“I think she was fully booked; I know the previous weekend she was busy hence she couldn’t rehearse,” the source said.“She left a bitter taste in the mouth of the organizers, she is the only one who complained about her mic. Zonke and other big singers who actually came to the event did not have issues with anything or anyone,” the source further said.

South African model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss South Africa 2015, Liesl Laurie and Musa Mthombeni spent days exploring New York City.The South African couple made it their culture to tour different countries and it’s probably in their bucket list to explore the world together.Despite the criticism at their consistent vacation, the two are unbothered and focused on their goal.Taking to social media, Liesl and Musa blessed followers with content from their New York vacation.

New York called again and because we don’t avoid 087/010 numbers we answered with joy in our hearts. This time we’re taking it to the streets and giving you a very CBD experience. As evidenced by the Park Station vibe you see before you, you can see that Musa isn’t scared of anything. It’s giving “Khip’iphone your rubber neck”. To be honest, we only came back because Liesl left her charger last time we were here and she’s emotionally attached to it so…” Musa captioned post.

We’re all just walking each other home”. I still wish you would’ve stayed a little longer and walked me home instead but God makes no mistakes. It’s crazy to think it’s been 3 years old no Luke & Loot. I miss you like mad kid, thank God he gave me the girls before you left. I’ll forever be grateful for the time we had with you. Until the next lifetime kid.The young man died in 2020 and it was a devastating period for Luthando. The saddest thing about death is that sometimes you kind of “forget” they’re gone… & then you want to call them because something only they would get happened/or you want to share exciting news… & then you remember that you can’t and the grieving starts all over again,” LootLove tweeted in 2021.

Fondly known as Queen Moroka on the original Generations soapie, Sophie Ndaba has made headlines in the past for not looking well and in good health. But the seasoned actress is now being lauded for the transformation she has made in the last few years.

Last year on Wold Diabetes Day, November 14, the businesswoman and media personality reflected on living with diabetes for almost a decade.

In a recent interview on Itumeleng Sekhu-Pedi’s YouTube channel, Ndaba spoke about the difficulties of being body-shamed while battling the lifestyle disease.As a child of God I had a different perspective of what they were doing. Yes I was hurt, I’m human but I just realised that I wish they just knew, I wish they had information, I wish they could get tested themselves,” said Ndaba.

“You had people saying ‘oh she’s dying of Aids, she’s dying of Cancer’ I mean just simple diabetes they couldn’t just say ‘let me Google it and get what’s up with this thing she’s talking about’” said Ndaba in the interview.In the same sit-down the actress spoke about the disappointment of how people ignorantly judged her from afar, without really knowing what was wrong with her.

“A person who’s observing from a distance has got their own opinion of what they think is eating you up. They assess, they conclude, they announce. She’s this, she’s that … that is what she is. I think it was premature because when I got an opportunity to address people I just told them ‘I wish you could go get tested because the way you look obese, you look pre-diabetic yourself,” said the 50-year-old.
