Lesedi FM’s veteran radio personality Thuso Motaung has accused award-winning SABC sportscaster Thabo Kofa of plotting to kill him, his wife and their children. SABC sportscaster Thabo Kofa is accused by Lesedi FM’s veteran radio personality Thuso Motaung of plotting to kill him, his wife and their children. The shocking claim is contained in the recording of a virtual meeting held by Lesedi FM staff and management.

 

 

 

In the recording, which was leaked to Sunday World, Motaung could be heard accusing Kofa of orchestrating attacks on him and his family over work-related issues. Motaung, whose Sunday show Makgulong A Matala is the flagship of the Sesotho radio station, lamented that his children were threatened with murder by people close to Kofa.“Kofa, who I have worked with for over 30 years, and also lived with in Diepkloof, has caused me pain,” Motaung can be heard saying. He said the people who confronted his children claimed that he was abusing Kofa at work.

“My son was at Sechaba’s Place [popular car wash in Bloemfontein] when he was told that my wife and I are destroying Kofa.“If my kids get attacked or killed, Kofa will take the blame. When it happens that I get attacked and killed in the streets, it will be Kofa and his people.”

Motaung claims the reason some people hate him so much is because his wife is the radio station’s manager.“Basically, I was not supposed to have married her. Mamontha (his wife) never knew that she was going to be a manager of Lesedi FM. She went to school for her job,” he fumed.
My kids have been confronted and told that I am abusing Kofa and that I am evil. Kill my kids, it’s okay. I am going to leave Lesedi FM, I am not here to die. We are under attack. What do our kids say when they read on social media that we’re bad people? I have never abused Kofa. People laugh with me while they know they hate me.”Motaung, who was lashing out while Kofa was listening, labelled him an enemy of Lesedi FM, adding that he is one of the presenters who dish out useless shows that garner low ratings.

He said this group of presenters go on to blame him for their failures. It’s all Thuso’s mess. I am being bad-mouthed everywhere. They can talk, I wish them all the best. Mamontha entered the fray and stated that she was going to deal with Kofa.

“As the head of the station, I am so disappointed about what you did, Thabo Kofa,” Mamontha can be heard saying in the recording.

She said Kofa, who has been with the station for many years, wrote a letter to management raising his concerns, but turned around “and caused problems”.

“Your intentions were clear that you wanted to cause chaos within the station. That is not going to be allowed.

“Your arrogance will never work. We have a right at the station to deal with you when you bring chaos.”

Mamontha said Kofa is the one who went on social media to bad-mouth the radio station and the Lesedi FM staff. This whole thing has been escalated, whoever encouraged you or your group to go on social media, know that we are not going to tolerate that,” she said.

“We are not going to let you off the hook, we will deal with you harshly. I didn’t get a favour to be where I am.” SABC spokesperson Mmoni Seapolelo said: “The SABC does not discuss employee related matters in the public domain and therefore cannot comment”.

The world of South African film is ever-evolving. In the midst of that evolution is a name that cannot be missed – Thembi Nyandeni. This Soweto-born actress is almost 70 years and has featured in some of the most memorable South African flicks out there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a world where actors take any role just to pay the bill, Thembi Nyandeni is somewhat selective, only consenting to play characters that she agrees with. And while she has acted in several flicks so far, her greatest to date was Isibaya, which also happens to be one of the most loved TV series in the Rainbow Nation

She didn’t have to audition for the role, as the producers had seen her previous performance and picked her. And she aced the role.Age
Thembi Nyandeni was born in Match 1958, which makes her 65 years at the time of writing. Unlike most celebs, her birthdays are never wild occasions.Husband
The actress once had a husband whose identity remains shrouded to this day. She got married when she was much younger and the relationship led to the birth of a son, details about whom are given below. About sharing details about her husband, though, he remains circumspect.

From her interviews in the past, it is likely that infidelity on his part led to their divorce. And she has deliberately not gotten married again since. The reason for this might also be found in clues in interviews where she noted that men find it hard to stick to one woman and she wouldn\t want to risk exposing herself to STDs because her partner might not be faithful.

Children
Children – blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. That’s what the Bible says, but then blessed, still, is the person who has any in his quiver, yes? The actress has a son named Bandile Nyandeni with whom she happens to have a very close relationship.Net Worth
How much is Thembi Nyandeni worth? You wouldn’t catch her dead discussing her net worth, as she is more focused on her career as an actress and giving her best in every role. But the public has been putting numbers and figures together. The result? Multiple sources put her net worth at around $200k. Converted to her local currency, it translates to a couple of millions.House
For most celebrities, houses are not just that; they are an avenue to show their style and their current position in the industry. For this reason, most spare no expense to convey the right message to members of the public. But where does the actress fall in this case? It is hard to say, as details about her home are pretty scanty.

Cars
The Isibaya actress is not known for being loud about her assets. In fact, as much as possible. she tries to keep some aspects of her life personal and away from the public eye. It is unclear what cars she owns. Anyway, a couple of years back, she celebrated her son’s acquisition of a new vehicle in a post on her Instagram page.

Popularly known for portraying the character of Samson Ndlovu on Isibaya, Bheki Mkhwane is also a director, producer, mime, composer, and playwright.

He made his debut as Mhlaba on Nikiwe, a local daily drama that airs on eTV every weekday at 6.30 pm, a few weeks ago, on 28 June.

 

 

 

 

 
Mhlaba is a traditional man with a limited worldview and puts his family above everything.

Speaking about being part of the show, Mkhwane told The Citizen that he is having a great time.He added: “I am always excited when invited to do my work because that’s what I have mastered my entire life.”“I love working with the young ones because I always use them as a mirror to look into my craft, and you look at them and say I once burned my fingers as well.”

Mkhwane has a well-established career in theater. He has produced and performed in numerous stage plays such as Kaboom, A Boy Called Rubbish, Ilobola, Amazwi Omoya, and Skadonk, just to mention a few.

He said he always tries to find a balance between theater and television.

“I love theater. I am a theater animal, but at one stage, I was forced to move to TV because the theater was very ignored, yet theater is the mother of acting.

“So if you were to ask me where I am now, I am excited by that little move into TV, but I don’t wanna swallow a lot. I am very picky. If you bite a lot on television, your craft tends to fade. So now and again, I return to the theater to revive and rejuvenate my energy.The veteran actor has been in the acting business for 38 years. He said he spent almost 28 years working overseas. He highlighted the difference between how artists are treated abroad versus South Africa.

“Our work now is driven by so-called celebrities, and I don’t think those people are actors, they just want to model in front of the camera and be seen on the screen.

“Even the government is not looking after us. When I was overseas, I realised that their equity was very strong. Artists are looked after, and there is a law that takes care of them.”

He said some production houses also make it hard for actors, especially those who have been in the industry for a long time.

“Businesswise, it’s tough because productions tend to have their own people, [whom] they work with, and some come very cheap, which kills our business. Suddenly, you are being titled as an expensive actor when you believe, ‘I am at this level, and my craft is worth this much,’ which is very sad,

“In this country, they just pull every Tom, Dick, and Harry even from off the streets, and ask them to work because they can pay them peanuts,” he said.

AKA‘s father says he is still trying to come to terms with his son’s passing seven months after he was brutally killed.

The multi-award-winning rapper was shot and killed on 10 February in Florida, Durban, earlier this year.

During an interview on eNCA this morning, Forbes said his family is still trying to accept that AKA is no more.We are okay, but it is very difficult. I think after seven months you start getting to that stage where life is carrying on, and for me, at this point, I feel the gap, the hole of him not being with us anymore.

“I have my bad, very bad, and better days, and I think it will be like that for a while. It wasn’t just losing a child, but the circumstances and the emotional side is still very much there. The tears are very close, anything can trigger an emotional state. “Forbes revealed that he is working on releasing a book. He said AKA’s passing inspired him to write it.

“I remember a couple of days before his funeral, his friends came out, colleagues and artists and almost two to three hours they all spoke about his journey, and I remember feeling proud and grateful at that moment, though it was painful and raw…and I thought, what if those stories could be in a book format. And it’s one of the projects that I have started on. It will probably take a year or so…” he said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
“Kairo is a very strong and resilient child”
Speaking about AKA’s daughter, Kairo Forbes, he said she is a strong child and talks about her father when she wants to.

He added: “She did a track at Joburg Day, for example. She was very brave and said no one else is coming with me. I am doing it alone. But after that… She got sad because she missed her dad at that moment.”
