Songstress Kelly Khumalo is set to light up our screens next Thursday when her highly anticipated reality show Life with Kelly Khumalo premiers

What would you never be caught wearing in public?

A wedge shoe. I hate it.

What is the number one destination on your bucket list?

There are a lot of them. Right now I would love to visit Morocco.

You’re on death row. What is your last meal?

I’ll probably have pizza. I’ve recently discovered that I love pizza and I love baking pizza.

What do you sleep in?

I like comfy pyjamas, mostly silk.

You wake up as a crayon. What colour are you?

Is there a gold one? I think I’ll be the gold one.

What’s your favourite hang-out spot in the world?

What’s your pet peeve?

I’m annoyed by a lot of things. But one that has been annoying me recently is the gender-based violence and the killings against women.

What message do you have for the South African public when it comes to gender-based violence?

There’s a lot to be said. There are a lot of women dying. I think it’s time to act. If we have to shut down the country, let’s do that. The same thing that we’ve applied to Covid-19, why can’t we apply it to gender-based violence? This is a serious matter that we need to attend to.

No one but myself.

What’s the last thing you do before going to bed at night?

I thank God for life.
Which is the one song you are embarrassed is on your playlist?

I don’t have any because I’m a musician and I find music just beautiful. It doesn’t matter what it means, where it’s from.

What’s the worst purchase you have ever made?

I don’t have one. I’m always very strict about what I buy. If I buy it, I actually want it.

What outfit in your closet do you wear the most?

I’ve recently realized that I’m wearing a lot of black tracksuits and sweaters. That’s what I wear a lot. Maybe because I’m not able to move around and I just want to be comfortable.

What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?

It’s an emerald neck piece that a guy bought me a couple of years ago, a guy who was trying to ask me out. It was too much to be quite honest.

If you could switch bodies with anyone in the world, who would it be?

A Twitter thread has gone viral after social media users shared their alleged experiences with some of Mzansi celebs, some good and some very funny considering the context.

The apparent experiences were sparked by a screenshot of a fan who recalled a bad encounter with TV personality and media mogul Bonang Matheba. The user, @Helena_sifa_ recalled how Bonang refused to have a picture taken with her and her sister, telling them to eat their lunch.

“I was 22, I went out to lunch. Bonang sat next to me and my sister. We asked for a picture and she said, ‘eat your lunch sweety’. So we ate our lunch.”However, another user came to Bonang’s defence, saying the star was probably having a bad day, because “sometimes celebrities also need space”.The tweet prompted many reactions, with some also sharing their stories with other celebrities. While most experiences were allegedly bad, some were good.

And if these encounters are anything to go by, Khanyi Mbau, Kwesta and Cassper Nyovest are some of the coolest and nicest people around.

She may tell jokes for a living but there was no comedy in sight when comedian Nina Hastie took to Twitter to put white privilege on blast after she had an awkward political conversation.

The comedian, who is known to call out prejudice, racism and many other injustices when she sees them, took to her TL to share a lil situation she found herself in recently that left her fuming.

Nina said a conversation which involved opinions about Jacob Zuma, corruption and how “broken parastatals are apartheid legacies” – which she held different opinions about – got heated.

While she left out details of the people she addressed with her scathing tweets, her message was pretty clear.

“a) I really wish Yt (slang for white) people would stop thinking it’s okay to have their political opinions, when I’m not in a position when I can’t respond (my mouth was clamped literally) b) And be surprised when I don’t agree and c) feel offended when I give you another perspective.”

Nina questioned and slammed the ignorance she detected in that conversation that sparked her anger.

“For f***sakes man if you bring up b***s*** politics at lunchtime on a Tuesday, that’s up to you. These same people don’t even know who the deputy president is. They also think that NDZ is still married to Gedleyihlekisa and she’s his spokesperson.”

“How is it that with all the privilege and access and hours of Carte Blanche – are people so ignorant?” she asked.
