SBU MPISANE IS PROUD OF ANDILE
Mpisane shares musician and footballer son, Andile Mpisane, with Royal AM boss Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize. He also has daughter, Sbahle Mpisane, whose mother is not known to the public.

Last week, Andile and his wife Tamia Mpisane announced they are expecting their second baby. This will be the 22-year-old Royal AM chairman’s fourth baby as he has two daughters with Masked Singer SA detective Sithelo Shozi. He also has a one-year-old daughter with his wife.

 

Mpisane told Zimoja that he was very proud of Andile.

“I’m glad to hear have passed the baton of hope. It excites me that I’ve given birth to a man. He will continue with the Mpisane legacy of rising above all odds, audaciously.”

He continued: “I’m a crying-free man because their mother took my kids away from me. Out of it all, I’m happy that I gave birth to a man.”

ANDILE’S STRAINED RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FATHER
MaMkhize and Mpisane seperated in 2018.

During their messy divorce process, which has reportedly not been finalised, a dispute over the ownership of the Royal Eagles occurred, leading MaMkhize to resign as part-owner of the club — something Andile was not happy about according to his 2019 Instagram post about his strained relationship with his father.

In the post, Andile called his father a liar and cheater who had fathered four children whilst married to his mother.

“Yesterday, I bid farewell to the legacy uMa had set up for me. Yesterday I truly felt pain for my mother, who had endured 25 years of marriage with a sucker of her blood. As bitter as it was to let go of ROYAL EAGLES FOOTBALL CLUB, it was worth more to maintain the carefree spirit, with no anxiety I have seen on uMa since the separation from her husband.

“He is her husband, because he won’t grant her the wish to be divorced of him. He continues to slander her through media and gossip, yet she still maintains his life as he lives in HER property. Not paying a single utility bill.

“I call him her husband and not my father because a father would not go on 2 years without speaking to his son. A father would not intentionally LIE & STEAL what was built for his son,” Andile said in part in his explosive Instagram post about his father.

Media personality Bonang Matheba returns to host the Miss SA 2023 finale. She hosted the pageant back in 2018 and in 2019 when Zozibini Tunzi took the title and was later crowned Miss Universe.

This year Queen B has played an even bigger role, as a judge on the Miss SA television series Crown Chasers, which was broadcast for five weeks on SABC 3. Her House of BNG Cap Classique is also the official Miss South Africa celebration sponsor.

QUEEN B: ‘I AM VERY EXCITED’
Bonang is excited to be hosting the pageant again this year, which marks her third time.

“The Miss South Africa pageant is one of the biggest television productions in the country, so I am very excited to be hosting the show for a third time. It is an institution in South Africa and I am honoured. I remember gathering around the television when I was growing up and watching people like Basetsana Kumalo and Peggy Sue Khumalo taking the title; I remember where I was,” she said according to a press release.

“To grow from a judge to a host and one of the sponsors of this event is an absolute honour. I love that I can showcase my talent and be part of it. The fact that is airing on the SABC means that it is accessible to all people and that’s very important to me,” she continued.

The media personality also noted the show has changed since her involvement nearly a decade ago: “The growth of the pageant in terms of its footprint internationally has been impressive. People around the world, who are interested in pageantry, realise South Africa is a force to be reckoned with in global competitions. It has also evolved and is representative of where women are now, how they feel and what they want to achieve.”

Make use of surge protection: Electric surges are one of the biggest causes of damage to equipment during a power outage. Installing a surge protection device can help minimise some damage in unforeseen situations. Have a surge protection device fitted to your electrical distribution board or at the power outlet to the electronic device.
Ensure that your alarm system is working and the backup battery is fully functional to provide power to the system in the event of load shedding.
Spare torch or headlamp: Keep a torch in your car if you arrive home at night during a power outage. Most smartphones have built-in torch or torch apps, which come in handy during unexpected power outages.
Emergency contact information: Save emergency contact information on your phone, but also keep a paper copy safe and accessible. This should include contacts for emergency services such as the fire department, police, and/or medical services. Also include the contact information of friends and/or family along with insurance information.
Charge your cell phone, laptop, and tablet: Ensure your cellphone, laptop, and tablet devices are fully charged ahead of scheduled blackouts. Be sure to charge them again as soon as possible after the power returns. It’s also a good idea to have an emergency phone charger (like a power bank) close by. This comes in handy during extended power outages.
Gas for cooking and lighting: Get a small LP gas bottle and lamp. It gives good quality lighting for a large area and can also be used for cooking and boiling water. It’s a good idea to keep hot water in a thermal flask so that you can make hot drinks. Also, consider preparing meals be
