Manaka Ranaka urges SA film industry to make Thabo Bester’s story into a film

Manaka Ranaka wants a Thabo Bester and Dr Nandipha movie

Manaka Ranaka advises the South African Film Industry to adopt Thabo Bester’s prison escape into a movie.

The actress isn’t the first to speak out on the adoption, but she appears to be more intentional as she already cast Thabo and his alleged lover’s roles to Dineo Langa and Kevin Khathutshelo.
Manaka says if the industry doesn’t jump at the story which has now gone international, then the Americans will likely adopt it and make money from it.

“Southaaaaaaaaa. The Casting Director in me has spoken!!! @dineomoeketsi @kevin_khathusthelo. If you know you know. #ThaboBester #FacebookRapist #nandiphamagudumana @netflixsa do the right thing before Amelika does,” she captioned post.

Rapist and murderer Thabo Bester escaped prison since 2022 but was finally caught in April 2023 in Tanzania, alongside his alleged lover Dr Nandipha who aided his escape from the prison.

Sizwe Dhlomo Unapologetic For Unathi’s Dismissal

Sizwe Dhlomo Unapologetic For Unathi’s Dismissal

Veteran broadcaster and singer-songwriter Unathi Nkayi recently made headlines again due to her ongoing drama with her former radio station Kaya959. This is as it was made public that Unathi was taking the radio station to court and demanding an R1.6 million payout.

Reported by Sunday World at the time stating:

Unathi Nkayi, the former Kaya FM DJ and Idols SA judge have filed a lawsuit against her former employer, Kaya FM, for unlawful termination after a verbal altercation with Sizwe Dhlomo. According to Sunday World, Unathi is seeking compensation for unpaid salary, damages, defamation, and impairment of dignity.
Given the animosity between Sizwe Dhlomo and Unathi following her dismissal, it was not a surprise when Sizwe took to the timeline following the story breaking and adding his two cents about the entire situation.

Sizwe Dhlomo is not sorry for Unathi’s dismissal

Recently, it was alleged that Unathi during her time on Kaya959 was allegedly earning a salary of R81 250.00. A lot of many considering that she did not even host a drivetime or breakfast show.

When the news landed on the blue app, one social media user decided to tag Sizwe and ask whether he did not feel guilty for taking away Unathi’s salary. Sizwe being Sizwe addressed the matter head-on by making it clear that he was not in the wrong. As such, he did not feel guilty about the fact.

Moreover, when a follower attempted to make Sizwe feel guilty. Additionally touting that there will be a day when Sizwe’s own downfall happens they will be just as gleeful, Sizwe made it clear that he was unbothered.

A recap of the start of the drama between Sizwe and Unathi was reported as:

At the time of her firing, Unathi had claimed that Sizwe had verbally abused her, and that she had even felt afraid for herself. All of this allegedly happened when Sizwe got to the studio late, and Unathi was angry that he had kept her waiting, resulting in a verbal altercation.

In later details, it came out that the altercation had been recorded, and Unathi had stretched the truth about feeling afraid for herself. Although the show was off air at the time, the equipment was all still on, and captured the whole conversation.

Following investigations by the radio station, Unathi was found to have lied, and was thus let go by the channel effective immediately. But one voice was suspiciously missing from the whole online conversation regarding the real circumstances -Sizwe Dhlomo’s.

How Leeroy Swooped Mihlali Off Her Feet

Beauty influencer and CEO of Malakyt SA Mihlali Ndamase and business owner Leeroy Sidambe have been growing strong in their 1-year relationship. Despite having introduced the new romance to the public attached to scandals, the couple is still going strong.
Mihlali once admitted in an interview that she is in love with Leeroy Sidambe.

“I am crazy in love,” she told Nounouche.

Giving fans a glimpse of how she and Leeroy started dating, Mihlali took to Instagram to dish out the deets.
“I was charmed from the beginning, from the moment I spoke to this man. We were on the phone for six weeks until he couldn’t wait any longer,” she said told her thousands of viewers.

She and Leeroy were on a vacation at the time of their life.

“I caught feelings. Love him like it’s day one, from the moment we met we both just knew. Our first kiss was on the first day we met. He claims he did not know who I am.”
In the interview with Nounouche, Mihlali said she will never speak too much about her relationships, only when she is married.

“I don’t see the need to speak about my relationships. I will only speak openly of my relationship when I am married.”

She opened up about how she did not like the way the relationship was introduced to the public. She also denied stealing Leeroy from his wife Mary-Jane Sidambe.

“The timing to post each other was not right. He posted and I reposted his story. People will always have their opinions, it doesn’t affect me. I am a firm believer in living my life the way I do. I also understand the responsibility I have as a public figure so I am conscious of it.”

“Another important thing is that men are not possessions, you don’t just take and run with it. People are responsible for themselves. We make it seem like these men cannot think for themselves and in that regard, we never hold them to the same standards we hold women.”

Speaking of scandals, Mihlali was recently marred with the negative press after Sunday World reported that Mihlali’s boyfriend, was ordered by the court to give his wife, her Range Rover Autobiography back. Mihlali denied ever driving a used Range Rover.

“Can we just take a moment to chuckle at the fact that dead news publications tried so hard to drive the narrative that I accepted and was driving a car that doesn’t belong to me? I’d leave my beautiful baby Benz and the cars at home to settle for a used Range Rover like I’m desperate,” she wrote.

“I am a woman of standards and I will maintain that standard baby. Nizonya when I buy myself a Bentley,” said Mihlali.

Makhadzi’s Beyonce Inspired Outfit Causes A Scene

After recently getting attacked on stage while performing, singer and dancer Makhadzi lands herself in hot water again following failing dismally to pay homage to Beyonce. Makhadzi, who got the outfit inspiration from music legend Beyonce, admitted to having hit a miss to resemble the outfit.

Makhadzi has been dubbed to have mastered the art of social media following her recent post about her tour dates whilst subsequently trolling her own outfit. The outfit in itself was an attempt to resemble and pay homage to Beyonce’s Lion King gala dinner.

Before social media trolls commenced trolling Makhadzi, she beat them to their own game by making fun of her obvious ‘absurd’ and dismal failure to execute the almost similar replica of Beyonce’s outfit.

“Good morning guys I will explain the outfit later. I am happy to announce my ZAMBIA AND UK TOURS THIS MONTH. From 06 may I will be in Zambia. More dates loading..for Zambia. 20 May I will be in the UK. More dates loading for the UK” wrote Makhadzi

Even after making fun of her outfit herself, tweeps did not spare Makhadzi any mercy as they proceeded to throw eggs and tomatoes on her face for her lackluster Beyonce-inspired gold metallic, feathered jumpsuit.

“Hi Makhadzi, It is now later. Looking forward to hearing from you” wrote Not Yet Uhuru

“Makhadzi mastered these toxic twitter streets. You literally dragged yourself and left no door open for keyboard warriors.” wrote

“Whoever did this to Makhadzi deserves to rot in jail with Thabo Bester and Dr Nandipha” wrote Sawela Nkoana

“See what happens when you hang around Papa Penny, #Makhadzi Ahee” wrote Gershom Mayana

“My Dad agrees with everything I say” says Nota Baloyi

Nota Baloyi brags about his father on Twitter.

Many a time, social media users call out Baloyi’s parents due to his careless act.

However, the Critic made it clear to people that he has his father’s support for whatsoever he says or displays.

“My Dad just sent me R275 airtime so that I can call him whenever I need him… He doesn’t like the idea of not being able to be there to rescue me. My Dad agrees with everything I say,” he wrote.

“I know they hate me because my father won’t abandon me as theirs did… Blaming themselves because they’re afraid to hold their mothers accountable for raising depraved adults by denying them father figures. I don’t wish that on your children, I will save them from you as well,” he added.

Some months ago, Nota was reportedly arrested by the police; a video revealing how his dad saved him from jail went viral on social media.
