Malawi's netball squad ended up fourth at the Africa Netball Cup after dropping the bronze-medal match to Zimbabwe 48-44 at Griffin Saenda Indoor Sports Complex. Coach Peace Kalua Chawinga said the younger players handled the pressure decently, and she viewed the whole thing as a solid learning experience, even though they couldn't adjust their strategy after halftime when Zimbabwe started exploiting gaps.
South Africa dominated both titles by beating Uganda in the women's final and Zimbabwe in the men's championship. Netball Association of Malawi president Vitumbiko Gubuduza thanked everyone involved, and he noted that hosting strengthened regional connections.
Ministry of Sports and Culture official Jameson Ndalama called it a...
Music exec TK Nciza dropped a proud post after his kid Ciza snagged the GQ Breakthrough Artist of the Year trophy. He threw up a pic from the ceremony with himself, his ex Nhlanhla Mafu, and their son all together for the big moment. The whole fam showed up to back the young artist.
TK praised his son for grinding hard and staying locked in on his goals. He pointed out that Ciza has a way of getting the separated parents into the same space, and he called the award a solid early birthday present. The music boss wrapped it up by saying watching his kid win beats everything else.
Ciza is quickly becoming one of South Africa's hottest new acts in the industry.
South African singer Naledi Aphiwe hit 19 and dropped some birthday pics on social media showing her in a pink dress next to a cake. The award-winning artist posted a caption about feeling more confident and refusing to play small anymore, saying she grinded hard and is stepping into the new age knowing what she brings to the table.
Fans and other musicians flooded her comments with birthday love and hyped up everything she accomplished at such a young age. The whole post radiated energy about protecting peace and trusting the process while becoming everything she promised herself she would be.
Cassper Nyovest scrapped his yearly All White Party after telling a fan online he was completely burned out and needed downtime before he collapsed from exhaustion. The rapper usually throws the celebrity-packed December bash that everyone talks about during the festive season, but this year he decided rest was more important than keeping the tradition alive.
He still pulled off a massive stadium show earlier this month that brought over 30,000 people through the gates at Toyota Stadium. After the concert wrapped, the artist thanked everyone for continuing to support his music and live performances despite his taking a break from hosting the party scene.
Zee Nxumalo showed up at the South African Music Awards wearing a Somizi Mhlongo creation that split opinions harder than pineapple on pizza. The media personality turned designer already caught heat for dressing Makhadzi in a white gown that everyone roasted online, and the amapiano artist's look got similarly mixed reactions from people arguing whether celebrities lie to protect friendships or actually like questionable fashion choices.
Some users said the whole thing looked uncomfortable and that Somizi lacks the style sense needed for design work despite being talented at other stuff. Others pointed out that famous people will wear trash just to seem supportive instead of being honest about what actually looks good, which might...
Prince Kaybee hopped on social media to tell people they need to chill with the holiday spending before they end up broke for half the year. The DJ said blowing through savings during the festive season makes zero sense when January hits just a few weeks later, and he called out anyone pretending they can afford it when they actually cannot.
He admitted he is sitting this one out financially and suggested other people should be real about their limits instead of faking wealth they do not have. Kaybee said the ones with actual money should go ahead and enjoy themselves, but everyone else needs to pump the brakes before they cannot breathe financially until summer rolls around.
Kelly Khumalo went off about polygamous relationships and said women stuck in them basically deal with the same problems as single moms because their husbands are too busy juggling five or six other wives to actually be present. The reality star posted a video saying these mothers are in denial about their situation, while single moms have at least accepted the reality of raising kids alone.
People online started speculating that the whole rant was aimed at her sister Zandie Khumalo, who recently brought a second wife into her marriage. The comments got attention partly because Kelly just revealed she is pregnant with twins, and her family history with polygamy is already public knowledge.
Andile Ncube called out the South African Music Awards after noticing a bunch of big names skipped the ceremony entirely. The media personality posted on X, asking if artists even care about showing up anymore, saying the invite used to be the hottest thing you could land in the industry.
Ncube remembered when the event had massive clout, but he thinks the whole thing needs better marketing and promotion to bring back that energy. He said the show still has solid infrastructure with a strong broadcast platform, but the excitement around attending is just not what it used to be.
Mohale Motaung apparently decided to subtweet his ex-husband Somizi Mhlongo after people started hyping up the designer's work on Makhadzi's white dress at the South African Music Awards. The actor posted a clip of someone sarcastically praising their fashion designer, and the internet immediately clocked it as obvious shade toward the media personality.
Commentary got messy when Nota Baloyi jumped in, warning Makhadzi about tax problems supposedly following people connected to her stylist. Some users accused Mohale of being jealous and said Somizi already moved on from their drama, but others were just there for the pettiness and filled the replies with memes about the whole situation.
