    Zikhona Sodlaka leaving “The Wife”

    Zikhona Sodlaka who plays Mandisa in The Wife speaks about her exit from the series following the death of her character.
    “I’m not even sure where to begin, but perhaps, let me start from the beginning, From the very inception and creation of the books by Dudu-Busani Dube,” Zikhona says. “The Wife was already set up to win because the books are incredible and everybody who fell in love with them from their creation knew that they would love the screen version.”Zikhona (1)

    She appreciated other cast who worked with her in the movie.

    ”We laughed, cried, brainstormed, fought, and committed. So thank you. Thank you to the cast – Mbalenhle Mavimbela, Khanyi Mbau, and the new additions to this season.”

    According to Zimoja, the actress spoke about how her role was made longer in other to please viewers.

    “I had taken the role knowing that this is the character that dies in the first season. This is something that we knew from the word go as she also kills herself, even in the book. But because viewers loved her so much we had to keep her and in deciding to keep her, the writers explored what we could do with her, and the results were just pure magic!” she says.

    The actress further appreciated supporters.

    “To the supporters, you guys have always believed in SouthAfrican stories. The supporters are very clear about what it is that they loveand what is true to them. And in this case, The Wife has affirmed even more so to me that South African stories are indeed superior to South Africans. It’s been a privilege. It’s been fun.”

  • South Korea 2 – 1 Portugal

    South Korea 2 – 1 Portugal

    Hwang ran onto Son Heung-min’s pass in the 91st minute to round off a rapid break and start wild celebrations from his side’s fans in the stands.

    South Korea had needed to win to stand any chance of joining Portugal in the knockout stage, but even following the final whistle, their progress was not secured.kim

    On the pitch and in the stands, players and supporters watched the final moments of Uruguay’s game with Ghana, knowing another goal for the South American side would send them out.

    When that 2-0 win was confirmed, a huge roar went around Education City Stadium, and South Korea were able to start the party for real. Any hope of a happy ending for South Korea had seemed unlikely when they fell behind after only five minutes, with Portugal scoring with their first meaningful attack.

    Diogo Dalot surged into the box from the right and from his cutback, Ricardo Horta was in the right place to sweep a first-time shot past Kim Seung-gyu and mark his World Cup debut with a goal.

    That made South Korea’s task even harder but falling behind failed to silence their thousands of noisy fans and their team soon responded.

    The side led by former Portugal player and coach Paulo Bento thought they had replied instantly when Kim Jin-su turned home the rebound after Diogo Costa saved Cho Gue-sung’s flicked header. But the celebrations were cut short by a flag for offside.South Korea 2 -1 Portugal

    An equaliser was not long in coming, however, and it followed another cross. This time a corner wasn’t cleared and the ball hit Cristiano Ronaldo’s back and rolled into the path of Kim Young-gwon, who could hardly miss from close range.

    With Uruguay winning against Ghana, South Korea’s route out of Group H was open again, but the goals they needed did not look like materialising.

    Portugal, now safe as group winners, looked more likely to score, with Vitinha and Horta going close.

    Tottenham star Son, so often his nation’s hero, seemed to be trying to do too much himself and although he got plenty of power behind two long-range efforts, both were blocked.Son2

    At the start of stoppage time, it seemed South Korea were heading out, but they mounted one last attack after clearing a corner and this time Son played the pass instead of shooting himself.

    He slipped Wolves forward Hwang clear to run into the area and deliver a cool finish to give this eventful World Cup group stage yet another twist.

    South Korea’s reward is a tie against the Group G winners, likely to be Brazil, while Portugal will face Switzerland, Cameroon or Serbia.

  • Ghana 0 – 2 Uruguay

    Ghana 0 – 2 Uruguay

    The Uruguay striker played a major role in both of Uruguay’s goals and the 35-year-old was in tears after the final whistle, following what may have been his last international.

    Both goals were scored by Giorgio de Arrascaeta, the first a close-range header, the second a sublime volley.

    In Group H’s other game, South Korea’s 2-1 victory over group winners Portugal was enough to take them through in second place.score3

    Uruguay and South Korea both ended with a zero goal difference, but the side from Asia netted a total of four goals in their three games, with the South American team scoring just the two they managed against Ghana.

    Suarez, whose handball in their previous meeting 12 years ago played a crucial role in sending his side through on that occasion, saw his shot fall into De Arrascaeta’s path for the opener, before the veteran former Liverpool striker followed it up with a glorious assist for the second.

    There had been early penalty drama when Ghana striker Andre Ayew saw his spot-kick saved by Sergio Rochet at 0-0. The penalty was awarded by the referee after reviewing the goalkeeper’s foul on Mohammed Kudus on the pitchside monitor. Ghana came into the grudge match with hopes of avenging the defeat from 2010, when Suarez handled the ball on the line and was sent off, before wildly celebrating Asamoah Gyan’s miss from the resulting penalty.

    Ghana lost the shootout that followed, and there was plenty of drama this time round too.suarez1

    At 2-0 up, Uruguay thought they were progressing to the last 16, but news filtered through of South Korea’s comeback against Portugal.

    Suarez, who was subbed off on 65 minutes for Edinson Cavani, sat on the bench in disbelief as he was made aware of the final result in the other game.

    At full-time, the emotional striker was consoled on the pitch by captain Diogo Godin – both veterans might have been seen in a Uruguay shirt for the last time.

    Ghana should have taken the lead, but like Gyan in 2010, Andre Ayew failed to convert and it proved extremely costly.

    Otto Addo’s men needed some inspiration in the second period but were unable to find a way through an obdurate Uruguayan defence as Kudus saw a low drive tipped wide by Rochet late on.

    Uruguay had scored twice before the break and with time running out they pushed for the winner, but Federico Valverde’s effort was palmed away by Lawrence Ati-Zigi, who also made a stunning stop to keep out Cavani’s nunezheader.

    Nkosazana Daughter and Sir Trill have reportedly welcomed their first child together.

    The two hitmakers are highly secretive about their personal lives but it’s rumored that they’ve been head over heels in love with each other months ago. Nkosazana and Trill are said to be parents to a baby girl.

    A source close to the singer disclosed to Zimoja that she gave birth in November which might cause her to cancel her festive gigs as she will be busy nursing her baby.

    “Last time we booked her to perform at our gig, he accompanied her and stayed in the car while she performed. They are madly in love, and she has not told us anything yet officially,” the source says.

    It was also deepthroated that Sir Trill is living off Nkosazanah’s income as he doesn’t get booked as he ought to.

    “As talented as he is, he does not get booked to perform and he is not making money that is why he travels with Nkosazana to gigs and he’s forever with her everywhere she goes. He had a fallout with one of the top producers who we think blacklisted him and he does not get airplay or bookings and that is why he has been struggling,” the source added.

    However, the two musicians are yet to respond to the claims about them.

  • Costa Rica 2 – 4 Germany

    Costa Rica 2 – 4 Germany

    Japan’s 2-1 win against Spain would have eliminated Germany anyway, but Hansi Flick’s side needed three points to give themselves any chance of reaching the last 16.

    They completed their part of the bargain, but it was to no avail as the four-time champions finished third in the group and were eliminated on goal difference.Costa Rica 2 - 4 Germany

    Germany were in complete control and in front through Serge Gnabry’s 10th-minute header, only for Costa Rica to turn the match on its head to raise the remarkable possibility of Spain also going out.

    Yeltsin Tejeda equalised after Germany keeper Manuel Neuer pushed out Kendall Waston’s header in the 58th minute, before Juan Pablo Vargas bundled in a second 12 minutes later.

    At that stage, Costa Rica were going through with Japan, and Spain were heading for the exit.Costa Rica 2 - 4 Germany

    It would have capped one of the most astonishing nights in World Cup history, but Germany substitute Kai Havertz restored a measure of normality to proceedings with two clinical finishes to extinguish Costa Rica’s hopes of springing a major shock.

    Substitute Niclas Fullkrug added a last-minute fourth to confirm victory, but it will be of no consolation as Germany failed to reach the knockout stage of the tournament for the second time in succession. This was also a match that made history as an all-female officiating team took charge of a men’s World Cup game for the first time, with France’s Stephanie Frappart refereeing, joined by assistant referees Neuza Back from Brazil and Karen Diaz Medina from Mexico.

    Shocked Germany a fallen power
    Germany’s second successive exit at the group stage will come as another shock to their system and they can have no complaints as they leave Qatar.

    The skids were under their campaign when they lost 2-1 to Japan in their opener and, despite showing real character to come from behind to draw 1-1 with Spain, the first-game defeat left them vulnerable.

    A Germany win looked a formality as they controlled the first half hour with embarrassing ease and led through Gnabry’s strike.Costa Rica 2 - 4 Germany

    Costa Rica were overpowered but Germany’s complacency gave them an entry into the game and suddenly it was they who looked like qualifying as they went ahead, although it did not last long.

    Germany have some fine players in the brilliant Jamal Musiala, along with Bayern Munich’s former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, but this World Cup may spell the end for the older generation such as goalkeeper Neuer and forward Thomas Muller.

    There is certainly likely to be a lengthy inquest into another failure at the finals.

    Japan 2 – 1 Spain

    In a tournament that has been full of shocks, this was perhaps the most dramatic night so far, with Spain left relying on the result of Germany’s game with Costa Rica for them to progress

    All four teams had started the evening with a chance of progressing but with Spain needing only a draw to qualify, they were not expected to need any favours from elsewhere.Japan 2 - 1 Spain

    La Roja were cruising at the break after Alvaro Morata headed home Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross from close range, but Japan would quickly turn the game – and the whole of Group E – on its head.

    The Samurai Blue sent on substitutes Ritsu Doan and Kaoru Mitoma at half-time and within six minutes of the restart they had both made a huge impact.Japan 2 - 1 Spain

    Doan equalised with a fierce shot from the edge of the area and, only 142 seconds later, Mitomo retrieved Doan’s low cross and found Ao Tanaka to bundle home from close range

    The goal was initially ruled out by the assistant referee who signalled Doan’s cross had gone out of play, but the Video Assistant Referee ruled Mitomo had reached it in time.Mitoma

    Things got even worse for Spain when Costa Rica took a surprise lead over Germany moments later, because at that stage they were heading out. The big screens at Khalifa International Stadium showed the updated group table, to the disbelief of the Spain supporters, and pretty much everyone else here too.

    Luis Enrique’s side were in big trouble, and were showing few signs of knowing how to rescue themselves, with only Germany’s late rally sending La Roja through as group runners-up on goal difference.
