Pic! Gugu Gumede Announces She Is Expecting Her First Child. Last year we saw a number of celebs making pregnancy announcements on social media and the celebrity baby boom is still continuing. Another celeb has let the cat out of the bag on social media about the bundle of joy that will be arriving soon and her followers couldn’t be more excited about the news.

Taking to Instagram, Uzalo actress Gugu shared the exciting news of her pregnancy. This is Gugu’s first bundle of joy and her caption shares just how excited she is. Gugu quoted a bible verse from Samuel 1: 27-28, sharing how God has blessed her with her true heart’s desire. The actress who recently lost her mother revealed how people are often surprised by her strength and how she had the will to continue after her mother’s passing.

The actress shares that she drew her strength from her little bundle of joy who was present while she was burying her mother last year.

“1 Samuel 1: 27-28 “For this child I prayed, and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him”I have often been asked where I got the strength to continue after my mother’s passing – I got it from my unborn child. At her funeral, as I stood at the podium and spoke on my queen’s behalf, I was not alone. The strongest heart was beating inside of me, reviving me. I am alive today because of it.“

Gugu also poured out her heart expressing how her baby is her mother’s answered prayers and she was very excited to meet them. Unfortunately, even though that won’t be happening anymore, she is confident that her mother is with her in the spiritual realm. Gugu continued saying the baby has already changed her for the better and is a testament of her mother and God’s love.

“My baby, you are your grandmother’s answered prayer. She was so excited to meet you; even though you did not get to meet in the physical realm, I know she is currently holding you in the spiritual. My darling, every move and every kick of yours within me is a testament of both God and my mother’s continued love for me. You have changed me in ways that are inexplicable. We cannot wait to meet you.” she wrote.

Fans and followers flooded the post with congratulatory messages and wished her all the best on her brand new journey of motherhood. Last year, the Daily Sun publication reported that National Freedom Party president Zanele KaMagwaza Msibi who is the mother to the actress has passed away. Msibi suffered a fatal cardiac arrest which was brought on by COVID-19 related complications. Msibi was admitted to Umhlanga hospital in Durban where she stayed for two weeks until her passing.

Congratulations to the actress!!

YouTuber Rea Gopane Responds To Bonang Matheba‘s “Good Luck” Tweet. The plot is thickening in the Bonang and Rea Gopane saga after B let be known that she has not forgotten. The TV Personality took to twitter recently to wish the YouTuber good luck because the courts are open. Matheba stated that she is ready to rock which can only mean that she is moving ahead with her lawsuit.

The YouTuber landed himself in Queen B’s bad books last year after he claimed that she introduced her ex-boyfriend, rapper AKA, to cocaine in one of his episodes. Bonang then served Gopane with a 500K defamatory lawsuit, and a letter of demand instructing him to retract his statements and issue an apology across all social media platforms.

Rea did as he was instructed and released a video publicly apologizing to Bonang and for the defamatory allegations he made about her on the podcast. Gopane then added fuel to the fire by further trash-talking Bonang for taking action through her lawyer’s, claiming Matheba has even gone as far as sending the police to serve him with court summons at his home

Gopane claimed that Bonang will not be getting a single penny from him and should rather focus on securing her bag and the company that doesn’t belong to her. Rea publicly said that Bonang is not as smart as she thinks but rather manipulates her fans into doing the dirty work for her. Bonang is clearly set on teaching Gopane a lesson and has lawyered up for the action.

Gopane who has been as cool as a cucumber throughout Bonang’s responses still couldn’t be phased by Matheba’s threats, claiming that she can keep her good luck because he doesn’t need it. The YouTuber is convinced that B is mad that she took a shot and missed last year with her lawsuit and he is ready for her next move.

“The incomparable Bonang Matheba is still mad she took a shot and missed last year. Thanks but I don’t need your good luck. See you soon, mom.”

Pearl Thusi Calls Out Metro FM For Being Toxic Following Dineo Ranaka Suspension Drama. There’s nothing we love more than watching sisters stick together through the hard times, and Pearl Thusi is showing Dineo Ranaka all the love right now. This was after it was confirmed that Dineo Ranaka was suspended from her show by Metro FM for doing the Umlando Challenge.

Ranaka was suspended from her show on Metro FM The Bridge for misconduct after she filmed herself dancing on top of office furniture and the premises at the SABC studios last week. Not only is Dineo trending on twitter but social media users have since reacted to the news and think the station is being a little extra. Tweeps say that the station should have just let her off with a warning because the suspension is a little bit on the extreme side.

One person who is showing Dineo support is former Metro FM radio host Pearl Thusi. The actress who has worked at the station is no stranger to Metro FM’s unpleasant working environment and is happy to have left. Pearl who used to co-host the Saturday Breakfast show with Phat Joe claims that leaving the station was the best decision she has ever made. The actress claims it did wonders for her self-esteem and allowed her to grow as a creative.

She also showed her support for Dineo Ranaka and hoped she was holding up okay during the intense period with the popular station.

“One of the best things I ever did for my self-esteem and growth was to leave metro fm. It’s one of the decisions I’m proudest of. I hope Dineo is ok” she wrote.

Pearl Thusi‘s disdain for the station is not exactly a secret and has said she would rather die than return to Metro FM. The Queen Sono actress still has bad blood with the station after listeners complained to Metro FM about Pearl and Phat Joe’s controversial comments on the show. This led to the two being suspended from the station and Pearl has since sworn them as her enemy.

This Is Why Dineo Ranaka Has Been Suspended From Her Show On Metro FM. If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard Dineo Ranaka on her show The Bridge on Metro FM, well that is because she has been suspended. Reports have confirmed that Ranaka has indeed been put on ice by the station after sharing a video of herself doing the #Umlando Challenge in the studio.

Reality star and businesswoman Dineo Ranaka has allegedly been suspended from her show on Metro FM for misconduct after she filmed herself dancing on top of office furniture at the SABC studios last week. The Umlando dance challenge took centre stage last week and had people all over Mzansi shaking their hips. The challenge was made strictly for men and was off-limits for the ladies but that didn’t stop women like Dineo Ranaka from participating in the fun.

“@ladydu_sa Challenge accepted! asendzeni UMLANDO guys!!!! #umlandochallenge” she wrote.

After Amapiano vocalist Lady Du challenged the ladies to take part in the hip-shaking challenge, Ranaka boldly accepted the challenge and shared the video on social media straight after. The video saw the Metro FM radio host doing the challenge all around her work premises and that clearly didn’t sit well with the authorities.

Ranaka’s video received mixed reactions on social media with some users mocking her saying it looks like she’s washing blankets with the dance moves while Dineo stans and celebrity friends complimented her unbelievable hip action but also sang praises for her slender, toned back.

Not only is Dineo trending on twitter but social media users have since reacted to the news and think the station is being a little extra. Tweeps say that the station should have just let her off with a warning because the suspension is a little bit on the extreme side.

Black Twitter Reacts To MacG’s Cringy Question To Ari Lennox. We all know and love MacG for his unfiltered ways but sometimes it can get a little bit too cringy. Fans of the YouTuber a prone to him asking local celebs about their sexual encounter with other celebs on his show Podcast And Chill but this time he might have taken it a bit to far and offended his recent guest.

This was after MacG had a sit-down interview with award-winning American singer Ari Lennox to speak about her amazing career and other various topics. Of course, it wouldn’t be a MacG interview if he didn’t slide his favourite question in. The podcaster asked the singer if “someone was f*cking her good right now?”. Ari not only seemed shocked by the question but also seemed quite offended.

The singer tried to deflect the question by saying she doesn’t do such things and questioned the podcaster’s delivery of the question. After asking why he would ask that question, MacG said he was simply quoting her lyric from her song. It turns out that the singer did say the above in her song and she also recalled which song it was

The clip has since been making rounds on twitter and it seems like the comments are split. One half which consists of mostly ladies are disgusted by MacG and shared how annoying his sex talk and sexual innuendoes have become and desperately need him to stop. MacG stans have however come to the YouTuber’s defence stating that women are hypocrites for sing singing about things they get offended by when asked should stop watching him if they can’t handle his bluntness.

Tamia Mpisane Celebrates One Month Of Marriage To Husband Andile. Influencer Tamia Mpisane and her hubby Andile Mpisane have been enjoying married life together. After the masses witnessed Andile walk down the aisle with a woman who is not his baby mama Sithelo, their marriage was the talk of the town. Even though their union has been questioned by many, the pair are ignoring the haters and living their best lives.

Taking to Instagram, Tamia celebrated her one-month wedding anniversary and ten months of being together with Andile. It seems like the pair were seeing one another while Andile was still with baby mama Sithelo but that is a story for another day. It’s no secret that Andile has had a few cheating allegations leveled against him which he has not responded to.

“ And 10 months later … Happy one month of marriage.” she wrote.

Proud mother-in-law reality star and actress Shauwn Mkhize also congratulated the newlywed couple and wished them a happy anniversary and a blessed union.

“The most important day of my life. Nkulunkulu ngiyabonga (thank you God) ngiyazithoba (I am humbled) my life has completely changed and affected abaningi (a lot of people). Dankie! Happy 1st month anniversary in marriage.”

Andile and Tamia Mpisane recently went to Cape Town for their honeymoon after having a fancy family Christmas day celebration. The newlyweds were joined by close friends Shaun Stylist and Anele Ngema on the trip but they did, however, have some quality time alone. Tamia did of course serve followers amazing vacation looks on Instagram and the couple looked amazing on the trip.

Last year in November, Andile had the streets of social media buzzing after gifting the mother of his two kids Sithelo Shozi with a brand new BMW.

The Mpisane family seem to have now completely cut Shozi off as Andile allegedly decided to take back the BMW that he had gifted Shozi a few months ago. Tweeps were not only livid by Andile re-claiming his gift back but are suspecting that Andile’s mommy dearest MaMkhize is the puppet master behind the entire show. Despite the drama, we quite like the couple and think they make a cute couple.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!!

Did Bonang Matheba Reignite Her Feud With YouTuber Rea Gopane? They say a person should forgive and forget when they have been crossed by someone but Queen B doesn’t play those games.

Gopane also alleged that the media icon is responsible for introducing her ex-boyfriend AKA to cocaine.

Musa Mthombeni Shares His Vision Of An Ideal Home In Celebration Of His 5 Month Wedding Anniversary. Some might argue that he’s a love-sick puppy but we say if it’s not that Dr. Musa Mthombeni and Liesl kind of love then throw the whole relationship away. The couple is still going very strong and are celebrating another milestone in their marriage.

Monthiversary’s recently became a thing after Musa tied the knot with the love of his life Liesl Laurie and every month the couple makes it a point to celebrate their union. The newlyweds recently passed the 5-month mark and Musa is already yearning for a home with a white picket fence and kids. Taking to Instagram, Musa celebrated the day with a post sharing what his ideal home would be like.

According to the doctor, in his mind when he comes home he sees their kids running up to him to greet him after a long day at work then he walks over to his beautiful wife Liesl and gives her a mind-blowing kiss. The imaginary children are of course grossed out by their parents kissing and they all laugh together like a cute family on a TV show.

“Happy 5 months married today with my baby @liesllaurie. I still can’t believe we’re married. WILD!!!! Like I come home and say “honey, I’m home” and the theoretical child say “yay daddy’s home” and they run up to me for a hug and I pick them up and kiss them. Then I walk up to you and say “hello beautiful wife” and you say “hello sexy husband” and then we kiss and the theoretical children say “Eeuw mommy and daddy. That’s disgusting ”Then we smile and laugh together like a cute little family” he wrote.

Musa’s followers couldn’t help but swoon over the heartfelt post, sharing how Liesl is lucky to have bagged a romantic like Musa, and we would definitely agree.

Watch! Veteran Actor Patrick Shai Apologizes To Cassper Nyovest After Insulting His Mother In Viral Video. Celebrity feuds have become a thing in Mzansi and we must say that they are quite entertaining. Award-winning rapper Cassper Nyovest has had his fair share of celeb clashes with the likes of AKA, Prince Kaybee, and more recently local YouTuber Slik Talk.

Cassper has been craving a celebrity boxing match and has challenged quite a few people a few rounds in the ring. More recently the rapper went head to head with notorious YouTuber Slik Talk for a R100K prize and let’s just say that Cassper taught him a huge lesson. The rapper is now set to fight Naak Musiq on April 8th at Sun City and the trash talk between the two has been crazy.

The hype around the fight has been at an all-time high and we guess that has made other celebs want in on the action. Veteran actor Patrick Shai shocked the masses after a video of him made the rounds where he is heard challenging the rapper to a fight, claiming that he wants to beat him up before he takes his final breath.

The actor continued to state that he wants it written on his tombstone that he is the old man who kicked Cassper Nyovest’s a*s and continued to call him a son of a b*tch.

After the video went viral and raised many eyebrows, the actor has come out with another video to apologize to the rapper for using such profane language. He also apologized from “the bottom of his heart” for speaking ill of the rapper’s mother claiming even though the challenge was ideal, it had been ruined by his delivery. He added once again that he was deeply sorry for insulting his mother and he should have known better than doing such.

Cassper Nyovest has responded to Shai’s video claiming that the whole situation is just straight-up weird and highlighted how people always drag his name all for the sake of clout. Social media users are shook and confused why an actor with a huge legacy like his would kill his career with a tasteless stunt like that.

But why Bab’ Patrick?

Lebo Keswa Arrested Following Wife Letoya Makhene’s Sexual Assault Incident. People can be very weird and actress Letoya Makhene and wife Lebo Keswa have met their fair share of weirdos. It was reported that Keswa was recently arrested after she allegedly vandalized belongings at a business property and apparently she was acting rather aggressively. It turns out that there was a lot more to the story and finally the tea has been spilled.

The Sunday World publication reported that the drama began after Makhene was allegedly touched inappropriately by a foreign national (Nigerian) on her private parts. The man was working with a woman who first approached them on his behalf.

Makhene has since opened a case of sexual harassment against the accused at the Midrand Police Station which states that she was approached by a woman, who owns a bakery in Midrand. The businesswoman asked her if she and Keswa were open to having group sex. After rejecting the woman’s advances, she went and introduced them to a homophobic Nigerian man who told her to stop having relations with a woman.

This obviously angered Letoya and she told her wife Lebo about the incident. Keswa took matters into her own hands and went to confront the man and things went all the way left. Lebo apparently tried to call the police to handle the situation but couldn’t do so because her phone battery had died.

“The Nigerian guy touched her private parts and this pissed her off. She then told Keswa who confronted the guy and they started attacking her. She then retaliated in self-defence “ a police source said.

The businesswoman has opened a counter case of malicious damage to property against Keswa at the Midrand Police Station alleging that Keswa damaged valuables in her bakery without any justification.

Unathi Reportedly Takes A Break As A Judge On SA Idols. South African Idols seems to be making a few changes to the competition this coming season after it was reported that Somizi would be making a comeback as a guest judge on the show. While fans of the show seemed to be pleased by the news, we are saddened that Unathi will reportedly be taking some time away from the show.

It was revealed by The City Press that Unathi Nkayi will not be returning as a judge on the upcoming season 18 of the competition. Sources close to Idols SA have revealed that Nkayi was rather axed from the show and is not taking a break. Reasons behind her termination have not yet been confirmed however, sources alleged that her tiff with Sizwe Dhlomo might have been what influenced the decision.

According to reports, Unathi’s “break” will take place during the return of fan favourite Somizi Mhlongo who was also booted from the show during season 17 last year. In November of last year, the streets of social media were in a frenzy following the axing of SA Idols judge Unathi by Kaya FM. It was confirmed that Unathi had been fired “effective immediately” from the station after a verbal conflict with Sizwe Dhlomo which ended very ugly.

The altercation started from when Unathi complained about Sizwe’s tardiness which affected how she delivered the highlight of the upcoming show. According to sources, Nkayi reported Dhlomo to authorities for  “reputation damage”. The source also alleged that a heated argument between the two broke out following Nkayi’s accusations against Dhlomo’s late coming which affected her handing over the show.

After a thorough investigation, Unathi’s claims were found to be false and she was, unfortunately, let go from the station. After Unathi’s departure from Idols SA was reported, the masses on twitter seemed to have quite the opinion about it. According to tweeps, Unathi got a taste of her own medicine and they are actually quite happy that Som Som is making a fabulous comeback to the small screen.

Hectic!!

Somizi Reportedly Set To Make A Return On The New Season Of SA Idols. Somizi’s career may have hit a bit of a rough patch last year but the TV mogul is back with a bang. The reality star was booted from Idols SA as a judge following abuse allegations that were made against him by his estranged husband Mohale Motaung. After the abuse allegations made headlines, the masses called for the seasoned judge to be removed from his working gigs as other alleged abusers have been made to do in the past as well.

A dooming audio clip from an interview between Mohale and producers of Living The Dream With Somizi reality show made the rounds where Mohale revealed in detail how the abuse started at the beginning of their relationship. Things went south even further when Mohale released a statement confirming the abuse allegations and detailed the number of times that Somizi physically harmed him.

It was then reported that the popular singing competition had decided to officially cut ties with Somizi and relieved him from his duties as a judge during season 17 of SA Idols. He was also temporarily let go as a radio personality on Metro FM as well. Following his removal, it didn’t take long for the ratings of the annual singing competition to plummet as viewers claimed the show was boring without Somizi’s larger-than-life personality.

The people of twitter have been begging for Somizi’s return to the show and it looks like their prayers have finally been answered by the Gods of entertainment.

It has been reported by The City Press publication that Somizi will be returning as a guest judge for Season 18 of Idols SA. Somizi has allegedly been given the green light by the production because he is without a doubt the life of the show. A source close to the production told the publication that there was a huge difference when he was not on the show, in terms of declining viewership which explains his sudden return.

Idols SA spokesperson Lucky Mangena apparently did not want to confirm Somizi’s return, but did however confirm that auditions for season 18 of the show will be starting on January 23rd.

The outspoken celeb was also confirmed to have bagged a new gig on Moja Love as the presenter of a new dating show. The show called Lovey Dovey will give a couple the chance to walk away with R500,000 for their dream wedding. The reality TV show will be TXing in February 2022 and Somgaga will be sharing his hosting duties with actress Gabisile Tshabalala.

Welcome back Som Som!!
