit from Skeem Saam, T-Boss has had several cameo roles in soapies, including Mzansi Magic’s drama series The River.

 

 

 
However, the publication has since tracked down the celebrated actor, now making a name off the screen.

BUSINESS PORTFOLIO
Against the reports, The South African dives into his business, reportedly under his watch, from the finance sector to the tourism and hospitality industry.

Cornet Mamabolo reportedly rakes in thousands from the tourism and hospitality industry through his resort, Mabodibane Resort.

According to reports, he owns Mabodibane Resort in Limpopo. The resort offers several facilities and activities, including hiking.

Cornet Mamabolo is also the founder and owner of Digni Financial Services, which has since sprouted across South Africa a few years after its launch.

Not so long ago, he hogged headlines after it was reported that the actor is also into farming. However, the former Skeem Saam actor hasn’t openly confirmed some of the businesses as his.

Like those before him, he has had the opportunity to rub shoulders with several celebrities and politicians.

Cornet Mamabolo has been spotted with EFF leader Julius Malema and once rubbed shoulders with the South African president.

CARS, NET WORTH AND MORE
His bigs often implicate his net worth into the mix. Despite a colourful business profile, Cornet Mamabolo’s net worth is little known.

In recent years, celebrities have splurged thousands, if not millions, on lavish lifestyles. This has become a global trend, and South African stars have been spared.

Reports have it that Cornet Mamabolo has several cars registered under his name. In recent years, he has been spotted more often driving around in:

Audi A3
BMW X4
BMW 3 Series
