Moja Love defends the show Isencane Lengane, saying it relates to everyday challenges.

The show, which follows the journey of Siyacela Dlamuka and his wife Thando Dlamuka from Nkandla in northern KZN, has faced criticism for its content and language, which many consider vulgar.

The couple entered into marriage as teenagers. Siyacela was 16 years old, and Thando was 15 years old when they tied the knot.In June 2024, Sandile Mdluli, a concerned viewer who is also the national ambassador for Brothers For Life and the international ambassador for Humanitarian Institute Africa, wrote to the Broadcasting Complaint Council of South Africa (BCCSA).

 

 

 

He urged that the show’s content be restricted, arguing it lacks educational value. In the email to the BCCSA, Mdluli stated that the insults, particularly from Siyacela and some of his in-laws, are harmful to children.

“The continued vulgarity and insults in the show, especially from Siyacela Dlamuka and some of his in-laws, are detrimental to our kids and young people who might think it is okay to speak disrespectfully to adults. We cannot ignore the fact that our societal bad norms, TV plays a pivotal role in either promoting or perpetuating immoral behaviours. For now, I appeal to you that the show be restricted in its content and ease up on disrespect and vulgar language,” wrote Mdluli.He warned that if unaddressed, it would necessitate the next step to mobilize a petition to stop the show.

The BCCSA acknowledged the receipt of the email.

Moja Love spokeswoman Monzwakazi Cekete stated that the channel was not aware of the complaint.

She defended the show, saying it highlights social ills in society.

“It may well be provocative; however, it’s important for such a show to be aired as it showcases the everyday realities of GBV, cultural intolerance, and provides an opportunity for debate,” said Monzwakazi.“While the channel respects viewers on social media and the criticism in line with the right to freedom of expression as enshrined in the constitution, the channel believes the show contributes to the discourse relating to everyday challenges not only facing Thando but women who do not have a voice nor their struggles shown on television.”

Popular radio personality, Lerato Kganyago has deactivated her X account after being cyberbullied for supporting Miss South Africa finalist Chidinma Adetshina.

In a video that surfaced on social media, Lerato read out the mean comments and mentioned women who bullied her.The video garnered lots of views and comments; while some expressed their disappointment in people who bullied the radio presenter, others poked fun at her.“This was really heartbreaking to watch, we should do better as women, saying such things to other women is absolutely uncalled for. It’s okay to have different views/opinions, it’s just not okay to be mean,” a tweep wrote.“This is so sad to watch. Fertility issues are a sensitive topic and I can’t believe women can say such hurtful things to each other over an argument that is completely unrelated,” another wrote.
 

 

Well-known South African songstress, Kelly Khumalo’s legal case against her ex-boyfriend, Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye, was dismissed by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) due to insufficient evidence.

Khumalo accused Maarohanye of rape and attempted murder, but failed to provide medical records or police’s J88 form to support her claims.Maarohanye’s lawyer, Ntsako Baloyi, argued that Khumalo’s allegations were a vindictive ploy, triggered by a podcast interview in which Maarohanye made controversial statements about her.

Baloyi claimed that the charges were an afterthought and lacked corroboration from medical reports or other evidence. The NPA ultimately decided to drop the charges, citing no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution.

However, she quickly deleted the post.Social media users immediately started speculating that the boyfriend physically assualted her, expressing mixed reactions.

 

 

The two just recently got back together after going their separate ways some months ago. The clear reason behind their break up, and later on getting back together, is not known. Leeroy is reportedly a married man and we have no idea where things stand between him and his wife.

Fame comes with many struggles. This includes the lack of privacy, paparazzi, rumors, stalkers, and the constant pressure of being in the public eye. Despite our perceptions of fame, the reality is far from what it truly is.



Meanwhile, American singer Doja Cat recently left people talking with her new strange looks which many associate with the Illuminati. Her father, Dumisani Dlamini saw himself getting trolled for her choices but he has since come out to defend his daughter. And his response was very clear and straight to the point. Her life, her choices.

Congratulatory messages are to Maps Maponyane on his ‘engagement’ to former Miss SA Shudu Musida. Except, the announcement of the news – via a publication – is the first he has heard of it.

Despite keeping their romance on the low, the beauty queen and the screen star have been romantically linked since 2022.

According to the publication, Maps’ family sent a delegation to Shudu’s village in Limpopo to ask for her hand in marriage.

A “source” told the publication: “Maps is serious about building a family unit with Shudufhadzo, and he has contemplating on his decision for a while now, and it’s finally here. He can’t hide his intentions any longer as wedding bells are looming”.

On X, many South Africans were amused by Maps Maponyane’ reaction to learning about his upcoming “nuptials.”Back in 2022, Shudu Musida and Maps Maponyane first sparked rumours that they were more than acquaintances.

As brand ambassadors of property development group Tricolt, the duo had been booked to work together on several campaigns. Over the years, fans noticed how the duo publicly supported one another at events. They’ve also left flirty messages under each other’s Instagram posts.

Certified fondness feels like security and constancy. You don’t worry about isolating or your associate leaving you startlingly. Right when they leave town, you might miss them, but you are also happy for them, since you want them to travel and have new experiences. In the event that you’ve been searching for love for a long time with no karma, you could start feeling like it’s

absolutely miserable.

Regardless, most experts regarding this situation would concur, leaving love is positively not an unbelievable a decision, especially on the off chance that its something you genuinely need it. There is another thing to value other than meeting the singular you care profoundly about. It’s more concerning commitment, trust, respect and altogether more. Being captivated is the best gift ever, finding love and friendship all the while is more than a

gift.

Grateful for investigating; the subjects that have been presented here are open for boss new development and focal appraisals. It would be major if you could pass on a comment under and yielded the post to in any event people as you feel happy with doing in that issue.
