Nandi Madida has recently revealed that she had engaged with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, saying she was deeply honoured to speak with him. She revealed this after releasing her song which inspires body positivity, Organic.

“I had the honour of speaking to CEO and Co-founder of twitter @Jack about a month ago (I still can’t believe it) and it’s just beautiful to see the Global community he’s created with Twitter. Today I experienced how small the world can be with the release of Organic. Big up bro,” she wrote.

Jack has also had a conversation with media personality, Bonang Matheba and they also reportedly met in person. Bonang expressed how exciting it was for her.

Bonang was seen hanging out with Twitter CEO and co-founder, Jack Dorsey, at #OneTeam 2020 Conference. She was invited as one of the guest speakers along side fellow panelists author, Shea Serrano, and actress and media personality, Jameela Jamil.

“It is such an honour to be in a room with unique and great voices who shape powerful conversations that are important and interesting. This has definitely given me a new perspective on connecting with people all around the world,” Bonang was quoted saying.

Nandi Madida’s latest release is produced by her husband, Zakes Bantwini, and it was also co-written by her 3-year-old son Organic. The musician shared that the single is dedicated to the late Sara Baartman, and speaks about the authenticity of African bodies whilst promoting self-love.

“My new single ORGANIC is dedicated to the late Sara Baartman who was born in South Africa. We see her body being appropriated in mainstream media, but she was never celebrated but rather tortured and abused for her African curves that you see so many emulating today. OUR ANCESTOR went through so much,” she wrote. “The reason I wrote #Organic is because African women have been Appropriated but never appreciated. Everything we have is organic and we are truly magic. This single is dedicated to Sara Baartman.”

In her movement to really start a trend where women of all shapes and sizes embrace their bodies, she has urged her female followers to re-create her single cover, using bedsheets. Her followers have been posting such pictures and the musician proudly re-posts them.

The Black Is King Star recently signed to SONY Music and Organic is her first single since signing to the label. Her announcement was coupled with a snippet from her interview with Slikour. She discussed the extent of her partnership with Sony Music, hoping that her fans would appreciate the new direction she has decided to take with her career.

Nandi Madida loses all to Zakes Bantwini – New details emerge as marriage ends

Award-winning artist Zakes Bantwini and his wife Nandi Mngoma dropped a bombshell when they applied for a court order to remove the songstress from their multimillion-rand joint estate. The showbiz’s power couple’s joint estate includes a R3.5-million house in KwaZulu-Natal and a R1.5-million property in Gauteng.

celebgossip.co.za has learnt that the couple, who got married in community of property four years ago, petitioned the Joburg High Court last week to dissolve their marriage.

In his affidavit seen by Sunday World, Bantwini said he and Mngoma erroneously entered into in community of property marriage because of their “misunderstanding with the marriage officer”.

He is pleading with the court to allow them to convert their union to out of community of property.

Bantwini, who is the first applicant in the case, said he got hitched to Mngoma on June 8 2016 in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, in community of property.

He said before their marriage, he and Mngoma, who is the second applicant in the case, had planned to be married out of community of property without the application of the accrual system.

Bantwini’s affidavit reads: “And as a result of misunderstanding between ourselves and the marriage officer, who conducted the marriage ceremony, we understood incorrectly as it now appears that he would be in position to ensure that our marriage would be out of community of property without the applica- tion of the accrual system.

“At all material times, it was the intention of the second applicant and myself to be married out of community of property without application of the accrual system.”

Bantwini also said he only discovered when he was discussing their “personal financial affairs”

Power couple have cited ‘misunderstanding’ with Mngoma’s bank that they were married in community of property. The muso, real name

Zakhele Madida, said Mngoma, who was the face of Legit and iconic soap brand Lux, doesn’t have assets to her name.

He, meanwhile, owns a R3.4 million house in Morn- ingside, KwaZulu-Natal, and a R1.5 million crib in Thornhill, Modderfontein, in Joburg.

He added that he and Mngoma would enter into a post-nuptial notarial contract and would not prefer the accrual system to apply into post-nuptial notarial contract because they individually have successful careers and independent sources of income.

Mngoma, the Skhanda Love singer, signed a confirmatory affidavit agreeing to the dissolution of their in community of property marriage. The couple has two children.]

Nandi Madida’s plan to motivate children backfired and she or he ended up being at the center of criticism for her “age limit success” comments.

The media personality triggered a Twitter debate when she shared motivational tweets about how people should have their lives sorted by the age of 30.

Nandi first started her motivational tweets by explaining how she often speaks and drops words of wisdom to children who work on her company.

The media personality explained that she’d caution them to understand that their 20s were the foremost critical stage of their lives and that they shouldn’t squander opportunities.

In a tweet that has since been widely criticized, Nandi urged the younger generation to require life seriously in order that they didn’t have regrets later in their lives.

“I always say this to children who add my company. The ages 18-25 yrs are so critical. If you waste that point being a rebel wasting ur parents money, being cool, hanging around wrong circles etc. You waste such a lot time and before you recognize it you’re 30 with nothing to point out for your life.”

The songstress explained that being a woman in her early 30s, most of the successful people she knew attained their success because they were focused.

“I say this as a 32-year-old woman … all the people I know who are successful were all very focused when they were young, still had fun but were humble enough to listen to those who had lived life a little longer. Listening to my parents’ good advice saved me from so much.”

The media personality said being “cool” didn’t pay the bills but focus and hard work did.

“If you’re 18-25 years … please don’t waste your precious life being too cool to work hard, coolness doesn’t pay bills, doesn’t help you achieve your dreams and it certainly won’t make you a legend. Be humble and stay focused.”

Nandi ended her series of tweets with words of encouragement that those who were in their 30s still had a chance to get things back in their favour by simply taking responsibility for their mistakes.

Though it seemed as if Nandi was coming from a good place, many tweeps felt she was “unrealistic” with her comments and was coming from a place of “privilege” with her comments. Others felt she was being misunderstood.

Here are some of the reactions:
