The contrast and conflict between traditional vs western medicine will become a big factor as the story evolves.

“One thing is sure- love, relationships and cheating scandals will continue to unfold. Dr Thabo [Meshack Mavuso] and Dr Zondo [Fanele Ntuli] are now married. Dr Jack and Nurse Calvin have taken the next steps in their relationship and are now engaged. And, Matron Phumeza and Sibiya finally have children of their own,” said the channel in a statement.

In May, Stained Glass, the production company behind the show released a statement confirming that the show has been canned.

According to a statement from the channel, Durban Gen has been canceled as part of a business strategy which includes the ongoing review of the on-air life-cycle of all our shows.

“The decision to decommission the daily drama is part of a business strategy which includes the on-going review of the on-air life-cycle of all our shows. e.tv continues to look forward to fulfilling its mandate of producing exceptional and relevant local content, and the production has successfully achieved its part of the obligation throughout the past 2 years. Durban Gen first aired in October 2020,” read the statement.

After Nandi Madida‘s video on Twitter, tweeps have named and shamed her husband Zakes Bantwini for not deserving her. Nandi Madida shared her video while dancing to Ed Sheeran’s song and things have gone all the way to the left for her husband.

Zakes Bantwini is catching smoke following a video that Nandi Madida posted of herself on Twitter. In a separate tweet, the Twitter jury has ruled out that Zakes Bantwini does not deserve to have Nandi Madida as a wife. Instead, tweeps have inserted their reasons, by calling Zakes Bantwini self-centered among other things.

From Chris Excel’s shady tweep, where he suggested as if it was according to them as fans, they would have preferred Nandi Madida with rapper, K.O. Both Nandi Madida and K.O have worked together on a couple of collaborations but were never an item.

Kagiso Modupe opens up on how he became a millionaire using his private part. It’s funny… I used my private parts to become a millionaire,” the actor and film director revealed to podcaster Kagiso Moahlodi.

Speaking more about what happened, the former Scandal! actor and House of Zwide director said he’s been married to his wife for 12 years without being circumcised, which led him to start a campaign for every man to get circumcised.

Kagiso approached Brothers For Life and Right to Care to start a public circumcision campaign. He started promoting the campaign on social media platforms, as he’s to receive R1 for every man who gets circumcised.

Through this campaign, he made his first million as he was able to persuade 1.1 million South African men to circumcise in just one day.

Thembinkosi Lorch and Natasha Thahane are said to have broken up and the Podcast and Chill team made fun of them.

But to be fair, they have never confirmed nor denied that they were a couple. When Natasha got pregnant she never revealed the paternity of the baby.

The actress welcomed her child a few months back. The Podcast and Chill team spoke about this rumor with the Ghost Lady revealing that she is apparently a single mother now.

“She is part of the statistics now.”

MacG reacted in shock but later said he was not that shocked because everybody saw it coming. “But are we shocked, we all saw that was coming.”

Sol Phenduka agreed and painted the couple as your typical celebrity couple. He then asked MacG if he wants a chance with Natasha now that she is ‘available’ but he said no. Never missing an opportunity to add in a joke or two, Sol said, “You also want to do a hit and run. Umbethe umbaleke.”

This joke was in relation to the Baleka Mbethe situation where Natasha claimed the government official helped her get a R1 million in funding so she can pay for her fees in the United States.

Someone who saw it coming from miles away, Slik Talk is probably laughing right now. As soon as news hit that Lorch might be the father of her child, he went off on her on Instagram.

“This is one of the worst mistakes you’ve ever made in your life, you don’t beg on a guy like Lorch. He is a complete liability , a fraud and overhyped media darling. He will disappoint you every time.

“You don’t make a baby with a guy like Lorch, he is an embarrassment. I’m an Orlando Pirates supporter. Do you know how much money I’ve lost because of this clown? You know how much embarrassment I’ve had to take because of this clown? He just embarrassed us on the weekend and you gonna be impregnated by a clown like Lorch,” he said.

Slik Talk took aim at Natasha Thahane’s character on Blood And Water as she played the character of Wendy Dlamini. He said the team would not want her back because she can’t justify playing a teenager when she has a kid.

“How are you going to justify to Blood and Water to play a teenager when you have a whole baby, you think it’s going to let you play an 18-year-old when you have a baby. That’s not gonna happen. Natasha we all know that as a female actor when you have a baby in your 20s it’s probably one of the biggest mistakes you ever made in your life. Having a baby in your 20s it’s a mistake because it removes you from so many roles. You can’t play a teenager and a college girl anymore.

Slik Talk concluded by saying Lorch is not talented “Lorch in my opinion you are an embarrassment, you are a terrible football player and you’ve had only 1 good season,” he said.

Gold worth US$650,000 was snatched on Tuesday morning after heavily armed men attacked a security convoy conveying the gold from How Mine to Fidelity Printers in Bulawayo.

A Securitas cash-in-transit van which was accompanied by three other vehicles from the mine was forced to stop when three vehicles blocked the road just after 7.30AM near an area known as ‘Magaya Stands’, about 10km from the mine.

Witnesses said up to 13 men armed with assault rifles and handguns quickly overwhelmed the security convoy.

A mine source said: “The guards in the three security vehicles which were first to be intercepted quickly surrendered. They were forced to lie down and disarmed of four guns. The robbers took the gold weighing 11.9kg before jumping into their vehicles – a Toyota GD6, a South Africa-registered Nissan NP300 and a Nissan March.”

A fourth vehicle in the mine security convoy, a Toyota Fortuner which was driving just minutes behind, arrived at the scene and pursued the robbers leading to a shootout.

The gunmen abandoned the Nissan NP300 not far from the crime scene.

“I understand the robbers ended up the ones pursuing the Fortuner, while shooting at it. The Fortuner lost their tail somewhere near Ekusileni Hospital in Hillside,” the source said.

The Nissan March was later found abandoned.

Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department’s homicide division in Bulawayo are heading the investigation. How Mine is 22km south of Bulawayo.

In a statement, the Bulawayo Mining Company – which owns How Mine – said: “BMC advises that on the morning of October 4, 2022, an armed attack on security transit vehicles resulted in the theft of gold that was being transported from How Mine to Fidelity Printers and Refiners.

“Police have attended the scene and have begun investigations with the full cooperation of BMC.”

Workers at public health institutions are reportedly fleecing citizens seeking to activate the quick response (QR) codes on their COVID-19 vaccination cards which are a prerequisite for travellers at international borders.

This comes as demand for the activation of the QR codes is rising following relaxation of travel restrictions in most countries across the globe as the COVID-19 cases recede.

It has also emerged that health workers are also allegedly demanding as much as US$100 to process activated vaccination cards for people who are not vaccinated.

Scores of vaccinated citizens wishing to travel abroad are reportedly being forced to fork out as much as US$20 to activate their vaccination certificates at health centres offering the service.

The activation of the COVID-19 vaccination cards QR codes is offered by the Health ministry free of charge, but some citizens are paying for the service to hasten the process. Some people end up aborting their trips after failing to have their QR codes activated.

A survey conducted by NewsDay in the capital yesterday revealed that activation of the COVID-19 vaccination cards QR codes was centralised at major public health institutions and selected local council clinics.

Activation centres visited by NewsDay were characterised by long winding queues with nurses offering services at a slow pace, in what people described as a tactic to frustrate them so that they pay for the service.

Investigations also revealed that some clinics were taking a limited number of people — about 50 people per day — resulting in dozens of people being turned away.

“They are demanding proof that indeed a person wants to travel abroad before they can activate,” a resident who only identified herself as Sarah said.

“This is my third day at this clinic, I have been coming here every morning to no avail. What I noticed is some nurses come with a handful of cards that will be given preference, while we wait in queues. This makes the process very slow and they can abruptly close office, even before the close of business.”

Contacted for comment, Health ministry secretary Air Commodore Jasper Chimedza referred questions to the ministry spokesperson Donald Mujiri.

Mujiri was not picking calls and had not responded to questions sent to him by the time of going to print. Health deputy minister John Mangwiro was also not answering his phone.

A nurse who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed that health workers were being paid by travellers who were in urgent need of the card activation service.

“Kumaactivation kune mari mari refu manje (At the card activation centres people are making money),“ she said.

“Some people would be in urgent need of the QR code because they would not want to miss their flights or they would be busy at work. Instead of waiting for up to five hours in queues they opt to pay us. Inenge iri yekutenga drink chete, kana US$40 chaiyo. (It would be just for appreciation, up to US$40).”

Community Working Group on Health executive director Itai Rusike called for the decentralisation of the COVID-19 vaccination card activation to the districts to stop the rot.

“It is unnecessary and very unacceptable that people have to spend hours of productive time in queues trying to get QR codes. The Ministry of Health and Child Care should also be seen to be implementing the devolution process in the issuance of the QR codes as it has an added advantage of ensuring that services that were previously centralised are now decentralised by taking such services to the people and making them more efficient and easily accessible,” Rusike said.

South African actor and TV host Kagiso Modupe, has opened up about how he became an instant millionaire.

Kagiso has been in the entertainment industry for more than two decades and he still has a lot to offer. He has successfully dabbled between acting, producing, and TV hosting.

The actor who is famous for playing the role of Mangi Nyathi on eTV’s Scandal, recently sat down with King David said he used his private parts to become a millionaire.

“It’s funny… I used my private parts to become a millionaire,” he said.

When the podcaster Kagiso Moahlodi asked him how he used his manhood to become a millionaire, Medupe did not shy away from spilling the tea. He revealed that at the time he had been married for 12 years and he was not circumcised.

“I was like okay, I am married and at that time it was for 12 years. I was not circumfused, and I was like what are the benefits of circumcision

He revealed that he approached Brothers For Life and Right to Care to collaborate with them so that they can start a campaign to encourage men to get circumcised.

The actor said he asked men to join him on the day he went to circumcised and said he wanted R1 from each circumcision. He said he manhood to lure 1.1 million men across the country from the campaign.

A couple of years ago, Medupe told Gareth Cliff in an interview on Cliff Central that his wife inspired him to get circumcised. His goal is to reduce cervical cancer incidence among women

“I am a dad and I’m a husband and I’m someone who is very family orientated. For me that is what caught my attention and that is when I went to find out about the HPV virus. I didn’t want to be the reason why my wife doesn’t get to see our daughters graduate or get married because I could have potentially infected her or caused her to get cervical cancer,” he said.

DJ Zinhle teased a minute-long snippet of a new single featuring Nkosazana Daughter on her Instagram Reels on Tuesday morning that has fans eager for more. The clip was originally posted by her musician husband Murdah Bongz, who also goes by the name Mörda.

Judging from the caption the song being teased is titled “Asante”, which is their one-year-old daughter’s name. It remains unclear whether it’s a collaboration between DJ Zinhle and Murdah Bongz or if it’s just one of their solo songs.

“Morda/Asante loading.. You’re amazing @nkosazana_daughter! Great work daddy @murdahbongz,” captioned DJ Zinhle on the clip.

Recently, after Prince Kaybee sent the rumour mill into overdrive by expressing how he was in disbelief that Black Motion, the popular electro house duo that comprises Murdah Bongz and Smol, had split, they came out with a statement announcing that they’re still going strong.

They also expressed at the time that they would be releasing new music soon. “A new album with new sounds and feel is in the making,” they said.

“We trust that this dispels any rumours or uncertainties from our fans, industry peers, promoters, brand agencies or any future events we are booked for.

A commuter omnibus driver lost control of his car, almost ran over a pedestrian and crashed into a tree inside Kidznet Pre-school in Bulawayo’s Mzilikazi suburb yesterday morning.

The kombi veered off the road in Mzilikazi suburb and crashed into a tree inside KidzNet preschool.

Witnesses told the Chronicle the driver failed to stop at the Nguboyenja flyover along Luveve Road and careened off the road, sending pedestrians scurrying for cover, at around 740am.

Onlookers said it was a miracle that no one was injured.

A heavily pregnant woman who was in the kombi was rushed to hospital with undisclosed complications.

The vehicle flew from the higher ground on the slope of the flyover in the city centre direction, destroyed a portion of the fence around the pre-school and came to rest against a tree inside the school.

Luckily, the children who had already arrived for lessons were in class.

Witness described a drama of near-misses and heart stopping moments.

“One pedestrian was in the direct path of the kombi and it appeared as if there was no way she could get out of the way in time,” said a witness who declined to be named.

“The driver veered sharply to the right, narrowly missing the pedestrian who was flat-footed and flew off the road. Passengers screamed in terror and there were loud hooters as other motorists warned road users. We heard a scary crash as the kombi hit a tree and we prayed that it had not run over a kid at the pre-school,” said the witness.

When the news crew arrived at the scene, the pedestrian who was almost run over by the kombi was sitting by the roadside and appeared dazed.

She was breathing heavily and shock was written all over her face.

She could not speak.

A parent who only be identified herself as Mrs Tshuma said she was dropping off her child at the pre-school when she saw the horrific accident.

“I am glad the children were inside the pre-school because they could have been hurt had they been outside. I wish drivers would use the proper bus stops because this one is not even designated,” she said.

A vendor, Mr Sialas Dube, who witnessed the accident said passengers broke windows to get out of the car because the door was stuck.

“Panicky passengers got out of the car after smashing windows. My heart goes out to the pregnant woman. She is obviously in pain as you can see her,” he said.

“This area has always been a black spot. Drivers should take extra caution here,” he added.

An ambulance and the police arrived at the scene of the accident a few minutes after it occurred.

Bulawayo Police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Abedinico Ncube said a report on the incident was yet to reach his office.

South Africa-born musician, Toya Delazy accussed the late Queen Elizabeth of practicing witchcraft before passing.

She called people’s attention to the wand that was broken during the funeral of the Queen.

“We were so focused on the African “leaders” being on a bus, we missed the part where the former English Queens witchcraft ‘Wand’ was broken in half and placed on her box to mark the end of her era as the Saxon druid oracle and high priestess,” she tweeted.

Toya claimed Elizabeth was a druid, and she explained what it meant.

“What is a druid? Druids are concerned with the natural world and its powers, and considered trees sacred, particularly the oak. Druidism can be described as a shamanic religion, as it relied on a combination of contact with the spirit world and holistic medicines.”

The musician has no problem with what Queen Elizabeth practiced, but she had an issue with people and Africans who dump their spirituality for Christianity.

“Can this encourage all the spiritual indigenious to tap back into their ancient sciences instead we practise religions with absolutely no power. The true power is practised in the shadows & its extremly misleading to strip Afrikans of spiritual power only to use it for yourself,” Toya added.

He also dragged him for living with his mother, as the DJ opened up about his life while speaking to a podcaster.

Nota Baloyi drags AKA after the rapper lost R10 000 to Manchester City who beat Manchester United 6 -3. Fans empathised with Kiernan Forbes who bragged about gaining an extra R50k when Man U wins, but he got disappointed at the end of the football match on Sunday, as he lost money to betting.

Nota Baloyi drags AKA after the rapper lost R10 000 to Manchester City who beat Manchester United 6 -3. Fans empathised with Kiernan Forbes who bragged about gaining an extra R50k when Man U wins, but he got disappointed at the end of the football match on Sunday, as he lost money to betting.

Nota who is famously known to be an outspoken critic said the money is chicken feed for AKA, but he urged the rapper to pay his daughter, Kairo Forbes school fees and stop wasting money. Some social media users also warned AKA against becoming a betting addict, as this isn’t the first time he’s betting on a match.

“Anyway 10K doesn’t even cover Kiernan’s hospitality rider that’s chump change… Wena pay your daughter’s school fees & don’t play with money,” Nota wrote.

However, AKA snubbed the tweet, as he is focused on loving his family and promoting his song.

Cassper Nyovest and Thobeka Majozi hint at breaking up.

The two have come a long way with their relationship, despite keeping it secret, but the birth of their son, Khotso made them visible to the world.

The lovers still remained private after they welcomed their first child, but they still hint at being very much in love with each other with posts and content shared on social media.

Over the past weekend, Cassper and Thobeka a.k.a Bexx easily made us believe that they have broken up, which will be discussed below.

On Sunday, the 2nd of October, Bexx announced her 30th birthday with a video revealing that she cut her hair.

In South Africa, a woman’s act of cutting her hair hints at a new life or a fresh phase, most times, it means she’s broken up with her lover; a good example is DJ Zinhle who cut her hair after splitting from AKA.

Another reason to believe that they are no longer together is Cassper’s refusal to congratulate or wish her a happy birthday. We understand that he just won a boxing fight against Priddy Ugly, but the rapper is a loud lover, as he enjoys celebrating his friends, son, and people close to him on social media.

Last year, Mufasa celebrated Thobeka publicly, but this year, he was completely mute about the birthday; he also didn’t drop comments on her Instagram posts.

It’s no news that Majozi is secretive, but she posts certain things on her Instagram stories, including things relating to Cassper, however, she didn’t promote his boxing match.

We understand they are private lovers, but the silent treatment from both ends screams break-up.

Meanwhile, they are still following each other on Instagram.

A family lost property worth US$15,000 was destroyed on Monday after fire gutted a house in Bulawayo’s Queens Park low density suburb.

The fire is suspected to have been caused by an electric fault. Efforts by neighbours to put out the fire were fruitless due to water woes in the area.

Acting Chief fire officer, Linos Phiri confirmed the incident.

“I can confirm that a four roomed house in Queens Park was gutted down by fire yesterday (Monday),” he said.

“When the fire brigade arrived the house was already engulfed with fire and severely damaged. The roof over the kitchen, lounge and spare bedroom had already collapsed.”

The fire appeared to have spread from the kitchen to the rest of the house whilst the occupants were at home watching television in the lounge before noticing the smoke.

Most of the household property was destroyed with an estimated loss of  US$15,000.

Property saved is worth around US$9,000.

“Neighbours said they failed to help as there was no water in the area due to water shedding,” added Phiri.
