CIZA ACCUSED OF CHEATING ON PREGNANT ANELE ZONDO
At the weekend, the alleged couple set tongues wagging on X (formerly Twitter) after blogger Musa Khawula claimed that Ciza is cheating on the 30-year-old rapper – who is currently pregnant with her first child.

Ciza, real name Nkululeko Nciza, is an Afropop musician. He is also the son of Gauteng ANC provincial secretary Thembinkosi “TK” Nciza and Mafikizolo songstress Nhlanhla Mafu (formerly Nhlanhla Nciza).

In a post on Sunday, Musa shared a video of the Adje singer walking out of The Leonardo Hotel in Sandton with a woman he is alleged to be cheating with.

Another blogger, Sanele Nkosi, further alleged that Ciza, 22, and Anele started dating in 2020.Responding to the claims on her X account, Anele said that they are false. The TV presenter denied that Ciza is the father of her unborn baby, or that they are romantically involved.

“Y’all r throwing stones at the wrong glass house [sic].”

In another post, he said: “Asijoli [We’re not dating] and he is NOT my BD [baby daddy]!”Last month, Anele announced that she was expecting her first baby. Sharing images from her pregnancy photoshoot, the Ingwe hitmaker said she knew when she found out she was pregnant that her life would change.

“Finding out I was expecting was the most shocking and unexpected news of my entire existence. I felt I couldn’t breathe. I knew my whole life would change. I didn’t know what to do.

“As soon as I heard my bae’bie’s heartbeat, I knew it was meant to be. This is what I’m meant to do. Plans are changing and life is changing.

“More tears were shed everyday because my life is changing. And I also was planning on telling my team but did not know how to. My family supported me from day one. They were like ‘you are getting into your 30s, perfect timing’.”

Legendaey Actor Ntate Jerry Phele joins Smoke & Mirrors – in a role named after himself. Veteran actor Jerry Phele expressed his modesty by stating that he doesn’t believe he has achieved enough in the acting industry to be deemed a legend of his time. Despite being widely recognized for his unforgettable portrayal of Mofokeng in the popular 90s sitcom Emzini Wezinsizwa on SABC 1, the 69-year-old actor insists that he has more work to do to earn the status of a legend truly.

 

 

 

 
With a remarkable acting career spanning nearly 40 years, Phele has taken on diverse roles, showcasing his versatility as an actor. From portraying a comedic character living in a hostel with his friends to embodying a profoundly religious man unwavering in his faith, Phele has demonstrated his ability to bring various characters to life. After a three-year absence from the screen, Phele is set to make his comeback on e.TV’s Smoke & Mirrors. He will portray a shady character, based on himself, who navigates through deceitful situations.

In 2021, Phele also starred in the second season of the drama series Abomama, where he portrayed Jonas, the caretaker of a church, showcasing his comedic talents in a different light.

He said,“As much as Jonas was there to guard and care for the church, he was staunch in his faith. He was full of hallelujahs and amens and would never do any wrong no matter what,” “Now, this new role of Jerry Phele is far different from Jonas. Jerry is a sketchy person who is very untruthful in his ways. “Yes, my character and I share the same name but he and I are not the same, not even an inch. This Jerry is hardcore with a twisted persona. I only realised the scammer he was after a few scenes… that was when I knew I had to protect the real me [inside] when I was acting as Jerry, the big-time scammer.”

Jerry has embraced humour throughout his acting career, notably as Morena in SABC2’s sitcom Skwizas, where he starred alongside acclaimed actors Lillian Dube and Tsholofelo Matshaba. With his 70th birthday approaching, Ntate Jerry expressed gratitude for continuing to receive acting opportunities, emphasizing that producers prioritize the quality of his performances over his age.

There is never a shortage of claims about the love life and relationships of local actress and media personality Minnie Dlamini, and she has had to respond to them now and then.

But that has not changed much the reality that she faces about her life and relationships. people still talk. The latest claim about her apparently got to her nerves and she responded accordingly, indicating legal action might be taken in the case.

 

 

 
How did it all happen?

In a recent post on his official X account, the controversial blogger reported about the death of a former DStv Executive, Nkateko Mabaso, noting that Minnie Dlamini cheated on her ex-husband Quinton Jones with him.

Minnie Dlamini denies the claims he cheated on her ex-husband with Mabaso, however. The claim actually upset her and she made it clear that such never happened. She described Musa as being disrespectful to Mabaso’s memory while also noting that Musa had previously claimed that she cheated with businessman Edwin Sodi.

JIMMY NEVIS UNMASKED ON ‘THE MASKED SINGER SOUTH AFRICA’
Singer Jimmy Nevis was unmasked as Boo mbox on The Masked Singer South Africa semi-final this past weekend. The show has been running for the last twelve weeks with many electrifying performances. This week, only J’Something was able to hit the nail on the head with the singer.

 
Somizi Mhlongo, Sithelo Shozi and Skhumba Hlophe all had their wires crossed, identifying the high-voltage masked performer as Idols Season nine runner-up Brenden Praise.

Although Boombox bamboozled the entire “forensic team” during his show debut, J’Something knew it was Jimmy the second time Boombox set the stage alight. From then onwards, J’Something built his Boombox/Jimmy Nevis case round after round until the live-wire masked singer’s journey identity was finally unplugged in the semi-final.

Boombox blasted onto The Masked Singer South Africa with a baffling clue package and powerful, perfectly balanced rendition of John Legend’s Tonight.

Boombox introduced himself in a video shot in a grunge-style environment with colourful graffiti and the show’s wacky “men and ladies” spray-painting some slogans. That’s when Boombox revealed he had skyscraper dreams before lifting people off their seats, amplifying this clue by enrolling a massive construction building plan. The detectives also heard that despite mostly keeping to himself, Bo ombox showed off when it was time to show up.

And he did! J’Something instantly knew from how he belted out the song that Boombox was a muso. However, the construction clue and graffiti put J’Something on the wrong track. The Micasa singer then locked in comedian Donovan Goliath, who climbed the corporate ladder as an advertising art director before getting people off their seats with his jokes.

Sithelo, Skhumba and Somizi realised their first impressions of Boombox were off the mark. Despite his swag and the sound mixer on his shoulders, they concluded that Boombox was not a DJ but an introvert with an amazing voice who loved music. Sithelo chose actor Loyiso McDonald.

Somizi picked investigative journalist McFarlane Moleli, and Skhumba put forward Brenden Praise, the name Somizi and Sithelo would later latch onto.

THE FINALE OF THE COMPETITION
J’Something caught Boombox’s frequency the second time he hit the stage. While performing Hold On by Drake, J’Something shouted confidently, “I know this guy!” Being a musician himself, he recognised Boombox’s distinct tone, and from this moment onwards, all of Bo ombox’s clues ticked J’Something’s Jimmy Nevis boxes.

However, Skhumba and Sithelo’s analysis of the same clues pointed to Brenden Praise, and they sang from this same hymn sheet from this round until the end.

“I’m such a fan of this guy because of his tone, and his ability to write incredible music that even shines through a mask,” said J’Something.

The singer described his experience on The Masked Singer South Africa as nothing but fun.

“I mean, who doesn’t want to dress up in strange costumes and dance like you’re dancing in your room and nobody can see you?” he said.

There are still four remaining cloak-and-dagger singers who will battle it out to win the Golden Mask trophy: Blue Crane, Owl, Giraffe and Gold. Of course this means all the masks will be revealed on The Masked Singer South Africa finale.

The finale will be screened on S3 (formerly SABC3) on Saturday, 29 June at 18:30. There will be a rebroadcast on SABC 1 on Thursdays at 21:00 and S3 on Fridays at 18:00.

Ann Malinga, the widow of musician and producer Robbie Malinga has threatened to take legal action against the now-defunct TS Record and Universal Music. Ann now demands all the recording agreements and statements between her late husband, Universal Music, and TS Records. She says she needs all the documents to round up Robbie’s estate.That she wants the recording agreements spanning from 2013 to 2020. The frustrated Ann says she has been pursuing documents from the two companies since her husband’s passing six years ago. “I have been requesting for these documents since January 2018, just a few days after Robbie’s burial,” Ann says. She now suspects that there is something dodgy that has happened and that, that is probably the reason why she is being sent from pillar to post. “There is more to this than meets the eye.

 

 

 

 
The mother of two says this process is delaying rounding up her late husband’s estate and holding her back from moving on with her life. Her lawyer, Bongani Mdakane from Mdakane Attorneys Inc. wrote to Manusha Sarawan of Universal Music on May 17, to get answers on the recording agreements after she alleges TS Records “blue ticked” her. The letter states: “Our client’s instructions are that, during Mr Malinga’s lifetime, he entered into a recording agreement with you (“The Recording Agreement”).Furthermore, Mr Malinga participated extensively as a producer, performer and/or composer in recordings owned and/or controlled by TS Records (“TS Recordings”). The letter continues: “Kindly furnish us with a copy of the Recording Agreement with all its iterations (if any) as our client is not in possession of same. “Additionally, we requested all agreements for all TS-owned Recordings that our client participated in as a producer, performer and/or composer.
