‘Everything he did was for his family,’ friends celebrate Mutodi Neshehe at memorial

Late actor Mutodi Neshehe’s love for his family, his business acumen and his humour stole the show as friends, family and former colleagues gathered to celebrate his life at a memorial service held on Wednesday afternoon.

Mutodi died on Thursday last week, a death that his friends described as “sudden” because he was sick for only a short time.

His drive-through memorial service which lasted for little over an hour, saw some of his closest friends and brothers speak fondly about him and express their sadness that he’s gone.

Fellow actors Gabriel Temudzani and Rapulana Seiphemo shared some words.

“Mutodi was a giant and he was full of life. He taught and instilled in us a culture of caring, a culture of brotherhood. For me personally, he taught me about fatherhood … He taught me to invest for my family, always saying you never know how long you are going to be here or how long you will have a job. I have kept that and used it, and whenever I think him, I’m grateful that he instilled that teaching in me.

“He embodied the spirit of ubuntu and for me that takes the cup,” Gabriel said.

Speaking only briefly, Rapulana said he was saving his speech for the funeral service, but wanted to let the people gathered at the memorial know the kind of person his friend was.

“This is too sudden. Too unexpected. It’s unbelievable honestly but I get a feeling that Mutodi is watching over us and we all know he is saying something stupid whenever someone opens their mouth to say something about him. We do know that, and most of the time it has a comedic touch to it with a sexual refence and I’m sure he has a glass of Jack Daniels and he’s laughing his arse off.”
 

“All I can say is, much love and light, like you always used to say to us. Till we meet again,” Rapulana said.

His brother, Takalani Neshehe, read a message Mutodi had written in their family WhatsApp group recently when one of the elders in their family died.

Takalani said he felt that Mutodi was preparing them to accept death and the fact that the onus rested on them to continue loving each other and taking care of one another as a family.

“I think most of us either don’t see it or want to acknowledge it but we are now the parents. We have to do the work, to love each other, take care of each other, protect each other and support each other. Nobody has told you this but every single one of you are Neshehe adults by now. It is going to be a lot of work but if we do it like they did, none of us will ever be alone. Ever. Much and light,” read out message from Mutodi to his family.

Mutodi will be taken to his final resting place on Thursday. The funeral service will start at 8am at Doxa Deo Church and the burial starts at 11.30am at Westpark.

Meet Actor Zamani Mbatha’s Girlfriend

So it seems as if Twitter FBI have striked again! They are definitely hard at work and have been getting all the credit for it. This time, they’ve discovered who heartthrob actor Zamani Mbatha is dating.

The Rhythm City actor is actress Nomzamo Mbatha’s little brother and he scored a major role as the lead on the Netflix dance series, Jiva. However, that is not all he gas scored, as he is rumoured to be dating Youtuber, Snikiwe ‘Sni’ Mhlongo.

The Youtube content creator is the daughter of former Generations:The Legacy actress Brenda Mhlongo, who currently plays the role of KaMadonsela on Imbewu:The Seed on e.TV.

Last month, they found interesting images of Maps Maponyane and Sho Madjozi on baecation. Although some believed that the two media personalities were out in Rwanda working, many others were convinced that Mr Buns had finally found himself a Mrs Buns in the John Cena hit-maker. It all started when the Huku singer posted images of herself exploring the country of Rwanda. The musician can be seen at a tourist attraction called Ndambare Waterfall and another image she shared shows her at a field picking black tea. Yes, you guessed right! Maps also shared images of himself at the very same locations. The zoom gang also noticed, in Sho’s sun glasses that it was Maps who took her snaps.

Again last month, social media was set ablaze when evidence emerged that Orlando Pirates footballer Thembinkosi Lorch and former Skeem Saam actress Natasha Thahane are the newest hot celebrity couple. The rumours of the pair being romantically involved were fuelled by several pictures that they have posted, suggesting that they have been spending a lot of time together. The one image that started all the commotion, sees Natasha in Zanzibar in a sexy orange bikini. The shades she had on sold her out because one Twitter user zoomed in and spotted the Orlando Pirates striker. Shortly after, the footballer posted an image of himself in the same location. More and more pictures of the two personalities emerged and it was very clear that they were together in Zanzibar and probably on vacation. What added fuel to the dating sparks was their wrist bands, which were exactly the same. After denying being together, they eventually folded and made their relationship official.

Yesterday, it was Afropop musician and reality TV star Kelly Khumalo to be in the Twitter FBI investigation books. The Empini hit-maker seems to have found love and trust in the hands of professional footballer, Mthokozisi Yende. Mthokozisi is a former Kaizer Chiefs player. Many snaps seem to suggest that the two are an item. For one, they have been spotted in the same locations, and if you check the dates of when their snaps were posted they will correspond. One thing we’ve picked up on the two celebs, who have been keeping their relationship under wraps, is that they also enjoy wearing matching outfits

Zahara wants her money for Loliwe, “DJ Sbu Is A Coward!”

Imagine not getting paid for your debut album which is also one of your most successful albums in your career. All the hard work and dedication put into the album, only to not reap the benefits of all your sweat and tears. That is apparently the case with songstress Zahara who claims to not have received a single cent in royalties from Loliwe, her 2011 album she released under DJ Sbu’s record label TS Records.The two have been involved in several back and forths for a long time now. A social media user re-ignited the beef between Zahara and DJ Sbu saying the Phendula hitmaker should just re-record Loliwe so she can benefit from the album, unlike her first attempt.
The user, who is Advocate Barry Roux’s catfish said, “Can Zahara re-record the Loliwe album so we can buy it all over again and the money goes straight to her, is it possible,” he asked.

DJ Sbu did not take the accusations lightly and warned the tweep to not stir trouble by spreading misleading information. He claims that Zahara has been getting money from Loliwe.

“Ms Zahara’s money has always gone to her my brother. It’s disappointing that you continue to spread false information my brother,” he claimed.Zahara got in contact with TshisaLive saying DJ Sbu is lying and there is no such thing as her getting her money. She said she saw that her music got uploaded recently on some digital platforms without her knowledge and that could only mean that somebody is getting paid for her hard work.

“It’s all lies, I haven’t been getting anything since I left the record label, and I saw recently that my music was uploaded on digital platforms without me knowing, which means they sold my records to somebody and it means I need to get a cut for it.”

She even claims to not have spoken to Sbu in well over a year and made several attempts to call him but he never answered her calls. She has even thought of going top court but her pockets are restricting her from doing so.

“When I tried to communicate several times even last year, I tried so many numbers to contact them and no-one answered their phones, I always call them, they don’t care.”

“At the end of the day they know that if I go to court I do not have the resources or the money to fight them because they know they have money. God has given me a gift which nobody can take and I can start afresh like I am doing right now,” she said.

To escalate matters further, Zahara wants DJ Sbu and herself to have a sit-down interview where Sbu answers to her face to face about why he has not paid her. She then calls him a coward.
