Vusi Nova launched his record label named Nova Sounds. The label was launched shortly after departing his former record label, Muthaland Entertainment.

 

 

 

 
Speaking about the new music company, IOL said, “The move is a significant one for Nova who has always been committed to fostering creativity and amplifying the voices of talented artists across genres. The label will focus on multiple music genres to provide a platform where artists can flourish, express their unique musical identities, and connect with audiences on a global scale.”Nova Sounds has already signed up a few emerging and established artists like 047, an Afropop trio from the Eastern Cape, who are popularly known for their single “Ubuhle”, and former “Idols SA” contestant Kwanda, who is set to make his mark in the Afropop genre.“Our mission is to empower artists with the resources and support they need to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry. We are committed to authenticity, artistic integrity, and the pursuit of ground-breaking sounds.”

For Black Friday, power utility Eskom has given the nation 50% of our electricity supply off, with some areas set to spend more than 12 hours without power this weekend.“It is with great regret that due to the shortage of generating capacity and emergency reserves, stage 6 load shedding will be implemented from 12pm today until 5am on Monday.“Eskom will publish further communication today and continue to closely monitor the power system,” Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said on Friday morning.

 

 
Load sheddingThe escalation in load shedding follows warnings by Eskom that the grid was under severe constraint.

The parastatal experienced a spike in breakdowns over the past few weeks forcing it to escalate power cuts to stage 4 on Wednesday.

Major disappointment

As Eskom continues its battle to keep the lights on, Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa labelled the performance of the parastatal’s power station in generating electricity over the past two weeks as a “major disappointment”.

Ramokgopa said South Africa experienced frequent load shedding in recent times due to the unplanned capacity loss factor.

This meant generation units were failing at a much faster rate in the weeks preceding the two-week period.

“Part of the deterioration is that we have had a significant failure of a cluster of units at Eskom,” the minister told reporters.

Lack of maintenance

In August, Ramokgopa said Eskom was losing hundreds of thousands of megawatts of electricity due to a lack of consistent maintenance at some of its power stations.

The minister said the historical lack of maintenance of electricity infrastructure resulted in the underperformance of some power stations which could be adding capacity to the electricity grid.

With an illustrious career spanning years, Nomvelo Makhanya has quickly become one of the most sought-after actresses in South Africa.

Since her thrust into stardom, she has wowed many with her talent. Despite being one of the most followed stars, she has kept her private life under wraps.

 

 

ACTRESS NOMVELO MAKHANYA’S AGE REVEALED
She has quickly become an influencer thanks to her huge social media following. The actress set social media abuzz after she dropped her picture-perfect photos.

Fans questioned Nomvelo Makhanya’s age in the backdrop of her now-viral photos. Many have credited her workouts for her youthful looks. Fans are still puzzled that she is 27. No doubt she is fit as a fiddle.

The celebrated actress was born on 24 April 1996. he has kept her youthful looks through healthy diets and exercises.While a teenager, she had her small-screen debut, and since then, she has wowed viewers with her acting flair. She is best known for her on-screen character of ‘Lindiwe Ngema’ in the e.tv drama series Scandal!

Over the years, she has starred in several television productions and theatre plays, including The Bald Prima Donn and African Reflections.

‘God took me by surprise’ — Skeem Saam actress Innocent Sadiki becomes the senior pastor of her church, and her husband is also a pastor.
Innocent has made her name in South Africa as an actress and presenter, but Innocent is probably more famous for having an identical twin. She got into the limelight when she was featured in SABC 1’s soap opera Skeem Saam as Sthoko. Ever since, the public has fallen in love with her and her twin sister, making them trend in social media for how they confuse people. Like any other twin set, Innocent and her sister Millicent have a strong bond and do many things together.

Apart from her acting career Innocent Sadiki is also a Pastor. In 2010 she got married to a pastor named Phindulo Sadiki. Her husband went on to start his own church three years into the marriage. Innocent, however, started the journey of being a preacher when she was 19 years old. Despite who she married, her love for the church has always been evident.

 

 

 

 

She started shooting a reality TV show called Pastor’s wives to get people to experience how it is like to be a preacher and a young celebrity church leader. People in her church don’t understand that she has other things that she does in her life. She says they expect her to be at home praying for them every hour of each day. Also, because of her acting career, many congregants begin to question her stand in church. She constantly shares her sermons on Instagram and has a Tik Tok account.

The 33-year-old leading lady, famous for playing Sthoko on the SABC 1 soapie, says being a pastor’s wife and young celebrity preacher with liberal views comes with some challenges. The Mamelodi-born star will be putting her private life on full display when she invites cameras into her home with husband Phindulo and two daughters.

Together with her twin sister, they have started a production company that teaches kids from deprived households how to act. She was a housemate in Big Brother Mzansi. Together with her sister, they were presenters on One Gospel. They also landed roles in a TV production called Big Break Legacy.

Innocent may be known as a strong, beautiful, and successful woman, but her life was not always smooth. She was brought into this world with much hope, but her world crashed when her mother died when she was four years old. Luckily, she had her twin sister, and the two went to live with their grandparents.
