We kick off a new week bahlali. Hope all has been going well for you guys. How did you spend your weekend? Schools are opening this week so nje the traffic stress will resurrect after only a 2week breath of fresh air. The thought of traffic annoys the hell out of me. 
.
Let’s talk about news. Bathong!! Did you guys watch the President giving his speech after the ConCourt ruling of the Nkandla issue? I was left speechless shem. I am still trying to understand where we are heading as a country. The future looks cloudy, and from what I’ve gathered these past few years; people have no problem with the ANC, they have a problem with its presidential candidate. As for Mme Baleka Mbete??? #ThingsThatMakeMeGoTJO
As usual the cartoonists always find a way to spice things up and make you laugh. LMAO!!
Still on the Zumas, yazi when I saw the headline; ‘Zuma Dumps Wife’ I thought here we go again….kante SS is talking about Khulubuse. Apparently Khulubuse kicked his 3rd wife Mpume to the curb after he found out that she was cheating on him. She told her friends that she wasn’t happy in her marriage. Ok, what did she expect? You can’t walk into a polygamous marriage with your eyes wide open and expect to be 100% happy, especially at that age…ngiyala! Polygamy is for ‘old people’ in the game that have lived their lives to the fullest and just want to settle down and they are down for whatever. So Mpume should have known better. Either accept the situation you are getting into or just don’t put your heart through such in the first place. I’d understand if you are wife #1 because chances are, you walked in with no expectations of ever sharing.
I thought we were closing the curtains on the Boity and Cassper after Boity’s revelation on True Love Magazine, but clearly I was wrong. Now something else has come up. Boity denied that Cassper had cheated on her, she said they broke up because he was too busy and said he wanted to push his career. You guys then called out Cassper’s cheating. Now SS has revealed there was a third party involved. The lady’s name is Thandeka Rapisi and she met Cassper in November last year at Taboo Night club where she works. Cassper has been seen at Taboo by Thandeka’s friends when he was there to pick her up. Thandeka denied that she’s in a relationship with Cassper, she said ‘F*ck You’ to the SS team when they called her. Lol
I’ve tried to play Ray Charles to actor/presenter SK Khoza’s drama for a long time now but damn this is getting out of hand. Remember sometime last year SK’s baby mama Morna Phatudi had spoken to a publication implying that LeeAnne was a woman that’s obsessed with SK and her? SK also denied impregnating LeeAnne even though there was proof via text messages between SK and LeeAnne. LeAnne gave birth a couple of weeks ago and SK covered the costs. So SK now has 2 baby mamas and he’s apparently in a relationship with both of them and sometimes he moves in with LeeAnne. I feel like I am watching Love & Hiphop Atlanta because these are definitely Yung Joc tendencies stru. Bathi uLeeAnne no SK have been seeing each other on and off for 5years behind Morna’s back. I once read somewhere, where SK was asking LeeAnne for money which he spent on a road trip with Morna. Yhuuuuuuu!! Relationships and stress. Can’t we all just love each other with no drama?
Not sure what to say about actress Lerato Mvelase and actor Solomon Sebothoma being a couple because this is too close to home. Well, they have both denied that they are more than friends but SS and its sources seem to think otherwise. I am close with Solomon and I love him dearly and I want to see him happy qha. Lerato seems like a cool lady and according to what’s reported, she is very much aware that Sol has someone special in his life.
I am really bowing out of the Team Melusi Yeni camp. He recently got fired by Rhythm City for drinking, his friend also kicked him out of his place because he was gatvol of Melusi and his drinking habits. Apparently he wasn’t paying rent but behaved like he owned the place. Guys, I am done! I wash my hands off Melusi. We need to do umsebenzi this time. Is it too late?

Lerato Kganyago is the new Live Amp presenter. She has taken over from Pearl Thusi. Some of the celebs that were in the running for the job are Thando Thabethe, Lerato Moloi and Refiwe Modiselle. Congrats to you Lala, you are one amazing human being wena and you deserve all the good things and blessings. Good luck on this new journey. 
Sunday World has reopened another can of worms. I don’t know how to write about this without laughing.
Do you guys remember this Drum magazine story where Penny Penny said he was Cassper’s father? Cassper’s mother is suing him and Drum magazine. Cassper’s mum says she never had any sexual relations with Penny Penny. Shame uPenny Penny said Drum lied, he said he never said he was Cassper’s father.
Athi he wanted to sue Drum yena self but couldn’t go ahead with it because he couldn’t afford it since he earns R15K which is for his family. I wouldn’t be surprised if Drum did lie, they have a reputation of reporting stories that the subjects end up denying. SW spoke to Drum Editor Noluthando Mthethwa who said; ‘…….we stand by our article and what we published’. Nazo ke!!
Then there is the Ringo Madlingozi saga. Apparently he was drunk on stage at the Diamonds and Dorings Festival. He got on stage and started swearing, which drove the fans wild and they started throwing bottles at him. Ringo has since apologised to his fans. He says this has never happened before, but this time he wasn’t feeling well and he took medication and a glass of wine to knock him out because he had told himself that he was no longer going on stage due to the fact that the show organisers kept on changing his time of performing.
I actually shook my head when I read the festival organiser Somandla Sobisi’s statement. Where was his respect for business when they kept on changing Ringo’s time to perform? He was originally scheduled to perform at 5pm, then an hour before his performance time, he was told things were running late, his new time was 9pm, then he was told 10pm…..I mean really now? No wonder he went back to the hotel. I’m not saying Ringo was right for swearing on stage, that was very wrong of him. But for Somandla to even make it an issue that Ringo was screaming at them is lame. You woke him up at 1am when he was supposed to perform at 5pm. How are you gonna wake someone up at that time? Worse after he had told you that he wasn’t well? Don’t mess with my sleep, I’d have screamed at you too. From 5pm to 1am??? Y’all aren’t respecting business yourselves.
*In other Festival and Stage news* Emtee didn’t roll up for his performance at Mamelodi. Now the organisers are suing and they want their money back so they can refund the fans. Fans messed up the venue, hurt people after hearing that Emtee was no longer coming. Emtee’s manager Bee Cee was informed of the location around 8pm when he asked. Emtee was scheduled to perform at 11pm. According to SW, they called Bee Cee at 1am, obviously checking up on Emtee but his phone was off. Yhuuuuuuu, safa ulo 1am. Anyway, Emtee needs to pull up his socks and stop this. It’s really too early for him to be pulling such stunts….too too early.
Aaaaaaaww, bathi uProverb has moved on and is dating former Miss SA, Liesl Laurie. He’s denying the rumours about the relationship and says she’s a friend, even though they were spotted holding hands and shopping in Rosebank. Shame man, let’s just leave Proverb alone he has been through enough. Move on wena Verb. Hehehehe
Kgomotso Christopher is bidding farewell to Isidingo. She says this year is the right time for her to make a move. She will be joining a show on Mzansi Magic. She told Drum; ‘It is exciting that I’ve been approached for a role in an upcoming drama series’. She says she couldn’t reveal anything yet. But then Drum reports; ‘We have it on good authority that Kgomotso will be joining a popular Mzansi Magic drama series’. Kgomotso says ‘upcoming’, Drum says ‘Popular’. Something at the back of my mind kinda suspects where Kgomotso is going. She said upcoming drama series right? If my instincts are right then it’s not a popular show, it’s actually something new. Mmmmmh
The Vatiswa Ndara situation is rough. She is going through it with her boyfriend’s exwife (Itumeleng) that has declared war. The guy and his 2 kids moved in with Vatiswa. She told Drum that Itumeleng has it in her head that Vatiswa broke up her marriage. Itumeleng says Vatiswa was dating her then husband 2years ago when they were still married. Vatiswa denies this and says she met this man February last year and they moved in together in December. She said; ‘He was alone when I met him. Itumeleng says they broke up in 2014, and I wasn’t there when that happened. Maybe other schools teach maths differently’ Hehehehe akagezi uMiriam bathong?
My concern is that there are children involved here. SMH!! I know that Itumeleng is still heart broken and hung up on her ex, it’s normal and it will take time. But if I were Vatiswa I wouldn’t dismiss this woman like that. That statement where she says ‘Vatiswa doesn’t know the truth about him’ is not something to push under the carpet no matter how much in love you are with the person. Remember Sophie Ndaba, stood by her bishop despite what was being said? I remember reading that she said women were jealous of her because Keith is a handsome man and women want him so they will say anything to break them up. How did that work out?
Have a great week guys. Do share what other news caught your attention.
