The soccer legend Papi Khomane (48) tragically died in a car crash last Saturday.Papi was fondly remembered by his family and those close to him as humble and a straight talker.“When he didn’t like something, he would tell you straight but in a calm manner,” said his brother Mokete Khomane.

 

 
“He was a caring person and used to show this to all of us.”Papi was buried alongside his mother, Rita Nomasonto Khomane, and uncle, Moffat Norman Nkosi.

The funeral service was conducted at Soweto’s University of Joburg.

Papi and his mom were members of the Uniting Reformed Church of Southern Africa.

Papi was roped under the Christian Men’s Ministry.The three were buried at the Nasrec Memorial Park.

The three died on the way to the funeral in Newcastle in KZN.

Papi was not driving at the time, and the driver is believed to have lost control after a tyre failure.

The driver and another passenger survived, but Papi, his mother and uncle died.

Tributes for the former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates player had been pouring in since the tragic news surfaced.

Hundreds of friends, soccer lovers, family members and his church gathered at the hall at the University of Joburg’s Soweto campus.

The mourners were singing songs of praise, celebrating his life.

Amadodana were leading hymns, and in a joyous mood, mourners joined and sang.

His distraught wife couldn’t utter anything, and the sadness in her face said it all.

Makhadzi is reportedly owing the South African Revenue Services (SARS) over R6 million. The star owns numerous assets, which include houses and cars. According to Zimoja, a source revealed that the singer’s former manager and record label, Open Mic Productions is to be blamed for the debt. “She worked with two managers. Both these management companies failed to assist her with filing her taxes. This has caused a heavy backlog for the singer,” the insider says.“When she joined Open Mic, she was already owing, and the debt accumulated. bShe cannot afford to have those taken away from her. So, she will fix it. Makhadzi’s manager Lucky Tshilimandila confirmed that the singer is in debt. Yes, we acknowledge the debt. It goes back to 2016. Makhadzi currently has an arrangement with SARS.“With that, we want to make sure that we do everything according to the book. We went out and got new accountants to deal directly with the issue. The same way we got a legal team to take care of all paperwork and legalities. Makhadzi is learning. We can put the blame on her when she doesn’t give a great performance on stage but we can’t blame her for accounting issues and tax matters.” Lucky says.

Popular Mzansi influencer Mihlali Ndamase set social media abuzz after she dropped her picture-perfect photos on Instagram. She is undoubtedly pretty as a picture and is not shy to show it.

 

 

 

 

The bubbly reality star is topping trends after her banging photos made rounds on social media.The now-viral photos have gained thousands of comments and reactions since they were dropped on the internet. Taking to Instagram, Ndamase shared a series of photos wearing a golden top and complimented her look with jewelry.

The photos left many drooling. Her followers were more than convinced that she looked like a princess. However, Mzansi was quick to implicate her age into the mix. How old is Mihlali Ndamase?

@thuliphongolo commented: “Oh my! .”

@boity posted: “”

@tanya_the_therapist commented: “Are you even real.”

The bubbly influencer recently celebrated her birthday in style. Her fans were more than puzzled that she was 27 years old. Ndamase was born on 29 November 1996 in Kokstad, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.She once rubbished claims that she is dating Leeroy Sidambe for money. The two have often wowed Mzansi with their couple’s goals, from lush anniversaries to random surprises.

A few months ago, she was topping trends after showing her new body. Mzansi was more than convinced that she went under the knife for her new hourglass body.

Well-known Mzansi Gospel star, Ntokozo Mbambo has enjoyed a year to remember, and she won’t let anyone, not even Kelly Khumalo, get in the way of that.

 

 

 

Ntokozo Mbambo made history on the SAMA 29 stage this past November when she walked away with three trophies. She won Best Contemporary Faith Music Album, Best Album and the highly coveted Best Female Artist Album. It made her the first contemporary gospel artist to win three awards on the same night at the South African Music Awards.Although one of the awards stung a certain Kelly Khumalo (More on that in a moment), Ntokozo Mbambo has been focused on celebrating a never-before-seen achievement after her clean sweep. We spoke to the singer to discover what this incredible achievement meant to her and how she dealt with unwanted noise.

It was a night of celebration for Ntokozo Mbambo as her 2023 album, Lavish Worship, won Best Album and Best Contemporary Faith Music Album. Speaking to The South African, she revealed how it felt to walk away with three trophies on the night, including Best Female Artist. We’d call it a hat trick in football, but we asked what that would be in music terms.She replied, “In music terms that would be a triad chord [laughs]. I am honestly grateful to God for allowing my music to be able to have an impact on so many people’s lives. When talking about the streams, my fans are just incredible and they make all of this possible by supporting me in every way. We don’t do this for the awards, we do it because we love what we do, but it is always great to be recognized for what we bring”.

There was one particular moment we discussed where, just after winning one award, she discovered (while backstage!) that she had won another immediately afterwards! “That was just so funny, we were backstage and the person accompanying me was just asking me to wait, probably just protocol. And then next thing it turns out I’ve won again! It was totally unexpected!”The Sound of Revival star’s night was pitch-perfect. However, the aftermath threatened to ruin it all when her fellow Best Artist nominee, Kelly Khumalo, went onto social media to complain after losing out to Ntokozo Mbambo. Without dwelling on the matter too much, we asked Ntokozo how she dealt with that moment as the topic trended for days on social media.

In her opinion, it was best to ignore it all. She said, “In these moments I always look to God and ask God to work through me. So I was not compelled to do or say anything, as a team we also decided not to respond. Instead, we wanted to focus on what mattered most – winning three awards at the SAMAs and making ourselves, our fans and families proud”.

Now, the victory lap for Lavish Worship continues. When asked what fans can look forward to next she revealed “We shot a lot of visual performances of the songs on Lavish Worship. Now feels like a great time to work on releasing those in the next few months and fans can look out for more live videos like our 2023 Sound of Revival performance”.

The TVSA Umkhokha: The Curse December teasers confirm that Difa (Sibonile Ngubane) and Mamzobe’s (Deli Malinga) son, Ndoda may have committed suicide.

While viewers of the faith-based telenovela predicted that Gabisile or Nobuntu died on Friday’s episode, the teasers reveal that the sisters are still alive.

The Thursday 28 December teaser reads: “MaMzobe feels left out when Difa, Gabisile and Nobuntu leave for the pilgrimage without her”.

The teaser proves that fan-favourite characters Gabisile and Nobuntu are still alive, and their brother may have died as he’s not mentioned.

Fans believed Gabisile committed suicide as she attempted to end her life by drowning and hasn’t been coping with her mother’s secrets.

Viewers also predicted Nobuntu was the one who shot herself on Friday’s episode as actress, Kwezi Ndlovu who plays the role of Nobuntu is pregnant in real life.The Umkhokha: The Curse teasers also state that Difa will lash Ndoda’s body after Mamzobe failed to lash Mlungisi and Xolile’s bodies.

Monday, 4 December: “Difa tries to calm down his family before he has to do the worst he has ever had to do – lash his child’s lifeless body”.

Mamzobe will also reveal she never lashed Xolile’s body, which will lead Difa into digging up her body and lashing her corpse.

Wednesday, 6 December: “MaMzobe struggles with the guilt of having not lashed Xolile’s body while Difa makes plans to exhume Mlungisi’s body and lash it.”
