Three years after her husband died, the musician Babes Wodumo made a post online about it. Her husband was Mandla Maphumulo, who people called Mampintsha. She shared a video from his memorial where she was speaking. The Gqom artist wrote about still feeling a lot of pain when the anniversary comes around.
She said the memories flood back every year. Babes Wodumo mentioned that her faith helped her find the courage to talk about him publicly. Writing the message made her cry. She thanked Mampintsha for their life together. She called him her pillar and her real support. Other people might have seen him as just a blesser, but to her, he was much more.
She referenced their wedding vows, stating only death could split them apart. She...
Wild move coming for the Springbok captain. Siya Kolisi is apparently heading back to the Stormers in 2026, taking a huge pay cut to do it. The main reason is family, as he wants to be near his kids in Cape Town after his divorce.
The deal is for three years, starting when he's thirty-five, which is definitely raising eyebrows given his age. The team's boss, Johan le Roux, talked up his iconic status and family values. Their director of rugby, John Dobson, said Kolisi will be key for mentoring young guys in their long-term "Project 2029" plan. Kolisi himself called it a return to where he started, saying his stint with the Sharks was special, but this is about being close to home. It looks like he'll finish his career where it began.
Another celeb is firing back after getting named in that endless lottery corruption probe. Media personality Minnie Dlamini just posted a lengthy statement because the SIU mentioned she repaid fifty thousand rand linked to a dodgy 2016 grant. She's absolutely furious, calling it an unfair public attack on her reputation over a standard booking.
Her story is that she was paid a normal appearance fee for an event that got cancelled at the last minute, which happens all the time in the industry. She says she had zero idea where the organizers got the cash and that non-refundable fees are standard practice. The reason she paid it back after all these years, according to her, is that the amount was small enough that it wasn't worth the...
Guess everyone with a blue check decided to get hitched this year. The whole celebrity wedding industrial complex went into overdrive, with a bunch of South African personalities making it official. It was a whole thing on the timelines, from super private ceremonies to full-blown public spectacles.
You had your low-key folks like the gospel singer Khaya Mthethwa and the actress Lerato Nxumalo keeping it quiet. Then there were the bigger splashy ones that everyone talked about, like the soccer star Andile Dlamini marrying her partner, former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi's fancy ceremony, and media giant Anele Mdoda's wedding. Even Cassper Nyovest's manager, T-Lee, and the maskandi guy Khuzani Mpungose got in on the action. It basically...
That singer Makhadzi pulled Skomota back on stage during her big solo concert at Makhuvha Stadium, and of course, a clip blew up online. The moment hit the internet a day later, getting all the predictable reactions about her giving him another shot in the spotlight.
She was performing her track Pikoko when he came out doing his usual dance moves, which got the crowd yelling. People online pointed out she was the first to ever put him on national TV at the South African Music Awards years back, a move that got her dragged at the time. Now everyone's praising her for it, in that classic internet flip-flop.
The post going around, from some account called maetsebane, thanked her for bringing him back and noted the whole "look at God now"...
The law enforcement just froze a house tied to that actor from Tsotsi, Presley Chweneyagae. The Special Investigating Unit got a court order to lock down a Pretoria property connected to his widow and his estate. They say it was bought with nearly nine hundred grand from a lottery grant meant for youth arts programs.
According to the investigation, a fifteen-million-rand grant got approved for a group called the Southern African Youth Movement. The money apparently got funneled through a company the actor owned, named Domestic Baboon, and used to buy this private pad instead. The order also names a guy called Alfred Sigudla. Nobody can sell or touch the property now while the SIU builds its case to take it back. They have sixty court...
Dude's numbers literally doubled. DJ Sbu just posted that his monthly listeners on Spotify jumped from one hundred three thousand to over two hundred thousand in just a month. His YouTube Music stats also blew up, adding another hundred thousand people to hit over three twenty one thousand.
He thanked everyone for the support on his new projects, calling it a growing community. The guy basically promised he won't ghost his fans again with music, saying he'll drop new stuff every month next year to keep people fed.
That LIV Golf thing in South Africa is stacking its lineup with huge musical acts. They're mashing up the golf tournament with a concert series at Steyn City over four days in March. The big draws are Calvin Harris headlining Saturday and the Grammy winner Black Coffee, a major global house DJ from SA, closing out Friday night. Another local electronic act, Goldfish, is also on the bill.
Your daily ticket gets you into the shows for that day. The country's sports minister, Gayton McKenzie, got quoted as saying he's proud to see an event that mixes top sports with homegrown creative talent, talking up tourism and national pride. The whole pitch is turning the tournament into a full-blown festival beyond just the golf.
The star keeper for Mamelodi Sundowns and the South African national team, Andile Dlamini, just tied the knot. She married her partner, Lulama, in a private ceremony over the weekend, finally sharing a peek at her personal life with fans online.
Known for being super private off the pitch, the wedding was a low-key affair with just family and close friends. She posted some photos from the stylish event anyway. The internet immediately flooded with congrats from supporters and other players, with people saying love wins and calling her an inspiration beyond just soccer.
