Actress Gcina Mkhize is begging for help because the person who bought her foreclosed property keeps trying to kick her out. The bank apparently auctioned off her place after she missed bond payments, but she claims the whole sale was sketchy and illegal since nobody gave her a proper heads-up about what was happening.
People online are split on this mess. Some are pointing out that when you stop paying your mortgage, everyone knows what comes next, and auction buyers basically sign up for the headache of removing whoever is still living there. Others are questioning whether the bank even had the right to sell without her signing off, while a few are straight-up asking her to prove she was actually current on payments before everything...
Murdah Bongz dropped a whole house on his parents over the weekend, and the vibe got emotional real quick. The South African artist showed up with keys to a brand-new place for his mom and dad, while his wife DJ Zinhle and their kids watched the whole thing go down.
Zinhle posted pics from the handoff and gassed up her husband for pulling off the move, calling it a blessing for the Mohosana family. The internet ate it up, with people flooding the comments section getting all in their feelings about the gesture.
Taco Bell dropped Mexican Pizza Empanadas at some Phoenix spots, and people can grab the handheld version of that menu staple everyone already knows. The thing comes packed with beef and a cheese mix, plus they throw in pizza sauce for dipping on the side.
You can order them in packs of three or six for around $3.50 and $6, which is basically the regular Mexican Pizza concept but wrapped in fried dough instead of those flat tostadas. The chain teased this at their Live Más event earlier, and for the moment, it's only hitting southwestern stores while they figure out if it's worth rolling out everywhere else.
A teenager in Stoneridge Park apparently beat another kid to death over some snacks, and cops are treating the whole thing as murder. Both boys were 13, and the fight went from arguing about sharing food to one of them getting fatally injured.
Police confirmed they're investigating the case, but they're keeping everything under wraps because minors are involved. Nobody's releasing names, and authorities aren't saying what kind of snacks sparked the argument or exactly how the assault went down. The neighborhood is pretty shocked by how fast things escalated from a stupid argument between friends to someone actually dying.
A passenger got killed when two massive trees got ripped out of the ground during a storm and landed straight on top of a Honda Fit operating as an unlicensed taxi near Makoni Shopping Centre in Chitungwiza. The driver and one other person made it out alive, but the guy in the back died on impact when the vehicle got completely flattened.
People online went off about how the city had basically zero emergency response capability to deal with the wreckage. One person pointed out that the council had just been seizing crane trucks for illegal container placements, and then when they actually needed heavy equipment to pull the car out, nobody had anything available. The whole thing has sparked arguments about whether local government can...
Ex-Kaizer Chiefs player Tinashe Nengomasha just landed the team manager gig at Caps United after they wrapped up their technical department overhaul for the upcoming season. The club president confirmed that head coach Takesure Chiragwi is coming back with Zambian assistant Ian Bakala, and Nengomasha is sliding into a leadership spot he previously held at Ngezi Platinum.
The Green Machine finished way down the table last season, sitting 26 points behind the champions, and they're banking on this restructured setup to drag them back into contention. Nengomasha has been leveling up his credentials through a FIFA-backed management program, building on his legendary status from when he swept both major player awards back in his South...
People are getting sketchy vibes about whether Kanye is actually showing up in Johannesburg next month since the promoters have gone radio silent. Monyake Group keeps selling tickets, but their last social media update was weeks ago, and fans are starting to wonder if this whole thing is legit or just another cash grab.
The anxiety ramped up after Kanye bailed on his Brazil performance when the racetrack venue backed out, leaving organizers scrambling for alternatives that never materialized. South African concert-goers are watching the situation spiral, with some openly calling it a potential scam online, while others are just hoping they didn't throw money away on seats to a show that might never happen.
Zimbabwe just slashed tourism fees by absolute insane amounts, and the government is saying this will make the country way more competitive for visitors and investors. Hotels that used to pay a quarter million bucks to register can do it for 20k, while five-star renewals dropped from over 5k to 2k. Aircraft licenses got nuked from up to a thousand dollars down to literally 20 bucks.
Boat permits got completely axed, and restaurant licenses fell to a flat hundred dollars across the board. The finance ministry is framing this as part of their plan to hit middle-income status by 2030, but business groups are telling them to actually gazette the rules first to make them legally binding.
Everything from guest houses to tour operators got...
An economist just torched the budget proposal as the worst financial plan the country has ever seen, and Professor Gift Mugano is not holding back. He says the whole thing is designed to drain money out of the economy rather than help it grow, with new taxes on cash withdrawals that will just make people avoid banks entirely. The VAT hike to 15.5% and the 2% intermediary tax are going to spike inflation, while workers end up handing almost half their paychecks to the government.
The really wild part is about $1.7 billion in unverified payments that nobody can account for, with domestic debt somehow jumping $900 million in three months. Mugano is demanding answers about $700 million supposedly spent on dams when the country has no new...
