South African musician, Cassper Nyovest, has joined his industry peers in protesting against the continued ban on live events and concerts due to the nationwide lockdown. The rapper, who has stayed relatively quiet on social media about the protests, took to Twitter to share his empathy to non-celebrities affected by the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, and asked the President to consider them.

He stated, “The entertainment industry doesn’t feed artists only. There are cleaners, security guards, caterers, sound technicians, PR, engineers, tent owners, barricade fence owners, light technicians that have lost their livelihoods since March.”

The BongiNkosi creator has previously spoken out about the lack of income experienced by entertainers in particular during the lockdown, but has also boasted about his multiple income streams. In July 2020, he tweeted, “I’m currently the face of Ciroc, Samsung and Power Play. Keep your brand clean and you will eat!!!”.

His choice to brag about the fact that he is still financially stable whilst many South Africans are struggling to survive, caused Tweeps to call him out for his hypocrisy. Many accused him of dragging non-celebs into his plea to the President, as an aid in getting back big ticket gigs such as live shows and concert tours.

Thabiso Sibanyoni stated, “Ey ey ey fight your battles, we will fight ours in due time, you never support us in any of our struggles. You just want our money that’s all.” Some also highlighted the fact that people do not have the money to spend on luxuries such as entertainment right now, and that artists are pressuring the public to gather in large crowds which could put them in a position where they could easily contract the virus.

t’s been just over a month since actress and television presenter Lerato ‘Zah’ Moloi lost her mother Candy Moloi to cancer. Since

Candy, best known for her role as Vho-Makhadzi on the SABC2 soapie “Muvhango”, died in a Pretoria hospital at the age of 67.
Lerato took to Instagram to share the moment of shaving her head, explaining why it was so important to her.

“It was important for me to have my hair shaved off today in honour of my Mama. It was brain cancer that killed her essentially. The last six months of her life, she didn’t have hair on her head due to chemotherapy and that bothered her so much. She would often ask me if her hair would ever grow back and I would assure her that it would.’m a spitting image of my mommy with my hair shaved off, so I think I’ll keep this look for a bit longer so that I see my Mama’s beautiful image every time I look into the mirror.”

She never got the chance to grow her hair back, however, she looked absolutely beautiful throughout her graceful battle with cancer,” Lerato explained.

The actress added that she knew that her resemblance to her mother was even more visible with a shaved head, and therefore she planned to keep the look for a while longer.

then, she has decided to shave her head in her late mother’s honour.

The recent debate about fatphobia and “exclusive” body positivity has left satirist Lesego Thlabi triggered, and the Coconut Kelz creator has asked people not to divide the movement by gaslighting the institutionalised bias that already exists against fat people.

A post by Lesego “Thickleeyonce” Legobane on the body positivity movement not being for “slim bodies already accepted by society” divided social media and sparked a fierce debate on body shaming.

As a plump-bodied person herself, Lesego weighed in on the debate, speaking from personal experiences and observations of the world around her.

The very first thing people come at me for when they disagree with my opinions is my weight. I’ve seen it with other fat girls. Fat is seen as unattractive and unhealthy. And undesirable. We have not until now seen our bodies celebrated and been told it’s ok to love ourselves.” she said.

As the debate raged on, Lesego used some examples to emphasise that fatphobia was very real to her.

“Guys until recently we didn’t even have sizes over 16 in most high street stores. Clothing designers just said, ‘you don’t deserve to wear our sh**’. We had to custom make or open up ‘plus-size stores’.

“You can name the plus-size models because there’s like two on supermodel status and like 4 in SA. Our sizes are not seen as normal. They’re called plus because there’s the norm and then everything else is extra. Can’t you see how even the language we use excludes us?” she asked.

The comedian went on to tell a story of how she lost out on a big role just last year because even after she knocked the audition out the park she was told that they “didn’t imagine her as fat”.

Lesego explained that even if she “out-trains” and “outruns” her friends with smaller body shapes, people would always assume that she’s “lazy and unhealthy”.

Nandi Madida Reacts To Her Son’s Schoolmate’s Calling Her Nala. Singer and actress Nandi Madida has been living her ancestors wildest dreams as her role as Nala in Beyoncé’s hit visual album Black Is King, but many felt her story was farfetched, when she claimed that toddlers at her son’s school called her by her character’s name.

Nandi took to Twitter to gush over the success of her career, including her role as Nala on Black Is King, stating that the news has now even reached the attention of the toddlers from her son’s school.

“Dropped my son at school and it’s been a while (we haven’t been to school since March) and I realised today that to some of Shaka’s toddler school friends I am now ‘Nala’. I hear ‘Wow! Shaka’s mom is Nala. Black Is King!’ The power of Disney” Nandi wrote.

The masses found the now deleted tweet hard to believe and called her out, claiming it is impossible for toddlers to be able to come to this conclusion by themselves and soon flooded memes on Madida’s TL weighing in on the star’s comments, however the actress just laughed off the scrutiny.

“Even I am laughing at the comments. Twitter is the most entertaining platform. It’s an extreme sport and not for the faint-hearted. No-one is safe. You have to know how to laugh at yourself” she wrote.
