Mzansi Today

Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung had some of the country’s biggest names at their white wedding but were over the moon when DJ Black Coffee surprised them with a performance. The couple nearly shut down Mzansi on Thursday when they tied the knot at a super glitzy ceremony in Johannesburg. Guests dressed up in their finest white gowns and suits to celebrate the nuptials, and were entertained by Manila von Teez, Cassper Nyovest, Shimza, and DJ Zinhle. But it was Black Coffee’s appearance that had Somizi stannin’ out! The DJ was supposed to be performing overseas but surprised the couple when he hit the decks during the reception. Somizi took to social media to gush over the moment. “My dreams came true last night. What a pleasant surprise. This man was supposed to be performing overseas and he decided to surprise me at the end of the evening and played at our wedding. I cried like a baby with excitement. Black Coffee, I’ll forever cherish this moment”. Guests at the we...

Two-and-a half years after meeting at a book launch, Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung tied the knot in a lavish white wedding on Thursday. While much of the nation kept hitting the refresh button on social media, in hope of catching a glimpse of the wedding, the couple revealed that the entire wedding will be aired in a four-part wedding special next month. The white wedding, and traditional wedding, held late last year, will be part of the Showmax special Somizi & Mohale: The Union, premiering on February 24. Additional episodes will be aired every Monday, ending with the white wedding on March 16. A trailer for the special shows gorgeous décor, dazzling chandelier cakes, G.H.

The white wedding was also attended by Mzansi’s A-listers, including Minnie Dlamini, Mam’Mkhize, Norma Gigaba, Cassper Nyovest,...

Rapper Cassper Nyovest came under fire from the Twitter fashion police for not adhering to the all-white dress code when he attended Somizi and Mohale‘s lavish white wedding on Thursday. Some tweeps went as far as labelling Cassper “disrespectful”. The internet stayed buzzing all through Thursday as people waited in anticipation to see who rocked what look to the extravagant Somhale wedding. The invitation asked all attending guests to dress in white with red-bottomed shoes, but Cassper seemingly wanted to be different. Tweeps weren’t impressed with Cassper’s decision, with some saying that he ruined the aesthetic Somizi and Mohale were trying to go for and that if it were them, they would throw him out. That is not to say the rapper didn’t look good … because he did. Check out his snap below.

The Nontsikelelo hitmaker took to social media this week to talk about his mental health struggles, explaining that no matter how hard he tries, he keeps sliding back into a dark space.

DJ Zinhle has been trending for most of the last 7 days and that’s largely due to the antics of her ex-boyfriend, AKA. In a move to defend the DJ, Amanda Black has hit out at her critics. It seems as if any time AKA acts the fool, DJ Zinhle has to deal with the repercussions. We saw this once again this week when Supa Mega decided to show off the woman he was seen kissing on video. He didn’t hold back, either, attaching a dog emoji (nope, we don’t know what that means either) to his tweet and showing the woman, believed to be Nelli Tembe, off on his socials. As a result, DJ Zinhle’s name trended for hours on Wednesday as many tweeps took to the timeline to sympathise with her. Well, some of them did. A number of others used the opportunity to make fun of her, calling her all sorts of names including “clown” and “popeye” – simply because she was willing to forgive AKA and give him one last chance, only to have things fall apart again. Having seen enough, Amanda Black moved swiftly to ...

Bonang Matheba aka Queen B has that influential spirit within her that makes everything she does or says go viral. She has once been known for her ‘go monate, go monate maan’ which simply means ‘its lit man’. She also happens to been known for the other trend, which says, ‘Re tsene’ which means ‘we’re within’.

Moments before Los Angeles basketball great Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and the seven others perished in a helicopter crash, the pilot had tried to climb out of layer of clouds, but the aircraft then banked sharply and lurched toward the ground.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) estimated Bryant’s luxury passenger helicopter hit the ground at a speed of more than 2,000 feet per minute. This is a pretty steep descent at high speed,” NTSB board member Jennifer Homendy told a briefing in Calabasas, a town adjacent to the crash scene. “The time from descent to impact was probably about a minute. Radar data showed that the helicopter had ascended to 2,300 feet — “he was trying to climb out of the cloud layer at the time” — a...
