KZN businesswoman and reality television star Shawn Mkhize’s name has been all over publications for days following reports that her son Andile Mpisane was behind on payments on a couple of properties. Many reports ran with the speculation that she could be broke and losing her assets, however she seemed relatively unshaken and happy as she celebrated reaching another milestone on Friday evening.

This is not the first time she has found herself in a similar predicament after she was accused of owing SARS over R60 million over the last few years, she survived that and came out on top and it seems like it’s no different this time around. Shawn Mkhize is super rich and has a number of businesses which is why it makes no sense that she could have ran out of money like many news reports suggest.

She took to her Instagram profile to celebrate her account getting verified as she flaunted balloons to mark the occasion. This means that she is now recognized as an official and influential person by Instagram and this looked like a big achievement for her as she cheerful thanked her fans and supporters.

She is currently on 1.2 million followers as she shared her next goal of reaching 2 millions followers. Shawn Mkhize has been rich for ages, however the reality show Kwa MaMkhize which aired on Mzansi Magic catapulted her into the mainstream media and it seems like is enjoying her newly found fame.

She has surpassed a number of celebrities in terms of following over the past few years. She has more followers than most reality stars such as Mpumi Mops, Ayanda Ncwane and many more others. This will definitely contribute to her bag as her platform in now worth a substantial amount in terms of reach for marketing and brand influencing.

Shawn Mkhize just keeps winning despite all the bad rumors going around, she has proven to be strong enough to handle the pressure that comes with being in the public eye. Altough she is yet to address all of the reports it seems like she in nowhere close to being broke as she celebrated her achievements on social media in true MaMkhize style.

previously reported that controversial podcaster; Macgwer Mukwevho of Podcast and Chill with MacG gained over 10k subscribers since he lost his Old Mutual sponsorship.

Daily Sun has now reported that gaming sports group SupaBets who were responsible for licencing his content on SupaTV have now also dumped the podcaster.
The SupaBets marketing director; Sindiswa Metsing released a long statement which read: “Please be informed that SupaTV is suspending the airing of all MacG’s content on its channel while an internal investigation is being conducted. He will also be asked to remove the SupaTV sign-up link and branding on his YouTube channel until further notice.”

Meanwhile MacG’s fanbase; The Chillers is still dramatically growing since he was dropped by both Old Mutual and now SupaBets. When ZAlebs published about his increasing subscriber’s a few days ago, his channel Podcast and Chill with MacG had 121k subscribers and now has 125k subscribers at the time of publishing this article.

Although fans of the popular podcaster don’t support his homophobic comments, they love his authenticity, his rawness, his honesty which has at times gotten him in hot waters.

While MacG and his co-podcasters; Sol Phenduka have apologised for their homophobic comments on his podcast, his bashing on celebrities after the Old Mutual saga on social media might have cost him his second sponsorship.

He mocked Thando Thabethe and more celebrities for cancelling him, but keeping quiet when DJ Fresh and Euphonik were accused of rape.

Actress Thando Thabethe took a jab at MacG:
“Discrimination in the guise of being “raw & unfiltered wish I could unsee that MacG podcast. Disgusted!”

Then MacG fired back:
“What is Thando Thabethe doing? I ran across her podcast numbers the other day. I wish I could unsee that. It’s horrible. Black Friday does better numbers. It shows nobody wants to hear what she is gonna say. Just take your nudes and post them on Instagram, nobody wants to hear what you say. ”

The director, Hams Hanana spoke to Daily Sun where he stated: “We decided to have Jamie on the show because of his realness and the fact that he likes the truth. So, we, as a media platform, always bring real and raw issues affecting people, especially black people and we feel he knows our struggle and pain.

He’s a person who always asks the relevant questions. Questions, that get people to always think further. Plus, he grew up around the hood. We are more than happy to have him at our platform. We know we’re going to move mountains.”

The much loved actor who was celebrated across the continent shocked Mzansi when he exited Rhythm City after 13 years of playing David Genaro.

“Look behind you right now. Is there a little person back there hunched over with fear? A sidechickis the sign of a serious problem.”

“David to Ronald: “What do you want me to do? Get on my kit and give you a flipping lap-dance?”

“My dig is,I don’t think he likes me too much and I’m not gonna be sleeping so well while I’m out there.”

“You don’t honestly believe that Lucilla wouldn’t stab you in the back. Come on! Do me a favour,man. Hell’s Teeth.”

“You called me a monster. Correct, I’m a monster. And if you don’t like it darling, you can lump it, because that is the way that I role…

“Do I look like I’ve just slipped in on a flippin banana peal.”
