Nollywood actress, Chioma Ifemeludike has posted a lengthy message online in reaction to the Nigeria Pastor Elijah Emenendu who had anal s3x with three brothers saying he was merely releasing power into them through the anu.s.

Reports surfaced earlier this week that the Nigerian pastor has had interc0urse with the boys severally until one of them decided to let out the secret as he could not take it any longer.

According to reports, Emenendu whose church is situated in the Ajeromi area of Ajegunle first slept with the eldest sibling after prophesying that God wants him to quit internet fraud activities before extending it to the others.

Reacting to this, Chioma Ifemeludike slammed the cleric while labeling him as a cursed man with mental issues and warned parents to be careful of the men of God they entrust their children with.

She also advised women who jump from church to church looking for miracles and making their pastors demi gods.

Chioma posted; “This is such a disgusting story to read today on the news. I hope this man is locked up forever and he never sees the light of day.

This man (pastor) has mental problem, he is cursed and unfortunately their are thousands of them today parading themselves as “men of god”, their members worship and can defend them with their lives. The number of churches and god of men in Nigeria both offline and online is disturbing, this should remind us of the signs to look out for in the last days before the coming of our lord Jesus Christ.

Dear women, stop jumping from one ministry, crusade, church etc. to another, exposing your kids to perverts,your homes to false prophecies and demonic doctrines. God can answer you even in your bedroom, get on your knees, pray , read your bible, live a holy life even if you must attend a church because the bible says iron sharpenth iron then ask God for the spirit of discernment, Find a bible living church (by their fruits you shall know them), stop looking for quick miracles and people to foresee your future. Leave your future alone, God left it a misery for a reason. Ana’epio yali.”

South African Singer Phelo Bala has activated his Instagram account after going MIA for a couple of weeks. As he celebrates his birthday today, he has taken to his Instagram account to pen a heartfelt message to himself.

Having struggled with depression since he was 16 years old, he said he didn’t think he would live another year. “So many times I thought I wouldn’t see another year. So many times I wished I didn’t… Living with severe depression since I was 16 and somehow I’m still standing and somehow fighting my way through this thing called life.

“I’m learning to love myself and be kinder to myself. Though I have many reasons not to celebrate. I have so much more to be grateful for. I guess God is not through with me just yet. Happy 31st Birthday to me,” he wrote.
The TV host recently had an interview with Isolezwe, where he confirmed that they are no longer together. He said he would like to get married before “As a person who was previously married, I will get married again because I love marriage and love. The problem is not in love or marriage, it’s with people,” he said.

Phelo recently celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary. At the time Moshe was on vacation in Zanzibar with his friends and it appears their relationship had already taken a dark turn as he did not celebrate the special day with Phelo. Instead, he gave his fans a glimpse of his vacation while Phelo gushed about him on social media.

“Happy 2nd year wedding anniversary, love @moshendiki . Can’t believe we’ve made it this far…I think you don’t know how strong you are to handle someone like me until Moshe tells you so. I’m an extremist and at times a gentleman. Sometimes I’m laughing with you, other times I’m so wrong but you try your best to keep us going. I love you and I mean it! I pray that God keeps you around with me in time for you to see His glory in my life,” he captioned the post.

A Netflix documentary looking to seek who exactly killed Senzo Meyiwa has been received with both positive and negative reactions from the public at large. One person who is also not so keen on seeing the documentary come to light is Zandie Khumalo who says this is nothing but a money-making scheme.

Speaking to a local publication, Zandie Khumalo reacted to the news of this documentary which is slated to be released on April 7, by saying she wants no parts in the film.

Zandie apparently said the documentary will not help the situation in any way and does not need to clear her name concerning the death of the goalie.

“I don’t think there’s anything a documentary can do to help the situation, it’s people just making money out of an unfortunate situation and I don’t need to clear my name for anything,” she told the publication.

Zandie distanced herself from the documentary saying nobody approached her for a feature or comments.

“Nobody approached me. No feelings really. I don’t even know what it’s really about so it’s hard for me to feel anything.”

Zandie does however wish for her name to not be mentioned in the doccie, “All I’m hoping is that my name won’t be on the doccie without my consent because then I will have a problem.”

The songstress then added that her team has contacted Netflix team to find out if she will be mentioned anywhere and they are waiting for comment on that.

The documentary is directed by Sara Blecher and produced by Thandi Davids, Neil Brandt, and Tendeka Matatu. It will look into events which transpired and find out whether it was a botched robbery or what.

Senzo’s family will not rest until justice is served and taking to the media was Senzo’s brother who told Daily Sun that Kelly Khumalo, did not kill Senzo but she knows the person who did.

“But they choose to hide it. We don’t know whether they were threatened or what the case is, but the story that they gave us was cooked up,” he said. “We know who pulled the trigger. Police know it too but for some reason they won’t arrest the person,” he said.

Two years ago, Kelly’s name got dragged so much to the point where she issued a statement distancing herself. According to Sunday World, Kelly’s legal representation Magdalene Moonsamy, stated:

“Our client notes the recent developments of which at this sad time allowed her the opportunity to remain private in the best interest of herself and children especially that of the daughter she has with Mr Meyiwa.”

Additionally stating, “We wish to place it on record that our client is not implicated nor charged in this matter and is therefore not a suspect,” she said responding to the NPA’s leaked document pointed that Khumalo was also on the police radar.”

They wanted me to stay, but they later gave me their blessing stating the move will be for my growth.

Some sections of the media had reported that Luphahla had been sacked prior to joining Highlanders.

The former Warriors winger joined Bosso barely 24 hours after his alleged sacking by the Mike Madoda-owned Golden Eagles.

The rising cost of fuel and fertiliser could negatively impact tobacco production next season which may result in reduced yields.

Supply chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war are expected to push up the cost of tobacco production as the prices of inputs soar, farmers have warned.

Speaking in an interview with Business Times, the Zimbabwe Tobacco Association (ZTA) CEO Rodney Ambrose said:

With the Russia – Ukraine war, costs are estimated to increase even further and prices paid for tobacco this season has to also take this into account.

Ambrose noted that the recent increase in the price of fuel has resulted in the local cost of flue-cured tobacco production rising by 8.3%.

He warned that the increase in tobacco production costs may see growers turning to food and export crops.

Tobacco is Zimbabwe’s fourth-largest foreign currency earner.

The war in Eastern Europe may also result in countries dependent on food crops imports, offering higher incentives and prices on food crops. Said, Ambrose:

This may see a further drop in flue-cured production in 2023 as ably resourced growers consider reducing their tobacco hectarage in favour of the attractive food crops.

This could be an option for growers in Zimbabwe, Brazil, USA, and Zambia.

Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) CEO Meanwell Gudu concurred that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will adversely affect tobacco production. He said:

Prices for inputs have definitely increased and this is affecting the viability of tobacco production.

The two warring countries are traditionally big suppliers of raw materials for fertilizers.

Ambrose forecasted the average prices to be closer to US$3/kg up from US$2.70/kg in 2021.

The 2022 tobacco marketing season starts on 30 March.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa held his final rally before the 26 March by-elections at Olympic Stadium, Epworth in Harare this Thursday.

The rally was attended by thousands of people despite being staged at short notice after the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) had initially issued a prohibition order, blocking the rally.

Police later cleared the rally on Thursday mid-morning after CCC lawyers had challenged the ban in court.

Addressing his supporters, Chamisa described the by-elections as crucial and implored Epworth residents to vote for his party in their numbers.

Five candidates are vying for the Epworth National Assembly seat. These are Earthrage Kureva (CCC), Hazvineyi Makari (ZANU PF), Zivai Mhetu (MDC Alliance), Richard Musiyadzaanikwa (LEAD) and Innocent Hazvina (Independent).

European champions Italy will not play in the 2022 World Cup after being stunned by North Macedonia in their play-off in Palermo.

Aleksandar Trajkovski picked up the loose ball in the 92nd minute, drove forward and fired a sensational winner from outside the area.

The goal sparked wild celebrations on the North Macedonia bench, while Italy’s players and coaching staff dropped to their knees in front of their home fans.

It means Italy have failed to qualify for a second consecutive World Cup, ensuring the Azzurri will endure at least 12 years between appearances at football’s showpiece event.

It is just eight months since Roberto Mancini’s side celebrated one of their greatest triumphs – beating England at Wembley to win Euro 2020 having been considered outsiders going into the tournament.

But they have now paid the price for a disjointed – if previously unbeaten – World Cup qualification campaign during which they finished runners-up to Switzerland in their group, winning four and drawing four of their eight matches.

As expected Italy dominated possession on Thursday but failed to penetrate the resolute North Macedonia defence, registering five shots on target from 32 attempts.

The visitors, ranked 67th in the world, are rewarded for their defensive display with a play-off final against Portugal, who beat Turkey 3-1.

North Macedonia are 90 minutes away from reaching consecutive tournaments, having never reached a Euros or World Cup before qualifying for Euro 2020.

Four-time World Cup winners Italy, who are ranked sixth in the world, will watch events in Qatar in November and December from afar.

As the players emerged from the tunnel and the national anthems played, this was billed as a routine victory for Italy.

The mouth-watering prospect of veteran superstars Giorgio Chiellini and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo meeting in the play-off final loomed large.

But it was anything but routine.

Mancini’s side started brightly and Marco Verratti kept them ticking, but they struggled to translate their possession into clear-cut chances.

North Macedonia came to Italy with a defensive gameplan and they threw everything in the way of the ball, as Visar Musliu caught the full force of a Domenico Berardi volley in the groin.

Berardi was a rare bright spark for Italy but when he was gifted possession by North Macedonia keeper Stole Dimitrievski, who had left his goal momentarily unguarded, the Sassuolo forward could not get the ball out of his feet in time to roll it into the net.

That theme continued into the second half as Berardi’s movement again proved to be a threat without the final product.

As he rolled his marker just outside of the area with ease, he could only fire his effort over the bar with just the keeper to beat.

North Macedonia had just 34% possession and four shots over 90 minutes, but they took their opportunity against the run of play clinically.

As the ball bounced up inside the Italian half, Trajkovski, who used to play for Palermo, chested the ball away from two blue shirts and set off towards Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal.

The Paris St-Germain keeper had virtually nothing to do for 90 minutes, but he was too slow to react to Trajkovski’s fizzing effort as it nestled into the bottom corner.

The journey is not yet complete for North Macedonia, who face Italy’s predecessors as European champions in the final, but this is unquestionably the upset of the play-offs.

South African musician Makhadzi has tearfully confessed that Botswana loves her more than her own country of birth.

Makhadzi revealed this startling detail after she was honoured in Botswana by the country’s leadership as well as royals of the Batlokwa tribe.

She was given the full presidential treatment ahead of her One Woman Show billed for Tlokweng, Botswana, this weekend. Tlokweng is a modern village, geographically attached to the country’s capital, Gaborone, and it’s set to host Makhadzi’s stadium show on Saturday.

10% of the proceeds from the show are set to be donated to charities around Botswana.

The Batlokwa tribe held an elaborate function to honour Makhadzi on Wednesday. The event which was attended by a Botswana government minister was held at the Tlokweng Main Kgotla.

Multitudes of women graced the event dressed in shawls and leteisi (Setswana Traditional attire). The ever-humble Makhadzi attended the event dressed in the same Setswana traditional attire.

The Matorokisi star was showered with various gifts by the Tlokweng Village elders and royals who commended her prodigious talent and work ethic. They spoke glowingly of how Makhadzi is influencing the youth positively across the continent with her music.

Makhadzi was so touched by the royal treatment that she received from the Botswana royals and the Botswana government that she broke down.

The talented musician tearfully revealed that she was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love. Makhadzi confessed that she gets the most love from Botswana and that she has never received such love from her birth nation of South Africa.

“I express my gratitude to the leaders of this country for allowing me to have my show here, Botswana is the only country that has shown me so much love even more than my own country. I want to reach out to the younger ones…” said Makhadzi…

Big Zulu is a Nkabi who sticks to his choices when dressing. Unlike other rappers, he has made his fashion trade, who do not have an identifiable wardrobe. Social media blasted him for his strictly Zulu wardrobe during his early days of popularity, but he ignored the noise.

Many fans didn’t know the cost of Big Zulu’s clothes and why he preferred them. We look into Big Zulu’s unique and expensive wardrobe from top to bottom.

Mzansi erupted when Big Zulu wore a shot and an armless top en route to perform in Botswana. It wasn’t Big Zulu’s style. Being a Zulu man, he got his dressing style from the Zulu culture. His music also shows that he is a man of his culture.

He is a fashion Ambassador for Brentwood and Splitz, where he buys most of his clothes. The rapper is mostly putting on the Carvella Medalion Regio shoe. A shoe he developed in collaboration with Spitz South Africa. The shoes are manufactured in Italy and costs around R4,000.

Formal trousers dominate Big Zulu’s wardrobe with a few shots and jeans. The average price of his trousers is R1 500. He also boasts a wide range of sandals, including the Carvela Luxe Cross Over Buckle slide that costs R2,000.

To match with his preferred formal outfit, Big Zulu has a range of brown and mostly black belts. The majority of belts are Barron Leather belts that range from R1,000 to R1,200.

When it comes to shirts and T-shirts, Big Zulu is flexible. He had them across top clothing labels, including Ralph Lauren and Levi Strauss. Big Zulu also have other clothes in his wardrobe that the public doesn’t get to see often, including sportswear.

The actors’ lives on the successful The Wife series on Showmax have thrown them into the spotlight for the past several months and one of the leads, Bonko Khoza, who portrays the role of Mqhele is very much taken.

Khoza plays the tough, at times menacing, abusive and loving partner to Hlomu.

In real life, he is married to his partner, content creator Lesego Khoza.

The couple recently had their Umembeso (traditional wedding) dressed in their best Zulu attire.

Lesego and Bonko celebrated their one-year anniversary after having their white wedding nuptials on 13 March 2021.

Bonko thanked their friends, family and colleagues for attending their special day. They both shared on Instagram a verse from the Bible, 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1-3‬ ‭NLT‬‬.

“If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing,” the verse reads.

Mr and Mrs Khoza wore coordinated outfits by designers Royalty M&W and Nothando Mkhwanazi.

The custom made design has colours of beige, outlines of dark blue navy and intricate circles.

Bonko wore his custom made suit with beige pants, sneakers and umqhele (a traditional Zulu band).

Lesego’s dress had the same pattern, a leopard print piece integrated into the dress with a light cream African basket crown.

Zimbabweans cast ballots on Saturday in parliamentary and local authority by-elections seen as a yardstick of what is to come in next year’s general polls.

The polls, which opened at 7am, have generated so much interest that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has led various campaign rallies to shore up support for ruling ZANU-PF candidates.

“We need change,” Jasen Maeka, a 42-year-old unemployed man said after voting at a polling station in central Harare.

“We should give the opposition a chance. This government has proved to be a failure,” Maeka said.

Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, who is seen as the most formidable challenger to Mnangagwa, formed a new party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), three months before the by-elections.

“We are going into a crucial by-election…it is a dry run of the 2023 election,” Chamisa told his final campaign rally in a working-class district on the outskirts of Harare on Thursday.

The new party drew massive crowds to its campaign rallies.

Chamisa’s party complained of growing repression by the authorities as several of its parties were banned by the police during the two-month-long campaign.

Unrest at an opposition rally last month left one person dead and 22 injured.

During the campaign, the country’s vice president Constantino Chiwenga likened the opposition to lice which should be “crushed”.

ZANU-PF, which has led the country since independence from Britain in 1980, also attracted huge campaign crowds.

Critics accuse Mnangagwa, who took power in 2017 after Robert Mugabe ruled for 37 years, of muzzling dissidents and the opposition has voiced concern that the election will not be credible.

Voters are casting ballots in 28 parliamentary constituencies including 20 where opposition lawmakers were recalled in a battle over the control of the country’s largest opposition party.

The rest of the seats fell vacant following the deaths or reassignment of the incumbents.

By-elections were also being held in 122 local government municipalities.

The by-elections were supposed to be held within 90 days of the seats falling vacant but Mnangagwa delayed the polls in 2020 citing the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sixteen parties were taking part in the elections.

On the eve of the polls, Chamisa’s party alleged that the election was rigged before voting had taken place, citing errors in the voters’ register.

Polls close at 7pm.

The world celebrates Vitiligo awareness day every year on 25th June. Although about 1% of the entire population is affected by this condition, there is a lot of ignorance about the condition, which results in stigma and bullying.

In summary, vitiligo is a skin disorder that results from a lack of melanin and causes the skin to lose its colour. A person with vitiligo may develop white patches on any part of their body or hair, and although this condition can affect people from all races, it’s often more prominent in people with darker skin.

Here is a list of South African celebrities with vitiligo who are spreading awareness about vitiligo and inspiring other South Africans with vitiligo to proudly embrace their skin.

Leleti Khumalo

The Sarafina star, Leleti Khumalo, is one of the South African celebrities with vitiligo.

Leleti Khumalo, who has now fully embraced her condition, developed vitiligo at a young age, although she concealed her white patches with makeup for a long time.

Speaking to The Drum in a past interview, the veteran actress revealed that she had to hide her condition given that the acting industry is all about looks and conditions such as vitiligo are not often accommodated.

However, she finally accepted her skin and is currently one of the most vocal educators and activists who are working to create awareness about vitiligo in South Africa.

In 2018, Leleti Khumalo was the main cast in the popular eTV series Imbewu: The Seed. This is the first screen appearance that Leleti is showing off her real skin.

Kgothatso Iman Dithebe

This model and pageant queen is among the few South African celebrities with vitiligo who are proud of their skin.

Kgothatso, who is sometimes referred to as a model with a mark, was consistently bullied as a child for the prominent mark on her face and hair. Little did the bullies know that her mark would be her money-maker.

In 2019 and 2021, Kgothatso participated in the Miss SA competition and made it to the top five finalists. Her reason for participating was to inspire women everywhere to believe in themselves.

As the first-ever South African model with vitiligo, Kgothatso is doing a great job of creating awareness about vitiligo, and we couldn’t be prouder of her.

Brighton Ngoma

Brighton Ngoma is an actor who is best known for his role as Quinton Nyathi on eTV’s series Scandal.

The actor is also among the few male South African celebrities with vitiligo who are open about his condition.

On 25th June 2019, Brighton Ngoma joined the world in celebrating World Vitiligo Day, disclosing that he had vitiligo on his arms and also clarifying that vitiligo is neither painful nor contagious.

In 2020, he also took to Instagram to inspire other people living with vitiligo to celebrate their skin and “ignite their inner bravery.”

Chad Esau

Chad Esau is a male model who is making waves in the modelling industry for his unique skin. He is amongst the South African celebrities with vitiligo.

This handsome model was bullied as a child because his skin was different, and it really affected his esteem growing up but little did he know that he was a star destined to shine.

Chad Esau was discovered by a modelling agent when he was working at a coffee shop, and although he had never considered being a model, he took the opportunity when it presented itself.

In 2020, Chad Esau participated in the Mr South Africa competition. Even though his initial reason for participating in the contest was only to create awareness about vitiligo, he made it to the semi-finals.

Besides creating awareness about vitiligo, Chad Esau is also an ambassador for Project Brave Heart, an anti-bullying movement.

Nollywood actor John Okafor is alleged to be currently hospitalized after being poisoned in Abuja. Last week, social media was flooded with prayers from the actor’s fans wishing him a speedy recovery.

This comes after a video of Mr Ibu circulated on social media where he looked unhealthy, with his daughter begging him to take medication.

The clip was shared on TikTok.

The Nigerian superstar who is currently in hospital purports that he was poisoned for the third time after he attended an event in Abuja last week.

I just got poisoned again. It seems my enemies are using me to rehearse their powers. This time, I wasn’t poisoned in the village. I was poisoned in Abuja last week at an entertainment event. I really cannot explain how I was poisoned because it was a gathering of people, though it was not a big event.

Mr Ibu also revealed that as he is recovering from escaping death, he is ready to be back in action anytime soon.

I am recuperating, although I have neither worked out nor driven since I got ill. However, I intend to take a walk this (Friday) evening, because I am hopeful that I would get better. I am eating well now, and I’m prepared to go back on set any moment from now.

He also said:

Some peope have sold me. They have not heard from me and all they want to do is sell me. But, their plans won’t work because God has raised me up. I am not begging anbody for money. My condition is not as critical as some people are making it seem. Anybody who has made it a point of duty to talk about my sickness and take advantage of it should stop it. I am here (hospital) with my wife. I am not saying all my friends that are supposed to visit me and bring me money cannot do that. But, I have never asked anyone to beg people for money on my behalf. The should stop. If I want to die, I would let them know, since they seem to be so interested.

The veteran comedian who rose to fame through his acting role on the 2004 Nollywood movie Mr ‘Ibu, once claimed that some of his workers were paid to assassinate him.

Zimbabweans voted on Saturday in key parliamentary and municipal by-elections seen as a test for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ruling party in next year’s general polls.

The polls had generated so much interest in the run-up that Mnangagwa led various campaign rallies to shore up support for his ZANU-PF candidates.

But only short queues were seen in the hours after polling stations opened at 7 am.

The southern African country has for years been grappling with economic hardships, joblessness, and accusations the government was stifling dissent.

“We need change,” Jasen Maeka, a 42-year-old unemployed man said after voting at a polling station in central Harare.

“We should give the opposition a chance. This government has proved to be a failure,” Maeka said.

Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, who is seen as the most formidable challenger to Mnangagwa, formed a new party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), three months before the by-elections.

He sees the election as a “crucial… a dry run of the 2023 election”.

The new party drew massive crowds to its campaign rallies.

Chamisa’s party complained of growing repression by the authorities as several of its rallies were banned by the police during the two-month long campaign.

Unrest at an opposition rally last month left one person dead and 22 injured.

During the campaign, the country’s vice president Constantino Chiwenga likened the opposition to lice which should be “crushed” and Mnangagwa vowed at a Thursday rally that ZANU-PF would rule “forever”.

ZANU-PF, which has led the country since independence from Britain in 1980, also attracted huge campaign crowds.

Critics accuse Mnangagwa, who took power in 2017 after Robert Mugabe ruled for 37 years, of muzzling critics and the opposition has voiced concern that election will not be credible.

Chamisa accused the electoral commission of bias and said he had alerted regional blocs such as SADC.

“We can’t have yet another disputed election,” said Chamisa after casting his ballot in Harare’s Kuwadzana township.

“We want a proper referee, a proper umpire not this one who throws the whistle away to join the other team,” he said, referring to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC).

“ZEC is literally mobilizing apathy, making sure that people are frustrated, making sure that the vote is suppressed”.

Voters are casting ballots in 28 parliamentary constituencies including 20 where opposition lawmakers were recalled in a battle over the control of the country’s largest opposition party.

The rest of the seats fell vacant following the deaths or reassignment of the incumbents.

By-elections were also being held in 122 local government municipalities.

The by-elections were supposed to be held within 90 days of the seats falling vacant but Mnangagwa delayed the polls in 2020 citing the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sixteen parties were taking part in the elections.

On the eve of the polls, Chamisa’s party alleged that the election was rigged before voting had taken place, citing errors in the voters register.

The ZANU-PF director for information and publicity, Tafadzwa Mugwadi, told AFP the voting process has been going “pretty well.”

He said: “So far so good.”
