Former Black Motion member, Murdah Bongz has been accused of housebreaking and stealing. The musician’s former record label boss, Moses Nkia Mokgoko has opened a case of theft and housebreaking against him. Mokgoko reportedly owns Spirit Motion, the record label that Black Motion is signed to.

According to Sunday World, DJ Zinhle’s husband broke into the group’s Centurion house on Thursday, 15th of December. Bongani “Mörda” Mohosana carted away studio monitors, a television set, computer hard drives, and a mixing desk; a forced entry was also noticed. It’s reported that this isn’t the first time Bongz is caught stealing valuables from the house.

“This is not the first time he did this. A few weeks ago, he allegedly went to the house and trashed it. He then went into the studio and allegedly deleted some of the songs Smol and Problem Child had recorded. Thereafter he allegedly took Thabo’s passport and left.”

“After some discussions with him, they decided to let it slide and not press charges. They instead changed the door locks,” said the source.

Gauteng SAPS spokesperson Colonel Noxolo Kweza confirmed to The South African website that a case of theft and housebreaking was indeed opened, but no arrest has been made.

Zoleka Mandela to donate her frozen eggs

Zoleka Mandela has revealed her intention to donate her frozen eggs. The star who is the daughter of Zindziswa Mandela opened up about her own battle with cancer and has been an inspiration to many.

In recent months, Zoleka shocked many of her followers when she revealed that her cancer had returned and this time she was given a terminal cancer diagnosis, which meant she was now living on borrowed time.

“Yesterday (29.08.2022) marked my official diagnosis, the CT scan has revealed cancer both in my liver and lungs. I am yet to receive feedback regarding my Bone scan, to establish whether I have cancer beyond my ribs. I am hanging on by a thread.

As she has come to terms with her terminal diagnosis, Zoleka took to Twitter to ask for advice over her remaining frozen eggs.

She posted a poll as to ask her followers advice as to what to do with the remaining frozen eggs she has.

Beloved hearts! What do you think I should do with my eggs which have been stored at the fertility clinic, now that I have been diagnosed with stage 4, terminal cancer? Peace. Passion. Positivity. #TerminallyFree

— Zoleka Mandela (@ZolekaMandela) December 19, 2022

Her question comes off the back of realising that she will not be able to have anymore children naturally and given that her diagnosis was now terminal, having a child via surrogacy now would mean she would very likely not be able to take care or see them grow up
