Things have been quite busy this past weekend from the Khune-Sbahle break-up to the mess that Dineo Ranaka made on twitter; it was definitely a weekend of losses and break-ups. Let’s take a look at what other news made the headlines.
Losing a job is one of the most stressful life experiences for anyone, even for the most popular celebrities. One of the people who is feeling it is Uzalo actor, Mfana Jones Hlophe. Daily Sun alleges that viewers of the popular drama were not impressed with him and that’s how he lost his job. According to Daily Sun, sources claimed that the actor was booted from the SABC1 telenovela because he didn’t attract viewers. Mfana, who played Zakhele – Lindiwe Ngcobo’s fiancée – was allegedly brought to Uzalo to spice things up but he failed dismally in getting viewers to like him. Daily Sun reports that ratings hiked up when he left the show. Yikes!
Another one who lost his job recently is actor and presenter, Dingaan Mokebe ka Khumalo, who apparently did not renew his contract with the investigative reality show, Speak Out. But sources say the actor, who plays James on SABC2’s soapie Muvhango, was fired as a presenter of the channel’s consumer rights show. Sources at Urban Brew Studios told Sunday Sun that Dingaan has been replaced by his Muvhango colleague, Lesley Musina, who plays Ndalamo Mukwevho. How is that even acceptable? Does Speak Out have an exclusive contract to hire Muvhango actors or what?
Boity and Cassper should just get back together and be a happy couple! They claim that they broke up because of their busy schedules that led them to not having enough time for each other. Can’t that be fixed though??? I mean it’s only been a couple of months since they broke up, yet they can’t stop speaking about each other to the media.
Remember that True Love article Boity did, where she told the country how the rapper had broken up with her? Well, Cassper has once again spoken out about how he’ll always love the petite actress. Sunday World quoted him saying: “I wasn’t giving her the time and love she deserves as I was so committed to my career. She deserved better than me”. They should honestly get their shit together and get married. We miss them! Plus they are both single at the moment so there’s still a chance.
It seems like Thembisa Mdoda has been caught up in another controversy. Daily Sun reports that the Our Perfect Wedding (OPW) presenter has been labelled a “cheat” for not crediting her stylist. She apparently never credits her stylist, Tshidi Molubi but instead keeps crediting her friend and owner of fashion line, Dainty Frock, Nqobile Tshalata. This is all according to a source and not Tshidi herself. This is what Tshidi had to say about the whole mess: “I can’t comment on this matter as I’m yet to meet her (Thembisa) and deal with this matter the right way. I also need to consult the producer and see how we can move forward and continue to work for the good of the show.” Well then!
