Gladys Burns Langa Alive….#Gomora

To say that Gladys is out of control would be an understatement. At this rate, she will end up in Jail. Ever since a spiritual healer approached her and informed her that her brother Mohato is no more and she would need to go fetch her spirit – Ntokozo’s

Ntokozo did eventually confess the truth and admitted that his uncle is no more. He told his parents that he was killed by Mam Sonto and his body was buried around Gomora. Trying to help his mom find justice for his brother, they attempted to dig out his bodied but found nothing at the site. This has left Gladys distraught as the little bit of light she had of finding out about her brother’s whereabouts is now gone.
In Friday evening’s episode, Langa attempted to make peace and invited the Dlaminis over to the tavern for a family dinner – they politely declined as they are not in a good space. The dinner did go on at the Molefes and It went well. Gladys, however, snuck into the tavern and waited for everything to finish what they were doing (that’s what she thought) and then pour gas and burn Mam Sonto’s tavern to avenge her brother’s death. What she did not know was that her stepson, Langa, was still inside cleaning up. The episode ended with her setting the place ablaze with Langa inside. We don’t know if he will make it out alive or not – we’re waiting for Monday’s episode to get confirmation.

Blaq Diamond and Jay Z collabo on the way

Taking to Twitter, the label said, “Blaq Diamond ft Jay-Z……. Loading,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”

The tweet has garnered lots of attention as lots of followers believed the label is just chasing clout with the legend.

Few persons believed the news, while others mocked the label, saying they probably meant Jacob Zuma and not Jay Z.This isn’t the first time a big international artist is collaborating with SA musicians, but this recent news feels like a dream to most of their fans.

However, the music artists are yet to react to the news announced by the South African record label.

Thuso Mbedu Scoops An International Nomination

The internationally renowned actress Thuso Mbedu has done it again. The star scooped a nomination for her character Cora in The Underground Rail Road at the Black Reel TV Awards.

Thuso is nominated for Outstanding Actress in TV Movie/Limited Series alongside Tessa Thompson, Cynthia Erivo, Michaela Coel, and Nicole Beharie.
Sharing the exciting news on Twitter, Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela wrote: “Thuso Mbedu nabs her first 2021 award nod. South African export has bagged a nomination for Outstanding Actress in TV MOVIE/LIMITED SERIES at the Black Reel TV Awards. Mbedu is nominated for playing the lead Cora in #TheUndergroundRailroad. Congrats.”Speaking about her character on The Underground Rail Road on Instagram, Thuso said: “Cora’s freedom is tied to running and we see this as we go from episode to episode. Colson Whitehead created a human being that people can point to on the street. She’s a brave but also fragile young woman because of everything she’s been through.

She has been hardened but not numbed as seen in her first act of defiance of protecting Chester when Terrance Randall strikes him. She’s tough but also exists from a place of fear that I hope one day she will be free from. Cora is… simple, but complicated. We are only as strong as our hardest challenge and, through Cora, we see that. She gives hope for a future to the everyday man and woman who, with each new day, find themselves fighting for something.What I like about Cora is that she holds the mic for everyone to be heard. As she goes from state to state, not only are we following her but by following her, we meet many others whom she allows to share a piece of themselves. We might not always like the pieces but they are as real as Cora can get. When she casts her light, the shadows of the nation are in full display for all to see.

“There’s a part of me that wants to say I saw parts of me in her but I don’t know if I’m brave enough to say that yet because Cora is so much stronger than me. But playing her did help heal parts of me I did not know were wounded—maybe that’s what drew me to her,” she said.
