Monday World: politics of Celebville

Favourite this post


Muvhango couple Tsholofelo Monedi and Dingaan Mokebe have parted ways.  The Muvhango stars have been dating for over four years. Makisto has it on high esteem that Dingaan was immediately smitten when Tsholofelo replaced the old Meme. Dingaan admitted to Drum magazine in 2007 that he was going to befriend the new Meme on a personal level to make their work easy.

James and Meme
Love on set is over: Dingaan and Tsholofelo are no longer an item

Little did we know that he will make her more than just friends. You see, because of the nature of my work, I respect them. I have in the past called the two of them o talk about their love and they asked me to respect their privacy and I did just that. Yesterday the Sunday Sun reported that the two are no longer seeing each other. The paper alleges that Dingaan cheated on Tsholo, whom they have a child together and she wouldn't have any of it and called it quits. The paper goes on to allege that Tsholo is now seeing a Metro FM DJ. 

When called for comment, Dingaan only confirmed that it's over between them and wouldn't shed any light on the alleged cheating and was only willing to say, he cannot say things that will suit him and Tsholo needs to give her side of the story. Tsholo said she didn't want to discuss her personal life and doesn't owe the media and the public anything.

Tsholo at Saftas 2011
Mina ke shem, I would love this lady to bits and will ensure we sort out ama issues wethu, but then again, what do I know?

I am just saddened because mina shem I am of the opinion that the two make a great couple, both on and off set. Akere on the show Meme is James's ex. I wish them all the best with their love endevours. Love is unfathomable and mina ke shem, I don't know what love is and the only thing I am sure of about it is that love hurts. I think being single is best.

Minnie Dlamini
Mini brand scoring big: Minnie is going higher and higher

Congratulations to Minnie Dlamini who is building a brand out of her name. The mini star is set to be the new face of Legit. Yes baby, this is the same store that Bonang and Noni Gasa were the faces of. Sunday World reports that Minnie will be unveiled as the new face of the chain store on 8 September. Hush, you can never put a good woman down. 

Mpho Tsedu
Lucky to be alive: Edward survived mugging gun drama

Aih ke, what has South Africa come to mara hhmm? Why can't we all work and earn an honest living? Even if you work as a petrol attendant or a cleaner in a mall, you are still making money hle black people. I am saying this because Edward nearly got shot, reports the Sunday World. He was mugged on gunpoint and had he not pleaded not to be killed, he would have met the same fate that met our fallen star Lucky Dube. We are happy for Mpho Tsedu for having made it out alive. God is great nina yazi.

Moseneke
To accept nomination or not: You be the judge

The Sunday Times reports that Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke isn't interested in becoming the next Chief Justice of the country. The Judicial Service Commission appears to be favouing him over President JZ's choice of Judge Mogoeng Mogoeng. Those against Judge Mogoeng argue that he hasn't delivered any note worthy sentencing and that since he is some sort of a homophobe and an ordained pastor of a very traditionally religious church, he may step on the rights of homosexuals.

Juju Drama
ANC in-fighting aint new, mocks Zapiro

Moving right along, mina yazi I am just sick and tired of the media taking on Juju now. As if the alleged tender strings are not enough, President JZ and ANC Secretary General  Gwede Mantashe are allegedly in a bid to muzzle Juju by stripping him of his king making powers. This comes after reports that Juju is pushing for former ANCYL President and now Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula to become the ANC's Secretary General come 2012. Juju is also on a mission to bring a new President and oust JZ in 2012's national elective conference of the ruling party. It is also worth mentioning that next year, the ANC will be celebrating its century in existance.

DA and ANC
Regime change talks: Modelling or vocal, you politicise

Those in the know allege that JZ fears Juju and the Botswana comments disciplinary action is a bid to weaken the king maker. ANCYL has come out subtly with its guns blazing saying if Juju is charged for Botswana regime change comments, then the entire league must be charged coz those comments were made as a collective and not by Juju as an individual.

Godzille

Not only does the DA want to rule, given the recent media reports, we can safely assume they also want to engage in tender strings, akere some allege they are jealous of Malema

DA's Helen Zille has defended some multi-million rand tender in the Western Cape. Mina shem their story is boring me and I haven't followed it. However,  I do know that the Sunday Times got their facts wrong in terms of billions instead of million as they only worked on estimations on their story and not the exact figures. The paper apologised to the DA on front page for getting the figure wrong. However, the tender is still fishy and it seems there is some corruption in the DA. It just goes to show, whether Black or White people are in power, curruption will still be rampant. Is it true that our hero Thuli Madonsela will be investigating the DA's tender deal? I say let's dance to her investigation like something else...

Redi for Destiny
Rare Destiny: Redi is on Destiny cover again since 2008

Redi Thlabi is currently on the cover of Destiny mag. I didn't subscribe to the mag so I just had to buy it on the shelves. Redi talks about her business and her media company which produces Redi on Mzansi. She also says she would like to give up 80% of what she is doing to have children. In the mag, Redi also talks in great detail about her radio show and how her week looks like. 

Mina I thought I was busy because I have so many roles I am playing, I have a job, I blog, I freelance, I am studying, I am a father, I gym twice daily and that consumes my time. I wonder how Redi manages to do all she does and still participate in marathons and charity events. Oh ok, konje she isn't a mom yet. Tjo wena, being a parent is a full time job.

DestinyMan Fresh
It's a Fresh World: DJ Fresh talks business

I was so happy when I found DestinyMan in my mailbox last week. DJ Fresh is on the cover of the magazine and he talks about his work, company and how he puts a positive spin on things. Mina ke shame, I am in love with DestinyMan, it's an empowering magazine, at least for me. I think since the Drum magazine has recveived a lot of criticism from its readers, it can tailor-make some of Destiny's editorial content to suits its target readers. Drum readers are crying out for empowering articles in the mag.

Fresh also talks about how he experiences some sort of Afrophobia from really professionals in the industry coz he’s from Botswana. He also talks about the DJ Fresh Foundation which helps with bursaries to academically deserving student and talks about love and his love for developing South Africa. I wonder if DestinyMan didn’t feature him on the cover after Drum mag had him on their cover earlier this year. 

Drum editor Khosi
Drum editor: Khosi wants to be famous too

Still on Drum, mina ke shem I don't know why a magazine's Facebook page would have a glam picture of its editor instead of the mag logo or the current cover of the mag. It doesn't make sense. What happened to brand identity and speaking in one voice when it comes to collateral material? It seems to me that someone's role model is Khanyi Dlomo CEO of Ndalo Media. Khanyi can put herslef on the cover of her magazine at any given time and it sells like hot cakes. Is someone wanting to fill those big shoes?

The media is out to get Malema...yesterday Deborah Patta was the anchor on e-news in the morning, she had different political analysts, even Justice Malala.  Zuma thinks that he has got him cornered but i think that he will come out victoriously...  It remains to be seen if he will be disciplined because the YL have called a meeting with the mother body to discuss this matter before the proposed disciplinary hearing scheduled for August.  

My heart bleeds for Malema, i hope that the hawks find no wrongdoing and hope that he was paying tax all along.  Thuli Madonsela should watch her back, she started with the General and now our young cadre Malema...If the ANC disciplines him and suspends, they would make Malema's detractors happy, the ANC needs Malema, so do most of us.  Malema, we will not let them silence you..

I do not know what is Zuma's problem, mos he had his turn why should he not give others a chance???  Does he deserve a second term???  Malema is right, there should be a mixture of both old and young blood, Gwede is too old, he should accept that today's politics is not the same as that of yesteryear.

ANC is f**cked up shem..let them fight each other like lunacs.

there is nothing with what Thuli is doing = she is doing her job as the public protector- like she said, they are forced to open a file on Malema following accusation that has been made about his trust which is correct. 

thuli is doing a great job. 

as for Malema - he is not going anywhere because everyone will be exposed in ANC that is why. i bet he knows everything about everyone in ANC that they all know they will be opening a can of worms especially Zuma - with all his family taken care of by the state plus his cousins owning mines everywhere its goin to be hard on him

I didn't know dingaan and tsholo were an item and have a child together nogal.. I hope they move past this cheating and get back together. . Tsholo should know most men cheat.. She's very beautiful she wouldn't have a problem finding a replacement. Guys I cnt remember the old meme who was she konje? They should just leave my man juju alone hawu don't they get tired of picking on him.. Fresh has been in SA for so long do people really still know his from botswana..

I heard sometime ago that Dingaan & Tsholo were dating and had a child together and have never heard any bad publicity about them, shem hope they work past this and become a couple again.

Kikikiii, tjo at this Drum editor, dont worry ausi you already a celebrity nakho i am already typing comments about you.

ANC never tried to stop Juju before when he was saying anything he wanted to say and why are they becoming strict now, is it because he has starting talking badly about JZ. They should have discplined this baby before he turned 10 now that he is 15 and out of control,

if u think Thabo Mbeki's ousting was humiliating wait for Zuma's.

the same way angene ngakhona uzophuma ngaloyondlela

municipal worker's strike:
year in and year out same *bleep!* happens and u'd think these ppl will learn come next election the union bosses will tell their members to vote 4 the very same government tht ds not want 2 giv 'em an increase where's the sense in that

i thought u vote 4 them cos they r in alliance therefore they can sit and agree on 1 thing but no it does not look like & who's goin 2 suffet @ the end workers, no work no pay shem i feel 4 our ppl sometyms they r bn used


love both Redi and Fresh both very solid in their marriages at least that's what they'd like us 2 bliv

My heart bleeds for Malema, i hope that the hawks find no wrongdoing and hope that he was paying tax all along.

Paying tax from bribe funds?
the man earns 20k a month,any fund above that needs to be accounted for.

Redi is my favourite South African female professional.
I am in awe of that lady.She seems stubborn but intelligent.
she might not be the most attractive,might not have thunder thighs and hips (that i love) but if their is one woman i would love to have out for dinner in this country,it is Redi Tlhabi.
These are the kind of role models that should be shown up for growing young girls.Not all these egg heads whose talents lie between their thighs,on their weaves and in what they wear.
Redi,may your dreams come through.

Could you please have a interview with the editor and give us the real story behind Facebook.
This is a good idea, phela mina yazi shem I love iDrum magazine and it will be great if I did an interview with her and I will be asking her tough questions, the best way I know how lol.

@Makiso

I think you need to get your facts straight on the DRUM part. Well I think you should do some proper background check before you make unfound statements such as:  Still on Drum, mina ke shem I don't know why a magazine's Facebook page would have a glam picture of its editor instead of the mag logo or the current cover of the mag. It doesn't make sense.

Let me make sense for you then: The editor's pic only goes up if/when she is ONLINE on Fridays when she chats to her readers. You can go to that page any time you will see the current cover as a profile pic.

makisto
23 Aug 2011 10:42

You can go to that page any time you will see the current cover as a profile pic.
I have noticed that pkpage. It still doesn't make sense. My full time job entails a lot of social media and how to engage with the public in social media and how to handle critical "social media animals" as we call them in the industry. 

Putting your picture on your brand is not recommended and can be detrimental to your brand. Instead of her having her picture there, rather have another page that says Drum Editor on Fridays and already it says to people that they can engage with her on Fridays. 

Therefore, given the fact that I have a professional knowledge of social media when it comes to business, I have done my research for taking Khosi on. 

Mna shem I love Drum magazine and if I didn't love that mag, I wouldn't offer them constructive criticism. Do you know that my company pays thousands to have consultants come talk to us about social media. So, I am offering them free professional advice. It's from one professional to another, or at least I would like to think so.

I admire both Redi and Fresh, hard workers, solid and good role models...

Mathaz: I do not know what is Zuma's problem, mos he had his turn why should he not give others a chance??? Does he deserve a second term??? 

I am saddened by this statement, with this mentality that its about getting your turn to embezzle state funds, the black community which is the one severely affected by lack of service delivery will always remain poor....

Congratulations to Sbu indeed.@posh...it's not about looting of state funds but rather about potential and vision.It's no secret that Zuma was elected coz they knew that he was popular and ordinary folk felt they at least had a leader whom 1.Was not educated;wealthy. 2.Makes silly mistakes like the rest of us. 3.Was a "victim" of a political conspiracy.The ANC needed Zuma then and he has fulfilled his purpose,it's time to dedela abanye or something of that effect. Comrade Malema has got my support.

Comrade Malema has got my support.

i don't even know where to start with this analysis.
so we need to start electing leaders who confirm our inadequacies?
after Zuma we need to find another uneducated man/woman with more baggages than he can handle?talking about his wealth,how was it achieved?he probably inherited a trust fund from his late father or was doing business while in prison in Robben Island?
Every politican is a victim of political conspiracy,so i wonder why Zuma is any different and should be treated differently because he was caught on the wrong side of the divide.
We need to go past this idea of electing leaders just because they are popular and because they know how to make the toyi toying crowd sawy to the beat and look for men/women who will deliver our communities from darkness and poverty.


I do not know what is Zuma's problem, mos he had his turn why should he not give others a chance??? Does he deserve a second term???

Jesus and i wept!!!
He has had his turn at inept and ineffectual leadership.it is time to elect another inept leader to have his turn at the feeding trough.Eish! i need to throw up.

@mbulela...please go ahead and throw up lol...that is the sad reality of South African politics and sadly leaders are not chosen according to their values,belief system and moral codes.

24 Aug 2011 13:33

@maddie im addicted to true love ...i think she(Sbu) did good after Dorah Sithole turned true love to cook book,  i also liked her choice of people who appeared on cover page

sometimes i dont even read the whole mag but i still by it...bad

mbulela
24 Aug 2011 14:30

@mathaz,not even bothered about values, belief system and moral codes.
can we at least have leaders who have a plan and a vision for the masses?
is that too much to ask for?
