Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fate far from sealed, says Ralph Mathekga

An independent political analyst believes suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fate is not sealed just yet.

This is despite the Section 194 inquiry into her fitness to hold office adopting its final report recommending her permanent removal from office.

But political analyst Ralph Mathekga said it’s far from over and the committee can expect more legal challenges which could drag on beyond the end of her tenure.

“The reason being that she’s even indicated explicitly that she’s going to challenge the report in court, and she will not go straight to the apex court. What that means is that you can already anticipate a lifeline on the matter through the court litigation process until it perhaps lands at the apex court.”

The Section 194 inquiry said the matter is no longer in the committee’s hands and it’s now up to the National Assembly to make the final decision.

Meanwhile, Democratic Alliance deputy chief whip Dr Annelie Lotriet said it’s “scandalous” that from the start of the process, Mkhwebane has employed various delaying tactics to avoid impeachment before her term ends in mid-October.

However, the industry pushed her to take spirituality more seriously as there are different types of people she meets daily. Some of these people exude jealousy and the like, hence she worked on having a solid spiritual foundation.

“We are ready to proceed… we need to consult and take proper instructions. We don’t want to postpone and then one postponement will lead to the other. Therefore we will request for a lengthy postponement to the 8th of November which we believe that by the time we come back, all avenues would have been exhausted and we will keep in touch with the state. I’m ensuring the court that when we return we will proceed,” Baloyi said.

“State prosecutor Agnes Bezuidenhout said she has furnished the defense with copies of the docket. “The state is ready to proceed to trial, however, we will not pose the lengthy postponement. The crime allegedly dates back to 2006 and he faces three counts of rape, two counts of attempted murder, and one count of assault,” Bezuidenhout said.

“The defence was given an opportunity to respond and their response was that they wanted to study the contents of the docket and decide if they wanted to proceed with the trial or they first want to exhaust mechanisms are available to them, one of them being lodging representations,” the NPA’s Phindi Mjonondwane said.

Here are six shocking claims by Katlego Maboe’s baby mama, Monique Muller

Popular South African TV presenter, Katlego Maboe has been dragged over the coals by his baby mama, Monique Muller, who accused him of “financial abuse” following their 2020 split. The Cape Town woman made headlines yesterday, Thursday, 24 August, when she alleged that the Expresso presenter did not want to pay their son’s school fees in full.

She also accused the Deal Or No Deal host of “hiding” his income streams and letting their child “suffer” out of “spite” for her.

Here are six shocking claims by Katlego Maboe’s baby mama, Monique Muller

In 2020, Monique was granted a protection order against Katlego after she accused him of domestic abuse. Katlego was also accused of being unfaithful and allegedly giving her an STI.

In February 2022, the lawsuit was “set aside” by mutual agreement.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Monique Muller made several shocking allegations about her celebrity ex.

“Lying” in court to “hide” his multiple income streams

Monique claimed that Katlego has many income streams despite him stating in court documents that he would be “unemployed from August.”

“I’ve got receipts,” she added.

Living a lavish lifestyle while his child “suffers”

She posted: “How can your expenses range 150k and not even a third of that goes to your child? You rock the latest brands, but shop at Pep for your child and not even clothing that currently fits him. Are you not embarrassed as a parent?”

Pays half of private school fees

Monique claims Katlego does not want his son to go to a government school despite her financial constraints.

Does not purchase clothing for son

She posted: “He has no shame to send his son to the school with pants that don’t even fit.”

Did not help when asked to provide food and basic needs for son

Monique claimed that during a rough patch, she asked Katlego to “send food or even buy electricity” to help their son.

She posted: “He did nothing. He just posts Bible quotes.”

He has not listed his son as a beneficiary in any of his policies.

She posted: “Here you are flourishing, but you are letting your kid suffer to spite me. It’s pathetic”

The publication contacted Katlego for comment. None was received at the time of publishing.

Monique Muller also set the record straight on previous reports that Katlego Maboe had been acquitted of domestic abuse charges. Instead, the lawsuit had been “set aside” as she could allegedly no longer afford to continue to pay legal fees.

She said: “I have been suffering in silence for three years, but there is only so much one can take. One thing I will not do is let my child suffer.

“I am still protecting this man, because no one has heard my truth yet”.

Lady Zamar opens up on why it took her so long to speak out on being ‘raped’

Lady Zamar opens up on why it took her so long to speak out on being ‘raped’

Popular Mzansi singer Lady Zamar is featured on the first episode of Showmax Original series, Unfollowed, as she unpacks her experience of cancel culture and the rape allegation against a fellow musician.

In 2018, the singer-songwriter, real name Yamikani Janet Banda used her social platform to confront a fellow musician for allegedly sexually assaulting her back in 2017. He maintains his innocence and The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence.

In Unfollowed, news anchor and journalist Thembekile Mrototo, the Love Is Blind hitmaker peaks to how she wound up in a long-term relationship that she claims began in rape, and why it took her so long to accept what had happened to her and speak out.

“I come from a very religious background, and I was taught not to be alone with men. The very first day, I felt like it was my fault. And so I felt like I had no leg to stand on… I struggled to walk away from it because I constantly blamed myself,” she tells Mrototo.

Lady Zamar opens up on why it took her so long to speak out on being ‘raped’

She adds that because of her background, she has always known love to come from a place of fear because that is how her father was.

“It was very abusive. And so it was so easy for me to be like, ‘Okay, so I guess this is what I’ve been looking for my entire life’. But I knew deep down that it wasn’t. It was a constant violation because I felt obligated.”

Lady Zamar says that it took a friend directly telling her that what she’d been through was rape, for her to start freeing herself.

“Because I always felt like it was my fault, I never put the words ‘sexual assault’ to it,” she says.

When Lady Zamar opened up on social media, she had a sense of what was to come. The Charlotte singer said that her team warned her that people will not believe her because of the time.

“But this was not about whether people believe me or not. It was a matter of my safety… I knew that as long as I kept his secret, I would be at his mercy.”

The singer has been a victim of online backlash and it has not stopped.

“It was shocking, really, how my narrative, and my story, and my reality became a focal point of entertainment,” Lady Zamar says.

“It was horrific, to just be in a constant state of being reminded of this thing all the time.”

In Unfollowed, Lady Zamar also addresses issues like finding herself cast in the role of the other woman.

She also talks about why she pulled out of the sexual assault court case, and the impact that CPTSD (compound post-traumatic stress disorder), depression, and being unfollowed have had on her life and career.

Rick Ross Reveals The Secret To His Weight Loss

After suffering two seizures in less than 24 hours in 2011, Rick Ross found himself sitting in the waiting room of a very expensive doctor’s office. “I was the only black dude, and the rest was 55- to 80-year-old white males sitting in the room,” he says. “It was all silence and we all was kind of just looking at each other, like, ‘What the f*ck he here for?

Ross watched as elderly Caucasian male after the elderly Caucasian male was called by the nurse. Finally, it was his turn. The doctor broke it down for him. “He told me I didn’t have high blood pressure, but I was hypertensive, which is a phase under having high blood pressure. And that’s when I said right then, ‘Yo, what’s my biggest enemy.

The 45-year-old rapper who once tipped the scale at 350 pounds, has dropped down to a little over 200 pounds after his weight loss in 2014. Since then, has been able to keep the pounds off years later.

In order to drop the weight, instead of going for a fad diet or cleanse to drop the weight fast, he chose a slower, more lasting route. Besides exercising with friends, and creating a personal version of Cross Fit (a.k.a. “Ross Fit”), which he does four days a week, the Maybach Music Group boss works with a personal chef, and doesn’t deprive himself of guilty pleasures.

Former Isidingo actor Aubrey Poo reveals why it has taken him 23 years to join SABC1 soapie Generations: The Legacy. The Generations: The Legacy actor Aubrey Poo tells Sowetan that he first auditioned in the soapie in 2000 before landing the role as Khumo Moroka.

“I also had to sit back and ask myself what it meant for my career to join the show and although it’s taken me 23 years to finally be on Generations, I feel honoured to be a part of this legacy.

Poo, who recently exited S3’s telenovela, The Estate adds that he feels blessed to be able to jump from one contractual opportunity to the other. He also reveals hat there’s a certain expectation when one joins a soapie as big as Generations.

People expect you to come with certain expertise and experience and the only way one can know if they can achieve such is by throwing themselves into the process.

Aubrey Poo waited 23 years to join Generations: The Legacy

The star is also famously known for his roles in Isidingo as Gabriel Mothusi, Muvhango as Pule Mohale, The Estate as Castro Kamanga and many more. The legendary actor Aubrey Poo will debut in Generations: The Legacy in September as a high-powered scion of the Moroka family alongside Rapulana Seiphemo as Tau Mogale and Connie Ferguson as Karabo Moroka.

He reveals that he had two weeks to prepare for the Moroka role as The Estate stopped shooting at the end of June and he started with Generations: The Legacy on 7 July.

Poo adds the best way to prepare for a character is to have as much consultation as possible with the writers who can give you the headspace as much as possible regarding the script and to be able to take on the role as best as possible. TVSA reports that Poo’s latest character, Khumo Moroka is responsible for running the Morokas mining operations.

Generations production reveals to the publication that they believe the multi-talented actor will bring the natural charm and elegance he exudes to the role of Khumo Moroka. His ability to play the scheming villain, with a disarming smile and cunning guile, will no doubt shine through as Khumo reaches for his vaulting ambition.
