THE nomination of the late Soweto-born actor Mpho Sebeng at the 11th Annual Simon Mabhunu Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards has sparked considerable confusion.

The awards, which are dedicated to recognising and honouring KZN talents, unexpectedly included Sebeng, who tragically died in a car accident.

 

 

 

 
He was posthumously nominated for Best Actor for Film for his role in “Ingoma,” alongside Kwenzo Ngcobo, Masoja Msiza, and Siyabonga Shibe.

The awards were officially launched in Durban on Thursday, 13 June, with the nominees announced for the ceremony scheduled at The Playhouse in Durban on 20 July.Ayanda Mthiyane, PR and event dpecialist at KZN Tourism and Film, addressed the oversight to Daily Sun.

“It has been brought to our attention that Mpho Sebeng, may his soul rest in peace, was not a resident of KZN. Consequently, his name has been withdrawn from the top four nominees. While this oversight is regrettable, the list of nominees for this category remains robust with three actors,” she explained.

Bass guitarist Philani Ngidi diesMthiyane further highlighted that the Simon Mabhunu Sabela KZN Film and TV Awards aim to celebrate and recognise the outstanding achievements of filmmakers and television professionals in KZN.

“These awards provide a platform to showcase the local film and television industry’s diverse talent, creativity, and innovation,” she said.

The nominees represent the diverse and dynamic talent pool in KZN.

Mpho’s sister, Lebogang Sebeng, said the family doesn’t wish to comment on the matter.

Zahara’s sisters are homeless after the new owner of Zahara’s house kicked them out and threatened to fiIe a case of vandaIism and maIicious damage to property.
The late singer Zahara’s sisters are said to have destroyed her home, prompting the new owner of the Afro-pop sensation’s house to threaten to file a case of vandalism and malicious damage to property.

The sisters, Lumka Mkutukana and Bandezwa Mkutukana-Febana, also left some of the singer’s clothes, including dresses, shoes, bags, hats, and belts, scattered all over the house when they vacated the home on Friday night.

 
Zahara passed away at a private hospital in Johannesburg on December 11, 2023. This after she spent almost three weeks in the intensive care unit.

She was laid to rest in East London on December 23.The sisters had occupied the singer’s home in Little Falls, Roodepoort, since her passing and allegedly left the house in an inhabitable state when they were evicted last week.

They allegedly trashed the residence, stole the built-in stove. They also allegedly removed the ceiling and the wooden double garage doors, broke the front gate, and left poo in the pool.

An agent, who asked not to be identified, told Sunday World that the new owner of the home has asked that a criminal case be opened against the siblings for the alleged mess they have left behind.
Damage runs into thousands of rands
“They have caused damage that easily amounts to over R300 000,” said the agent.

“They stayed at this house rent-free for over six months. What kind of thanks is this? Who does this to someone else’s property?”

In pictures that Sunday World has seen, the house looks like it was ransacked by thieves, with the bathroom cabinet doors broken and missing, kitchen units pulled out, blinds falling off, and the garage ceiling pulled out.

The agent added that the late musician’s sisters initially left the house during the day on Friday. But they came back at night to allegedly trash it before leaving again.

“It makes no sense what they did there. It just screams of anger and ungratefulness. The owner is within his rights to open a case and is currently weighing his options,” the agent said.

When contacted for comment, the sisters’ phones rang unanswered.
Plan to sell the house
Sunday World reported on Friday that the Mkutukana sisters were in the process of selling Zahara’s furniture to the highest bidder through WhatsApp messages.

Oyama Dyosiba, Zahara’s cousin and former manager, declined to comment on the situation. Dyosiba claimed that the family had pushed him out of Zahara’s affairs soon after her passing.

Zahara’s husband, Mpho Xaba, informed Sunday World that he had been cut off from any discussions regarding his late wife.

Xaba added that he does not know where the musician was buried, despite still paying for her medical bills.

He claimed that the family had mistreated him. This is why he had gone to counselling to get well during his time of grief.
