When DJ and presenter Lerato Kganyago announced that she and husband Thami Ndlala had separated, she became a trending topic on social media.

This comes two months after the then-lovebirds tied the knot in a lavish traditional ceremony attended by family and close friends. Lerato posted a statement about the separation on Instagram. “We have nothing more to say on the subject, and hope that our privacy will be respected during this difficult time,” she wrote in the now-private post.But that wasn’t to be, instead social-media users had a lot to say about the end of their union. This became worse after false allegations of businessman Thami being a conman and serial fraudster started surfacing.

While some users were mean to her, there were those who sympathised with the DJ. Some went as far as giving Lerato advice on how to protect her finances since speculation became rife that she had married in community of property.

Known to be the queen of the clapback, she responded to some of the tweets.

Who signed a marriage contract though? ????‍?‍ Don’t make conclusions based on social media gossip! Thank you for caring though ?? Happy Sunday

Legendary musician Sello “Chicco” Twala has called on rap juggernaut AKA to return the money paid to him by IMPRA (Independent Music Performance Rights Association) whom he accused of corruption.Twala said he and the Fela In Versace hitmaker should pay back the money because they were overpaid by IMPRA. The I Need Some Money singer said this in text messages sent to artists this week as he moved his campaign to a higher gear to root out corruption in the music royalty collecting society.

“AKA and other artists who received lump sums from IMPRA, including myself last year, should pay back the money we received because it was way too much. This was done at the expense of other musicians just to impress the minister [of sports and arts – Nathi Mthethwa] that IMPRA pays more,” reads Twala’s text message.Although Twala did not disclose how much he and AKA received, allegations abound that he was paid at least R500 000 and AKA was paid at least R1-million last year. Twala told Sunday World that an audit should be conducted to determine how much he and AKA should repay. He also said some of the musicians, whom he did not disclose, will have to pay back the full amounts because their songs were not even played on radio and yet they were paid needle time royalties.

“The auditing process will determine how much we must pay back but, in reality, we have been overpaid. Some of the musicians might even have to pay back the full amount because they were not even played on radio in that period.”

Sunday World has learnt that the artists Twala said should pay back the full amounts include a well-known maskandi artist, whose music was not on high rotation in 2018, but was paid at least R450 000 and another artist, whose revolutionary songs were popular in the 1980s, who was also paid R150 000 despite his music not being played on radio stations.

IMPRA president Dodo Monamodi said his office would not disclose how much the artists were paid, citing confidentiality. AKA’s manager, Tshiamo Letshwene, told Sunday World yesterday that they will wait for the outcome of the audit before commenting on Twala’s claims about the money that he said was paid to South Africa’s rap powerhouse.

“The top 10 musicians, including myself, was just a scam. Also note that we did not know that IMPRA was a sham. We all thought the payments were playlist-based until I recently find [sic] out how IMPRA operated.” Twala also said more details about the corruption in the sector will be revealed when the law takes its course. “The rest will be revealed when the matter is brought to court. We also should not receive any royalties in the current financial year from IMPRA.”

Kelly Khumalo has left a follower dizzy after a confrontation over the star’s decision to post pictures of her with bae Chad da Don.

Kelly has never been scared to show off her lovelife on social media and ever since she and Chad got back together a few weeks ago our Instagram feeds have been filled with snaps of the pair looking all loved up.

While many of her followers were gushing over the pair, one follower rolled into the comments section of her latest post to suggest she chill on all the posting.

“Less is more,” the followers addedKelly wasn’t here for games and told the follower to stop sticking their nose in her love life.And sis didn’t hold back.

“Our lives, our decisions. Don’t f*cking tell us what to do.”

Kelly has been inundated with messages about her relationship with Chad and shot off a warning to all those who wanted to come onto her page with their two cents on the issue.

“If you hate it, unfollow. It’s that simple.”

Speaking to TshisaLIVE recently, Chad’s mom Norma confirmed that the pair are engaged and happier than ever.

She also slammed the idea that it was all a publicity stunt.

“Yes, they are back together and are engaged. I think it’s ruthless and thoughtless for people to just label their love or what they have as a publicity stunt. Especially because there are children in this picture. Chad is besotted with those kids, we love those kids and they would never play with the kids’ feelings in the name of publicity,” Norma said.
