Former Reality Star Sangoma Prudence Magagula Cleared Of Fraud Charges Following Her Arrest. Reality shows have now spread their focus from only just following celebrities but to also exploring worlds that are of interest to the public such as following a group of female practising traditional healers. Popular Mzansi Magic reality show Izangoma Zodumo attracted a lot of attention on social media and has become a favourite for many people.

Former cast member Thandiwe Prudence Magagula found herself in some hot water after she was charged with fraud by one of her associates who claims to have received no help despite having payed Prudence. Thandiwe known as Mkhulu Ngwemabala was reportedly supposed to appear at the Protea Magistrates Court on Thursday but paid the money back and her case was withdrawn.

According to the Daily Sun publication, the complainant revealed that for her own health reasons, she would rather settle for a R29 000 payout and withdraw the case. The 43 year old woman claims that the money she gave Prudence was well over R29 000 but the problem was she didn’t have receipts for some of the items.

“I said to her i’ll leave the small amounts if she can pay R20 000” she said.

Although her reasons for not completing the training and leaving the initiation school are not clear, the women reportedly opened a case for services that were not rendered. Amongst the items that she had to pay for, the complainant had to pay a R20 000 initiation fee, R4 500 for registration and other required items.

The woman revealed that she one day woke up paralyzed from the waist down and needed to know why. She claims but traveling has been a big hassle for her, otherwise if she was able to walk she would pursue the case. This all began in March when she fell ill and went to Mkhulu Ngwemabala to seek answers.

Black Twitter Reacts To Americans Dragging Anele Mdoda Over Kelly Rowland Comment. There has been a very hectic plot twits when it comes to Anele’s fate on twitter. This follows her comment about Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland not looking as flattering without makeup as opposed to when she does. South African profusely disagreed with Anele and have since been dragging her on twitter for her comment since then.

Every time Kelly Rowland posted a picture on social media, social media would always make sure to drag Anele into the drama until Americans caught on to the tea. Yesterday, social media was wilding after a post by Kelly where she wore the same swimsuit that Anele wore on her vacation in the Maldives. Mzansi is convinced that Rowland was sending Anele a message with the post, following her uncalled for comment about her looks.

That was until American twitter caught on to the smoke that Anele was getting, and rallied together to defend one of their own. American tweeps have been circulating both pictures of Anele and Kelly rocking the same swimsuit, sharing how Anele called the Motivation hitmaker ugly and was dealt with accordingly by Kelly. Unfortunately that is not where the dragging ended as the trolls soon assembled to bully and body shame Anele about her weight and looks.

A few tweeps went the extra mile claiming that Anele has a striking resemblance with Black-ish actor Anthony Anderson. A few Anele supporters including Pearl Thusi pointed out how unnecessary body shaming is no matter what the action was but most people in Mzansi have decided to take their silence and watch Mdoda catch all the smoke from American twitter.

The Bala Family singing gene is STRONG ya heard? (Lord knows my people can’t sing for shit )Super proud of Miss P for giving this her all. To the stars and beyond baby” she wrote.

Today, we are at peace knowing that she rests with the knowledge that she was loved and appreciated immensely. Thank you so much to everyone that has extended a hand during this incredibly difficult time. I may not be able to answer every call, text or DM – but I see them, and I’m appreciative. May God continue to bless you all and watch over your loved ones. Hamba kahle Njinji. Yengwayo. Our hearts are in shambles, but we remain as strong as you were.

“They Are Boring AF” Ntsiki Mazwai Claims Idols SA Judges Are Not There On Merit. GBV activist and businesswoman Ntsiki Mazwai has been unapologetically vocal about how African’s have become westernized are now yes men to white people. Mazwai is convinced that our local celebrities such as DJ Zinhle, Nomzamo Mbatha and more have sold out to white people in the name of having multiple business ventures and being successful.

Mazwai took to twitter to vocalize her opinion about the changes that have occurred on the Idols SA judging panel. This follows the complaints by viewers on the show who have stopped watching it, claiming that without Somizi it is just plain boring. The show has reportedly lost a lot of rating since Somizi stepped down as a judge on the show.

Social media users have since been campaigning on twitter to try and get the veteran star back on the show however, the popular competition has already made up its minds. Viewers were not playing around when they vowed to stop watching the show as the ratings have reportedly hit rock bottom since Somizi’s departure from the show, leaving Unathi and Randal on the panel..

Hip hop critic Lavida Nota commented on the show claiming of that the only chance of reviving the show is to bring Cassper Nyovest on board. Nota seems to have confidence that Nyovest has the power to not only up the rating but he can also entertain people. What makes this something to think about is that Cassper has a clean record and is not a sex offender or predator.

Ntsiki seems to be in full agreement with Nota on how the show needs to go back to the drawing board and she also agree’s with social media users about the show being boring. Ntsiki thinks all the judges need to be replaced by the show not only because they are a complete yawn fest but also because they are not deserving of the accolade.

The poet claims that the judges got to where they are because of their close association with white people and nothing more than that.

“I agree with Nota. Replace ALL the idols judges. They are boring AF and are not there on merit but their close relations with whites” she wrote.

Lamiez Holworthy Throws Shade At “Influencer” For catching Smoke On Twitter Following A Rude Encounter. We all are very familiar with saying what goes around comes back around and it seems like Lamiez Holworthy is quite pleased with how things have turned out for her and a certain someone. When Lamiez was still coming up in the industry, she remembers being looked down at by someone who is considered to be an influencer.

Lamiez did not get too much in to it but she did share a tweet that has now been deleted about two “influencers” discredited her to a brand manger on her first big campaign. These nameless influencers not only asked the manager who Lamiez was but also had the audacity to makes a snarky comment about hiring nobody’s.

“Y’all will just book anyone” the influencers said.

The DJ is now witnessing karma do what she does best which is biting back even harder. The Live Amp host added on her tweet that years later , one of the two “influencers” is catching smoke on social media for “talking rubbish” whilst the other one remains a nobody.

It seems like we are not the only ones who suspect that she is talking about Tshepi Vundla following the smoke that she has been catching on twitter over a comment made on a clip that has now gone viral.

The viral clip from the On The Table podcast saw Tshepi and three other ladies on the panel indulge in a conversation about dating. Everything was going well until they critisized women who are broke in relationships but SBWL things that they can’t afford. Vundla posed a question of why these women don’t buy these things themselves or ask their parents.

Twitter investigators also dug up some old dirt on Tshepi where she not only fat shamed plus sized people but also expressed her disdain for them. The mother of one has now issued a lengthy apology statement to her followers about her old tweets and offensive statement claiming that she has since grown as a woman and a mother.

My head is held high. My kids will know that – daddy dreamt, daddy believed, daddy acted, daddy soldiered-on and daddy achieved!What a journey. What a chapter. What an era.Time may pass – but the MEMORIES will remain forever. And that’s how we end it. This is the END! Thank you Johannesburg! Thank you GP” he wrote.
