A Journey of Healing and Hope
Throughout his recovery, Lvovo has been transparent with his fans, sharing updates and insights into his journey on social media. Despite his eagerness to return to music, medical advice initially restricted him from resuming his musical activities.

In a recent interview with TshisaLIVE, Lvovo expressed his joy at being able to make music again. “It felt incredible to be back doing what I love. Hearing my voice again and knowing it hadn’t changed was a wonderful feeling. The music I’m working on is meaningful, and I feel revitalized after everything I’ve been through. My producer was patient with me, and we didn’t rush the process,” he shared.Lvovo is optimistic about his future projects and plans to release a teaser ahead of his main single in July. “Recording again was a great experience, even though I’m not yet at full strength. Knowing I can still make music is a blessing. The song I recorded, ‘Aba Understandi,’ will mark my comeback,” he revealed.

Woman Dragged for Criticising LaConco for Speaking IsiZulu on Reality Show
Nonkanyiso ‘LaConco’ Conco, a proud IsiZulu-speaking woman, had her bubble broken when a viewer dragged her into this.
LaConco, a cast member on The Real Housewives of Durban, freely speaks her native tongue, IsiZulu. She participated in the spinoff show, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa, and traveled to Jamaica.
The reality TV personality was chastised for primarily interacting with the ladies in IsiZulu. A show fan accused her of failing to accommodate the other ladies.
The show features female characters from several series, including LaConco, who come from diverse backgrounds.

“LaConco needs to stop this thing of mostly speaking IsiZulu. All of the other ladies are accommodating their audience. She’s not the only one with a mother tongue. Entlek why did #showmax bring her back?”
It seems social media users did not support any LaConco slander, especially if she opts to speak her mother tongue.
@TheeAzanian asked:
“You can’t read subtitles?”
@MbalentlePretty defended:
“It’s her punches. Her comments. They entertain us. None of the cast has that factor.”
LondekaMthabela stated:
“At this point, the problem is IsiZulu, y’all just beefing with the language; it’s not us, the people, who speak it, but the language itself. Crazy!
@Bright_Afrika said:
“That lady is so selfish man. Worse she doesn’t wanna talk about her personal life. You don’t know where she stays, what she does, who her friends are, etc.”

Actress Sophie Ndaba has been discharged from the hospital after being admitted over the weekend.

In a lengthy, heartfelt post shared on social media, Ndaba expressed her gratitude to the staff at Wilgehuiwel Hospital, who took very good care of her.

“I am truly grateful that the standard only improves. I say this because my family’s lives have been in your hands, and I always feel safe. God bless your hearts and hands.”

The former Generations star slipped and fell in her bedroom, injuring her ankle.

She thanked everyone who kept her in their thoughts and prayers and she is now ready to begin her healing journey.

“Thank you I love you. I’m finally going home. Yes, in my crutches and wheelchair. It is temporary honey and I’m here for it!

“I always wondered how it felt for those permanently in wheelchairs. I will embrace this process in prayer for you too. Thanks to my family and friends who were next to my hospital bed at midnight to make sure I got a specialist immediately. I love you. Your fast attention ensured I was attended to and didn’t lose my foot. The screws say it all.”

Additionally, Ndaba promised to fulfil all her commitments she had to attend to before her injury.

For now, she will be at home recovering.

Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla’s close proximity with her dad, former president Jacob Zuma, has elevated her public persona in the past few years.

Out of the president’s over 20 children, Zuma-Sambudla is the one who has been in the spotlight most with her father as he makes a roaring comeback to mainstream politics, much to the angst of parties like the ANC and EFF, who suffered election setbacks because of Zuma’s new MK party.

It was Duduzile who was with her father in December last year when he announced he would be voting for the MK party in last week’s watershed elections. In fact, she read part of the speech on her father’s behalf that day.Zuma-Sambudla is number 18 on the MK party’s list to Parliament. She will be one of 58 MK members headed for deployment in Parliament.

 

 

 

 

After the party’s resounding success at the May elections, where they secured over 14% of the national votes and over 2.3 million votes around the country, Zuma-Sambudla has again been central to the public spectra over the MK party – boldy telling media cameras the party would not work with the “ANC of Ramaphosa”.As Duduzile, who is a twin with Duduzane, begins building her public profile as a politician, a deep dive into her much-loved TikTok shows how “Dudu” lives her lavish life with private jets, indulging in bubbly, staying fit in the gym and sharing her bikini snaps, like many young South Africans do these days.Ever so curious, we all rushed over to her TikTok account to see what she’s been up to.

It seems Zuma’s daughter loves TikTok just as much as other folks do. Duduzile, 42, is a twin with Duduzane. Their mother was Kate Mantsho Zuma, Zuma’s Mozambican wife who died by suicide in Pretoria in December 2000.

Duduzile was previously married to Eastern Cape businessman Lonwabo Sambudla. They wedded in 2011 and have been separated for over five years.

While, just like others, she does many TikTok challenges and videos to voice-overs, she shows off her lavish lifestyle while doing it.

In one video she is seen boarding a private jet to the voice-over of someone saying that they don’t fly in “those” kinds of planes where you have to climb over people to get to the bathroom.

The message is clear: we don’t do domestic.

In the clip we see Duduzile showing off the luxurious interior of the private jet.

In another video captioned: “Room service please”, we see her in a snazzy hotel room wearing nothing but a white towel and lip-syncing to Beyoncé’s hit song “Alien Superstar” as she holds a bottle of GH Mumm champagne in her hand.

In a more recent video, she’s seen lip-syncing to Cardi B’s “Like What” track while wearing a MK party printed wrap around her body.

While “singing” to the lyrics, she shows the logos of the ANC and DA parties on one side and on the other side the IEC logo as she says, “First that b*tch hates me, then this b*tch hate me”.

When the lyrics go: “And somehow, they link up and they become friends” she shows the logo of the Judiciary in the centre.

While most of her videos show off her lavish lifestyle, she did however share a very funny clip on Wednesday, of her and her siblings chasing their dad around the house trying to get him to do a TikTok challenge with them.
