Natasha Thahane recently took to social media to celebrate her partner, Thembinkosi Lorch, who had a remarkable moment on the soccer field. Lorch was named the Man of the Match, an accomplishment that not only earned him praise but also a substantial prize of R100,000. Natasha marked this proud moment by sharing a symbolic image on her Instagram – that of a goat.The use of the goat symbol might require a bit of explanation for those who are less familiar with it. In modern slang and sports culture, referring to someone as the “G.O.A.T.” stands for “Greatest of All Time.” By posting the goat image, Natasha was essentially recognizing and celebrating Lorch as the best among the players on the field that day.

What makes this achievement even more special is that it was Thembinkosi Lorch’s first game of the season. Walking away with the Man of the Match title and a substantial cash prize on your debut is an exceptional feat. This moment highlights his incredible talent and the impact he has on the game, right from the start of the season.Thembinkosi Lorch is well-known as a player for Orlando Pirates, a prominent football club in South Africa. Given his allegiance to this prestigious team, it’s no surprise that his fans are beaming with pride and happiness over his achievement. They cheered him on throughout the match, and their support has now been rewarded with this extraordinary recognition.In the world of sports, being named the Man of the Match is a significant honor, and it often signifies a player’s exceptional contribution to the game. Thembinkosi Lorch’s outstanding performance and Natasha Thahane’s heartfelt celebration have undoubtedly brought joy to his fans and admirers alike, and they eagerly await more impressive moments on the field from this talented player.

Idols SA, one of Mzansi’s most popular talent-searching reality series, aims to discover budding musicians and nurture them into successful professionals through training and mentoring. The show offers a substantial prize package that includes cash, vehicles, electronics, and various incentives to capture viewers’ interest.

Critics have taken aim at Idols South Africa for producing winners perceived as lacking the talent to build promising careers, instead being seen as TikTok sensations. This criticism grew when Mzansi compared Season 18 participants to those from Season 16. Idols South Africa winners, according to Mzansi, are “useless stars” not making significant waves in the entertainment industry, unlike the Qwabe Twins, who, despite not winning the competition, have achieved superstar status.The Qwabe Twins are not the only exception; Mzansi also pointed to Mmatema Moremi, a beloved contestant from Season 11, who, despite not winning, became a well-known gospel singer. Many Idols South Africa finalists, though not winners, are making their mark in the entertainment industry with their exceptional singing talent.

Conversely, real vocalists like Yanga Sobetwa, the Season 14 champion, have seen their careers stall after their Idols SA victory. There are rumors of financial struggles, with Yanga gaining TikTok popularity but having fewer than 120,000 followers.

The Qwabe Twins, known as Viggy and Virginia, rose to fame during the 15th season of Idols South Africa. Despite being separated for solo performances, they continued to impress. Virginia’s unexpected elimination from the top five was followed by Viggy’s withdrawal due to allegations of bullying and vote rigging.Despite not making it to the finals, the twins secured a record deal with Afrotainment Records, owned by DJ Tira. With DJ Tira’s support, they released their first song, “Hamba,” which became an instant hit. The Qwabe Twins have since gone on to produce a string of successful songs, earning two awards and multiple award nominations in just their first three years, establishing themselves as significant players in the music industry.

AKA was set to release a clothing range before his death. The rapper died on the 10th of February after a hitman shot and killed him in front of a restaurant in Durband. The range was in collaboration with House of Ole.

 

 

 

 

Fashion Designer Ole Ledimo opened up about the project and how much he misses his late friend. We were planning the new flavour and looks and the drip that goes with it. He and I have had many years of collaboration and it’s been surreal,” he revealed to ZiMoja.Speaking about the clothing range they were working on, Ole said: “The range is black, white and green. The jacket is there, complete and we were meant to do a mass production of t-shirts and all. But he passed on. There were sketches, fabrics, and ideas we had made.“The blazer Lynn Forbes wore at the memorial service was one of the designs we made for the range. The jacket has the Lemonade lyrics on it. The plan was that he would launch it as a full suit, shirt, jacket pants, and t-shirts that are ready to wear. Everything was set and going well but he passed on,” he added.

The fashion designer also talked about AKA’s personality. I liked the fact that he was different, misunderstood and a lot of people thought he was arrogant but for me, I never interpreted it in that way but saw someone who knew what he wanted,” Ole said
