MAKING HEADLINES
The two have often hogged headlines with their on-screen chemistry, but this is not the first time. After all, they are just two-star actors nailing their on-screen characters perfectly.

Over the years, the two have starred alongside each other and have played as a couple in at least two drama series. On Generations, they have starred as Tau and Karabo.

However, on the now-canned drama series The Queen, they starred as Harriet Khoza and Hector Sebata.

Their storyline was more similar to that of Generations. However, despite their on-screen chemistry often thrusting them into top trends, the two have ignored daring rumours about their alleged relationship.

After all, their craft competence and experience have seen them being the most sought-after actors in South Africa.

Over the years, they have often been rumoured to be amongst the highest-paid South African actors.

he Department of Correctional Services has reportedly denied allegations that Thabo Bester’s co-accused, Nandipha Magudumana, is receiving “special treatment” behind bars.

The aesthetic doctor is being held at the hospital division of the Bizzah Makhate prison in Kroonstad. But according to the department, this is for her own good.

 

 

WATCH: INSIDE NANDIPHA’S HOSPITAL WING CELL
Earlier this week, the National Commissioner of Correctional Services Makgothi Thobakgale gave media representatives a walkabout of both Nandipha and Thabo Bester’s prison surroundings.

While Nandipha is reportedly kept in comfort at the hospital wing, Bester is held in complete isolation at the Kgosi Mampuru prison in Pretoria.But following claims that Magudumana was given “special treatment” by not being housed with other offenders, Thobakgale revealed the real reasons why.Thobakgale said: “The purpose is to isolate her, control her movement. To make sure she does not have interaction [with others] or access to cellphones.”

The commissioner claimed that Magudumana is given the same diet as other offenders and no preferential treatment.

While authorities claim Nandipha is being kept under “high security” conditions, social media users are unconvinced.

Here’s what tweeps had to say after getting a glimpse of her “cell.”

According to her, there should be restrictions that stop underage children from buying the poison. She also asked that mental health awareness be prioritised in schools.

“Can we kindly take this rat poison issue seriously? We have a lot of kids committing suicide, it’s scary. Shops should stop selling rat poison to kids. It’s a trend, it’s scary. We need to act now @Lesufi, please. We need more awareness on mental health in schools,” she wrote on ”

MANY AGREE
The post resonated with many. A lot of X users headed to the comment section to agree that action should be taken.

“It’s honestly sad,” one person wrote while another added, “My cousin hung himself last Friday. This is very sad.”

South Africans and fans of TV host Katlego Maboe believe his baby mama Monique Muller is out to get him fired again after he lost his job on the Expresso Show as well as the OUTSurance gig a year ago.This is after Monique Muller, who has a child with Katlego Maboe tagged Deal Or No Deal, Expresso Show and many more brands which are associated with the award-winning TV personality.

Social media users believe Muller, who is accusing the TV host of financial abuse and not supporting his child is an attention seeker, who is jealous of Maboe, and is trying to get him fired again as she could have resolved their issues privately and maturely.

@Ziggy_Diver1 tweeted: “She annoys me this girl especially for tagging brands all over again.”

@MotherHen___: “Worst part by tagging those brands… she is making things worse coz Katlego can just say i lost all my jobs coz of the posts so even that half of the school fees money i can’t afford now.”

@Ziggy_Diver1: “Absolutely like why not leave his bread out of this.”

@PrincessKay9: “That’s low of her. Like how does she expect Katlego to take care of the child should he lose his job again? She’s not skilled at war this one.”

‘SHE JUST WANTS TO TARNISH HIS NAME’
Katlego Maboe fans were also confused when his ex-Monique Muller shared screenshots of text messages between herself and his current partner Jessica, who reportedly said she’s playing the “poor mom” role.

Muller, who’s turned off her comment section on her Instagram account also revealed that Maboe has multiple streams of income despite his stating unemployment. “I’ve got receipts,” she said.

“How can your expenses range around 150k and not even a third of that goes to your child? You rock the latest brands, but shop at Pep for your child and not even clothing that currently fits him. Are you not embarrassed as a parent?”

“Are there any other six-figure earning fathers refusing to pay their kid’s school fees? Because this is a topic, I feel we need to discuss Maybe, Deal Or No Deal can donate some funds there. I can forward the school’s banking details.”

“You earn ten times more than your baby mama. So, paying school fees in full would not affect your pocket. But you insist that half of her salary must go to school fees (we see this all the time with financial abuse in maintenance courts),” she wrote on her Instagram stories.

Scrolling mindlessly on social media and watching Instagram reels and stories, TikTok videos and YouTube shorts can wear you out.
