TV personality and model Maps Maponyane has been arrested!

Maps who is the son of soccer legend Marks Maponyane was bust by the Mpumalanga Provincial Traffic Officers today for excessive speeding.

“We have lost so many people including those in the public eye on the roads, they are not immune, they are not being spared either.

It is important for them to behave accordingly on the roads to inspire many other people who look up to them to respect the rules of the road,” he said.

According to Mpumalanga community safety spokesman, Moeti Mmusi, Maponyane was caught driving at 178km/h in a 120km/h on the N4 toll road near Alkmaar.

He was charged with reckless and negligent driving,” he said.

Maponyane was released on an R500 bail by the Mbombela police. He is expected back in the Mbombela Magistrates Court on Friday.

Mmusi has since called on public figures to be exemplary on the roads.

Mzansi’s all-time favorite besties Pearl Thusi and DJ Zinhle, are not bothered by rumors that they are in a relationship. In an article published by TimesLive, it reports that two refuted the claims.

The TV stars recently appeared on Somizi‘s hit show Dinner at Somizi’s, and the episode was LIT as they opened up about a lot of things! The besties spoke about their love lives, and their soaring careers.

Somizi prepared a meal for the two and afterward they engaged in a conversation. It is no secret that Pearl and Zinhle have been tight-knit for many years now, and they have the most envy-worthy relationship.The besties continue to serve some real friendship goals and it seems as if no one will separate them because they are not bothered by what naysayers say.Pearl said they do not pay attention to the rumors that they are dating anymore, “It’s like when you know something is so false that you can’t even really pay attention to it,” she said.“We are in an industry where we have not experienced a sisterhood, so when we found each other — or when she found me — we just couldn’t believe what we have, a friendship that is actually real,” said Zinhle.

In 2018 Zinhle set the records straight on her s.e.xuality. This follows after the DJ was being interviewed by MacG, who said he thought Zinhle was lesbian. “When I first met you, I thought you were a lesbian dude, I’m not gonna lie. When I first met you, you used to always chill with this girl. I never saw you with a guy… And you’re dressing in, like, tomboy clothes.”

Zinhle responded by saying she is not lesbian and there is nothing wrong with being lesbian.

“A lot of people seem to think so. It’s so weird. I don’t know if there’s a lesbian look. I mean there’s nothing wrong with being lesbian. I am definitely not a lesbian and it is a fair judgement,” she said.

Having been left in their feels after attending several virtual funerals thanks to The River writers, fans of the popular telenovela reached their last emotional straw when the writers killed Khabzela’s mother Regina in a fire.

Then – true to The River writer’s style – Khabzela’s joy turned into tears when Regina’s shack went up in flames, resulting in her death because she was still too drunk to think her way out. The worst part is Khabzela ignored the phone call from Regina where she was asking for help and now fans are scared that he’ll never forgive himself.

It looks like if they stay tuned in, they are in for a long and painful display of Khabzela going through the absolute most!

The viewers are convinced that the writers have no peace and are obsessed with pain. After watching a scene where Khabzela’s painful cry made them forget the whole thing is fictional, they were ready to march to head writer Phathu Makwarela’s house to demand answers.

Fans were hit even harder because just the other day Khabzela (whose character is played by the talented Thapelo Sebogodi) was the happiest they have ever seen him. The taxi driver had finally had his “mama I made it” moment when he bought a taxi and they had a young celebration where Regina messed with the fire water.

On Wednesday more than 500 KZN artists embarked on a march blocking a major highway, themed #OperationVula and #VulaPresident. They are demanding President Cyril Ramaphosa to open live events.

Dladla Mshunqisi who was at the scene told Daily Sun that they were not violent, but police attacked them.

“We were not fighting with them and we were not resisting but police attacked us. We were sprayed with tear gas and rubber bullets were fired at us. We started running for our lives. I cannot remember all the details because at some point I fell on the ground and fainted. Somebody must have poured water on me because when I gained my consciousness, I was wet,” explained Mshunqisi adding that he could have easily died in the process.A source close to the situation said that a handful of artists were injured and some of them were arrested.

“At this stage we don’t know how bad the injuries are and some of them are in police detention with those injuries. At this point in time they are not even getting medical attention inside prison,” said the source.

President of CCIFSA, Joy Mbewana told Daily Sun that as the organization they are very angry at the police.“Our members were not fighting; they were not a threat to anyone, and they were not even armed but they were attacked.

We also know that our members are law-abiding citizens. As a result, we would like to see justice being served,” said Joy.

On Wednesday night the 35 artists were still behind bars.

“At this point in time we have managed to raise some funds for bail. We’ve also managed to legal practitioners who will be dealing with this case going forward,” said Joy.

Former president Jacob Zuma will not attend the state capture inquiry as was expected.

His lawyer, Eric Mabuza says Zuma is too busy preparing for his corruption trial.

He says the Zondo Commission set the dates for Zuma’s appearance without communicating with them.

The former president was expected to appear before the commission next week, after a postponement in January due to ill health.

He made a series of allegations when he appeared at the inquiry in July last year.
