Mzansi can’t wait: AKA and Cassper getting ready for boxing match

The social media streets are still unstable after learning that they may finally get the boxing match they’ve been asking for since AKA toyed with the idea and Cassper finally agreed to entertain the match.

According to the recent episode of YouTube podcast PopCast, which features Scoop Makhathini, Ms Cosmo, PH and DJ Speedsta, Cassper confirmed that the boxing match will see the light of day on his Saturday Metro FM show.

“We need to meet in the ring. That’s all I want. It’s too late for apologies,” Cass said on Speedsta’s show.Cassper took to Twitter to post the announcement and share his excitement, totally singing a different tune to the one he was shouting at the top of his lungs just a few weeks back when AKA hurled insults at his entire family while trying to taunt him into accepting the fight.

Now, there aren’t many details available currently except to say that the match is allegedly set for sometime later this year.But, of course, this has not stopped the pair from preparing or the fans from placing their bets and psyching themselves up for the big fight.

The rapper is getting himself some mental training.

“Boxing is such an amazing form of art. The history and the stories are inspiring. True championship shit!!! I have so much respect for people who do this for a living. I’ve been introduced to a new world and I’m inspired,” he said.

AKA has previously said that he and Cassper stood to make millions (each) from the fight and he’s finally got what he wanted.

AKA’s BEEN mentally ready for the fight, so he’s getting his physical training in!

Who are you placing your bet on?

Actress Ayanda Borotho has revealed how it’s like being a mother to her daughter, Ayaphiwa Ngubane, who she’s dubbed a “rebel queen”.

In recent months the actress has been at the forefront of conversations that help empower women and the power they possess.Like taking an extract from her book, Unbecoming To Becoming, Ayanda added that she talks in more details of what she means by that phrase “rebel queen” in chapter 14 of her book that she believes her daughter embodies.

“It talks to raising girl children in our era and the system put in place to suppress their power … my daughter is one such Queen. Train them young to own their power responsibly.

It’s no secret that Ayanda and her daughter share a close bond and they emphasised that on her YouTube series called Conversations With Our Daughters.In one of the episodes, Ayanda speaks about a patriarchy-driven world and women who disempower other women to empower themselves.

During her talk, Ayanda and Ayaphiwa touched on beauty standards and the notion that patriarchy thrives on the oppression of women.“Patriarchy has actually divided women and thrives on our ignorance, identity and power as women. That’s the biggest thing patriarchy has been able to do, which is to write a narrative for women. As a result, it excluded women from writing their own narrative that will allow them to own their own power.

Veteran Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo, make up of Theo Kgosinkwe and Nhlanhla Ncinza, have made a comeback that we are sure will not be forgotten. Leaving the music scene can either leave people wanting more or make them realise that they didn’t care much for your music in the first place.

The much-publicized divorce between Enhle Mbali and DJ Black Coffee has been iced.

This, thanks to the internationally renowned DJ’s estranged wife…

WHO HAS REQUESTED THE COURT NOT TO SIT DOWN THE MATTER FOR TRIAL!

According to insiders, Mbali demands that Black Coffee be hung to dry for a monthly maintenance fee of more than R100 000.This, combined with child support.

But the SunTeam’s trusted sources said Black Coffee wasn’t going down without a fight.

He was even given until the end of last week to file his response, the SunTeam’s informants said, which he allegedly did.

But the demands don’t end there, informants said.

An insider insisted Mbali wanted her soon-to-be ex-hubby to give her more than R17 000 for her beauty expenses.

She also allegedly needed compensation for her medical expenses, including being admitted into the hospital for alleged depression said to be caused by the stressful situation between them.

This includes the money she spent on medication. This as Black Coffee, who reportedly earns more than R100 million per annum, had allegedly stopped paying for everything for Mbali this year.

Another source said she also wanted hubby dearest to reinstate the R30 000 he allegedly used to give her monthly during the happier times of their marriage.

hen called for comment, Mbali referred inquiries to her publicist Tlhogi Ngwato, who sent a statement to the SunTeam.

It read, in part: “The matter is being handled by our legal counsel and we would prefer to keep the details out of the public eye.

“All parties involved are working together to find an amicable solution. My client’s priority remains to ensure the health and well-being of herself and her children.

This, along with a petrol and shopping allowance, another mole said.

Mbali will forever cherish the memories and the time they shared together in making this family. Mbali continues to respect Nathi and wishes him well.”

Another source said the relationship between Mbali and Black Coffee was so bad they only spoke through their lawyers.

The source said Mbali had even blocked him on every platform of
communication.

Another insider said Black Coffee “is really trying to make peace and wants things to flow, especially for the kids”.

When called for comment, Black Coffee asked the SunTeam to send him an SMS, but he hadn’t responded at the time of going to print.

SABC 1 telenovela Uzalo‘s behind the scenes drama would no doubt make better TV than most of the prime-timeshow’s episodes.

And this time around, SA’s favourite production’s saga involves it losing key cast members.

According to insiders Thulane Shange (Thulani) had become a distant memory on Uzalo’s set, with his onscreen ghost set living out the last of its appearances in the TV show.

He stopped shooting two weeks ago, the sources said, When called for comment, Thulane confirmed the breaking news.“Im currently jobless and looking for work. Be that it may, I didn’t leave on bad terms.’ It’s just that my storyline came to an end and yes my last shoot was indeed two weeks ago.”“My contract was originally set to expire in October, but the lockdown period affected the telenovela’s plot, Life is hard, but I keep myself busy by helping musician and Gqom star, Mampintsha with his music videos.”Another source said the producers also pulled the plug on Sizwe Khumbuza (Godfather) When called for comment Sizwe referred all inquiries to Uzalo.

Sizwe was also recruited by Mampintsha for the same video shoot.

” At Uzalo actora are told there are many people who want their jobs, It’s as if they are being done a favor for working there. Truth is, they are the reason the Telenovela is number one .” another mole said.

Actors Dawn Thandeka-King (MaNgobo) and Siyabonga Shibe(Qhabanga) were said to be living on borrowed time as Uzalo’s producers would allegedly get rid of them soon.

“She was very close to one of the directors who left Uzalo for Imbewu, Since the directors’s departure, things have been hard for her.

“Remember how GC (Khaya Dladla) was booted? It will be the same with Dawn. She’ll also be told she will get a call when she is needed.

Siyabonga also complained about his salary.

“It’s not clear how he will exit, All I know is that his job is on the line”, a close source said.

When contacted for comment Shibe said he does not know anything, Thandeka was not available for comment.

There was no response from Uzalo’s publicist Nonfundo Zondi.

“These two are no longer in the producers good books because they made the mistake of asking for a salary increase.Dawn is, in fact, among the actors who have a dark cloud hanging over their head, her attitude recently isn’t doing her any favour, She makes the writers and directors’ job difficult because she sometime demands to change the storylines.”
