You are truly a living proof that beauty and brains can go together well. Congratulations on achieving the honours nkosyam mama! I am so proud of you, thank you for being an inspiration to us all. I love you so much, my graduate.

Kayisile Zulu is blessed with wonderful kids who throw a bash for her graduation. Kayisile’s daughters Ntando and Lady Amar are impressed with their mother and celebrated her graduation in style. The party was of class, and it was not the first time Ntando was doing beautiful things for her mother.

Mzansi is inspired by how Ntando values her family, and they always shower her with praises. Ntando is grateful for having Kayisile as her mother, and she ensures her mother lives like a queen staying in a beautiful home, wearing expensive outfits and driving first-class cars. In 2021 Ntando built a new house for her mother as a token of appreciation for her role in her life.

Kayisile and her girls took social media by storm in April after sharing a video dancing to the viral Umlando dance. Ntando Duma’s mother showed Mzansi that her daughters inherited dancing skills from her. She nailed the Umlando dance with her girls, leaving many astonished by how the grany moved her waist and hips like a professional dancer. Kayisile has a great relationship with her children; they always go on vacations together.

Mrs Hlongwane of Gomora posted a video of herself teaching Gloria from Scandal her native tongue to her fans on social media. Leera Mthethwa, a.k.a. Miss Hlongwane on Gomora, has a segment on social media where she instructs various celebrities.

 

 

 

Leera and Marjorie Langa collaborated on the video because they appear on Redemption, a new show. Leera is one of the few people in the nation who can speak Spitori, which is not an easy language to learn. In her segment, which goes by the hashtag #spitoriWithJackie, she asks famous people if they are familiar with specific Spitori words or can even pronounce them. Marjorie is someone to watch out for because she keeps interrupting Leera, but the two have become friends and feel at ease around one another.

In the video she shared on Instagram, Leera asks Marj what she thinks “snogonogo” means. Marjorie completely misunderstands the question because she is unfamiliar with Spitori and claims that the word is used to describe something nice. However, Leera corrected her, as the term refers to money. Leera appears to be the only celebrity fluent in the hip vernal dialect, and she is undoubtedly teaching the entire industry daily. Her accent on Gomora served as the inspiration for this segment; viewers fell in love with the way she spoke and constantly emphasized it; as a result, she realized how much they enjoyed it and turned it into a game and challenge. Leera is well admired for this.

The well-known South African actress Leera Mthethwa portrays Jackie Hlungwani on Gomora’s TV program. She flawlessly displays her flair in her television appearances, which always leaves viewers in awe. The actress enrolled at Pro Arte Alphen Park in Pretoria at 13 after realizing she had a talent for the arts. She then signed up at ADFA to start her live performance bachelor’s program. She added cherries to her cake by continuing her education at the University of Pretoria.

On-screen Former Gomora High School principal Melusi Dlamini worked closely with Jackie Hlungwani, who took over after he was arrested. As acting principal, she could not manage the school; Mr Nkosinathi Cele, played by Fezile Makhanya, took her place. Because she portrays Mrs Jackie on Gomora, the teacher who is close to Melusi and doesn’t bat an eye when students misbehave, Mzansi’s small-screen appearances are worthwhile. She always tells Mzansi to beware of her charming appearance; a tough persona is concealed behind that.

MUSA MSELEKU ON HOW HE HANDLES FINANCES WITH HIS FOUR WIVES
Musa Mseleku is married to four women, MaCele, MaYeni, MaNgwabe and MaKhumalo who appeared on the second season of Real Housewives of Durban. The polygamist appeared on Old Mutual’s On the Money to speak about all things family and money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When asked how much he spends on groceries for his big family, Mseleku revealed that they spend a whopping R30 000 per month.

“Look at it like this, the basics like oil and things like that come up to around R4 500. Then you add cleaning materials then you get up to R 6 000,” he explained.

“I may be underestimating, per household. Then you multiply for each household, which gets you to the R30 000 range.”

ARE MSELEKU’S WIVES FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT?
Mseleku explained that two of his wives are employed and the other two are self-employed. He added that he was not involved in how much they earn and he does what he can as the head of the household.

“If they don’t save the money they make, they will have a crisis,” he said.

“Let me put it like this, if you have a child who has an opportunity to make money while you’re still alive, that child must save their money.”

TAKING A FIFTH WIFE
Mseleku wanted to take on a fifth wife at the end of season five of his reality show, Uthando Nes’thembu, but he failed to make it a reality.

“I’m asking my wives to allow me to take a fifth wife, it’s no longer a question to me. I’m just waiting for them to say yes or no. And, I’m doing it the modern way. If it was before [during the olden days], I’d be telling them that I’m taking another wife,” he said as per The Citizen.

“The way it’s supposed to be done, is for me to engage with the first wife and tell her I intend to take a fifth wife and she would communicate with the other wives, but in the modern times – it does not work that way because all the wives have to be treated equally.”

Hungani Ndlovu, better known as Romeo on Scandal, is slated to star in a new movie. The young actor, who recently became a father, appears to be taking the industry by storm, and it seems his fans are here for it.

Hungani has been cited a few times as one of the best actors this nation has ever produced because he gives every one of his performances his all and ensures that he does so flawlessly. In the movie’s trailer, which he shared on Instagram, it appears that he is a hero and will attempt to save others. Mzansi believed the teaser he posted was very alluring, and they couldn’t wait to see the movie. They commented with fire emojis to show they thought it would be a hit, with some speculating that it would be a horror film. Fans are convinced that this is the movie’s name because he used the hashtag #TheBUM in his caption, but he didn’t say when the movie would be released—he just wrote that it would be coming soon.

Recently, as a push present for Stephanie, Hungani Ndlovu, who is winning the “husband Olympics,” surprised her with a brand-new R1 million BMW.

The romance between Hungani and Stephanie serves as an inspiration for Mzansi. The couple has supported one another through good times and is quickly rising to the top of Mzansi’s favourite couples. Hungani was praised for being a good husband for acknowledging his wife’s difficulties while pregnant and surprising her with a BMW in many comments on their YouTube channel. The channel is multiplying daily; at the rate they are going on YouTube, they might leave acting and focus on that full-time.
