Zahara is Somizi’s guest tonight
One of Mzansi’s most-anticipated cooking shows, “Dinner at Somizi’s”, finally hits the screens this Friday, with ZAHARA Chuene as Somizi Mhlongo-Motaung’s first guest.

Hosted by Mzansi’s fave and hubby Mohale Motaung-Mhlongo, the cooking-cum-talk-show premieres on 1Magic on Friday, July 10, at 7 pm.

The newlyweds open the doors of their house to myriad guests and exchange stories before heating things up in chef Somgaga’s beautiful kitchen.

In the tell-all season one premiere, Chuene opens about the cut-throat entertainment, her love life, and her “feisty” social media presence.

The actress, who won the hearts of many with her role as Gracious Mabuza on Mzansi Magic’s popular telenovela “The Queen”, broke the hearts of many when she confirmed her exit from the show, which caused a social media frenzy. Now the star is ready to spill the tea with Somgaga.

And Chuene makes a spectacular comeback in BET’s drama titled, “Isono.”

Chuene will star along some of Mzansi’s best, including the likes of Nthati Moshesh, Bohang Moeko, Senzi Radebe, Anga ‘Naakmusiq’ Makubalo, Didintle Khunou and Tokollo ‘TK’ Sebothoma

Popular SABC 1 soapie Uzalo has become the latest big name show to halt production due to Covid-19 after a crew member tested positive for the coronavirus.

The news was confirmed to TshisaLIVE by the SABC on Friday.

In a statement, the broadcaster said it has been notified by producers, Stained Glass TV, that it was shutting down on Friday and would “follow all the necessary protocols”.

It said the broadcast of the soapie would not be affected.

The broadcaster confirmed that all other productions which had been halted because of the virus had now resumed.

This includes Muvhango, which put a stop to filming last month to reduce the risk of exposure to Covid-19 on and off the set.

“The SABC can confirm that Muvhango has resumed production and will continue to adhere to all the precautionary measures under alert level 3, as communicated by government,” Acting SABC Spokesperson, Ms Mmoni Seapolelo, said.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE in an recent interview, Uzalo actress Thuthuka Mthembu said the production had gone a long way to ensure safety on set. This included limiting the number of people on set for a recent wedding scene, social distancing, wearing of masks and sanitising before exchanging rings.

“The work we do requires us to get up close and personal with each other, so it has been incredibly challenging and we have had to do things differently.

“We have our masks on and we are doing a lot of communicating with our eyes. It has to happen for the safety of all of us.”

Scoop Makhathini has moved to clarify his comments about music veterans needing to take a recording break after rapper AKA called him out.

The radio personality got tongues wagging when, in a recent Popcast YouTube episode, he called on Cassper, AKA and Kwesta to take a break from making music.

AKA doesn’t play though, and after hitting back on Twitter, he called Scoop to discuss his comments.

He told Scoop he was not going to step aside for young artists to take his throne.

“I said: ‘That’s not what I am saying. These youngsters are coming in regardless. Time is going to move. You are not holding up anyone’s spot and no-one is coming to take your spot. People are going to take their thrones, no-one is going to sit on anyone’s chair,'” Scoop said about the most recent episode of the show.

He said he encouraged AKA to be the best he could be, and said the break could help him work on his music.

“I’m not saying stop recording, but not everything you record should be put out. It will help you find new flows, find new word plays. You are exercising yourself all over again.”

He said AKA should be okay with leaving the Supa Mega personae behind and embracing something new.Scoop Makhathini received a call from AKA.

Did Enhle Mbali Just Throw Subtle Shade at Black Coffee? They say hell hath no fury lie a woman scorned. Could this be the case with Enhle Mbali? It is no secret that the talented actress, fashion designer and businesswoman’s marriage to Black Coffee is almost over.

Although the two try as much as possible to not take their marital woes to social media, here and there they get tempted to. A few days ago, Enhle shared a lengthy post on Instagram talking about how the last three years have tested her physically, mentally an emotionally.

“I have been through so many life changes and I’m greatful as the universe continues to show me my greatness, even when it was being viciously striped away from me, and none existent finish lines were being drawn on the ground and removed just before I reach them, the spirit of hopelessness would knock at my door reminding me of my unhappiness. They will cheat, mistreat you, allow others to mistreat you only because you give them permission,” she said.Well, Enhle has shared another post on Twitter, which many belief is an indirect response to Black Coffee. She shared a hilarious meme, captioned, “Let’s laugh some more. Dear bitter people we have healed, look behind you and seek help.” Ouch!!

“Seek help…. please,” Black Coffee responded to Enhle’s post. His comment has since been deleted, but not before screenshots were taken
