Thuli Phongolo decided to open up about her love life on Twitter and shared what she wants in a man. Fans started weighing in and asking her what she did to get the healthy relationship that she is in now. Thuli clapped back at a follower who insinuated that she went out to the world looking for love.

South African actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo took to the Twitter streets to open up about her relationship status. Thuli has been linked with Duduzane Zuma as her boyfriend and Mzansi peeps are almost always left wondering who the star is actually dating.

The former Generations: The Legacy actress said she prefers to keep her love life private and off of social media. She snapped at a follower who wanted to give their own opinion on her relationships.
Thuli said that she does not want a man who is active on social media: “I really don’t want a man on social media! I’m always just laughing at the sh** that guys do on social media.”

After she made people aware that she is indeed in a relationship, her replies section was then flooded with relationship advice. Thuli then revealed that she did not actively seek out a relationship, it found her.

“I was just living my life, worried about me, my loved ones and plans!” she said.

A follower then came at her sideways and argued that Thuli attracted the relationship her way, not that she wasn’t actively looking for it. To which she replied:

“Don’t spin the wheel. You know exactly what you were implying and now that the response doesn’t suit your plot, you’re throwing toys about.”

“Seeing how hard it’s been for Rachel @rachel_kolisi has not been easy especially when I can’t physically be with her.

“And it’s definitely taken a toll on the kids not having their mom with us. “I’ve picked up all the household responsibility and for the first time ever, realise what it’s been like when I go on tours. It’s not easy.

“I know of so many people who are really suffering watching loved ones affected by Covid or they have physically been affected and want to remind us all it’s our responsibility to do everything we can to stop the spread.

“Thank you to all of the medical workers who are going above and beyond to care for our loved ones when we can’t.
“Let’s continue to remember the seriousness of this virus and do everything we can to protect those around us. Every time they hurt themselves and my immediate reaction has been to get up and go to them then I realise I can’t leave the room.

“And the days they’ve stood outside begging me to touch, kiss and hold them because they don’t understand. Honestly it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve experienced as a parent.

“I’m doing well otherwise, I’m still struggling with my chest – mostly at night, but grateful when I have time outside in the fresh air – the small things I usually take for granted.

Is Shauwn Mkhize leaving SA for Good?

Larger-than-life reality show star and astute entrepreneur Shauwn Mkhize, is on holiday mode because sis does not want to land herself in hot water with Black Twitter and law enforcement officials.

Shauwn who is living her best life in Dubai posted a series of Instagram posts giving us a glimpse of her vacay. In a post, she said she had to go on holiday because of the extended curfew announced by the country’s president Cyril Ramaphosa.

On Monday evening, the president moved the country to level 3 and implemented new lockdown restrictions. This is to limit super spreader events as the country coronavirus cases surge. The curfew has been extended from 9 pm to 4 am and Shauwn did not want to be locked up indoors.

In a post, she wished her followers a prosperous new year and thanked God for saving her life and protecting her family.

Is Shauwn Mkhize leaving SA for Good?

MamKhize recently received major backlash on social media after she was seen out and about attending events whilst the masses were avoiding super-spreader events to help flatten the curve of COVID-19. Social media users dragged her and she does not want to repeat the same mistake and she has opted to vacay in Dubai.

It seems Dubai is another favourite holiday destination to several celebrities as The Fergusons are currently taking over the country by storm. The power couple with their children, have been sharing their luxurious getaway through social media.

This is not the first time The Fergusons are on a vacation in Dubai. The country has clearly stolen their hearts because last year they were in Dubai as well. This is a much-deserved break to them especially after working tirelessly hard this year.

Today is the last day of the horrible 2020, I had to leave my country as we were supposed to sleep at 9 o’clock and didn’t want to get in trouble with black Twitter and our SA LAWS, cause I am a serious case of ADD at least to have one thing positive I will talk about that happened in 2020 fireworks display I promise to share if I find it, I love you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️and stay safe ??myworldmyrules#kwamamkhize. MOST IMPORTANTLY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GOD FOR SAVING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR DURING THIS TRYING TIMES ??????✊,” she wrote.

Actress and media personality Pearl Thusi clapped back at tweeps who said she hated mothers.

The commotion began after it was announced that Nigeria had placed restrictions on travel from SA amid the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

A Twitter user reacted to the news, saying Pearl and Bonang were “the only ones who go there”.

The Queen Sono star caught wind of the tweet and responded: “We are travelling with your mom.”

The insult didn’t go down well, with many on Twitter saying she was bringing negative energy to the TL. Other’s were just living for the chaos right before New Year’s!

See their responses below:

Pearl, no stranger to the heat Mzansi brings online, didn’t stay quiet for too long.

After a tweep said insulting parents was a big no-no, the former Quantico star reminded her followers that she is a momma of two.

“Am I not someone’s parent?” she tweeted.

In the past, Pearl has laughed off online hate.

In August the star was accused of being self-centred after she shared a joke with friend and comedian Mpho Pops.

“Wow some of y’all really obsessed with me. It’s so entertaining. That time y’all don’t even know my relationship and our private jokes sometimes don’t read well on Twitter also,” she said.

Dr Tumi’s Dad has died

Dr Tumi’s Dad has died

Dr Tumi’s Dad has died

The year 2020 has claimed so many lives due to Covid 19 and other natural causes. Dr Tumi announced yesterday that he lost his dad, Pastor MD Makweya.

Dr Tumi’s Dad has died

“Hi Fam. So sad to announce about the passing of my dear dad. He was such a beautiful gift to our family and the body of Christ. So humbled and honoured for the years God blessed me with him in my life. It was such a great honour to be called his son. One of the greatest gift was him raising me to know Christ and showing me the unfailing love of a father. This is such a great loss in my life and our family. I will deeply and greatly miss him. ” said Dr Tumi on Facebook.

Dr Tumi’s Dad has died

Everyone who knows Dr Tumi will tell that he is fond of his dad. He always speaks about how well and Godly he raised them and how he loved them. In an interview with Anele on Real Talk, Dr Tumi said his dad bought him his first keyboard when he was 9. He used to play the church keyboard that was kept at home but his hero dad then decided to buy him one because he could see that there is something musical in him. His dad always wanted him to be an academic but he also knew that he was going to be a musician. His late father was a pastor at Assemblies of God, a church-based in Seshego, Limpopo.

Pastor MD Makweya was supportive of Dr Tumi’s music calling and him and elders of the church always invited Dr Tumi to minister to them. “I was invited by the elders at Assemblies of God to perform in the church’s National Youth Convention in Thaba-Nchu, Free State,” he says. “Ministering in the church I grew up in was humbling. It brought all the beautiful childhood memories.” said Dr Tumi.

Born Tumisang Makweya, Dr Tumi studied medicine at the Medical University of Southern Africa (Mendusa) for six years. He started his own medical practice in Mabopane where he practiced for about 10 years before his music career took off. Earlier this year, Dr Tumi landed a helping hand in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. This was his way of giving back to the community. He volunteered at Tembisa Hospital and other local hospitals at their Covid-19 units.

Dr Tumi has not announced the cause of his dad’s death but has revealed that the burial will be limited to family only due to Covid restrictions. Condolences to The Makweya family at large and may Pastor MD Makweya rest in peace!
