Kefiloe is the actress ‘s first born. She has been seen attending several events with her mother and has recently tied the knot with radio and tv personality Smash Afrika. The couple also welcomed a baby boy last year. Its not really known what Kefiloe does for a living but according to her Instagram page, she’s a YouTube content creator, fashion designer and model.
Nthateng Chuene

She is Rami’s second child. She made headlines a few years ago when she graduated from Rhodes University with a BA. Her mom was delighted that she shared photos and videos of the graduation ceremony on her Instagram page. Nthateng is also a lover of tattoos as her body is covered in ink. She also has an Only fans account, which her mother promoted for her on Twitter a few years ago.

Lorna Maseko who is in love with Floyd Shivambu, speaks on why she never posts a manPopular Mzansi celebrity chef Lorna Maseko who has been romantically linked to EFF turned MK Party member Floyd Shivambu has revealed her reasons for keeping her relationships off social media.

The TV personality, dancer, and chef was once accused of cheating on her ex-husband with Katlego Maboe and was even shamed by Springbok WAG Rachel Kolisi over her words about her husband, Siya.

 
According to the Citizen, Lorna Maseko has been romantically linked to Floyd Shivambu, who recently made headlines for swapping the EFF for the MK Party, led by former president Jacob Zuma.

Lorna Maseko

The notoriously private couple allegedly share a three-year-old daughter together.

Hinting at her romantic life this week, Lorna – a former best friend of Bonang Matheba – posted a cryptic quote on Instagram that read: “Y’all notice how I never post a man? Very demure, very mindful, very considerate”.According to Sunday World, Lorna Maseko and Floyd began dating in 2018 and have allegedly chosen to keep their relationship private.

Floyd has another daughter, Katekani, with TV and radio host Andile Masuku.

Lorna Maseko’s reasoning for keeping her relationships private probably stems from making headlines over her romantic choices.

In 2015, Lorna and fellow TV star Katlego Maboe shared a steamy kiss at the Durban July afterparty. At the time, Lorna was married to businessman Gcina Lukhele. They divorced a year later.

Confirming the incident, Katlego told CliffCentral.com of the incident: “It’s a simple thing. I was kissing someone I wasn’t meant to be kissing at the time.”

“What happened is‚ we went to the horse races‚ and we were together as a group of friends. We had a couple of drinks, and it was great. Later on in the night‚ there was a vibe. You know, when there’s a vibe‚ it’s just instantaneous. You look into each other’s eyes, and we snogged”.

In 2018, Lorna Maseko made headlines again after Siya Kolisi’s wife called her out on X (formerly Twitter).

In a tweet that went viral, the Springbok WAG called out a celeb – later identified as Lorna – who allegedly encouraged her friend to date a married man, name-dropping Siya Kolisi.

Rachel – who has since quit the app – tweeted at the time: “I watched a local TV show last week where a local ‘celeb’ was encouraging her friend to ‘go after/date/hook up’ with Siya Kolisi.

“Had to rewind a few times to make sure I heard right.”

While Rachel did not name her, Twitter detectives dug up the clip in question from the reality TV show Being Bonang.

MISS South Africa 2018 Tamaryn Green-Nxumalo’s passionate about kids. So much so, that she’s working on opening a paediatric practice.

The 30-year-old medical doctor spoke to Daily Sun about what she’s working on. She told Daily Sun she’s just finished her diploma in child health.

“I’ve always had the love for medicine. But I won’t lie, it was quite exhausting when I went back after Miss SA in 2018, but I’ve always had a love for children. Paediatrics is what I want to pursue, so part of it is getting your diploma in child health,” Tamaryn said.

“So, finally, I got it and passed. Now, I’m working on a practice that I’ll be opening probably early next year.”

 

 

 

 

Tamaryn studied medicine at the University of Cape Town, graduating with a medical degree in 2019. She said going back to school to do her diploma in child health wasn’t easy.

“The journey was stressful. Going back and studying after you’ve had a year or two off is not easy, but you have to sit down and grind. In the end, you have to remind yourself what your purpose is. And my purpose is I love kids and want to do well in medicine and open a paediatric practice one day,” she said.

The former beauty queen is also quite a cook. She posts videos of herself cooking, and her fans love the Zulu traditional food she cooks for her husband, Ze Nxumalo.

“So, many people think I’m a cook and a chef now, and I’m not. I do all those videos for fun. I wanted to learn how to cook and did exactly that. Am I a Michelin star cook? No, I’m not. I just love exploring food. A lot of people have been approaching me to work with different food and promote certain products. But I always work with things I do love and feel I’ll actually use in real life. So, I’m moving in the direction of being a food influencer,” she said.

Tamaryn also recently announced that she’s expecting her first baby.

FORMER Orlando Pirates player Patrick Thwala says sports unite people.

Patrick was among the former PSL players, including the likes of ex-Jomo Cosmos midfielder Teboho Mokoena and former Amazulu player Bongani Mbhele, who helped their team Palm Ridge Masters win the Ekurhuleni Masters Super Cup (EMLSC).

They beat Team SA Masters from Daveyton 3-2 in the match played at SA Army Gymnasium Stadium in Heidelberg on Sunday, 25 August.

“Playing in the masters league helps most of us, as former PSL stars, to reunite and socialize. We had our fair share playing in the elite league. However, we are still involved in the game of billions,” said Patrick.
Patrick said that he may have retired from playing in the professional league, but he can still run and showcase his social skills.

“Soccer is in our blood. We may not be able to run like before, but hey, there’s still a lot of steam and energy in my body. I can still give opponents a run for their money,” he said.

Patrick was a dazzling, nippy, and quick left-winger who also had illustrious career playing for Santos and Mamelodi Sundowns.

He said that despite their professional soccer careers ending a few years ago, he and other former PSL players still keep fit and play in the masters league. His team won the Ekurhuleni Super League on Sunday.

The games were played under the banner of the Ekurhuleni Masters League and featured teams such as Inhliziyo FC, SA Army, Mfundo Park, Dawn Park United, Palm Ridge FC, and Team SA.

The league allows players who are over 35 years old to continue playing soccer, including former professional players and those who didn’t make it to the elite league.

The coach of Palm Ridge Masters, Isaac Mapalala, said he’s happy with his team winning the EMLSC.

“In three years, we have collected three cups as masters. We have won the league for two seasons, and now a Super Cup. We have been in the Ekurhuleni Masters League for three years, and we have made a good impact. At our disposal, we have good players, some of whom have played soccer at a professional level, and that makes us a good team,” Isaac said.

The coach of Team SA, Sello Skabate, said he was happy with his team’s performance despite losing to their opponent. He urged players who are over 35 years old to continue playing soccer and forming master teams in their areas.

“Playing in the masters indicates that a person never gets old, as long as a player is capable of playing even after the age of 35 years. Football will never die unless we decide to kill it because the young ones are looking up to us. So, we need to show them that through sports, everyone can still stay fit and be able to stay healthy,” Sello said.
He said they had good players such as Siyabonga Nomvethe, the late John “Shoes” Moshoeu, and the legendary Cameroon striker Roger Milla, who scored four goals at the 1990 Fifa World Cup aged 38.

“Milla helped Cameroon become the first African team to reach the World Cup quarterfinals. Four years later, at the age of 42, Milla broke his record as the oldest goal scorer in the World Cup by scoring against Russia in the 1994 Fifa World Cup,” said Sello.

The chairman of the Ekurhuleni Masters League, Bonginkosi Sityebi, said the league is made up of Stream A, which has 13 teams who are the main league, while Stream B is the second division and has 13 teams.

“Palm Ridge Masters and Team SA won their league in Stream A and B, respectively, and they qualified to play in the Super Cup. The runner-up teams of divisions A and B, Mfundo Park Masters and Dawn Park United, competed in the third and fourth positions, which was won by United.”

He said the league has been operating for over a decade, and it has been improving. Sityebi said that the league promotes sociality and strong bonds among veteran players.

“Currently, we are going into the off-season, and the league is going to resume on 13 October. When that happens, we would love to have more veteran teams in the league, so we are encouraging more veteran teams to come and join the club. Only players who are 35 years old and above can play in the league,” said Sityebi.

ZAHARA’S friend Csana is keeping the late singer’s legacy alive.

Csana recorded a song in 2023 before Zahara died, and she’s finally releasing the song titled Emva Kwendlu on Friday, 30 August.

The songstress, whose real name is Nonguquko Mlaza, spoke to Daily Sun about her song and relationship with Zahara.

 

 

 

 

“Zahara and I had a personal relationship. We met at a wedding in 2013. We were both booked there, and we hit it off. By that time, I was still in the Eastern Cape. When I got to Joburg in 2015, we met again, and she invited me to her house. We started getting along there. She asked about my journey in music and the difficulties I faced. We were friends until she passed in December,” she said,

Csana, who hails from Port St Johns in the Eastern Cape, said the song will educate people about the IsiXhosa culture and language.

Csana said Emva Kwendlu is about conversations she used to have with Zahara.

“Emva Kwendlu was recorded last year. However, we had been talking about doing it for a while. She came into the studio I usually recorded in, and we did the song. We are rural girls, as much as we’re in Joburg, but sometimes we would have conversations about going back home. The song is about girls sitting behind the house and looking at things happening around the village. Girls in the village do that a lot.

“We are taking people back to the rural areas. People must expect to feel nostalgia when listening to the song. They will also learn about our culture and the language,” she said.

The single is part of an album that Csana is working on.

The songstress said she misses Zahara.

The Loliwe hitmaker died on 11 December 2023 after struggling with liver complications.

“There are so many things I miss about her. She loved people and had a good heart. She didn’t mind giving you something she loved if you needed it. I’ll always remember her for her ubuntu. She was giving, and I miss her jokes and playfulness. Sometimes, we’d forget we were older because we would play so much,” Csana said.

The 65-year-old, whose real name is Solomon Molokoane from Soshanguve, north of Tshwane, went to the neighbouring country to perform but was rushed to hospital.

He’s known for his hits like Robala ka Kgotso, Ke Latlhile Bokinza, and Thaba ya Sione.

Solly has also made headlines for venturing into amapiano and performing at baby showers.

 

 

 

 

 

His team released a statement regarding his condition.

“Solly Moholo headed to Botswana to pre-launch his new upcoming album titled Wubani O zo Pepeza.

“Ntate Solly Moholo performed excellently at all his gigs in Botswana and was well-received by the people of Botswana,” the statement read.

They said things took a turn after his performance.

“Unfortunately, upon his return to his residence in Botswana, Ntate Moholo fell ill and had to be rushed to hospital,” the team said.

They said that they were all still there to give him support.

“As we speak, his management team is still in Botswana till Solly makes a full recovery in hospital. He’s much better than he was.”

They asked Mzansi for support and prayer.

“During this time, the family would like to humbly request that you keep Ntate Solly Moholo in your prayers as he makes full recovery. We’ll keep you updated regarding any developments.”
