Well-known South African reality TV star and media personality, Faith Nketsi has shut down claims that she has a new man in her life pending the finalization of her divorce.

This after Maphepha Ndaba alleged the reality TV star and social media sensation was in a relationship with Andile Mayisela. Faith took to her Instagram stories to refute the claim.“Guys come on. I’m not seeing anyone right now. I’m focusing on myself and getting used to the new norm. Please let’s not do this right now,” she wrote.

 

 

 

 

 

On Thursday, Faith announced her marriage of nearly two years to businessman Nzuzu Njilo had come to an end.

She took to social media to say she and her estranged husband had decided to go their separate ways after “consideration and mediation”.
“It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Nzuzu Njilo and I are in the final stages of our divorce proceedings. No one gets married with the intention to get divorced, however, through careful consideration and mediation, we have decided to go our separate ways. Nzuzo Njilo continues to be an amazing father to our beautiful daughter, who we are co-parenting,” read the statement.

Morgan Freeman is receiving birthday tributes from his famous pals.

On Thursday, the actor turned 86, and on Instagram, Michael Douglas shared a photo smiling with Freeman to honor him. The pair worked together on the 2013 comedy Last Vegas (alongside Robert De Niro and Kevin Kline) and on the Netflix series The Kominsky Method.

 

 

 

“Happy birthday to my good friend @morganfreeman! I had such an incredible time working with Morgan on the final season of The Kominsky Method. Have a great one Morgan! MD,” Douglas, 78, wrote in the caption.

Freeman replied in the comments, “Thank you my friend.”In 2021, Freeman told Parade magazine whether he plans to one day retire. The Oscar winner said at the time, “I think this business retires you. I’m not quite sure I can say, ‘Well, yeah, I’m going to retire,’ because if your phone keeps ringing, you’re probably going to keep working. So I’m going to stop there and say probably not.”

He added, “When I began my career, not when I wanted to be an actor but when it started, by that time, I just wanted to be a working actor.”

“You start out wanting to be a star of some sort, but I very quickly learned once you get into the business of stardom, that’s a strange dream to have,” he said. “If you can just get enough work to pay your rent, you’re going to be happy camper.”

South African actress Inno Manchidi is popularly known as Rendani in the Venda drama series Muvhango which she joined seven years ago. Her role as Rendani is that of a woman from the Mukwevho royal household who is a sister to the Chief and a working woman who worked in the city for her family’s company. Many of her fans have been stunned to learn that Innocentia Manchidi’s age is that of a younger woman in real life.Innocentia Manchidi’s role in Muvhango

 

 

 

Over the years, she has been unlucky in love, and the one time she found someone she loved, he became a drug addict and got her into financial trouble. Her husband, Hulisani, fought with his uncle Tenda, known to be ruthless, leading to his murder. This left Rendani, a grieving widow, forced to grieve a husband who hurt her instead of moving on. As if that was not enough, she fell for a man who wanted to avenge Hulisani’s death, and he stole from her as well.Recently, Rendani quit her job in Johannesburg to help Susan, her sister-in-law, run a campaign for the Mayoral position. She went against her traditional family values to help Susan win and made enemies along the way, including her father. After Susan won the elections, Rendani stayed and became her assistant, getting her in trouble with Tenda.Innocentia Manchidi’s age
Inno is one of the few actors who call Muvhango home, and despite having been in the industry for some time, she only held one role. She is also an intellect who has been concentrating on furthering her studies despite having two degrees already. The actress’ role is that of a person who is down-to-earth and mature, so fans may assume she is in her thirties. However, that is not the case, and Inncentia is still in her late twenties. The actress was born in February 1993, making her younger than her Television role.

Manchidi’s marriage and social media presenceInnocent Manchidi, the actress who takes on the role of Rendani, is not as unlucky in love as her role. In real life, she is a married woman who tied the note with her longtime boyfriend, Mpho Manchidi. The two got married in 2019 and are still going strong and building a business together. Her social media presence allows her fans to look into her day-to-day life and career moves.

Botlhale Boikanyo, 21, made history when she won SA’s Got Talent for her electrifying poetry at the tender age of 11.

Over a decade later, the young woman has now grown into her own and knows exactly what she wants to achieve in her life.

 

 

 

 

 
Looking back, she says the win provided a way for her family to escape a cycle of poverty and opened her world to possibilities she never imagined.

“When I got that big break, I was hungry enough for it, and had to make everything else work. I missed school for days, but I made sure that all my assignments were done,” she says.

Her achievements include being awarded the SATMA Best Praise Singer Award, performing at the televised live ceremony in 2013, and performing a tribute to Madiba at The Legacy of Hope Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Hospital Campaign Launch in New York, among others.

Despite having a huge platform from a young age, she decided to pursue an education. Boikanyo recently graduated with a BA in Motion Picture Medium from AFDA.

“I was excited to study because I have loved directing since high school. I was always inquisitive about how stories came to life. As much as I have been afforded the opportunity to be in front of the camera, I have always wondered what kind of work goes on behind the scenes.”

Boikanyo wears many hats; she is now an actor, tv presenter, and overall lover of the arts. She says she always wanted to be multi-faceted, and not be boxed in.

“Poetry was my first love. I first stepped on stage when I was six for poetry. I also wanted to pursue other things in the arts.

“I am a creative at heart, so, whether it be through dance, painting or any other medium, I have always wanted to spread my wings. The arts is where my purpose lies, and where God has placed me.”

A perfectionist, Boikanyo says she sometimes struggles to truly appreciate moments. “I am always working on perfecting whatever medium I am currently taking on. But it can also be negative because it does not allow me to fully be in the moment – I always look back and think of all the ways I could have been better.”

Boikanyo escaped the pitfalls of fame that hinder many child stars by having a strong support structure through family and close friends. She also says religion has been a positive grounding force in her life.

“I think it all boils down to one’s character. I was raised to know the principles of humility and God. Those things helped me to not get caught in the dark-sided, fast pace of the industry,” she says.

Her biggest inspirations are Lebo Mashile, Maya Angelou, Oprah, and Jennifer Hudson. She reveres black women, because, she says, they’re powerful, and have to work so much harder to earn their stripes.

The sky is the limit for Boikanyo, who dreams of performing in the Superbowl, starring in a star-studded Hollywood movie, and directing her own TV shows, and films.

Her advice to other young people to is dream big, even to the point where it may seem to be too big to pursue or achieve.
