WATCH: Mafikizolo’s Theo and wife Vourne get married for second time in a beautiful wedding

Mafikizolo member Theo Kgosinkwe and his wife Vourne tied the knot for the second time this weekend. The couple already got married in 2020 but only invited immediate family due to Covid-19 restrictions.

They finally got their big wedding on Saturday, 29 January and it was attended by people such as fellow Mafikizolo singer Nhlanhla Mafu, Brinnette Seopela, Simphiwe Majola, and Sibulele Sibaca.

The guests took to social media to share pictures of themselves at the wedding. Theo and Vourne have been together for four years and recently welcomed their first daughter earlier last year.

When they got married in 2020, they said they planned a big wedding which they had to postpone to last year due to Covid-19, but they couldn’t wait for the wedding and decided to get married anyway.

They both posted on social media saying they couldn’t wait to celebrate their wedding with friends and family.

“Due to Covid-19 Theo and I had to postpone our wedding celebration until next year. But we couldn’t wait to be husband and wife!! Yesterday I married my best friend. We can’t wait to celebrate with family and friends … but we will have to wait a little longer,” wrote Vourne on Instagram at the time.

Police Confirm Jabu Mahlangu Has Been Charged

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates star Jabu Mahlangu has reportedly been charged with negligent and reckless driving and fleeing the scene of an accident. According to TimesLive, a case docket has been registered with the Benoni SA Police Service following the soccer star’s accident.

Mahlangu was involved in a car collision a few days ago. His BMW4 series reportedly collided with a Toyota Hiace Quantum that was filled with passengers.

Police Confirm Jabu Mahlangu Has Been Charged

Reports have revealed that two passengers were seriously injured and 11 had minor injuries. Mahlangu’s lawyers told City Press that the former soccer star was admitted together with the other passengers who were rushed to the hospital after the accident, “We have not seen him yet. The only thing we got from his brother was the confirmation that there was an accident in the early hours of the morning.

Police Confirm Jabu Mahlangu Has Been Charged

“It looks like there was more than one vehicle involved. They suspect that the occupants of the other vehicle might be injured too. Jabu is in the same hospital [with some of them],”
However, the EMPD spokesperson Lt-Col Kelebogile Thepa told TimesLive that when the EMPD and emergency services personnel arrived at the scene Mahlangu was not there.

“It has further been established that he was not even part of all those injured and who needed to be transferred to hospital. So an inference can then be drawn that, in the absence of any of the following, he would have fled the scene, and then that is a criminal offence,

“A case docket has been registered with the Benoni SA Police Service (SAPS). As of now, we do confirm that there are two charges brought against him, one being the reckless and negligent driving and the other being fleeing the scene of the accident,” the publication quoted the Lt-Col.

Idols SA season 17 winner Berry joins Kalawa Jazmee

THE Idols SA season 17 winner, Berenike “Berry” Trytsman Berry, has officially joined record label Kalawa Jazmee.

The label announced the news through a statement, formally welcoming Berry.

The 31-year-old mum of four and wife from Cape Town won the singing competition last year, walking away with R1 million in cash, a recording deal with Kalawa and other prizes.

“It is with great pleasure that we officially welcome Idols SA winner Berry to Kalawa. Berry, who had a stellar season showing incredible range and versatility personified in her hit song Ungowami, joins the top 5 from season 16 as a core part of the artists that will continue Kalawa’s track record of making impactful music,” it read.

Musicians, directors and co-founders Oscar “Oskido” Mdlongwa and Zynne “Mahoota” Sibika said they would not box Berry.

“We don’t box our artists to one genre. We allow them space to grow and develop as artists,” said Oskido.

“The music industry has taken a different turn. Music is released every hour so to stand out, one requires loyalty to their brand as well as versatility,” said Mahoota.

Berry said she was excited about joining the label.

“I am grateful that I have entered a space and record label of legends who have a record of making great music and the university that has built superstars. I am quite sure that my brand is in safe hands,” she said.
