Living the true depiction of “marry your type” the two continue to live as true performers and entertainers showcasing creativity in their dancing skills.

As a young woman with various roles to fulfill, Judy can often be seen taking a break from the dance floor and on the decks, making others dance through her deejaying skills.

Many of her followers took to her comment section to motivate the young wife while commending her for the respect she has for her hustle. Netizens further rooted for how she continues to do this with the support of her husband, despite the public opinion of others.

For those who may not know, in the Xhosa culture it used to be a norm for a makoti to confirm to certain societal rules, with some set by the family. Those often included letting go of a life associated with outdoors, especially partying as the aim has always been seen as to build a home. Time passed and many couples chose to live their truths, doing what works for them regardless of what the societies deems as a norm and not. There are however some who still strongly believe and practice those societal rules strongly.

The late Anele Tembe, who was famously known for dating slain rapper AKA, was honoured with a library at her former high school, Durban Girls’ College.

 

 

 

 
Anele fell to her death on the 10 of April 2021 at the Pepper Club Hotel in Cape Town.

Receiving donations from the Tembe family, the library at Durban Girls’ College was designed by an alumna, Andrea Kleinloog, emphasising the recognition of excellence.

According to TimesLIVE, Anele’s brother, Vukile, said, “Anele loved her school, it shaped part of who she was. We knew this.”

He describes her as someone enthusiastic about studying and education, adding, “Libraries may have a long-term influence on a community if they are maintained regularly, and given Anele’s school has more than 100 years of history, I am confident they will do a good job of maintaining this homage for future generations. It has not been an easy road to recovery after her passing.”

“Over the past three years, it has been a process of healing, turning to God, and engaging in activities that bring us comfort – prayer, exercise, and spending time with supportive family and friends. Therefore, I am thankful for the support of my family and friends,” he told the publication.

Pictures of the new library were posted on X (formerly Twitter) where her dad Bab Tembe is seen amongst the people at the school.

Babes Wodumo seems to be the latest mzansi artist who might face legal action over a missed gig

Gqom star Babes Wodumo seems to be the latest mzansi artist who might face legal action over a missed gig.

Born Bongekile Simelane, Babes shot to stardom after the release of her 2016 viral hit, Wololo. Babes’ success drew in many gigs, including a recent event she was scheduled to perform at in Durban which has landed her in hot water.

Lifestyle establishment Endaweni Shisanyama has legally threatened the self-proclaimed gqom queen to recover an amount of R11,000 after she failed to show up for her performance at their All Black birthday celebration, reports Sunday World.

 

 

 
“After she confirmed her availability, we promised to pay her on the 25th, but we ended up paying her on the 24th as she kept doing follow-ups,” said the establishment.

“To our surprise, after payment the following day, she came back with a voice note saying that her sister Nondu, who does her bookings, mixed up the dates with Johannesburg, and she has three gigs on that side.”

Endaweni Shisanyama further stated that they suspected the above to happen as Babes had not made any promotional videos. “We told the person we were booking through her that if she doesn’t show up, we would like to get a refund, as we won’t need a new date or replacement … We believe all along she’s been in Johannesburg and did not have the intention to come to our event. She took us for a ride and scammed us.”

The above-mentioned publication spoke to Babes, who admitted that Endaweni Shisanyama booked her for the 27th, however, she shared that her manager mixed up the dates.

She said, “I did convey my apology to them, explaining that on the very same day I was supposed to be performing at their event, I had gigs and had to shoot for my TV reality show.”

Babes did not respond to the publication when asked about a refund to avoid legal action.
