    Khelobedu is spoken by the Balobedu tribe in parts of Limpopo and is one of several Northern Sotho dialects spoken in the region. There’s been a major push for it to become the nation’s 12th official language. Makgopa, who grew up in Lenyeenyee, Limpopo, plays the role of a nurse called Selewa on the e.tv soapie, where she has captivated audiences by speaking the language. Using the language was deliberate to dismantle the stereotypes around the language,” she says.

    Mokokobale Makgopa

    Too often people who speak Khelobedu are laughed at or seen as the joker. There has been an overwhelming response, especially from speakers of the language in Limpopo who see someone who looks and speaks like them. I wish there were more opportunities for us. I wish there was more documenting and preservation of the language. I want to elevate the language. We should speak our language in a place we love — on stage or screen — and not be ashamed.”
    The fight for Khelobedu to be recognised as an official language has been a long one.

    The Modjadji royal family in 2016 called on Nelson Mandela to recognise Khelobedu after many students in the area it is spoken failed their matric exams because they had to translate their language into Sepedi.

    Mokokobale Makgopa

    Earlier this year, President Cyril Ramaphosa promised to make Khelobedu an official language during an address at the coronation of the queen of the Balobedu.

    Mokokobale Makgopa

    Makgopa joins a list of several Khelobedu speakers who are challenging stereotypes around the language. Award-winning musician Candy Tsa Mandebele and chart-topping singer King Monada perform in the language. Tsa Mandebele said she sang in Khelobedu due to her desire to preserve the language and because it felt more authentic. “As Balobedu we need to make sure our language grows in leaps and bounds.

    Mokokobale Makgopa

    Monada said the language had caused difficulties in the early stages of his career. “It can be difficult because some people don’t understand and will ask what you are singing. You don’t know if it will be as well received as you hope. On the other hand, even if it goes well, people will judge you and ask why you don’t just sing in a proper language like English.

    Just hours after nearly shutting down social media for his comments on Anele Mdoda’s inclusion on the Miss SA judging panel, Phat Joe has apologised to the radio star. Joe saw flames on Wednesday morning when he questioned Anele’s inclusion on the beauty pageant’s panel and suggested she was just there to make up the numbers. Anele wasn’t here for game and soon dragged Joe HARD for his comments, calling him “washed out” and claiming he was “obsessed” with her.

    Phat Joe

    Joe laughed off the clapback on his radio show, but later apologised to Anele, claiming he was joking. Anele confirmed this in a tweet on Wednesday night and said she had accepted his apology.

    Anele Mdoda

    “Just took a call from Phat Joe. He apologized. I accept his apology. Naturally he thought he was joking and it didn’t land well on me. I appreciate the fact that he did not want to dictate how I reacted in my defense to what he believed was said in jest. We live. We err. We heal,” she wrote. She later explained that she accepted the apology because she was also far from perfect and sometimes had to say sorry.

    Let’s not make this about me and Joe but about the 16 girls baring their souls ? I am done on this 🙂

    — Anele Mdoda (@Anele) August 7, 2019

    “I am not perfect so I am quick to forgive because I too say a lot of sorry’s,” she told a follower. While social media users weighed in on the debate, UDM leader Bantu Holomisa joked that Joe should have at least brought a cow as a sign that his apology was sincere.
    Mdoda said the incident, which saw both stars trend for most of Wednesday, taught her they both had fans, but this should not overshadow the pageant.

    J’Something to his beautiful wife Coco – I hate being far away from you

    Finding it hard being away from his family while on the road, Mi Casa frontman J’Something has shared an archived video he sent his wife Coco years ago. J’Something serenades her – and now us – with his romantic voice, as he pours his heart out about how hard it is to be away from home.

    J'Something

    In an Instagram post accompanying the video, he wrote: “I found this video I sent to my wife years ago when I was on tour. It’s a weird thing. I love being on the road performing, but being away from my wife and family is hella hard. J’Something and Coco travelled together to Portugal last year, visiting historic churches and landmarks.

    J'Something

    The singer has never been scared to gush over his missus, waxing lyrical about their love in a Instagram post last year: “We were born to learn to love. All of us! None of us know how to love perfectly. Only God does. God is love. But that’s the purpose behind life, for us to learn and practice love with one another so that we can learn so much more about who God is!

    J'Something

    “When I found this lady of mine, I knew I wanted to learn to love her. I wanted to practice patience with her. I wanted to put aside my pride for her. I wanted to learn to forgive her. I wanted to be kind to her and show her that she could trust me every second of the day,” he wrote at the time.
