Nomzamo Mbatha shares inspiring message about self-care on Women’s Day

In the celebration of Women’s Day today, Mzansi actress, Nomzamo Mbatha, shared a strong message for her daughter and nieces on social media. Although Nomzamo has been spending more time abroad in LA than back home this year, she still cares very much about the women in her lives. The time away from home has really given the actress opportunity to reflect on many important things in life.

According to Okmzansi, previously, Nomzamo hinted that married life is not for her despite having been engaged before, but she shared that that did not mean kids were out of the picture too. In a recent Instagram live post, Nomzamo shared what she wanted to teach her daughter and nieces one day.

She wrote: “Things I want to teach my daughter and nieces. That you can take yourself out on a gaddam 5-star dinner date and spoil yourself to the fullest. Fill your own well up, anyone and anything else is a mere addition to that. We are our own universes and everything in between. Nomzamo is one of the most hard-working personalities in the entertainment industry. Not only has she stolen the show in many productions, she has a BET Award under her belt too.

Nomzamo Mbatha has been enjoying warm sunkisses in California and it’s showing – the actress is glowing beauty everywhere. She shared some snaps of her time in the US city and her fans are gushing over how amazing she looks.

Actress and goodwill ambassador, Nomzamo Mbatha, is soaking up the California sun while the rest of us are still feeling the last chills of winter here in Mzansi. The Cali sun is doing the things for Nomzamo – she’s looking absolutely stunning! Taking to social media, the beauty shared a series of snaps of her weekend in the American city and had her fans feeling rather thirsty.

Celeste Ntuli: My thick skin helped me as a female comedian

In commemoration of Women’s Day, comedian and actress Celeste Ntuli has weighed in on being a woman in 2019. Celeste is known as a powerhouse in the comedy industry and will on Friday join several other comedians headlining The Kings and Queens of Comedy, The Women’s Day Edition.

Talking to TshisaLIVE ahead of the show, Celeste opened up about her own experience with patriarchy in the industry and explained that she had developed a thick skin.
Growing up and being called names made me stronger as I came to realise that being called names didn’t faze me. I had to learn to either pick myself up or to allow people to put me down. It’s either you learn to love or hate yourself.

Although she might be in a male-dominated industry, Celeste felt women could make people laugh too. There’s nothing wrong being identified as female. As I believe there is no difference between a male or female comedian. In fact, we women can make you laugh even harder!

She admitted that she doesn’t see challenges as a negative thing as she felt that she’s never faced such, only through observation of others. My life was designed in such a way that I don’t see the hurdles in my journey as challenges, but life lessons. As soon we women start looking at challenges that way, the sooner we’ll move up in this world.

Talking about The Kings and Queens of Comedy event, set to take place on August 9 at Emperors Palace, Celeste said fans can expect a lot of laughter and “sexiness”.

“The difference about this edition is that we don’t do them quite often, it’s just something special for the ladies. The show promises women who’ll be attending lots of laughter and sexiness, they should really come through to the show.

Scandal actress Mokokobale Makgopa talks about dark-skinned girls in the industry

Scandal actress Mokokobale Makgopa has gushed over dark-skinned actresses in the industry that have broken barriers and made it easier for her to pursue her dream of acting.

Mokokobale, who plays the role of Selewa on the hit E.tv soapie, says representation in the industry was important, especially for those who could feel marginalised because of their skin tone.

“Something amazing happens when you watch stories that reflect your lived experience. There is something magical about seeing someone who has the same hair as you have, the same dark tone that you have represented on national TV.”

She said she was inspired by actresses such as Grace Mahlaba, Masasa Mbangeni and Brenda Ngxoli.

“As a little girl, watching these women who look like me opened the possibilities of me being on national TV as a dark-toned actress. It opened up the realisation that I have a voice and can be heard.”

She said that while the industry was becoming more welcoming of different skin tones, too often people limit themselves and allow stereotypes to decide what they can, and cannot, do.

Mokokobale’s comments come as the conversation around colourism continues to hog headlines.

Pearl Thusi and Bonnie Mbuli had a heated twar two months ago over “light-skinned privilege” and Beyoncé’ released a song called Brown-skinned Girl on her latest album.

A Nigerian woman identified as Maj left Twitter divided after she sang her own version of the song titled Light-skinned Girls.

Crushing on Khayakazi Kula aka Martha from #TheQueenMzansi

Born in 1986, New Brighton, Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, Khayakazi Kula is a jack of all trades in the acting circles. She can move from playing the role of youth in her teens, and a mature middle-aged woman with relative ease. Making her a flexible actress who can adapt to different roles in a play, should that be needed. This disposition could be tracked from her area of study, public relations and communications at the University of Johannesburg.

Khayakazi’s first TV role was on Mtunzini.com as Tyhileka in 2008 and her first lead was that of Lizeka in Intsika. In 2012 she was cast as Pinky on SABC1 youth drama series Tshisa.

In 2014 she was as Pinky in a real-life television drama Soul City – alongside Nunu Khumalo, Lerato Mvelase, and Gontse Ntshegang. In 2014 was cast as Palesa on SABC1 drama series Kowethu. In 2016 she was cast as young Nomazwe in a Xhosa television drama series Isikizi – alongside Zandile Msutwana, Thamsanqa Mbongo, and Sivenathi Ntshwanti.

In 2016 she cast as Martha Ndlovu on Mzansi Magic soapie drama The Queen. In 2017 she was cast as Bonnie on e.tv’s telenovela Broken Vows.

She recently triggered anxiety among her fans when she disclosed that she was stopping playing the character ‘Martha’ on Mzansi Magic telenovela The Queen. The role that many of her followers have for years not just attached her, but have attached it to her only.

Being Martha, she became a darling for many for a trait of being a family centred and always willing to help others. This is a temperament Khayakazi in real life shares with Martha.

Generations: The Legacy actor Mrekza shows off his twins – Pictures

Generations actor, Kope Makgae is one of the most versatile stars in South Africa. The media personality successfully dabbles in acting, r@pping and being a dad. The star who plays the role of Mrekza on Generations: The Legacy has twins and taking to Instagram, he often shares snaps of his children.

Fatherhood has made the star more responsible, in an interview on Metro FM, Kope opened up about how his lack of money in the past groomed him to have a healthy relationship with money “I have had my challenges but I came out of it.

I have been broke. Being broke will humble you. It will teach you who is who, what is important and who is important. Kope went on to add that he felt that people who invest their money on Gucci belts were fools.

“I have made it a long time ago. For me, it is personal. It speaks to my achievements. I know people who were in this game longer, who had more opportunities than I have. But in terms of assets, in terms of plans, in times of mindset and life lessons, I have beaten them 10-0. I have hung around people who wear Gucci and think they are smart but they are fools.

Bonang Matheba Begs Cassper Nyovest not to sue Her

Bonang Matheba was shaking in her boots when she accidentally used Cassper Nyovest’s signature phrase, “Fill Up” in a tweet and Abuti saw it on his timeline. It was probably an innocent mistake on Queen B’s part but things kicked off when she took to Twitter to write, “Remember to fill up before midnight!”. The presenter was simply talking about the need to top up on fuel before the petrol prices increased at midnight, but not everybody took it this way.

Cassper Nyovest’s fans suggested that she was looking for trouble by using the same phrase that the rapper has used to name his hotly followed series of concerts over the years, “Fill Up”. Just when Bonang thought she might have gotten away with it, Mufasa confirmed her worst fears: he had seen her obvious plagiarism of his not-trademarked-but-still-his concert name. Fearing a fight, Bonang begged him not to sue her:

It looked as if both megastars were about to lawyer up, until Cassper was able to settle it out of court. He found it in his heart to forgive Bonng because.

Okay, okay! We know they were joking all along, but Cassper Nyovest has proven that he doesn’t take use of the phrase “Fill Up” very lightly. Back in 2018 Cassper tried to call out Benny Mayengani for using the phrase for his own concert, Fill Up Giyani Stadium. Cassper, who had promoted Fill Up The Dome, Orlando, FNB and Moses Mabhida felt as if other artists were unfairly hopping onto his bandwagon.

While many of us could agree that at face value, the Fill Up trend was very much a “Cassper thing” – legally he had no leg to stand on because he had not copyrighted the phrase which meant that Benny, and indeed Bonang, could go ahead and use “Fill Up” whenever and however they wanted. So even if Lebonza was not from Maftown, she would have been safe.

As an aside, karma hit back in the long run because Benny Mayengani’s Fill Up Giyani Stadium went ahead, but the second time he tried to use the phrase, for Fill Up Peter Mokhaba, it turned out to be a complete disaster. Do you remember this?

Gigi Lamayne and Sho Madjozi talks about colourism

Gigi Lamayne shares how an unnamed South African celebrity tried to convince her to consider bleaching her skin in order to further her career. As part of radio station PowerFM’s #987Woman series for Women’s Month, musician Sho Madjozi was invited to host the midday segment and take over as host for a day.

Madjozi was invited as one of 30 powerful women who are invited to the station for their annual three-day Women’s Day celebrations. Every August, the station benches its presenters for three days in a row and invites various female newsmakers and offers them an opportunity to tell their stories and share their views about topics they are most passionate about.

Madjozi (real name Maya Wegeriff) touched on a number of topics but chose to dedicate the middle hour of the show to the topic of colourism – a topic that her name has been brought up in countless times, especially since her BET Award win earlier this year.

Lamayne shared how an unnamed South African celebrity tried to convince her to consider bleaching her skin in order to further her career. Lamayne also stated that this unnamed celebrity told her that she had done it herself and it had worked wonders for her own career.

The pair went on to discuss the innocuous ways in which colourism takes shape in day to day interactions as well as the more overt ways that darker-skinned non-white people are discriminated against by people from their own ethnic backgrounds.

COMING UP: @ShoMadjozi is in studio and is ready to bring you a jam-packed #POWERTalk. Here’s what you can expect ?.#987Woman pic.twitter.com/KmSqCvn3Mt

— POWER 98.7 (@Powerfm987) August 8, 2019

According to Madjozi, one’s experience of colourism isn’t always negative as she often hears things like “you’re beautiful for a Tsonga girl”. She added, however, that although the people saying this think it is a compliment, the underlying implications of the comment are very problematic and may be hurtful to someone else.

Lamayne likened this to the conversations had in hip hop circles and the archetype that most men in hip hop find themselves glorifying. An archetype that Lamayne described as the “light-skinned, long-haired, thin waist, big booty” type of woman.

Sbahle Mpisane’s ‘never give up’ attitude is truly inspiring. Despite the hardships she’s been through and is still facing, she’s showing that life won’t keep her down. She recently shared snaps of her stunning summer-ready body.

Sbahle Mpisane time and again shows her fans what determination looks like – she refuses to allow life to knock her down for good. Since her car accident, Sbahle has been fighting to get back the life she so very nearly lost – and it hasn’t been an easy battle.

And yet, whenever you see the popular fitness bunnie, she’s smiling from ear to ear. What an inspiration. She recently showed off her beautiful summer-ready body and even gave her Instagram followers some advice: “Always buy long-sleeved bikinis for winter.

My long period of amnesia almost made me forget that I have brains in my head. My traumatic injuries on both my feet made me question if I can steer myself in any direction I choose.

Nonetheless, a few understood and pushed me to additionally reclaim myself and relook at my directions.
