Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs veteran Reneilwe Letsholonyane could be finding himself homeless after failed bond repayments have resulted in the possibility of the bank repossessing his Fourways house.

According to the news and entertainment publication, The South African, the former footballer who is affectionately known as “Yeye” has been struggling to keep up with the payments for his R1 million house. The above-mentioned publication also reports that he has an outstanding balance of R450 000 in addition to this, his municipal levies have accumulated to a total of R730 000.

 

With the star footballer failing to meet the demands of managing his debt, Standard Bank has since taken matters into its own hands by heading to court.

After ignoring calls and failing to respond to letters of demand, news publication City Press reveals that the bank’s manager for home services collections, deposed an affidavit which states that the bank has no choice but to apply for an execution order.

The papers read: “A warrant for attached and ultimate sale in execution will not be possible without the court granting an order authorising the execution against the property. The nature of the debt is monies lent and advanced, secured by a mortgage bond registered over the immovable property of Reneilwe Letsholonyane. The amount of his debt is contained in the relevant mortgage loan agreement.”

Meanwhile, when City Press reached out to Reneilwe, he denied the allegations that he was ignoring the bank.

“I am trying to sell the property privately, so it’s not true that I have not been communicating with them.”

He told the publication that he has been clear in his communication with the bank.

“I have been telling them throughout the process.”

Gaisang Noge is an actress best known for slaying her role in etv series House of Zwide as Mampho. Some star fans may not know much about the actress because she is still fresh in the acting industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The actress was born on the !6th of June 1996 , bred in Vaal Triangle in Gauteng Province. She grew up in a loving home with her family. She was taught to attend church, attend Sunday School and even bible classes and youth gatherings at church as she grew up.
She has landed several roles on Television before her House of Zwide role. The actress had her first television appearance in a Mzansi magic movie called Efa Motho Motho. She landed the role in Ferguson films’ The River as Masseuse. In the year 2020, she was in a short film called 5Clicks. This year she landed a role as Karabo in Bo Mma, a Mzansi Magic drama series. In July, she started appearing on our TV screens as Mampho in the fashion soapie House of Zwide.
It is safe to say that Noge is a rising star, and more success is coming her way in her acting career. The actress has never used her connections to anyone in the industry because she wanted to rise on her own merits. She recently landed a role as one of the lead actors on the third season of The Wife playing Naledi.

In House of Zwide, her role is that of an intern House of Zwide. Mampho is resilient and can do anything to make sure that her name is at the top. This has cost her friends as she uses destructive methods to get what she wants. She can sabotage her fellow interns and even snitch on them to her boss’ daughter to try and earn points. When all fails, she tries to get with Nkosi, who is the son of her boss. Nkosi, however, chooses his girlfriend over her. This destroys the friendship that Mampho had forged with Nkosi’s sister Zanele to get closer to the family.

Actress and social media personality Khanyi Mbau shares her recovery journey after getting plastic surgery.

As the reality star heals from her recent trip to Turkey for her upper blepharoplasty, lip lift and fox eye surgery, a cosmetic procedure done to remove sagginess under your eyelids, internet users feel that she has done enough.

 

 

 

 

 

Khanyi is not the only celebrity to go under the knife as many celebrities have shared or speculated to have had work done.

Online publication MDN News on X (formerly known as Twitter) shared a video of her explaining the type of surgery she did.

Speaking to news publication, TshisaLive, Khanyi shared, “We first need to understand surgery and self-love have no relation. People have tried to cushion their discomfort about what they feel is taboo by labelling their projections and saying surgery is a result of a lack of self-love.”

Despite facing backlash from online users for her surgery Khanyi expressed that her procedure had nothing to do with how she felt about herself, as she viewed cosmetic surgery as a form of self-expression.

“I hardly talk about my son hey but now I am tired all I can say is that this week I spoke to my heart I need to prepare myself for the worst and all that will come. I am not wishing death upon my son but preparations are better than nothing at all. I don’t want to say much but I know my son is tired,” she said on her Instagram stories.

 

 

 

And now the worst has come.In a statement released on behalf of the Motsoeneng and Shange family, it’s confirmed that it was around 3pm that the little boy passed on at Busamed Modderfontein Private Hospital.

WHO IS BIANCA COSTER?
The model Bianca Coster is the South African woman whose image has been used by Twitter troll/Twitter president Chris Excel.

Briefly reports she’s an Instagram influencer, model, brand ambassador who previously starred in music videos, TV adverts and has over 240 000 followers.

She reportedly has an BA Hon in industrial sociology degree from the University of Johannesburg and is a South African of Swati ethnicity.

I want to shine a spotlight on a remarkable actress who has courageously tackled a significant challenge in her life—Dieketseng Mnisi. You might know her best as MaNtuli from the popular South African soap opera Skeem Saam, and believe it or not, she stepped into this iconic role without knowing a lick of Pedi!

That’s right! When Dieketseng was cast back in 2012, she found herself in a bit of a pickle. “I couldn’t speak a word of Pedi,” she recalls. But instead of shying away, Dieketseng took it on as a personal challenge. “I vowed to learn the language no matter what,” she said, making it clear that she wasn’t going to let a little language barrier hold her back.

Her determination led her to reach out to colleagues for help, especially Harriet Manamela, who plays the role of Meikie Maputla. “I remember calling her every night and asking her to translate Pedi words for me,” she laughs. I mean, talk about dedication! Thanks to her efforts, Dieketseng can now confidently converse in Pedi—she’s even managed to turn the tables and gossip-proof herself in the language!

Dieketseng’s journey is more than just about mastering a new language; it’s also about embracing her diverse identity. “I’m Tsonga by birth and not ashamed of my identity,” she proudly states, emphasizing the importance of learning one’s spouse’s language and passing it down to the next generation. As a married woman, she raised her kids to speak Zulu while seamlessly integrating her Tsonga roots. Talk about a multi-culti family!

 

 

 

 

But let’s not forget her roots in the acting world. Dieketseng has been captivating audiences with her talent since 1978! She earned her stripes in productions like Taximan and the Schoolgirl, Ziyabhenda, and Sarafina. Plus, she took her talent on the road, gracing international stages as part of Welcome Msomi’s Umabatha. It’s incredible how she’s transformed her passion into a career!

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the guidance of her mentor, the legendary playwright Gibson Kente. Dieketseng fondly recalls him shaping her acting style and instilling discipline. “I am who I am because of him,” she acknowledges, grateful for the skills he passed on to her.

In her portrayal of MaNtuli, Dieketseng delivers a character full of complexity—angry and jealous because her husband left her to care for their children alone. Yet, this fury serves as a mirror reflecting issues present in our society. It’s through characters like MaNtuli that viewers can learn and empathize with the myriad of human emotions and experiences.

Unlike the fiery MaNtuli, Dieketseng describes herself as accommodating and peace-loving. It’s clear that beneath the surface drama, she radiates warmth, bringing light to the stories she tells on screen.

So, hats off to Dieketseng Mnisi—a true testament to resilience, adaptation, and the beautiful interplay of languages and cultures. Here’s to more inspiring stories and characters that help us bridge divides and understand each other a little better. Keep shining, Dieketseng! We’re all rooting for you!

If you’re a fan of *Scandal!* and think you’ve seen all the drama the show has to offer, brace yourself. The upcoming episodes are set to deliver a bombshell that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. The complex web of secrets surrounding Tlhogi is unraveling, and it’s about to shake things up in a major way.

For some time now, Tlhogi has been leading a double life, convincing everyone that her unborn child’s father is Mdala. This deception was carefully crafted by manipulating DNA results to keep the truth hidden. But in a stunning twist, it turns out that Thapelo, affectionately known as Taps, is the real father of Tlhogi’s baby.

 

 

 

 

Tlhogi’s decision to conceal Thapelo’s paternity wasn’t made lightly. At the time, Thapelo was struggling financially, with no stable job or income to provide for a child. Fearing for her baby’s future, Tlhogi made a difficult choice. She chose Mdala, a man with financial stability, believing that he could offer the security and resources her child needed. It was a classic case of “better safe than sorry,” but as we all know, secrets have a way of surfacing, often with dramatic consequences.
Fast forward to the present, and Thapelo’s life has taken a dramatic turn. After reuniting with his family, he is now involved in the family business and has been granted shares in the company. This financial uplift has brought new hope and stability to Thapelo’s life, and with it, Tlhogi’s feelings for him have resurfaced. Realizing that her love for Thapelo never truly faded, Tlhogi is now faced with a difficult decision.

#### **The Truth Comes Out**
In a moment of vulnerability and honesty, Tlhogi decides it’s time to come clean. Gathering her courage, she prepares to confess everything to Thapelo—the faked DNA results, the reasons behind her choice to involve Mdala, and the emotional turmoil she’s endured. This revelation is sure to send shockwaves through both their lives. How will Thapelo react to discovering that he is the real father? Will he feel betrayed by Tlhogi’s deception, or could this be the catalyst for them to rekindle their relationship?

#### **The Fallout: What’s Next for Tlhogi, Thapelo, and Mdala?**
The tension is palpable as the truth hangs in the balance. As if the situation wasn’t complicated enough, there’s the looming question of Mdala’s reaction. Will he uncover the truth before Tlhogi has the chance to explain herself? The stakes have never been higher, and the outcome is anything but certain.

*Scandal!* has always been a show known for its unexpected twists and turns, and this latest storyline is no exception. As viewers, we’re left wondering how this shocking revelation will play out. Will Tlhogi’s decision to be honest lead to a happy ending, or will it plunge their lives into chaos?

One thing is for sure: the upcoming episodes are packed with drama, and we’re in for a wild ride. Whether love will conquer all or the truth will tear them apart, only time will tell. So, make sure you’re tuned in, because this is *Scandal!* at its very best.
