Did someone say doctor? Madhushan Singh stars as Dr Prishen Naidoo on the fourth installment of the Kandasamys franchise – Kandasamys: The Baby. The film released on Netflix on Friday 20 October.

Prishen is married to Jodi (played by Mishqah Parthiephal) and the pair are ready to welcome their first baby together in Mauritius.

“The Kandasamys are back and there’s a new addition to the family legacy. In blissful Mauritius, Jodi and Prishen are preparing to welcome their bundle of joy, whilst dealing with the interference of iconic mom and soon-to-be grandmother duo of Jennifer (Jailoshini Naidoo) and Shanti (Maeshni Naicker). It’s all lullabies and nursery rhymes until drama ensues with the mom squad, who join forces, and have brow-raising ideas on how to welcome and raise the new baby,” reads the synopsis of the film according to Netflix.

Netflix hosted the film’s premiere at Gateway Shopping Mall in KwaZulu-Natal and The South African sat down with the star for a quick question and answer session.

Q&A WITH MADHUSHAN SINGH
How does it feel to take the film, and yourself from Chatsworth to a global stage?

I feel very blessed to be in a space where we have these opportunities and to be apart of the Kandasamys franchise. (The franchise) started as a love better to Chatsworth and now followed the families through all the trials and tribulations, laughers and tears and just an organic trajectory of the characters, from where they started to where they ended.

And now to be on their fourth film, which is unheard off in South Africa, to say well now The Kandasamys have a baby! I think it’s such phenomenal moment in my life and I’m sure the viewers are going to fall in love with us all over again.

What was it like filming in Mauritius and with a Mauritian cast and having your baby in the country?

It was such a phenomenal experience because we got to feel the love and warmth of Durban and then go to Mauritius and feel the love and warmth of the community there. They opened their hearts to us, you know, I got to be with the locals, learn some dialect, enjoy some local cuisine and at the same time shoot this fantastic movie.

Did the film give you baby fever?

Yes it did! I came home and told my lady I officially have baby fever now.

How do you think Prishen has grown from the first film to the fourth?

I think in the first film he was still just a kid kind of figuring out what love is all about. The second film he got married and had to learn the concept of transitioning from a boy to a man. In the third film it was about being a supportive partner and the fourth film is about being a father. He had to learn how to maintain your household, your family and of course be there for the baby.

South Africans have shown tremendous support to Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi amid the racism allegation levelled against him by England flanker Tom Curry.

From messages of encouragement to videos explaining what he likely told the English rugby player and, of course, banter.Amid the drama, a video of Mbonambi speaking about how his love for the sport developed, and subsequently saved his life, was shared on social media. The video was first posted on the Springboks Youtube channel in November 2022.

“I grew up in Bohlokong, the kasi of Bethlehem. That’s where I first learnt about rugby when I was ten years old, I played a bit for the school. When I got home, I’d still play rugby with my friends.

“We used to make our own makeshift rugby balls, form the lemoensak (orange bag) with the newspapers into like an oval-shaped thing and then we’d play anywhere, wherever there was an open ground, or in the middle of the road, in the middle of the streets. We’d play almost the whole day until it gets dark.Mbonambi explained that there were only two of them who meant to a private school in the whole street of Bohlokong so they’d come back from school and teach the rest of their friends how to play rugby.

“We didn’t have grass patches where we could play tackle, so we’d play touchies, but then things would get out of hand and turn into tackle. And that’s how my love for rugby started.”

“Those are the good memories I have of my first love for rugby. I think rugby saved me from the worst side of life and showed me a better side and I’m glad that I found my passion for it and my love for it.”

Earlier this week, South African musician Murdah Bongz — real name Robert Mohosana — posted a video of a video call between himself and his wife Ntombezinhle “DJ Zinhle” Jiyane. In the clip, he is seen talking Zinhle and their daughter Asante Mohosana, during what appears to be a lunch date with Lynn Forbes — the mother of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes who is the father of Zinhle’s first daughter, Kairo Forbes.

 

After chatting with his wife and daughter, he then speaks to Lynn and tells her that the bill is on him. This didn’t sit well with some X users who accused him of neglecting his own mother.Since the passing of local rapper AKA, Murdah Bongz and DJ Zinhle’s relationship has been throughly scrutinised by social media users.

Only a few weeks after his passing, many accused Zinhle of disrespecting her husband by mourning her ex-boyfriend and “baby daddy.”Months later and they are now calling him a simp for welcoming AKA’s mother wholeheartedly into his family.

This after he shared a video of himself offering to pay for Zinhle and Lynn’s day out recently.

“This is Murdah Bongz Morda Parents they look like parents that are really struggling yet his bragging to DJ Zinhle family and Forbes He last posted his Mother in 2020 till now nothing His always spending time with Forbes family but fail to do that to his Family his a simp,” a troll wrote on X.In the comment section one or two people agreed while others remarked that it really isn’t anyone’s business.

“They show us the house kwi show Ka Zinhle and they are staying in a beautiful house and I don’t think you’re show of what you are talking about.Please show us the pictures of your parents and the house you built for your parents.I see jealousy here,” one person said while another added:

‘Send them your money if you’re that concerned mos.”
