Actors who joined the telenovela include actress Kamo Modisakeng, who plays Dr Bonolo Mokoena, and former Rhythm City actor Tebogo Khalo, who plays a sangoma.

TVSA reports that actors Ayanda Borotho and Nandi Nyembe will play Nomafu Hlophe’s sister and mother and Thembi Mtshali-jones will play Lindiwe Dikana’s mother.

Former The River stars Nkanyiso Bhengu and Thapelo Sebogi will make a comeback on the show as Khabzela and Pastor Mdluli.

Lebo M’s reality show halted as tension with Carol Bouwer rises

Lion King composer and Grammy-Award-winning producer Lebohang Morake, best known as Lebo M, and Carol Bouwer, whose company Carol Bouwer Productions produces Lebo M’s reality show in partnership with Primedia were said to be at loggerheads; as a result, the reality TV show has now been delayed and the possibilities for it to premiere are slim, ZiMoja reported.

It was said that the pre-production money was allegedly misused and nobody was fessing up and taking responsibility which is what has fuelled the tension between the two. A source speaking to the publication was said to have disclosed that Primedia had allocated an R11 million budget set for pre-production, however, Bouwer only gave Lebo M a small portion of the money.Earlier this year, Lebo M made headlines and was said to have once again tied the knot. He secretly got married to a woman known as Pretty Samuels, Sunday World reported. They reportedly said their vows in front of a magistrate and a few witnesses. Lebo M was said to have previously been married to Ngani-Casara who was reported to have appeared in his 10-part reality TV show Lebo M -Coming Home.


 

 
Meanwhile, previously, because Bouwer is one of the three directors of Venalor NPC, she was linked to the National Lotteries Commission scandal, News24 reported. The company reportedly managed to score a total of R7 million in Lottery funding between 2018 and 2020. Venalor was said to have registered in 2012 as a non-profit company. However, even by 2020, the company was said not to have had a website, any online activity or any social media accounts in their name which raised eyebrows as it was unclear what they did.

SA reacts to Kairo Forbes ’: ‘Should’ve given it to a poor kid

Earlier this week, Nedbank aired their latest advertisement which features the daughter of late rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and musician Ntombezinhle “DJ Zinhle” Jiyane. While many celebrated the nine-year-old’s great performance in the ad, not everyone was pleased.

According to some South Africans who have headed online to share their thoughts on the ad, the opportunity should have been given to a child from a less privileged background.
It was a proud moment for mom-of-two DJ Zinhle who can be spotted starring alongside her firstborn Kairo Olwethu Forbes in a Nedbank ad.

The ad which has already gone viral on social media, features Kairo encouraging her peers to sign up for Chow Town — a virtual game — which according to Nedbank, is aimed at “nurturing budding young gamers’ entrepreneurial and financial management skills.”

While many have applauded the young influencer’s performance in the clip, not everyone is pleased to see another famous face featured by a big brand.

 

 

 

 

Taking to social media, some Twitter users pointed out that the opportunity should have been given to a talented youngster who is less fortunate than Kairo.

“Money goes to the money. The poor remains poor,” one person wrote about the ad.

THE REST OF SA CHIPS IN
It would appear that many others agree with tweet and headed to the comment section to share their thoughts.

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” wrote one person while another said:

“AKA would have been Soo proud of her though…”

The pair have left social media users weeping with sweet posts and videos of them spending time together.

Many are moved at how Murdah has stepped up for Kairo since the passing of her father AKA in February this year.
