Zola Nombona on hiding her pregnancy: I was uncomfortable

Zola Nombona on hiding her pregnancy: I was uncomfortable

It’s not always the right time for one to share the news that you are expecting a bundle of joy, especially when you are a celebrity as followed as Zola Nombona, and she knows that first hand.

But now that she’s shared her great news, she’s opened up about how hard it was to conceal her pregnancy.

“Hiding a pregnancy is not a joke, my darling,” she began.

Zola remembered one time before she shared her baby bump with the world when she had to be strategic about what she wore because she didn’t want the world to know yet.

“I remember going to this event and feeling like my pants were going to rip. I was uncomfortable. Everything felt tight. I couldn’t even hear the music (which was loudly deafening, if I might add) All I wanted to do was to go home.” she said.

The actress has a huge following on social media, and her fans have showered her with nothing but love since hearing there’s a baba on the way.

Plus she looks amazing. Her preggy glow is too much for these streets!

Actress Zenande Mfenyana hits back at Fat shaming critics

Every time trolls see an opportunity to attack, they never leave any stone unturned. Over the past few weeks, fans have been speculating on whether the actress is pregnant or a new mom because of how she seems to appear onscreen.

Whilst Zenande Mfenyana has not spoken out denying or confirming the rumors and speculations. Black Twitter has not stopped talking. One tweep decided to ask the actress the reason behind her supposed weight gain and it wasn’t well-received.

“You have added a bit of weight lately. Is that good living?”, the tweep asked. In response, Zenande savagely responded with “voetsek”. When another tweep commented saying calling her a mzalwane, she gave him the middle finger.

We love a clap backing queen.

What happens behind the Scenes – Mafikizolo’s Theo tries KISSING his partner Nhlanhla (Watch)

If friendship goals was a person, definitely these two would take the trophy. Mafikizolo duo Theo Kgosingwe and Nhlanhla Nciza have been at it for over twenty years and their relationship has always been one to admire.

In interviews, the duo describes their relationship as brother and sister and the best of friends. But we love it also when they play love interests in their music videos.

In their new music video for Ngeke Balunge, they had a kissing scene in which they played well but the behind the scenes bloopers are hilarious. Nhlanhla shared a clip on Instagram in which she was dodging Theo‘s kisses with the director assuring her that he won’t kiss her.

Following the video, she hilariously captioned, ‘behind the scenes of Ngeke Balunge music video shoot???????‘.

Anele Mdoda opens up about her bad parenting skill

Anele Mdoda opens up about her bad parenting skill

Anele Mdoda has opened up about parenting, telling her followers about a lesson she learned from her four-year-old recently. The radio host said she has a habit of making decisions for her son, Alakhe, without involving him.

“I have this terrible habit of deciding on Alakhe’s behalf. Example: I will ask everyone else what they want and I decide for him.”

Mdoda said Alakhe had noticed and “reprimanded” her.

“He asked me to please ask him what he wants.”

She said he was too young to be consulted, but nearly cried when she realized her error.

Other moms then shared their experiences.

The stories ranged from two-year-olds refusing to be pierced to an eight-year-old saying his mother’s words did not represent him.

When my sister was 7 she decided to say she’s allergic to oats because she didn’t like how other people cooked it. We found out the truth 3 years ago when she said she told people she’s allergic coz she wanted to eat corn flakes instead ??
She only eats oats if mom cooks it.

“…people who once trusted you with R10 million or R5 million for their projects, when you are dying why would they ever give you a contract? It was the challenge of losing a lot”, she added.

In another interview with TimesLive Sophie opened up about her husband Max Lichaba still receiving messages from people telling him he’s with a dying woman.

Actress Shonisani Masutha launches a braid collection: ‘I wanted to be more than just the face’

Actress Shonisani Masutha launches a braid collection: 'I wanted to be more than just the face'

Isithembiso actress, Shonisani Masutha is proving to be a queen of many firsts.
From becoming the first African actress to star in a Bollywood series to now becoming the first South African actress to launch her own hair extensions, the Shonisani Braid

Speaking to DRUM about her hair extensions, the actress revealed that when she was approached by hair company, Afrotex SA, to become a brand ambassador for their hair, she wanted to be more than just the face of the hair.

“For the past year and a half, Afrotex has been sending me hair and I’d post it on my social media networks. One day the head of the company requested a meeting with me where he told me about new hair with superb quality that they wanted me to be the face and name of. I was super excited and I told him that I’d like to be part of the business and not just the face. I wanted to have an input in the design of the hair and the colours and what the hair should look like. They allowed me to and I took it running from there,” she says.

In a statement, Managing Director of Afrotex SA, Minseek Kim, said that the collaboration cames as a result of Masutha’s growing fame and acclaim.

“Afrotex could not think of a better person to collaborate with, Shonisani Masutha has broken borders, having fans from across the African continent as well as the Indian audience,” he said.

And if you’re wondering how different the Shonisani Braid is from other hair extension brands, Shonisani shared that the Shonisani Braid is 31 inches long and comes in 17 different colours.

“The fibre is extremely light and not heavy to wear at all. It is quite unique since there is currently no 31-inch-long braid in the market. It comes in 17 colours and is itch-free. Consumers also have the option to order the hair online and have it delivered to their doorstep,” she says.

Shonisani also revealed that all the hair from Afrotex is free from chemicals, making their braids itch-free and lightweight.

Taking to her Twitter page, Shonisani posted a list of the different shops where the braids would be available.

WATCH: Thuso Mbedu having a blast with The Underground Railroad cast

Actress Thuso Mbedu flew the South African flag high when she bagged the lead role in the international TV series The Underground Railroad – and it seems the actress is having a blast shooting the series.

In her latest Instagram post, the actress who now lives in the US, posted a series of videos in which she and other members of the cast can be seen being goofy, singing along to some karaoke and hanging out.

In the caption, she expressed how safe she felt around her cast members and how she was happy to have them in her life.

“I feel safe enough with this group of people to yank my wig off in the middle of the night (because I was sweating bullets ??) and to literally throw it on top of my hat for the pictures (that I forced myself into) at the end of the night… these are the types of people you want in your life. Love you guys!!!!!!!,” she wrote.

The Underground Railroad, which will be directed by Barry Jenkins, is set to follow Cora (Thuso) who has escaped from her plantation in Georgia and makes a desperate journey to the South, but she soon discovers much more than anticipated: a secret network of tracks underground as well as tunnels.

Take a look at the videos below.

‘I’VE NEVER HAD A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION’ – GOGO AGED 102!

'I'VE NEVER HAD A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION' - GOGO AGED 102!

IN ALL of her 102 years, she has never had a birthday celebration.

“I don’t even know how it’s like. But I want to have a big party before I die,” said gogo Tshunqani Mseswa from Nikhwe in Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape.

“I want to invite the whole community to celebrate with me,” she said.

“I never drank alcohol, and respecting others has kept me alive until now,” she said.

Gogo Tshunqani was blessed with 15 children. Six of them – three sons and three daughters – are still alive.

“I think I have close to 50 grandkids and 30 great-grandchildren,” she said.

Gogo suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes, but still walks unaided.

“I don’t think there’s anyone as old as I in Lusikisiki. That’s why I want to have a big celebration,” she said.

“I will die a happy gogo if were SunReaders to help me.

“I don’t even know how it feels to have a birthday party in one’s honour because I’ve never had one myself.”

Wiseman Fundisile Mseswa (60) said his mum liked to do things on her own.

“We’re grateful she’s still alive. It’s a blessing for us and our kids to still have a mother and grandmother.

“She gives each of us duties and mine is to make tea for her. I know how she likes it.”

Fundisile said the whole family wished for her to have a birthday celebration on 22 July.

“She wants to celebrate it with the whole community,” he said.
