Controversial author Jackie Phamotse is set to return to the Randburg Magistrates Court on Tuesday for sentencing.She was found guilty of criminal defamation, crimen injuria, and contempt of court in 2023.

 

 

 

 

The charges relate to comments Phamotse made on Twitter in 2018 about former Miss South Africa and entrepreneur Basetsana Kumalo and her husband, businessman Romeo.The comments in question relate to an alleged sex tape involving the Kumalos and a young rapper that prompted the couple to secure a protection order against Phamotse.

In court, Phamotse’s position was that there was no truth to the comments and that she posted them as part of her writing process. Nonetheless, she was convicted in June.

After multiple postponements, sentencing proceedings were scheduled for earlier in February, but they were then postponed again, this time until Tuesday, on the back of a request from Phamotse’s legal team.

Well-known South African musician, Makhadzi, and former Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandela (TTM) Football Club owner, Lawrence Mulaudzi, could be walking down the aisle soon.This is according to sources who told ZiMoja that the businessman asked for the singer’s hand in marriage in December 2023.

In the same month, the Petroleum, Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (PetroSA) chose Mulaudzi’s company, Equator Holdings, to bankroll exploration of its offshore gas reserves and rebuild critical gas infrastructure in a R3.8 billion deal with Russia’s Gazprombank.According to ZiMoja’s sources, Mulaudzi and Makhadzi (who is the ex-girlfriend of DJ and producer Master KG) decided not to share their engagement news with the public. However, they have been spotted at posh restaurants and clubs in Cape Town – where Mulaudzi resides.

 

 
“Her PR team is trying by all means to keep her image clean,” the source said. “She is mostly based in Cape Town where Mulaudzi has businesses but travels to Joburg and Limpopo when she has gigs.”

When Mulaudzi popped the question, he reportedly gave the Ghanama hitmaker a diamond ring, but she has not been wearing it in public. He also allegedly sent a delegation to the artist’s family for lobolo negotiations.

Makhadzi’s manager, Maphuti Mothapo, played coy when she was asked about the

X users also brought up the fact that former University of Cape Town (UCT) Vice-Chancellor Professor Mamokgeti Phakeng was once blasted for revealing her belly button in a crop top.Many of us 90s babies grew up watching Connie Ferguson play Karabo Moroka on the popular prime-time TV drama, Generations.With all of the hard work and effort that she puts into keeping shape, naturally, she looks amazing in everything she puts on even crop tops.

In fact, a photo of her looking absolutely radiant in a cream-coloured crop top has left quite an impression on social media users.While many gushed over how great she looks, others brought up the fact that Prof Phakeng once had to defend herself from trolls when she revealed her tummy online.Many people headed to the comment section to share their thoughts on ageism and policing women and what they choose to wear at any age.

 

 

 

A lot of X users compliment Connie on looking this great.

“Prof is in the education space. What part of that dont you understand. There you need to lead by example,” one person commented while another added:

“Mind You, they’re both in their 50s but they’ll tell you that Prof is an academic and Connie an actress as if academics don’t have lives outside of academia. Both are women in their 50s who look amazing.

52 years old – Connie Ferguson ❤️
At the age of 22 years old, Connie Ferguson had her first kid with fellow actor Neo Matsunyane in December of 1992.
The pair went on to get married a year later in 1993 and were together for 5 years before going their separate ways and getting divorced in 1998.
Three years after her divorce from Matsunyane, Connie met actor Shona Ferguson in July 2001. Connie often describes him as the love of her and the two got married the same year in November. A year after they said “I DO,” the couple welcomed a daughter in June 2002.
Sadly in 2021 Connie Ferguson lost the love of her life when Shona Ferguson lost his battle to COVID 19 shortly before they celebrated their wedding anniversary.
Connie Ferguson’s kids have been her pillar of strength throughout her healing process and the outpouring of love and support they continue to receive from the entertainment industry and beyond is admirable.

“Her children are obese, how come their mother does not inspire them,” she tweeted.

When @KweziQuesta defended the Generations: The Legacy actress: “Unlike their mother they grew up with everything available to them. They’re not obese they’re happily rich.”

RealNorma_Kay responded: “They are fat.”@AbbeygailBooys1: “I think it’s just laziness. My mom has been exercising for most of my life, she would encourage my sis and I to join but we never want to. I am lazy and that’s why I’m fat…and that’s the honest truth.”

@Daisy_Entle: “Before their father’s passing they used to workout with their mum. They are videos of them on IG.”

@lepzaaa: “Maybe it’s the family genes –> They inherited the opposite ones… Life can be unfair at times.”

@majorleague1313: “Watch people crucify you for being honest! There’s nothing cute about fat kids rich or not!”

@jaayyy87: “1st thought that came into my mind.. like why aren’t they joining they mom.”
