‘It’s Macgyver’s interest to make sure no other podcast makes it’

Podcaster Penuel The Black Pen flipped the script when he became the interviewee on Gift Nduma’s business podcast recently. While the conversation was insightful, some people where revved up and didn’t agree with a statement he made about podcaster MacG. “It is MacGyver's interest with Podcast and Chill to make sure no other podcast makes it,” he said while discussing podcast monopolies in South Africa. He continued, “So that everyone, everyone is forced to watch Podcast and Chill, and the 500k views I get, go to him, and the two million viewers DJ Sbu gets goes to him, and lets says five million viewers every other podcast gets goes to him, to a point where ‘Podcast and Chill’ becomes so big it’s forced to broadcast every day, all…

Felo Le Tee teams up with Mellow and Sleezy on EP ‘The III Wise Men’

Since bursting onto the Mzansi music scene, music producer, DJ and artist Tsholofelo Mokhine, known as Felo Le Tee, has made quite a name for himself as one of the hottest talents. The amapiano artist is one of the individuals who benefited from the lockdown, which saw him establish dominance in the genre. His music was a staple feature at parties hosted during the first Covid-19 wave. “A lot of artists got discovered from those lockdown parties. Bopha, Adiwele and 66 were amplified with those lockdown parties,” he said. The DJ has achieved huge success with these tracks, along with Manca and Dipatje Tsa Felo, being played at every venue, which saw everyone echo his famous catchphrase, “Tsa Felo”. He has worked on various projects such as the soulful French…

Bonang spills tea on ‘Young, Famous & African’ , confirms she’s dating again

Award-winning media personality Bonang Matheba has been confirmed in a guest-starring role in season 2 of the Netflix hit reality series, Young, Famous & African. The announcement was met with excitement and it saw her trending on social media since the news broke. Matheba joined Nia Brown, Mthaux and Okay Wasabi on The Way Up on Y, for a chat in her first interview since the announcement. During her interview, Matheba gave her fans an update on her life, what she is working on, and being on Young, Famous & African. “I’m part of season 2 of Young, Famous & African and it’s wonderful, it’s a guest-starring role. I caused quite a riot in the 20 seconds that I’m there, but I enjoyed that,” Matheba told the presenters. Matheba shared…

Serena Williams ‘could earn an eight-figure deal for her memoir’

Serena Williams could make an “eight-figure” sum from her memoir. The 41-year-old sporting icon retired from professional tennis in 2022 and is now focusing on her upcoming memoir. A source told the New York Post’s Page Six column that Serena is “selling a memoir via (power literary agent) Suzanne Gluck at WME”. The insider added that there are already “eight-figure deals on the table” for the book. A second source suggested that a money-spinning deal might have already been agreed upon. Williams – who has Olympia, 5, with her husband Alexis Ohanian – was initially looking at offers for multiple books. However, she ultimately settled on releasing one book for an eye-watering sum instead. Meanwhile, earlier this month she launched 926 Productions, a multi- media production company, that already has…

tragedy Family left with unanswered questions after teen’s murder

A KwaZulu-Natal family have been left fearing for their lives after the murder of their 16-year-old daughter, who was shot dead in KwaDukuza on Thursday while walking home from school. Rethabile Mashile, from Shombela in KwaDukuza, was gunned down by an unknown suspect on a public road. Rethabile’s aunt, Thokozani Zakwe, said on her way home from work on Thursday afternoon, she received a call from a neighbour telling her to hurry because Rethabile had been shot. People who witnessed the shooting told her that Rethabile had been walking with her friends when the unknown suspect pointed a gun at her, fired a shot from behind, and then ran across the school premises, she said. “After receiving the call, I rushed to the scene. By the time I got there…

bester decoy Murdered Katlego Mpholo’s family intends suing the state

Batho Mpholo, the father of Katlego Mpholo, wants answers about how the body of his son ended up in cell 35 of Mangaung Prison, where convicted murderer Thabo Bester faked his death. The family also intends to sue the state. “We are going to sue the state. I am receiving calls from top legal teams who are willing to help us,” said Mpholo. Legal expert Nthabiseng Dubazana, from Dubazana Attorneys, confirmed that the family could indeed sue the state. Katlego Mpholo was positively identified when DNA from the charred body matched that of his mother. Bester was confirmed dead on May 3 last year by Correctional Services after he escaped from Mangaung Prison, run by the G4S private security company. A broken Mpholo said his son used to post…

King, Buthelezi to meet over Ingonyama chair

The relationship between King Misuzulu and his traditional prime minister, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, was expected to sour further as the king plans to forge ahead with the appointment of Inkosi Thanduyise Mzimela as the chairperson of the Ingonyama Trust Board. This was after Buthelezi issued a statement saying he was never consulted by the king before he appointed Mzimela. Buthelezi is said to be in favour of Judge Jerome Ngwenya’s continuation as the chairperson. A source close to the royal family and to the king who spoke to the Daily News on condition of anonymity, said in terms of the Ingonyama Trust Act, it was the king’s sole mandate to nominate the chairperson of the board and, even if he had to consult anyone that did not mean that he…

Bester, Magudumana make for epic movie

Coming to a cinema near you is Africa’s version of Bonnie and Clyde, titled From Mangaung to Arusha. The cast includes escape artist Thabo Bester as Tom Motsepe and Nandipha Magudumana as Martha Nitshini. This blockbuster is based on a true story that continues to reverberate across Africa. Thirteen years in the making, it is a story of romance, gory murder and Houdini-escape strategy. The escape from a fortified prison is mind-boggling, confirming that in Africa freedom can be bought with currency and cunning connivance. A gripping drama depicting the exploits of a ruthless couple who made a mockery of a country’s inept security system and humiliated our very own Sherlock Homes (Bheki Cele). The lyrics and sound bites were provided by Parliament’s philharmonic political orchestra. The film was…

Russian market abounds with opportunities

Last month, Chinese President Xi Jinping was welcomed to the Kremlin by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Xi’s three-day trip to Moscow is significant for a few reasons. First, in the words of the leaders themselves, it was an opportunity to deepen the “no-limits friendship” between China and Russia. Second, it sent a powerful message to Western leaders (who are mostly allied with Ukraine) that efforts to isolate Russia from the global order through sanctions have largely failed. Finally, it shows that the global economic order has reconfigured itself – US economic dominance, and the resultant dominance of its foreign policy, can no longer be taken for granted. What does this mean for South African businesses and investors? It means we have to consider the opportunities that may present themselves…

Disturbing political rumblings in Lesotho

In recent years, there have been global rumblings about democratic regression. But on this continent, democracy, in its many forms, simply fails to gain traction. The current example is Lesotho. A seismic development was experienced in that country last year when the Revolution for Prosperity Party (RFP) won elections – a surprising development given it was less than a year old and defeated established parties; uncommon in African states. There was hope that the Sam Matekane-led government would embark on a different trajectory given its lack of past baggage. But that dream is seemingly unravelling, no less because of that perennial problem – lack of democracy within parties – which is happening within the RFP. For example, one of the problems is that Matekane has adamantly refused calls from…

SAFA What is Safa losing if SA is hosting the Cosafa tournament? I believe it is bringing more revenue and employment to the hotels, restaurants, filling stations, hawkers in the stadiums etc. Maybe Safa needs a share from the revenue like traditional leaders. Someone was benefiting from Cosafa tournaments being held in South Africa, so now others have seen it. Now, they are complaining that if Cosafa tournaments were helping Safa as a board by paying Safa to host, it was not going to be an issue but corruption is killing them. Look at how Morocco has grown? They are hosting everything related to CAF. Economically, it benefits South Africans. Where do those teams stay when they are here? What do they or accommodation. We have…

Graduates urged to put humanity, health first

THE cohort of graduates from the University of Pretoria's 2023 Autumn Graduation have been urged to keep listening, learning, and forever try to open new paths as they step into their future careers. This comes as the university kicked off its Autumn graduation ceremonies on April 19 to run until May 16, with 11 908 qualifications to be conferred. Among them was Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), who was awarded an honorary doctorate by the university. Ghebreyesus is known for his leadership of several international health initiatives that have ensured the foregrounding of critical health concerns on global development agendas. He has also taken up roles such as being the chairperon of the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria,…

shortages eThekwini promises residents contingency measures to get water

A community member of Osindisweni outside Verulam, Wendy Mkhwanazi, says a council delegation that came to address the water shortages on Friday told them that most of the water cuts in the area were caused by load shedding. “After their visit and discussions with the community, some community members did receive water, albeit intermittently, while others are still struggling to get water from their taps,” Mkhwanazi said. The local Induna Yesizwe samaQadi, Marco Msomi, said he had been talking to the eThekwini Municipality about this issue for a long time. “We welcome the attempts they are making to ensure water supply, and hope that this problem is going to be resolved once and for all now,” Msomi said. The eThekwini Municipality had convened a community meeting with Osindisweni residents, in…

schools Feeding scheme firm owner blames political sabotage

THE owner of the company at the centre of the school feeding scheme bungle has blamed political sabotage for his failure to deliver food items to schools in KwaZulu-Natal. Breaking his silence yesterday, Manzini Zungu, whose company Pacina scored the multi-million tender from the Department of Education as the main supplier, said the main reason for the non-delivery of food or enough food to schools was because of community forums which recruited some politicians in the province to sabotage his work so that he would fail, which would result in the department terminating his contract. Zungu is a relative of AmaZulu Football Club boss Sandile Zungu and was once a director of the club, a position he has left. He said these forums were stopping trucks delivering food. “Our problems…

mystery Inquest after man’s naked body washes up on beach in eThekwini

Investigations are expected to determine what could have led to the drowning of a man whose body washed up on a beach in the south of Durban. Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said: “Police in Isipingo have opened an inquest after the naked body of a man was found floating in the sea at Tiger Rocks, Isipingo Beach, on Friday afternoon. “Investigations to determine what could have led to the drowning are under way,” Netshiunda said. Private security company PT Alarms said its tactical units and the Durban Metro Police Service were at Tiger Rocks where the body was recovered on Friday. “No other information has been received,” PT Alarms said. In January, not far from Isipingo Beach, another body was discovered washed up on Cuttings Beach. PT Alarms said…

‘declined private housing’ Two students tell of their hardships slumming it at UKZN

TWO final-year students on the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College Campus have been left without accommodation since February. The self-funded students paid the required R3 500 deposit for accommodation but the university has failed to allocate them a place to live for over two months, and they have been sleeping on the floor of the university premises. One student, who refused to be named, said they had been in constant communication with the university’s Department of Student Residence Affairs every day but nothing had been done. “We have been following up on the accommodation issue from February until now, but the housing staff seem to be distancing themselves from the matter. The only response we get is that they will notify us if there are available spaces,” said the student.…

hawks hailed Family of slain cop happy with life terms for killers

The SAPS Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) has been hailed by the family of Sergeant Sibongile Mbanjwa who was killed in May 2021. Sergeant Mbanjwa was stationed at Phoenix detectives and her killers were sentenced by the Ntuzuma Magistrate’s Court on Friday. Siyabonga Dlungwana, who was Sergeant Mbanjwa’s boyfriend, said if it was not for the police and all the parties involved, who dedicated themselves to solving the case, they were not going to receive closure and be able to forgive. Sergeant Mbanjwa was with Dlungwana in a parked vehicle on Ndwedwe Road in Verulam, when two armed brothers Nkosikhona Luthuli, 28 and Kusakwendoda Luthuli 42, accosted them and made certain demands. Dlungwana tried to flee but the brothers fired shots at the vehicle, fatally wounding Mbanjwa and the…

south coast accident Paramedics try in vain to save girl’s life after crash

A bystander and paramedics tried to save a girl, 9, who was injured when two vehicles crashed on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday night. KwaZulu Private Ambulance (KZPA) spokesperson Chantell Botha said a child died on the R620 in Oslo Beach. Botha said that on Saturday night, the KZPA service responded to the R620 Oslo Beach after reports of a collision. When the emergency services arrived, they found two vehicles had been involved in a collision. “Paramedics found that one patient had sustained fatal injuries; one patient had sustained critical injuries; and one patient had sustained serious injuries,” Botha said. “A bystander had started resuscitation efforts on the patient with fatal injuries, and paramedics quickly continued resuscitation efforts. Sadly, despite resuscitation efforts, the patient was declared dead on…

Become a link in the chain to beat killer malaria

While the current war and recent pandemic have gripped the world’s attention in terms of people dying from unnatural causes, there is a silent killer that claims hundreds of thousands of lives on the African continent every year. Malaria remains a deadly disease, with millions of people affected, and its victims often small children under the age of five. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), in 2021 nearly half the world’s population was at risk of malaria. There were nearly 247 million cases reported that year and an estimated 619 000 of malaria deaths. Africa has the highest malaria rate, accounting for 95% of global malaria cases and 96% of malaria deaths. Tragically, children under five account for 80% of malaria deaths in Africa. With World Malaria Day…

Time for SA prisons to get smart

Convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester’s prison escape has shined the spotlight on how dysfunctional the South African prison system is. Despite the government’s inaction over the past 20 years to address corruption in these prisons, prompt action is now necessary to establish a sense of order in the current circumstances. Thus, South Africa must look towards innovative prisons driven by fourth industrial revolution (4IR) technologies to bring change. Just over 20 years ago, the ANC launched the Jali Commission, which was an investigation into the state of South African prison systems. The Jali Commission’s findings alerted the government that the South African prison system was characterised by corruption, violence, sexual violence, fraud, mismanagement, embezzlement, and the drug trade. The system is corrupt to its core, with some Correctional Services…

Weekend wins and losess for South Africa

South Africa’s second venture into Europe’s United Rugby Championship (URC) has reached the quarter-finals stage after the weekend’s final round of fixtures and three of the four local teams will contest the May 5 play-offs. South Africa’s Stormers won the inaugural URC by beating their countrymen from Pretoria, the Bulls, in Cape Town and this mouth-watering showdown between north and south is to be repeated in one of the quarter-finals. It is a pity that this means a top local team will be knocked out early and it could have been avoided if matters had panned out differently in a dramatic match in Durban between the Sharks and Munster. The Sharks looked certain to beat the Irishmen when they enjoyed a commanding 22-3 lead but they disintegrated in the second…

Scramble to leave Sudan

KHARTOUM: The US and the UK said their armed forces helped staff from both embassies get out of Sudan, but evacuations by some other countries faced problems yesterday as rival military factions battled in the capital Khartoum. The eruption of fighting eight days ago between the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group has triggered a humanitarian crisis, killed 400 people and trapped many thousands of civilians in their homes. As people attempted to flee the chaos and foreign countries tried to pull out their nationals, gunfire rang out across the capital and dark smoke hung overhead. The warring sides accused each other of attacking a convoy of French nationals, both saying one French person was wounded. France’s Foreign Ministry, which had earlier said it was evacuating diplomatic staff…

Musk’s ‘Twitter Blue’ still has some high-profilers ticked off

Twitter’s blue ticks were reinstated on some media, celebrity and other high profile accounts at the weekend – a move protested by many of the recipients. Once a free sign of authenticity and fame, blue ticks must now be bought by subscribers for $8 (about R144) a month, Twitter says. Non-paying accounts that had a blue tick lost it on Thursday, as owner Elon Musk implemented a strategy, dubbed “Twitter Blue”, to generate new revenue, announced last year. Only a tiny fraction of blue-ticked users subscribed – less than 5% of the 407 000 profiles affected, according to Travis Brown, a Berlin-based software developer who tracks social-media platforms. But on Friday and Saturday, a number of celebrities regained their blue ticks, seemingly without action on their part, including author…

Official charged over migrant’s death

Mexico City: A top Mexican immigration official has been charged over the deaths of 40 migrants in a fire at a detention centre last month. Salvador Gonzalez Guerrero, head of the National Institute of Migration in Chihuahua, was charged with murder, injury and unlawful exercise of public service. The magistrate ordered that Gonzalez Guerrero be remanded in custody. Authorities said neither immigration nor security personnel attempted to evacuate the migrants after the fire in Ciudad Juarez started when a migrant set fire to the mattress to protest against his possible deportation. | AFP…

Washington: US gymnastics star Simone Biles and NFL Houston Texans safety Jonathan Owens announced their marriage on Saturday with photos of their special day posted on social media. It’s a happy ending for Biles, the 2016 Rio Olympic all-around champion and a five-time world all-around champion, and Owens, who signed for the Texans in 2019. The couple announced their engagement in February of last year and among the pictures posted was one with them in front of a minister. “I do (heart emoji) officially owens (heart emoji),” Biles posted on her Instagram account. | AFP…

Traumatised MI6 spy kills own child

LONDON: A traumatised spy working for the UK secret service MI6 killed his child after returning from a Taliban camp where he was on a secret mission, The Times said, citing leaked intelligence documents MI6 sent the man to Waziristan, Pakistan to go undercover in a base of the Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters. He posed as a jihadi fighter and had to wash dismembered bodies of Taliban soldiers before burying themand also witnessed beheadings. After returning to the UK, the man was in “extreme stress”, had violent outbursts and suffered flashbacks. Eventually, he murdered his own child. He is now in a psychiatric facility. | Sputnik…

Smugglers allured by Iran’s cheap diesel

TEHRAN: Iranian deputy oil minister Jalil Salari said nearly 10 million litres of diesel is smuggled out of the Islamic republic per day due to its competitive price. Salari, who is also MD of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company said on Saturday that the price of 1 litre of diesel in Iran was around 8 US cents cheaper than that of its surrounding countries. He added that the differences in diesel prices between Iran and its neighbors have made smuggling an alluring activity. | Xinhua…

Sekhukhune end Chiefs’ unbeaten run

Sekhukhune United (1) 1 Seabi Kaizer Chiefs 0 Chiefs missed the chance to reduce the gap to the highly valuable second-place Caf Champions League qualifying spot when they fell to a ninth defeat of the season with this loss to Sekhukhune at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane yesterday. The 1-0 loss ended a run of seven games in all competitions without defeat for Chiefs and keeps the Soweto Giants firmly rooted in fourth spot in the Premiership log on 41 points, five points behind second-placed Orlando Pirates. It took Sekhukhune just four minutes to open the scoring. Sammy Seabi put them ahead with a right-footed shot from the centre of the box. Ashley Du Preez, meanwhile, wasted a chance to bring Chiefs level six minutes later. Keagan Dolly swung in…

Sharks await news on Kolisi and Bosch’s injuries

South Africa is holding its breath that scans taken yesterday on the injured knee of Siya Kolisi reveal no serious damage after the Springbok captain hyper-extended his leg eight minutes into his team’s 22-22 draw with Munster on Saturday night. If the Springbok captain has torn his cruciate ligaments, then he will be touch-and-go to lead the Boks at the World Cup in September. It is encouraging that Kolisi had the knee strapped up and continued to play for a few minutes before calling it a day. Also, after the match, he was seen walking on the field thanking fans. That is a suggestion that the injury is not calamitous. Director of rugby Neil Powell said: “We’ll have to wait for the doctor to do a proper assessment on Siya’s…

SuperSport survive AmaZulu fightback

Supersport United (1) 2 Masako 15, Lungu 63 AmaZulu (0) 1 Ntuli 73 SUPERSPORT survived a late surge to edge AmaZulu at Tuks Stadium yesterday. Matsatsantsa moved back above Orlando Pirates into the Caf Champions League qualifying spot, while AmaZulu remained in 12th place, three points above the relegation zone. In-form Thapelo Maseko scored his fourth goal of the campaign as he opened the scoring for the hosts in the 15th minute. Maseko took advantage of weak AmaZulu defending and was expertly found by Ghampani Lungu. AmaZulu could not live with the two flying wingers and they combined once again to take the game away from the visitors in the 63rd minute. Maseko turned provider this time around as he created space outside before whipping in a cross for Lungu,…

Manchester marches to Wembley finale

MANCHESTER United beat Brighton & Hove Albion on penalties at Wembley last night to set up an FA Cup final against treble-chasing Manchester City. Victor Lindelof scored the decisive spot-kick as Erik ten Hag’s team won 7-6 following a miss by Solly March, staying on course for a domestic cup double. The semi-final finished 0-0 after extra-time, with neither side showing the cutting edge required to break the deadlock. Ten Hag made three changes from his team’s Europa League horror show in Sevilla in midweek. Luke Shaw came in at centre-back for the suspended Harry Maguire, with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes replacing Jadon Sancho and Marcel Sabitzer. United have already won League Cup this season to end a six-year trophy drought and are in a strong position to finish…

Sundowns not getting carried away

IT could well have been the colours of their opposition’s jerseys that had coach Rhulani Mokwena reluctant to consider Mamelodi Sundowns’ Champions League semi-final spot secured. His team, having smashed CR Belouizdad 4-1 in the quarter-final first leg at Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers on Saturday, Mokwena spoke of how “stranger things have happened” in the game. “We’re keeping our feet firmly on the ground. It is only halftime,” Mokwena said. “Stranger things have happened in football. So, we have lots of humility because we still have to face a very good side in Pretoria, a side that has a top coach and top players. It is only halfway.” A fantastic student of the game, Mokwena was no doubt thinking of the famous “one night in Istanbul” episode when English…

Time is on Stormers’ side

Less will be more for the Stormers as they prepare for a quarter-final meeting with the Bulls in two weeks’ time, but first key players will get a rest before their final preparation for the North versus South derby begins ahead of the May 6 decider. The Stormers are counting their blessings as this break, due to the play-offs of the Champions Cup, comes at the right time as the team suffered some serious injuries last Friday against Benetton. They won the match in Stellenbosch 38-22 to claim third spot on the URC standings, but the victory came at a heavy cost. Locks Ruben van Heerden and Ernst van Rhyn are on crutches after first-half knee injuries against the Italian side and winger Seabelo Senatla suffered a concussion and will…

Pirates are locked onto their target

Orlando Pirates are becoming addicted to winning and they will fight tooth and nail to finish second in the Premiership and win the Nedbank Cup. Arguably the best team in domestic football during the first half of the season after winning the MTN8, Pirates’ form deteriorated in the Premiership after the World Cup and they lost out on the title race to Mamelodi Sundowns, who wrapped up their sixth successive title in a row. However, not all is lost for the Buccaneers. They are gunning for a strong finish to the season - claiming the second spot in the league to qualify for the CAF Champions League next season alongside Sundowns; and also possibly winning the Nedbank Cup. As far as those ambitions are concerned, Pirates have their fate in…

Safa in ‘good financial standing’ despite their losses

SAFA chief executive Tebogo Motlanthe says the association is in “good financial standing” after incurring an annual loss of only R2.9-million in the last financial year. Safa had a busy 2022 as various national teams, junior and senior, were scattered across South Africa and the continent playing in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches. Moreover, there was the matter of Banyana Banyana competing in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations – a tournament that they had to be handsomely rewarded for after winning it for the first time in Morocco last year. Some of the national teams’ dues were settled by the various competitions they were competing in, but Safa still had to dig deep to fund certain events. Having received R51m from Fifa and R17m from Caf for operations…

Newcastle demolish shambolic Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur’s bid to qualify for the Uefa Champions League suffered a hammer blow as they conceded five times in the first 21 minutes of a humiliating 6-1 defeat at top-four rivals Newcastle United yesterday. Cristian Stellini’s side were buried by an avalanche of goals from Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak, who both netted twice, and strikes from Joelinton and Callum Wilson. Harry Kane’s reply was no consolation for woeful Tottenham, who look certain to miss out on a place in the Premier League’s top four after a second successive loss. The north Londoners are six points behind third-placed Newcastle and fourth-placed Manchester United, having played two more games than United and one more than Newcastle. Fifth-placed Tottenham host United on Thursday and a defeat against Erik ten Hag’s team…
