    Lady Du Speaks out

    Lady Du has stepped on the toes of many following her recent tweet that threatens violence on woman.
    In the tweet she posted, the star was attempting to advocate for ‘broke and or unemployed’ men but found herself been slammed by trolls.

    Lady Du called out girls who calls men broke as a problem in the society. In her words, she said when next she hears any woman calling any man broke, she will resort to violence with the said girl and or woman.

    However, she was slammed for trying to be relevant and be a ‘pick me’ person.

    Ngize ngizwe a girl call a man broke again ngizok faka impama!!! The reason we have soooo much of a distraction is because of how the world is set up now, date your rich men in peace, let them buy you whatever you want but don’t degrade other men because of that STOP THAT SHIT!

  • Morocco 1 – 0 Portugal #FIFAWorldCup

    Morocco 1 – 0 Portugal #FIFAWorldCup

    Morocco became the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final and ended the hopes of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.

    Striker Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning goal in the first half, leaping highest to beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa to the ball and heading in to spark pandemonium at Al Thumama Stadium.

    The north African side’s supporters populated most of the venue and joyously celebrated their breakthrough moment on the global stage.

    Ronaldo came off the bench in the 50th minute to equal the men’s all-time appearance record of 196 in international matches, but he could not drag his side back into the contest.

    Morocco, who will play England or France in the last four, were happy to play on the counter and grabbed the opener just before the break when En-Nesyri headed in from Yahya Attiyat-Allah’s cross.

    Portugal skipper Bruno Fernandes came agonizingly close to leveling just minutes later but a brilliant individual effort struck the crossbar.

    Decimated by injuries, Morocco sat back for the majority of the second half and Yassine Bounou brilliantly tipped over Joao Felix’s drive – the closest they came to an equalizer.

    Morocco striker Walid Cheddira was sent off for a second yellow card in eight minutes of additional time but Portugal could not find the equalizer as their last-four hopes were dashed.

    Three African sides had previously reached this stage of the World Cup but none had progressed any further. Until now.

    The marvelous Moroccan players and fans rejoiced as En-Nesyri’s header in 42 minutes proved to be the pivotal moment.

    Fans whistled and jeered every pass the Portuguese players made and then the rowdiest section behind the goal seemed to suck the ball into the net.

    Walid Regragui’s side was missing West Ham’s Nayef Aguerd, and Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui and lost captain Romain Saiss to injury early in the second period.

    But they defended resolutely and frustrated Portugal to keep their seventh clean sheet in eight games under their boss and have conceded just once in this tournament.

    Morocco is a tough proposition and buoyed on by a partisan crowd in Doha, they will present a difficult challenge to whoever they face in the last four on Wednesday.

    Goalkeeper Bounou, earning his 50th cap, pushed away a header from Felix early on and a deflected strike flew narrowly over.

    Morocco had carved out the better opportunities on the break but En-Nesyri sent two free headers off target and Sofiane Boufal’s curler was straight at Costa.

    In his desperation for an equalizer, Fernando Santos sent on Ronaldo early in the second half but the 37-year-old – who equaled Kuwait striker Bader Al-Mutawa’s international caps record – found it difficult to make any impact.

    Having seen rival Lionel Messi reach the semi-finals on Friday, Ronaldo could not do the same with his side on what is likely to be his final World Cup appearance, trudging down the tunnel in tears at full-time as his dream was over.

  • Mzansi Speculate That Minnie Dlamini has Already Replaced Quinton

    Mzansi Speculate That Minnie Dlamini has Already Replaced Quinton

    Minnie Dlamini, recently wreaked havoc across Mzansi when she announced that she and her husband, Quinton Jones, are getting divorced after two years of struggling to make their relationship work. Now fans are speculating that she has replaced him, but it may not be what it looks like.

    The media personality has recently gone on vacation. Even her fans and fellow celebrities agree that she desperately needed to take a break and unwind after the drama that followed her divorce announcement. She was bullied, and tweeps insinuated that she could not keep a man, and that she would never find love again because she is now “damaged goods”. It was hectic!

    She has been sharing snaps from her vacation, and one of them was captioned “Dinner with my soulmate in Paris”.
    The post immediately caught fans’ attention, but upon further inspection, it seems she was just baiting people, as the soulmate she meant is her close friend. Even so, she is still getting a lot of applause for looking radiant and glowing, even after everything she has been through recently.

    But it was another post that set tongues wagging. She shared a photo four days ago, of herself in a bikini, basking in the sun. She captioned it “golden hour”, but the comments section was turned off, which is probably why it took so long for the post to garner attention.
    That was until one fan, reaching out to a popular gossip blog in the country, speculated that she had gone back to Zuko Tisani’s house in Cape Town. The apartment was the venue of her much talked-about video with Unathi Nkayi, which landed her in trouble.

    Now the fan is further speculating that Minnie has replaced Quinton with Zuko. The former love birds were allegedly supposed to be shooting a film together, or at least collaborating on the project. Now that they are separated, it looks like she may have taken the project and replaced Quinton with Zuko in it.

    Local media personality Unathi Nkayi is back on the airwaves! The broadcaster on March 1, hosted her first show on radio station Star 91.9FM. The seasoned broadcaster hosts the ‘All Star Drive’ from 3pm to 6pm alongside Justin Toerien on the radio station. For her first official show, Star 91.9FM held a live broadcast of the show at Jozi Gin Bar in Cedar Square.

    IOL Entertainment got to join the fun and witness Unathi and Justin do their thing and also meet the rest of the presenters such as Nicole da Silva, Greg and Lucky and Mzi at the community radio station.
    It’s been amazing to have a first again, I didn’t think I would be able to have another first in my career. And also being at a station that is so exciting and so excited to have me there, which is really lovely.

    “I think it’s also really wonderful that there is such an established range of talent here. Everyone is excited, the music is amazing. I love that it is 80% local and I also love that the women we have on the station not only have supportive roles but also have roles where we are independent and can stand alone, which is really great,” she said.

    Unathi boldly expressed her excitement over her new venture. She may have had a little nerves prior to going on air but she handled the show like the pro she is.

    The chemistry between Unathi and Justin was amazing to witness, one would have thought the two had a few practise runs before the broadcast, but Unathi revealed that there was no practise session, just pure authentic energy. After the broadcast and before the celebrations kicked off IOL Entertainment caught up with Unathi about her new chapter.

    “It’s a new chapter, you know and it’s a very scary chapter because I was asked to come help start a new radio station. Something I never thought I would ever do. We know that radio stations in South Africa are established and they have been for a while.

    “So it’s very humbling to be trusted with a new baby, it’s very humbling to be trusted with a blank canvas and for the team to trust me to join them and to say we trust you enough to grow this beautiful baby of ours,” she said.

    Ariana DeBose to make her Marvel debut in Kraven the Hunter

    Ariana DeBose is set to make her Marvel debut in “Kraven the Hunter”. The 31-year-old Golden Globe winner is to star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the upcoming Marvel movie. According to Deadline, the “West Side Story” star will take on the role of Calypso, a voodoo priestess who uses magic potions, and the occasional lover and partner of Kraven (Taylor-Johnson).

    Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger were recently added to the cast, though their roles are being kept under wraps for the time being.

    In 2021, it was revealed Aaron had been cast as Kraven in the Sony motion picture, which will be directed by J.C. Chandor. Kraven is known to be one of Spider-Man’s biggest enemies, and he has also clashed with Venom and Black Panther over the years.

    The character – who was born Sergei Kravinoff – was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and first appeared in 1964 Marvel comic “The Amazing Spider-Man. He said: “Yeah, absolutely. But I don’t have any knowledge I could share with you if did.

    However, his chances of playing the character again appear to be slim as Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, previously told fans that Quicksilver is “100 per cent dead” and will not be back “anytime soon”.

    He said: “Quicksilver is dead, 100 per cent. He’s not coming back anytime soon, there are no plans … No escaping bullets, no retcon, no. The flick is slated for release on January 13, 2023.

    Foundation to be Launched in Riky Rick’s Honour?

    When he said ‘Cotton Eaters do not die, they multiply’ he knew exactly what he meant. Therefore his family will ensure that his memory and legacy lives on. During his emotional funeral on Tuesday, March 1, his family revealed that they would create a foundation in his honour and it will focus on young people.

    Riky always emphasised the importance of taking care for the youth and that is what many people remember him by. He did not just preach the importance, he also practiced it. A family member, Kumi Naidoo, revealed this during his funeral service and said when they last spoke, he pleaded with him and his mother-in-law to help him bring his vision to life.

    “In our last conversation you said mom and I need to help you with your core vision, which is to support young people. You were so concerned about young people at risk but you also wanted young people to have the same chances that you had to break into music, arts and culture.” he said.

    “Mama and I and the rest of the family will work with your fans to bring this vision to light and ensure there will be a foundation set up in your name to serve young people in Africa,” he promised.

    It was an emotional sendoff indeed and it was revealed that his body had been cremated.
    At the funeral, Bianca Naidoo, his wife of 9 years spoke about how he helped her break away from her shell and how their kids loved and cherished him dearly.

    “When I think about nine years together, here are the things I am mostly grateful for. Our journey as parents started at the beginning of our relationship. He was an amazing father to Jordan. They had the most incredible bond from day one. She brought softness to his life

    “Our children told Riky and I the importance of family values. He loved teaching them new things, he wanted them to always be open to new experiences.. He always wanted them to stretch their thinking, expand their horizons . He took a keen interest in their hobbies and passions. He loved them deeply, he was their protector,” she said.

    “As a partner he always encouraged me to come out of my shell and to allow myself to step into the light and conquer my shyness, he wanted me to shine. I was put in his life to love him, to care for him and to help him on a journey to fulfill part of his purpose. Ours was deep and pure love.

Alongside a short preview of the track, she announced: “seventeen days and counting releasing my other baby on march 18thhhhhhhhhh.(sic)”

    In December, Normani revealed her LP is almost done”. Motivation’ star gave the exciting update as she opened up about how daunting it was leaving the safety net of a girl group to embark on a solo career.

    She explained: “Coming out of a girl group, there was a lot that I had to figure out about myself and fears that I had to deal with head-on.

    “I was always so safe being in a girl group. I remember my mom when I was little, she was like, ‘Why do you want to be in a girl group so bad? Is it so you can hide?’

    “And I think that that was pretty much the answer. But God had other plans for me, and by his faithfulness and his grace … Oh, he’s really, really kept me. Because what we do is not easy, guys, I’m telling you.”

    The 25-year-old singer admitted it’s scary putting out the “deepest part of me” for all the world to hear as she is opening herself up to criticism, but she has never felt more confident about her music. The “Dancing with a Stranger” hitmaker previously teased that her first record will “finally allow people” to get to know “the real” her.

    She said: “I am definitely going to be prioritising real-life experiences and making sure it’s my truth – me as a woman, right now. It] will finally [allow] people to get to know the real me, the real Normani.”

    Normani had been “bottling up” her solo greatness and she knew she had it “within her” long before she unleashed her debut solo single, ‘Motivation’, two years ago.

    She added: “To the rest of the world it’s like, Oh my gosh, where has she been? What is this? For me, this is what I knew I’ve had within myself for such a long time.

    “I have just been bottling it up, and I’m so eager to share it with the rest of the world. God, like, saved me until he knew that the moment was right – which is now
