House of Zwide actor Molefe (Mohlatsi Mafatshe) caught for stealing money! Dorothy from House of Zwide has finally found out that Molefe is the one who stole the missing money from the Zwides.

She was shocked when she was called by Faith and Msizi, asking her where the large amount of money was.

She was then fired. Dorothy spent the past few days trying to figure out how the Zwides would accuse her of stealing after she had worked for them for so long.

 

 

 
Little did she know, the thief was right beside her…, her husband Molefe.

House of Zwide actor Molefe (Mohlatsi Mafatshe) caught for stealing money

Molefe confessed to Maria, his colleague at the salon, that he had stolen the money. Initially, he lied, claiming he got the money from a friend who is a prophet.

Maria managed to extract the truth from him. Molefe admitted he was at the Zwide house to drop off Dorothy’s charger when he saw the money and was tempted to take it, thinking it would solve all his problems.

He told Maria he would confess, but she advised him to keep quiet and die with the secret. She suggested he move the money from its hiding place at Isaac’s house. However, as he was relocating it, Isaac, Dorothy, Ona, and Keletso caught him.

Molefe is such a liar, he went as far as the eatening Faith and Msizi saying he would sue them if they didn’t give Dorothy her job back, but he knew he was the one who stole money.

Thankfully, she got her job back after she went to confess that Molefe stole the money. She also returned the rest of the money that Molefe didn’t use. Fortunately, they agreed not to get him arrested. Eish, Molefe!

In another twist, Soka’s grandmother has brought a new girlfriend for him from KZN. She disapproves of his current girlfriend, Mampho, because she has a child.

So, she returned with Khethiwe, Soka’s childhood friend. This plan might backfire or succeed, but things are about to get hectic between Soka and Mampho.Meanwhile, peace has finally been restored at the Shabalala household on My Brother’s Keeper.

Mshengu has reconciled with his daughter-in-law Fakazile and his son Donga.

The family can now coexist without fighting or screaming.

Donga plans to invest heavily in his father’s company to help him recover. Fakazile is also assisting Mshengu by providing machines for his business.

However, this is straining her new relationship with Menzi, who is upset that Fakazile wants to work with her ex-father-in-law.

The big question now is who Mshengu will name as the heir of Shabba Snacks. Peace is a temporary thing in that household; we’ll see how long it lasts.

Kelly Khumalo exposes Senzo Meyiwa’s mother and her family

In the highly anticipated first episode of Season 3 of the Showmax Original reality series “Life With Kelly Khumalo,” South African singer Kelly Khumalo took the opportunity to address her tumultuous relationship with the family of the late Senzo Meyiwa, the renowned soccer player.

The episode featured a candid conversation between Kelly and her best friend, Wanda Baloyi, in which they discussed the challenges she faced with her in-laws.

 

 

 

 

Kelly Khumalo didn’t mince her words when she described her in-laws as “the sh*ttiest in-laws ever.” She went on to claim that her mother-in-law had resorted to muti (traditional African medicine) to harm her. Despite this, Kelly asserted that she was spiritually untouchable. She firmly stated, “I am a child of the Gods. If you remove me, it comes back to you.” She added that spiritually, no harm could befall her, and any weapon aimed at her would ultimately rebound on the one who wielded it.

The discussion took a dramatic turn when Wanda Baloyi commented on the feud between Kelly and the Meyiwa family, suggesting that Kelly’s daughter, Tingo, might not have a relationship with her paternal family as a result. Kelly dropped a bombshell by revealing that, according to her, they never liked her daughter. She expressed her belief that Tingo shouldn’t have a relationship with them, emphasizing that the Meyiwa family had denied Tingo as Senzo’s child.

According to Kelly, the Meyiwa family’s motives were financially driven, suggesting that they never truly loved Senzo but saw him as their “cash cow.” She recounted a telling incident when Senzo passed away, and his mother’s immediate concern was about who would provide for them. Kelly criticized their priorities, stating, “Your son is dead, the only thing you are thinking about is food?”

Kelly further revealed that Senzo used to financially support his family to the point of financial hardship, a role that she had to take over at times. She mentioned that the Meyiwa family had benefited from her financial support in the past, and they were resentful of the fact that she survived while Senzo did not.

The revelations in this episode of “Life With Kelly Khumalo” stirred strong reactions on social media, with some expressing surprise at Kelly’s candid statements and others speculating on the dynamics of her relationship with Senzo and his family.

Zuki Lamani – the Cape Town influencer who was once put on blast by Rachel Kolisi for being “thirsty” towards her husband Siya – is trending amid the bombshell news of their divorce.

The couple has announced their separation after eight years of marriage.

In 2018, the student went viral over her posts about meeting the rugby star, which she admitted was her “celebrity crush.” Their meeting came shortly after Siya was announced as the first black Springbok captain.
ZUKI LAMANI TRENDS AMID SIYA AND RACHEL KOLISI DIVORCE

 

 

 

 
On Tuesday, 22 October, Siya and Rachel Kolisi dropped a bombshell about their separation and impending divorce.

The couple wed in 2016 and have two children, Nicholas and Keziah. Rachel also took on the mother role to Siya’s orphaned siblings, Liyema and Liphelo.

Although the news came as a shock to South Africans, social media soon filled with commentary about what went wrong. Many X users brought up Zuki Lamani, who was put on blast by Rachel herself.

Zuki on her way to comfort Siya during this difficult time”, read a meme posted by @ZeeRight.

Another @karlie_momo posted: “Phakama Zuki! It’s time for you to fetch that Kolisi glow. Siya is a free agent”.

A third joked that Zuki was ready to take advantage of the “transfer window.”
WHAT DID SHE SAY IN OLD POSTS?

In 2018, Zuki Lamani posted pictures of her meeting the star rugby player on her Instagram account. In the pic, the half-embracing duo stares and smiles at each other.

“That Kolisi glow,” Zuki gushed over the married Springbok. In another, Zuku claimed that Siya had flirted back.

The pics quickly went viral, but for all the wrong reasons. Zuki – who admitted that Siya was her celebrity crush – was indirectly labelled “thirsty” by his wife Rachel, who left a comment under the post.

Pearl joined the Durban-based station in March 2023 after Mzansi’s number one radio station dismissed Zandile Tembe, the former programmes manager.

Sources told Daily Sun Pearl resigned because she found better opportunities in the government at national level.

 

 

 

“She’ll be working for one of the departments as she’s a qualified communicator and manager. At the moment, she doesn’t want people to know where she’s going until she’s officially announced by her new employer, but chances are she’ll be based in Pretoria,” a source said.

When contacted for confirmation, Pearl referred Daily Sun to the SABC.

“I’m not allowed to speak with the media. Please, contact the SABC,” she said.

SABC Manager: Media Relations Mmoni Seapolelo confirmed to Daily Sun that Pearl has, indeed, resigned.

“The SABC can confirm Pearl Maseko-Binqose has tendered her resignation from Ukhozi FM. The SABC wishes to thank Ms Maseko-Binqose for her contribution to the organisation and wishes her well in her future endeavours,” Seapolelo said.

Pearl was hired by Ukhozi FM in March 2023 when the station had been without a programmes manager for almost two years. The position was vacant after the station dismissed Tembe in 2021. After Ukhozi FM dismissed Tembe, legendary radio presenter Mandla Mdletshe acted as programmes manager.

Ukhozi kept advertising the post as it was alleged, they were not getting a suitable candidate until they found Pearl in 2023.

Pearl was not new to the radio industry, having worked as a Gagasi FM content producer and Ukhozi FM producer before she joined the University of Fort Hare as a communications lecturer a few years ago.

The station is expected to announce an acting programmes manager soon.

Musician, Paul Kganyago, better known as Paul K, has officially tied the knot with his high school sweetheart, Lindiwe Kganyago.

The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, 19 October, in Paul’s hometown of Soshanguve, Tshwane.

Paul K and Lindiwe’s love story started when they were young. Growing up, they somehow parted ways, but the two eventually came together, and now they’re living happily as husband and wife.

 

 
In an interview with Daily Sun, the 42-year-old said he’s happy and thankful to have stepped into a new chapter of life.

“It feels right and good to be a husband. As a Christian and a gospel artist, I have to lead by example. Having someone by your side as a wife is truly a blessing,” he shared.

Reflecting on their journey together, Paul K emphasised that their bond was formed long before they became adults.

“We’ve been together since we were young and in school. We separated for a while, but when we got back together as everything was different.

“We were older, and I took it seriously from then on,” he said.

His words of advice to young couples, Paul K said respect and compromise were vital in keeping a relationship healthy.

“There’s no formula for marriage. It’s about two people and their feelings. The most important thing is to respect each other and be willing to compromise.”

Now that he’s settled into married life, Paul K’s geared up to focus on his music career.

“I wanted to get married first before diving back into music. I have new singles coming in February and some exciting projects on the way. Now, I can fully focus on the business of making music,” he said.

Tyla’s album moved to pop category for Grammys, sparking debate

Tyla’s debut album, originally submitted in the R&B category, has been moved to the pop category by the Recording Academy.

Tyla’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric, and her musical journey has captured the hearts of fans across the globe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
However, her path to Grammy glory just hit an unexpected bump.
TYLA’S ALBUM GETS MOVED TO A NEW CATEGORY

Tyla’s debut album, originally submitted in the R&B category, has been kicked out and will now compete in the pop category. It will compete for the 2025 Grammy Awards.

The decision has left fans and music experts alike puzzled, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

This is especially so given her strong roots in Afrobeats, Amapiano, and R&B.
GRAMMY’S CONFUSING DECISION REGARDING TYLA’S ALBUM

The South African star, known for her viral hit Water, had hoped her self-titled debut would shine in the R&B category.

Instead, the Recording Academy’s R&B screening committee, composed of industry experts, moved it to the highly competitive pop category.
TYLA’S FANS REACT TO THE NEWS

This move feels surprising considering her 14-track album’s clear connection to R&B and African genres.

“It’s a strange choice,” said one music critic.

“Her album could have competed in progressive R&B, especially with its blend of different sounds.” Tyla’s fans feel particularly frustrated.
‘WATER’ THE HIT SONG

Her track Water dominated charts worldwide. It spent an incredible 51 weeks at the top of the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart.

The song also peaked at No. 7 on the all-genre Hot 100 and hit No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, according to Rolling Out.

These achievements make it seem odd for her album to be competing in the pop category. In the pop category she’ll face heavyweights like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Ariana Grande.

TYLA’S FIRST GRAMMY WIN
In 2024, Tyla made history by winning the first-ever Grammy for Best African Music Performance with Water.

It was a groundbreaking moment for African music and set the stage for her to possibly add more Grammy gold to her collection, according to Vibe.
THE POP CATEGORY

However, the move to pop could make that journey harder.

“The pop category is one of the toughest to win,” said another industry insider.

“Tyla has done incredibly well, but now she’ll have to go up against some of the biggest names in the business.”
FANS SPECULATE ABOUT THE MOVE

Speculation is growing about why her album was pushed into the pop category.

Many fans think it’s a way of preventing her from winning another Grammy.

“Taylor Swift almost always wins the pop categories,” said a fan on X (formerly Twitter). “Maybe they’re trying to make it harder for Tyla to win again.”
TYLA’S ALBUM

Tyla’s album, with collaborations from stars like Tems, Travis Scott, and Becky G, also raises the question of whether the Grammys are struggling to understand genre-blending albums.

Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You won Best Progressive R&B Album in 2020, despite its pop sound.

So why didn’t the Grammys consider Tyla’s album in the same light?
GRAMMY NOMINATIONS

Grammy nominations will be announced on 8 November. The ceremony will take place on 2 February at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

With first-round voting now closed, all eyes are on Tyla’s next move.

“I’m just excited to see what happens,” Tyla said. “I’ve always made music that crosses boundaries, and I’ll keep doing that no matter what.”
STILL HOPEFUL

Tyla’s fans remain hopeful, but it’s clear this Grammy season is going to be a tough one for the South African star.

Will she walk away with a Grammy in the pop category, or is this change a sign of a more strategic move behind the scenes? Only time will tell.

“I’m definitely my husband’s girl! Ever since we made it official, I’ve been referring to him as ‘my husband,’ and people often joke, asking if he has a name,” she said.

Jessica also disclosed that they prefer not to participate in interviews together.
INSIDE THE COUPLE’S LOVE LIFE

The couple, who share two children, have largely kept their marriage private and away from social media for a while now.

Their relationship has not been without challenges, as in 2019, Jessica accused Dlamini of cheating on her.

The actress used social media to speak out about the person TK had been cheating with and expressed gratitude to her source for providing the information.

“To you who is seeing the father of my child behind my back, you are free to be with him fully now. No more hiding. Enjoy babe. Thank you for your true love and care, ngiyabonga. I would never have believed,” she wrote.

However, shortly after everything seemed over, they reconciled and are now enjoying their happily ever afte
