After watching Wednesday’s night episode of Gomora, fans of the series have had to unwillingly admit that it was never the alcohol that made Zodwa a bad mother, and they were heartbroken to find out just how toxic she is.

Zodwa, whose character is played by veteran actress Sana Mchunu, has been slowly revealing her true colours since she returned from rehab.Realising how problematic she was, Zodwa was sent to rehab by Teddy’s principal after her behaviour started affecting Teddy’s school work.

Fans initially thought Gladys (the principal’s wife) was obsessed with Teddy and they thought she was just being terrible to Zodwa because she looked down on her.

However, since she’s been back from rehab she’s only revealed that she’s a mean, unstable and abusive person and now Gomora fans can’t help but worry for Teddy’s future.Since she’s been back, even fans had to admit that her presence wasn’t good for Teddy. Not only is she emotionally manipulative, but she doesn’t care for Teddy’s school work and fans can no longer blame the alcohol.

Check out their reactions below.

Songstress Buhlebendalo Mda has recently taken to Instagram to explain why she immediately switched to defence mode when she was in the company of two males she assumed were intending to hurt her.

After recently dropping an album that topped music charts and increased her fan base exponentially, Buhlebendalo should be enjoying the fan love gestures that are coming her way thick and fast.

However, due to the current state of the country where gender-based violence is concerned, she’s been living in constant fear. So much so that she recently freaked out when a male fan tried to show her love in the parking lot.

“Bo bhuti, the way we are so scared of you. (I) found myself switching into defence mode when trying to park and one supporter of my music was trying to greet me. He waved with such excitement, but I flipped … ” she said.

She immediately concluded that the fan was working with the car park assistant to distract her in order to make way for something awful to happen to her.

“I didn’t know if he was teaming up with the guy who was helping park, so they distract me and later hurt me and my baby. I panicked because it happened before,” she said.

The songstress dropped her first solo project, Chosi, a few weeks back and said the man may also have just been an excited fan looking to celebrate her and her music face-to-face.

A week after Muvhango announced that it had halted production due to the Covid-19 pandemic, two hit e.tv soapies Rhythm City and Scandal! have paused shooting after positive cases of the coronavirus had been recorded on set.

e.tv publicist Lerato Maboi confirmed to TshisaLIVE on Thursday that the productions had been put on ice and said those affected were self-isolating.

“e.tv can confirm that positive cases of Covid-19 have been recorded on two of its weekday soapies Rhythm City and Scandal!. Both sets of the local production premises have been shut down and undertaking the necessary testing for exposed cast and crew members.

“The sets have undergone deep cleaning to further minimize the risk of contamination, in accordance with Covid-19 protocols. Affected individuals are currently undergoing self-isolation until the end of the stipulated 14-day period.”

She said filming would resume when “it is appropriate to do so”.

“e.tv, Quizzical Pictures and Ochre Media will continue to monitor the health of affected employees. Filming will resume when it is appropriate to do so.”

The news comes as radio station Kaya FM confirmed that it had closed its premises, due to a confirmed Covid-19 case amongst staff.

“Our company of 97 employees have been informed, and we as a company are managing the potential for further exposure pending the results of other employee’s tests,” the stations said in a statement.

Last week, Muvhango series producer Herbert Hadebe confirmed that the soapie had been halted, after one of their employees revealed that they may have been exposed to the virus off the set.

“We are prioritising safety of all staff members. We will be constantly monitoring the evolving situation and adapting our efforts and responses. We will continue working together with the SABC as we comply with Covid-19 regulations,” said Hadebe.

Earlier this month, SABC 1’s Skeem Saam stopped working due to the risk of exposing the rest of the cast and crew members.

Cast and crew of 1 Magic’s The River were also forced to stop work after a crew member tested positive for Covid-19.

“After we received the news of the colleague testing positive, we immediately asked the cast and crew who came into contact with the member to go into self-isolation,” the production said in a statement.
