Although it’s not clear if whether the account is still hacked or it is the lady herself behind these tweets, she is totally talking however she wants without taking into consideration the consequences of such nasty messages especially as a public figure. Mzansi reacted to the way police and soldiers are handling civilians and they are not happy at all. With that being said, the controversial Twitter account of Gqom musician, Babes Wodumo has come out in anger and has blasted this behaviour encouraging people to fight back whenever an officer or soldier hits them. ‘If a police officer or soldier hits you. Hit them back‘, Babes’ allegedly hacked Twitter account wrote. See the post below: Bongekile simelane @BABESWODUMO___ If a police officer or soldier hits you . Hit them back . Some tweeps had this to say following this Tweet: RAINBOW KID☔🌈🌻 @mashoto_ You should've started with your boyfriend when he hits you Diego_Chuene @Diegochuene If mampintsha hit you hit him back M O...

This is Masechaba’s second public blunder, which has seen people calling on Mthethwa to call her to order. Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Nathi Mthethwa’s spokesperson Masechaba Ndlovu is in hot water again after sharing an awareness video that was deemed offensive by many. American President Donald Trump may have inspired the making of the video as the language used sounds like Mandarin. Trump was criticized last week after referring to coronavirus as the “Chinese Virus”. He later changed his tune after meeting the country’s president. Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump Just finished a very good conversation with President Xi of China. Discussed in great detail the CoronaVirus that is ravaging large parts of our Planet.

Several videos showing the military and police allegedly ill-treating civilians during the lockdown have gone viral, and have sparked outrage on social media. Some of the viral videos purportedly show SANDF members forcing members of the public to perform physical exercises, getting physical and even confiscating their groceries. Several celebrities including Lorna Maseko have spoken out against the alleged mistreatment. “Why on earth is the military treating people like it’s apartheid… like come on! These videos are disgusting and inhumane! Like WTF! Are they going to other parts of the country and doing this nonsense- that’s not how you instill rules… sies mana!” Lorna wrote. While many agreed that the military could do better to ensure that civilians adhere to the lockdown rules, others said the military was right to humiliate people that “refused” to floor the simple instructions of staying at home.

Has Sarah Langa jumped back on the dating train after divorcing from her husband recently? A picture was posted on Sarah Langa’s glittery Instagram page, whereby she’s seen posing cosily next to a handsome man. The picture has been making the rounds and her followers are heavily suspecting that the unidentified guy is definitely Sarah’s newest Bae. The comments section was filled with congratulatory messages for the “new couple”. The top brand influencer was recently served with divorce papers by her media-shy husband Jehan Mackay. In the legal documents, he alleged that the main catalyst behind their divorce was Sarah’s obsession with social media. Sarah hasn’t commented much about her divorce. However, she stated that, she’s “tired of humans” – for probably invading her personal life. But then again, she hardly says much about her romantic partners in general – even after being quizzed about her romance with rapper, K.O, homegirl was on some, angimazi (I don’t know him).

I was fortunate that I had a family that could take Care of me (Most widows don’t) [sic],” she wrote. “3months later I got a job at broken vows and 3months after that...

It was apparently the deceased’s final wish to take his ride with him to the next life. South Africans have been left surprised by pictures on social media showing an elderly man being buried in his car in the Eastern Cape on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports claim the deceased was one of United Democratic Movement’s (UDM) leaders, Tshekede Bufton Pitso, whose funeral Bantu Holomisa would have attended had it not been for his coronavirus test. Holomisa took to social media to send his condolences to the man. He wrote: “Passing of Tshekede Bufton Pitso of Sterkspruit. My condolences to the family, relatives, friends and UDM members.

Sultry actress Lehlogonolo “Nolo” Phiri has lost her job as an associate producer in SABC2 soapie Muvhango for allegedly securing a role at a rival production without the knowledge of her boss Duma Ndlovu. Phiri, who worked closely with Ndlovu on the show, was removed from her position about two weeks ago after she allegedly auditioned for a role in Mzansi Magic drama series Isibaya without his permission. Two independent sources, who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation, said Ndlovu gave Phiri a role outside the soapie. A cast member of the popular SABC2 drama said Phiri, who played the fiesty Nikki in e.tv’s popular show Rhythm City, took a two-month break under the pretext that she wanted to sort out crucial personal matters. “She then secretly went and auditioned for a role in Isibaya, where she will reportedly play Nombulelo Gumede, a two-faced, streetwise and very manipulative person,” alleged the cast member. This was brought to the attention of Ndlovu, who alleg...

Unlike yellow, green, red, etc, black is not a bright colour but Insta hottie Lethabo Molotsi has made it look like one. Through the magic she works with her gifted body, she made us realise black is an extraordinary colour especially when it on her.

Amanda did what some people might find really bold. She proposed to Kabelo. Yep, you heard right, She proposed! I mean, for her it was only natural, after all they were really into each other. This was in 2002 back in their home town, Kroonstad. The couple’s first encounter was at a house party. Kabelo says Amanda took her breath away the first time he saw her and he actually declared that she was his future wife, not knowing that his words would come true. A quick stop at the shops with friends made it possible for him to get closer to her and they started chatting regularly months after this. Six months into the relationship, Amanda visited him at his place. They were just chilling and then she thought since she really likes him, why not propose? And then she did! Amanda says it was the best decision ever! The loss of family members from both sides put a lot of strain on the relationship, but it was Amanda’s mom’s death that really took a toll on the relationship. Amanda w...

Things get tight for Mugabe family as Grace Mugabe’s son loses cars. The Mugabe’s seem to be heading into financial ruin if news filtering is anything to go by.
