Evicted #IdolsSA singers Nandi and Hope speak out: I'm done with Idols, I now want to be an actress

Nandi and Hope’s Idols SA journey has ended before it even got started after they were the first two to be eliminated as part of the reality TV show’s live round.

CeeJay, Kabelo, Lerato, Mpilwenhle, Noxolo, Nozi, Tesmin-Robyn, Thapelo, Ty Loner and Zee have made season 18’s coveted top 10, decided by 7.5-million viewer votes.

Speaking yesterday, Hope said she believed that she did all that she could do to stay in the competition.

“For the most part, I am content with how things turned out even though it doesn’t favour me. I put in a lot of time and effort, and overall it didn’t happen; it stings because I wanted it so badly,” said 23-year-old entertainer from Pretoria.

“I believe being evicted last night is God’s way of re-directing me to something else, in essence… It’s a chapter that’s closed and I’m ready to open a new one.”

Hope further described her journey on Idols SA as eye-opening and a testament to how eager she is to make her mark in the entertainment industry.

“My future hopes and dreams are to one day tour the world with my music and try my hand at acting on the theatre stage and the small screen,” she said.

“Seeing that I got to perform with Langa Mavuso on the Idols stage, I would like to collaborate with him on a song that we both have worked on. Internationally I would like to work with Brandy, her mastery of songs is admirable plus she’s been my all-time favourite.”

Accepting the outcome of Sunday night’s elimination wasn’t easy for Nandi who had hoped to do more in the competition. “I do understand that there could only be one winner, so I have no choice but to be content with how things have turned out,” said the 21-year-old who looks up to her musician father Shaluza Max.

The soulful singer said there was nothing more she could have done to stay in the competition as she “put her heart and soul in each and every performance”.

Nandi’s biggest highlight on the show was sharing the stage with amapiano sensation Boohle, an experience she plans to take with her going into the entertainment industry.

“Going forward, I will be working on perfecting my voice, finding my sound in the music scene and working hard till I see my name in lights,” she said.

Senzo Meyiwa trial: Lawyer for 4 accused wants court to probe any State delays

Senzo Meyiwa trial: Lawyer for 4 accused wants court to probe any State delays

The legal representatives for four of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial wants any further delays by the State in securing witnesses to be investigated by the Pretoria High Court.

The trial could not be heard on Monday as there were delays in getting the third State witness from KwaZulu-Natal to Pretoria.

The witness is the first among the eyewitnesses who were in the house when Senzo Meyiwa was shot in October 2014.

Five men are being tried for a robbery that claimed the life of the Bafana Bafana captain at the home of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo.

“We do abide by the Constitution, however, we would like to give the State a notice in case this situation might happen again. We give the State notice in terms of Section 342A, your lordship,” said TT Thobane.

After Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela granted the State an overnight postponement, the lawyer for four of the accused, TT Thobane, rose giving the State this notice.

In the event that there are further delays in securing a witness, Thobane wants the court to host an inquiry to determine the cause of the delay and to make a ruling.

Meanwhile, Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela has cautioned State advocate, George Baloyi, against any further delays.

“The fact that the flight was not available simply says that flight arrangements should have been made earlier,” the judge said.

The matter resumes on Tuesday morning and one of the people who saw Meyiwa being shot will testify.

Before his relationship with Robyn got him engaged by social media in-laws, NaakMusiq dated actress/model Nandi Mbatha. You might know Nandi from her role as Simi on Mzansi Magic’s show Isithembiso.

Diep City actress Luyanda Shezi opens up on how she rejected R5 000 per week to be a tlof tlof worker

25-year-old Diep City actress Luyanda Shezi has detailed how she escaped being a s.e.x slave. It happened between 2017 and 2018. At that time she was a student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College campus.

“I had friends and from time to time we’d go out to have some fun. But this one time, we were joined by some men. We formed a friendship with them, one of them took a special interest in me. At first, I didn’t mind. We became close friends,” she recalled.

Things took another direction when these new special friends invited her to his place.

“During our chats he made his intentions clear that he wants to turn me into his s.e.x slave, he said he wants to sleep with me on weekly basis and he’d pay R5 000 each time. I was angry and offended by this. I turned him down but he wouldn’t stop. He kept insisting and begging me to sleep with him, but I kept pushing him away. Eventually, I blocked him and made sure I stay away from him,” explained Luyanda.

“Looking back, I can see that I was just one of his many potential victims. Through our interactions, he’d seen that I’m poor and I was likely to give in to his demand. I am glad I stood my ground,” she continued.

Luyanda plays Lungile Jele on Diep City. Her storyline is very similar to what she went through some years ago.

“Lungile is 17 years old. Nomakorinte has already sold her for s.e.x to Mr X. Unfortunately she’s not aware of it. All she sees is Mr X’s generosity, only if she knew. The current storyline took me back to those days when I went through the same. I’m happy to play this role because it shows real life, it also teaches young girls to be vigilant at all times. Not everyone has good intentions, many of these good-looking men are perpetrators of gender-based violence. I was lucky to escape but I know young women who are still trapped in that kind of life,” she said.
