The Newzroom Afrika prime-time presenter took to social media to share the good news.

“Guys, ke fodile. Thank you all for the prayers, well wishes and love. I’m truly blessed. Grateful to be back at work today,” she tweeted on Monday, 10 August.

The update comes after she shared over a week ago that she was at home resting and recovering from Covid-19.

“Like so many others in the country, I’ve tested positive for Covid-19. Thankfully only mild symptoms which are congestion and headache. I’m doing really well,” she captioned a picture of herself.

“Please take care of yourselves. I will be doing a lot of reading and watching television for the next 14 days,” she said.Shortly after giving an update about her health, messages from people wishing her a speedy recovery started pouring in.

Cathy was not the only broadcaster who opened up about battling the virus. SABC’s Chriselda Lewis, who has already recovered and was back at work, also shared she had tested positive for the virus a few weeks ago.

“Late last month, I had tested positive for Covid-19. It has been a painful and scary journey towards recovery. I thank the Almighty for giving me more life, the doctors, my family, friends and colleagues who showed so much love and care,” she said.

Chriselda said although her isolation period had lapsed, she would still be taking some time off.

“While my isolation period has lapsed, I will be away for a few more days to regain strength and provide emotional and logistical support to others nearing the end of their isolation period.”

The journalist, who has been away from social media since testing positive, urged everyone to be safe and take care of themselves.

Their photo hung on the walls of many homes across Mzansi in the ’80s. And everyone knew Mpho and Mphonyana’s names. This is because their story touched many people’s hearts.

Born in Chris Baragwanath Hospital in 1986, the famous twins were born conjoined at the head.

The 35-year-old died on Friday, 6 August.

“I see you are struggling. One day you will rest as I will leave you and you will be at peace as I join my twin sister.”

These were Mpho Mathibela’s last words to her sister, Kedisaletse MathibelaMokgobi (47).

Kedisaletse said though her young sister was in the hospital for almost a week, she had been ill for at least two weeks.

“We first took her to a private doctor and the doctor referred us to the hospital because of her condition,” she said.

She said Mpho also suffered from epilepsy for more than 10 years and was always home because of her condition.

“We’re struggling to cope. She was my best friend. She was always with me, my brother and mother,” said Kedisaletse.

She described Mpho as a loving person who was always smiling and was prayerful.

She said Mpho survived through her disability grant and her mother’s grant.

The family appealed for any kind of help to bury Mpho, who will be laid to rest in Jouberton.

AKA pens sweet note as he remembers Anele Tembe 4 months after her passing

AKA takes to social media on Wednesday morning, 11th of August, remembering his late fiancée, Anele Nelli Tembe who passed on 4 months ago.

The death of the 21-year-old left scars in the hearts of many including the rapper who just payed her lobola before she jumped to her death.

Taking to Instagram, Supa Mega appreciated everyone who’s comforted him during this trying period, and said he’s never going to be the same person he was.

“4 months to this day. … it never goes away. Everyday I pray for her, myself and our families. I will never be the same person I was … but I will do the best I can with the gift and opportunity of life that I still have left. Thank You to everyone who has stuck by me and our respective families … you know who you are,” he said.

Fans and friends sends him more comforting message.

In April, Anele was announced and confirmed dead after jumping from a hotel building which she lodged in with AKA.

In an interview which was released weeks after her death, the rapper insinuated that his late lover was suicidal multiple times and her family knew about it, despite the family’s act of denial.

Supa Mega is finally getting out of his shell, as he’s back to making music and he joined some musicians in the industry in playing football – Hip Hop versus Maskandi.

The entertainment industry has suffered yet another blow. This after three Amapiano artists – Killer Kau, Mpura and Khanya Hadebe – died in a car accident at the weekend.

They were travelling to a gig in Rustenburg, North West with two friends.

A source close to the situation said the driver hit a truck head-on.

“All I know is that the driver does not drink. I think this was just a terrible mistake. They were probably late and trying to make it to the gig.”

He said they had a candlelit prayer for their late friends on Monday, 9 August.

“We had to celebrate their lives the way they lived. We had a prayer at our weekly Mogodu Monday spot in Mapetla, then turned up. It felt like they would just walk in and start dancing,” said the source.
