Two of this year’s acts are no strangers to Miss South Africa, Mi Casa performed at the Sun City finale in 2014 when Rolene Strauss took the crown and Sho Madjozi wowed the crowds at Times Square last year when Zozibini Tunzi triumphed.

Joining them for the 2020 pageant – to be held at The Table Bay hotel in an entertainment-packed event on Saturday, October 24, from 17h00 and broadcast live on M-Net and Mzansi Magic – are Ami Faku, Jimmy Nevis, and Sun El-Musician.Mi Casa, one of the most loved dance bands in the country, will be performing their latest single from their new album We Made It. With a sound that has not only stood the test of time but shaped South African dance floors for the past decade, the band has gone from strength to strength with their Afro-Pop/House grooves and shown the world that nothing can keep positivity and a good formula down.

Ten years, countless awards, and five albums later, the group has signed an international record deal with Afroforce1 Records and Universal Music Group. The trio – which comprises Dr. Duda piano, J’Something vocalist and guitarist, and trumpeter Mo-T – will be performing their latest release.J’Something recalls their Miss South Africa performance six years ago: “I will never forget that day, I felt more nervous than the actual contestants. It was a moment I never forgot and to be back is a blessing, celebrating the beauty and getting to do what we love with a brand-new song that I think will be so fitting. We have a new single; it’s called Mamela and it’s my favorite song I have ever made with Mi Casa. So to get to perform it for everybody on such a platform is another moment for me and hopefully, all of you to look forward to.”

2020 has been a bumper year for both KZN’s Sun-El Musician and the Eastern Cape’s Ami Faku. Sun-El was the biggest winner at this year’s South Africa Music Awards (SAMA), walking away with three SAMAs in the categories: Best Collaboration for his runaway hit Akanamali, the SAMPRA Highest Airplay Song of the Year and Samro Highest Airplay Composer’s awards, while Faku was announced as the winner of the coveted Female Artist of the Year for her debut album Imali.Sun-El Musician and Ami Faku will be performing Into Ingawe at the pageant. Both say they are looking forward to the performance and seeing what the Top 10 bring to the table on the night: “They are an incredible group of young women who represent our country and its diversity.”

Regarded as one of the best performers in Africa, Sho Madjozi incorporates the Tsonga culture through her music and public image. Last year the multi-award-winning rapper was featured on the global music platform COLORS, where she performed her song, John Cena. Madjozi was praised for the song by many notable people, including rapper Missy Later and also appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to talk about the song. She was nominated for Best International Act at this year’s BET Awards and has been signed by Epic Records.

The past year has been one of self-discovery for Cape Town musician Jimmy Nevis who has unearthed new energy in his sound, message, and brand: “I am performing a mash-up of my lockdown single Hey Jimmy as well as the debut performance of my new single Magenta – which releases the week after the pageant – so I’m very excited for everyone to hear the song. My band and I are ready to bring you into summer!”

Nah Homie, let’s stick to telling the best AfriCAN stories 😂😂

Award-winning music producer Prince Kaybee is not here for the disrespect towards fellow Africans. Prince has hit back at a xenophobe who discredited a Kenyan musician just because of her nationality.

It is no secret that the country has a bad name when it comes to accepting Africans from their respective countries and has dominated headlines for that reason.

Kaybee has dedicated a portion of his time to find and uplift new talent but it seems as though he has a bigger picture as he is looking to work with musicians outside of the country.

The master behind the Project Hope album recently shared a potential song which features Kenyan singer Pauline “Polaris” Wendo. He said he shared a beat on social media and was thoroughly surprised when that same beat had added vocals from Pauline. “A month ago I uploaded a video making a beat, today a Kenyan lady uploaded the same beat but with her vocals on. I’M BLOWN AWAY, she just bagged a feature with me. Lets fly her up,” he wrote.

A troll who wanted to reign on the singer’s parade, ridiculed her for bagging a song with Prince. “Your brain got affected by the overwhelming blonde color you have on your head. ‘Begged’ and ‘bagged’ are two different things.”
Recently rappers Cassper Nyovest and Nasty C both got called out when they lent their voices towards the #EndSARS movement which has gained momentum, grabbing the interest from people around the world. They were also called out for not having the same energy when it comes to local causes.

Just to paint the picture, Nigeria is currently going through political unrest as citizens of the country are currently protesting against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

So when Nasty C attempted to use his platform to bring light to the matter and show solidarity for the people of Nigeria, South Africans were not having it. The ridicule was especially propagated by the social media led movement of the #PutSouthAfricansFirst movement. This is a movement created by people that are asking for the country to prioritize South Africans.

“Did you do a full inspec on my Twitter? Do you know for a fact that I “go silent when it comes to my own”? NO YOU DONT, so get the fuck off my nuts,” he responded

The sentiments are made at the back of suggestions the illegal and legal immigrants that live in South Africa are “taking over,” with South Africans being sidelined for economic and employment opportunities.

Cheeky Palate, a new show which airs on Mnet’s 1Magic, has landed itself in hot water after allegations of a homophopic first episode have gained momentum.

Read More: Phat Joe To Host Cheeky Palate

The show sees high-profile guests joining seasoned broadcaster Phat Joe and discuss societal issues. The show recently hit our small screens but, it already has peeps foaming at the mouth.

Cheeky Palate is centred around burning issues, not limited to, Men are trash, Black lives matter, lobola negotiations and so forth. The latest episode which saw guests discussing homosexuality and the bible has received mixed reactions from the masses.

According to entertainment commentator Phil Mphela, five complaints have been laid at the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA headquarters over homophobic statements on the show.

Whilst some are livid that the episode did contain some homophobic statements, some fans are defending it and its host Phat Joe. Tweeps are arguing on whether Phat Joe is homophobic or not, whilst some are saying the accusations are aimed at tarnishing his reputation.

Actress Rami Chuene also seemingly weighed in her thoughts on the episode when she tweeted, “Homosexuality has always been the easy target because it is the only natural thing classified as unnatural, labelled as a behaviour in the Bible. And that’s the first mistake. A big mistake.”

Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net Nomsa Philiso recently to IOL that guests discussing hot topics with no filter, whilst enjoying a good meal on the show.

“Viewers can look forward to a show where guests who hold strong and contrarian views will all sit down for a meal together to tackle topics, some that many may be considered to be hot potato issues that are part of our everyday lives. Our compact plus and premium viewers can look forward to more firsts on 1Magic, including the witty and entertaining Phat Joe on his celebrity-filled reality show,” she said.

Phat Joe’s career has been surrounded by a lot of controversies following his exit on Radio 2000.

The public broadcaster confirmed that they had parted ways with him, after spending less than a year with the station, since April 2019. His exit came shortly after he was suspended for allegedly bunking work.

The TV star was on and off on radio and fans were left concerned about his absenteeism. Some even took to social media inquire about his absenteeism.

How was the episode for you?

5 complaints at the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA have been laid against new show Cheeky Palate over homophobic statements on the show.
Dear fellow straight people if the LGBTQA+ community says Phat Joe is homophobic who are you to tell them otherwise , same way a white person can’t tell a black person what’s racist and what’s not . Listen to why they feel that way.
Cheeky Palate is produced by Connect TV for 1Magic.
