Celebrated music executive Nota Baloyi is topping trends after he opened up about his divorce from Berita Khumalo during his podcast interview with Owamie Entertainment.

The now-viral interview has undoubtedly gained thousands of comments and reactions since it dropped online.

NOTA BALOYI OPENS UP ABOUT HIS DIVORCE FROM BERITA
Against the interview, fans were more than convinced that the star still loves Berita Khumalo, whom he didn’t wish to divorce.

 

During the interview, Nota made it known that getting divorced was one of his biggest failures since he had made vows with Berita and promised each other not to divorce.The music executive said, “I’m heartbroken that I divorced; it’s my biggest failure in my life.” However, Nota noted that he hoped things would improve even when separated.

He also said he never ran to the United States from South Africa, as alleged when news of his divorce made rounds.

Nota Baloyi revealed that Berita Khumalo drafted the budget for his stay in the US, and it was planned.

Nota Baloyi and his ex-wife Berita finalised their divorce earlier this year. The news of their divorce came barely a year after it was reported that the two were heading for a splitsville.

THEIR FALLOUT
The news of their fallout first made rounds in March 2023. Against the rumour mill, Berita confirmed the news to the media.

She made it known that their marriage was over, and a divorce was on the cards since they were legally married.

However, earlier this year, Nota Baloyi took to X to confirm that their divorce was finalised with a damning post.

He posted, “The lesson is to make sure she leaves with nothing of yours & loses half of everything she gained.

“Another lesson is to marry in your class. Bringing someone up out of poverty is like going to bed with a snake that is starving itself to build up the appetite to swallow you whole.”

Speaking about his divorce finalisation, in one of his interviews, Nota Baloyi made it known that the last thing he wanted to do was not to give up on his marriage.

This came as a shocker to many because his social media rants said otherwise.

“For me, the one thing I did not want to do is give up. Whatever goes down, at least let’s go down fighting.

“I still need to prove to myself that I am as principled as I want to be, and that’s what motivated me to do that. I gave her a hug, and I wished her the best,” he said.

Weeks after claiming that “We can’t have Nigerians compete” on behalf of South Africa regarding pageant hopeful Chidimma Adetshina, Gayton McKenzie has defended gold medallist Udeme Okon.

The Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture has congratulated the sprinter – whose father is Nigerian – after he won the 400m race in the U20 World Championships in Lema, Peru.

 

 

 

GAYTON MCKENZIE DEFENDS GOLD MEDALLIST?
As he has done with all the South African contestants, Gayton McKenzie congratulated Udeme Okon for winning a gold medal at the U20 World Championships.

He tweeted: “Gold everywhere. Well don,e Udeme Okon, for your great victory in the men’s 400m final.”

However, one tweep decided to test the waters when they brought up Udeme’s mixed parentage – a Nigerian father and a South African mother.

“He’s from Nigeria, Minister,” @golide_tsh85753 tweeted.

Gayton – known for his phrase “Abahambe” and opinions on illegal foreigners – was quick to respond.

He tweeted about Udeme Okon: “He is a South African, legally here, didn’t steal anyone’s identity, he is not involved in nonsense and contributes positively to South Africa. he is our golden boy”.

While some accepted Gayton’s stance, others questioned the Patriotic Alliance leader’s reasoning.

@majazztic: “You’ve created a context in which anyone with a foreign name has to be scrutinised. Kenny Kunene said, ‘We want South African names’. Are you having a change of heart? Is this genuine or selective?”

@XUFFLER: “No investigation, just assumptions?”

@LandryMutombo: “How do you know this? Did you write to Home Affairs for an investigation into his parents? What about his grandparents?”

@bunye_sibiya: “Double standard, Mr Minister, Udeme Okon’s name and surname are not native to South Africa. The Chidimma thing and how y’all handled it will be a problem for a long time to come.”

@iluvmzansi2: “I’m starting to doubt your patriotism”

Khanyi Mbau has faced significant backlash from South Africans, who’ve accused her of being obsessed with plastic surgery. Some have even shared images of the TV personality before she had professional work done on her face and body.

The posts come hours after the socialite revealed that she’d had another procedure done in her quest to maintain her youthful appearance.

Khanyi lives in Dubai with her boyfriend, Kudzai Mushonga, and is known for her love of plastic surgery and skin bleaching.

 

 

 

KHANYI MBAU CLAPS BACK AT CRITICISM
In an Instagram post, Khanyi Mbau vlogged about her experience undergoing another invasive plastic surgery operation.

This time around, it was a blepharoplasty – a procedure that tightens and removes loose skin around the eyes. She had also had a subnasal lift lift, which lifts and tightens the skin around the mouth and nose.

In another post, she revealed that she was in recovery but enjoying the “five-star treatment” of her medical clinic. She also took the opportunity to clap back at critics who claimed she was now “unrecognisable.”

One follower asked, “How will Capitec recognise you?” Khanyi responded, ” Investec knows my voice.” She also clapped back at another who claimed she would no longer resemble her passport image.
