Actress Nobuhle Mimi Mahlasela has opened up on her battles with depression and suicidal thoughts, which almost led to her taking her own life.
Known for her role as Aggie on popular Afrikaans soapie 7de Laan, She got real about her mental health challenges with fans on social media.

“I woke up one day last week and I couldn’t take it any more! I was overwhelmed with traumatic incidents I encountered and all the thoughts in my head the last couple of months. I cried so much I couldn’t breathe and I had a severe headache throughout this episode.

“It was an anxiety attack, but this time I was not letting it get to me. I picked up the phone called my sister and a close friend to let them know that I’m not OK, and that simple act of calling someone was me fighting!” she explained.

She managed to “gather” herself and headed to work. On the way she saw a truck with a message that everything was going to be OK.

It led her to reflect on struggling with depression for years.

“I’ve been fighting depression and anxiety all my life by ‘managing’ and ‘controlling’ it, by simply blocking traumatic experiences I’ve encountered since I was a young girl. I attempted suicide twice in my life because I just did not want to be here and feel this pain any more,” she explained.The star is determined to fight and started therapy this year.

“I have to go back to that little girl that got hurt and heal her. I’m happy I decided to fight this. I’m not an expert but I’m learning and I’m on a journey of healing,” she said, encouraging others to speak about their struggles and get help.

Nobuhle admitted that it is not easy but she is proud of herself for not giving up.

Love has won for gqom stars Babes Wodumo and Mampintsha! The controversial pair is set to make things official on Sunday, 25 April during their traditional wedding in Ballito, on the KZN North Coast.
 

The exclusive rights to the wedding have been sold to online subscription video on demand service Showmax for their upcoming reality show, Uthando Lodumo.

The two singers have been mum about the wedding as they signed a nondisclosure agreement.

However, sources confirmed the wedding will be held at a private venue in Ballito.

“The wedding is set to go ahead this weekend,” said the source.

On the wedding invite, which the publication has seen, the dress code for the wedding is traditional attire.

The ceremony’s proceedings are set to start at 9 am.Another source said guests were asked not to record or take pictures at the wedding as this will apparently disrupt the couple’s carefully laid-out plans.

Mampintsha paid lobola for Babes in February and the traditional gifts exchange for families has been done.

Mampintsha’s groomsmen include Big Nuz member Danger and kwaito/gqom star Bhar, both of whom were his childhood friends growing up in Umlazi’s D section.

Danger and Bhar were around when Mampintsha was still hustling in Yeoville, Joburg, and trying to make it big in the industry. The other groomsmen are award-winning DJ Tira and writer Sandile Makhoba.

A third source said most of the guests who’re tipped to attend the wedding include their families.

The singers got engaged in October when Mampintsha proposed during an interview on Gagasi FM.

But their relationship has not always been rosy with Babes once filing an assault case against him that was later withdrawn. Their manager, Sbu Ncube, confirmed to the People’s Paper that they were getting married this weekend, but refused to comment further.

Riky Rick is a big fan of the young South African star, Uncle Vinny and he’s supported his new movement.

Vinny trends on a monthly basis as Mzansi is wowed by his unique dance moves which needs more of flexibility.

Taking to Instagram, the rapper shared a video of himself in the bathroom, with towel wrapped around his waist.

In the video, the Cotton Fest king did the Vinny dance; without doubt, he nailed it.Uncle Vinny marked a new age on Wednesday and lots of people celebrated him, including Riky.

“I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BRO❤️SO PROUD OF THE MAN YOU ARE BECOMING❤️ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SON🎉🚀‼️ @uncle.vinny the greatest of all time.”
