Twitter can be a dystopian landscape/experience, where popular standpoints dominate. Expressing an unpopular, even plausible standpoint is hard. Sometimes we avoid or leave topics, not because we can't make a valid point, but to avoid those who don't accept lateral thinking.
If you’re still talking about a Gucci bag you bought and returned 4 years ago, I suspect this queen chose peace because she knew she’d never hear the end of it.
Also, I’m getting this Jub Jub interview from clips. But I don’t seem to see anything about his abuse of Kelly. Did MacG touch on that? Did Jub Jub talk about abusing Kelly and if he’s made any effort to make amends for that? But also, I guess he’s a man in South Africa. 🤷🏾
Spotify’s algorithm is superior. Their playlists are spotless and even when you play one song, you’ll be taken on a musical journey and even discover new artists in your same taste. Apple Music can go from a Joe Nina catalogue to Taylor Swift. YouTube is deplorable.
Jub Jub claiming Kelly Khumalo used muti to lure him from Amanda DuPont proves the desirability chat that was had yesterday and he weaponised that. People are easily believing it because, at the time, Kelly was dark and Amanda is very light and western. He knows that.
They’re literally mocking Waffles now and trying to make her skills questionable. Why are none of you talking about the fact that she was there all night and a slot became available for 30mins and she went in and went viral. She rocked the crowd on the spot!
Just a reminder- we still haven’t seen Vatiswa Ndara on our screens since that time she spoke out- just in case you didn’t believe blackballing exists in South-Ah.
You can’t control what triggers people. Lerato Kganyago has been called Bonang-Lite since she was on Soweto TV. Shwashwi did it. Kuli did it on headline. Celebrities did in interviews. Celebs she’s been the bigger person to laugh with now.
You have to be some level of gqwirhy to come for Lamiez. She does her work, goes home to her family and posts cute pics and vids in between. An unproblematic hun who’s just living her life. She never bothers anyone! Yho. Nikhohlakele maan.
Beyoncé’s performance is highly inspired by the style of Bob Fosse, where using your prop is drilled into you. I don’t believe she’s feeling the song but rather feeling the boots.
I am very interested in behavioural economics.
I maybe want to further unpack the phenomenon of South African women who date up and get excessive amounts of money but end up broke when said benefactor is gone
I see guys saying only on twitter & girls still date broke guys in real life. The problem isn’t necessarily brokenness… it’s loser energy. Telling someone you’re splitting the bill at the table after asking them out is loser energy. Discussing it while planning the date is not.

Penny, this is ridiculous expenditure. The Eiffel Tower was built to celebrate 100 years since the French revolution. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France for the US’s liberty. These were to celebrate progress and the betterment of peoples lives. What are we celebrating?
SA isn’t a real place 😂😂😂 a brand approached me to influence and then says I must pitch to them how I will show off their brand. So a content plan. And they MIGHT select me from there. So they have no ideas of their own and they also think I’m stupid.
If Chris Brown had never fumbled the bag & moved the same as Beyoncé, they wouldn’t think twice about HIM being the greatest performer since MJ. They were already easily touting him as the next MJ after he sang and did some back flips. The problem is simply that Bey isn’t a man.

It’s not even something you learn at the level of government. The very basics at home. You have a family. If you have no groceries in the house and your children are hungry, are you gonna take your last R2000 and book flights to Durban for the July because you’ll look good?
Tyla is good! Not once does she ever check what’s happening behind her and she never misses her mark- the way she didn’t check before dropping sideways. That means she knows everything will happen at the back and that means she rehearses every show to the bone! 🙌🏾
Musa Keys is such a superstar. He gives us good music, he dresses well and his music is pretty hot! On stage everything comes together and it’s an explosion. 🔥🔥🔥
If South African women were to pay a dowry, (Money or property brought by a woman to her husband for their marriage) do you think SA women would be married?

The monuments were prioritised only after the needs of people. The Statue of Liberty was delayed because of war. It wasn’t delivered amidst war. The flag is being delivered amidst adverse struggle, not after. 22mil could be better used and plenty people have given examples.
I worked on Housewives of Gqeberha & saw it’s actually so hard to get actual rich housewives in SA. We had ladies pull out after showing interest because of pushback from their husbands- & I can guess why. I’m guessing that’s generally the challenge across the board.
Say what you want but these are the only REAL RICH housewives. Their events , houses , husbands are the best. They the only ones with a storyline regarding being housewives ! And Nonku has tried luck just isn’t in her side ! Keep these 3 and the rest can go !

Thank you to everyone who had my back yesterday. I go back to my LiveAmp Mix 7 years ago. I trended 3 days because of homophobic remarks on social media. Bad remarks will never deter me. I’m still here living my dream because there’s way more love. Drake my foot. Been dancing!
Also, this assertion Nigerians make about Amapiano is so weird. When Afro Beat was growing and even at its peak, South Africans were doing the most. Nigerian artists were often here performing and headlining. The music was and still is all over our radio and music channels.
Tyla is famous & hot enough right now for people to actively leave their homes to see her, but people know Bonang in SA. People speak like her. At her peak Bonang was being escorted by police as well but Bonang was a top performing presenter on SABC 1- Aerial and Satellite.
Mzansi compares Bonang Matheba to Tyla
Bonang Matheba and Tyla were the talk on social media as people compared them.
The media personality has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, and she’s made big moves, up to the international level.
Tyla broke into fame…
😂 that show was a bit of a nightmare. We’d start the season with 13 kids for 13 episodes and then parents would come to their senses about SARS or people just weren’t rich in real life and we would have less and less people to shoot.
Please. Rihanna stays going to Barbados. Obviously kunomama amhambayo kubo. Beyoncé yena owakhe wenza ama house calls because uSisi has water and mountains and beehives in her yard. AboKanye baphahlela ama album eStadium ukubiza abantu. It’s not Illuminati: is’hlahla. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

People on here fascinate me- especially locally. You know people like this, in this mental state. You can see the general indifference from the people around- they know him. There’s no way you’ve never encountered someone like this in your townships or villages. Today nimangele🤣
MaWhoo isn't a first language speaker of English but you guys live in South Africa; don't pretend you don't get the gist of what she's saying. You understand people who speak like this in real life. You're being tacky.
These people are busy sympathising with a man who abused a woman and has never shown remorse for it. A man that you seemingly forgave for killing children because he released a song with Tshepo Tshola and entertained you Sundays by catching cheats.
Now let me tell you, this girl came in Altitude Beach after the summit huns. She didn’t walk in; she danced from when she entered the gate all the way to the her spot. Something was in the air and I loved it 🥲
Lerato went and created her own world where she minds her business and works. People still don’t want her to have peace. How she reacts when she snaps is triggered is not up to you. You also can’t hold celebrities, who are human, to emotional standards you wouldn’t live up to.
It’s funny now but the homophobia laden monkey pox conversation will bite government in the butt. Heterosexual men who contract the virus will avoid getting treatment for fear of being labelled as gay. We know how that ended with hiv/aids.
I love the casting on
#TheUltimatum
. It’s so South African. And we all know Khanya. Please ✋🏾 violence aside; Joburg millennial huns who went to multiracial schools and have their lives together?! 😂😂😂
I almost forgot how a girl last night came back and touched my hair even though everyone at their table told her not to. And I realised her issue wasn’t about touching my hair; girls don’t like femme gay men who refuse to be objectified for their entertainment.
The process of becoming a Sangoma is so challenging. It’s wild that people think the celebrities who accept their calling do it for vibes. You go harder on them than the priests that pop up everywhere. But akere priests are better because at least white people like them?
Behind the scenes, there are people who have deliberately put Lerato as bait for bullying. Adult men. Her bullying has even been systematic. How she is reacting now isn’t over a tweet by Musa- it triggered memories of an entire industry that didn’t want her to win for no reason.
What is it that makes us not take to the street? People in western countries especially, will strike for less. The general sentiment here is that we will vote better next time. That’s 2024 and we’re in a mess now. What would it take for us to start doing something now?
Halle hid her pregnancy because the entertainment industry ages you when you physically show signs of adulthood. You get less work because you become "less desirable". The busiest women in Hollywood all have no kids, adopted kids or had kids relatively later in life.
These celebs have more than one child from different fathers out of wedlock.
As influencers and role models to young woman they are setting a bad example.
He’s been saying this but we’re here getting dragged by Americans for the now highest unemployment rate I the world. Do you know how big the world is? So hypothetically, Iraq is in chaos but you still have a better chance of getting a job than in SA.
Sabelo put men onto how they can broaden their spectrum of influencing but it’s the domestication they’re worried about. The male influencing space needs to grow. You’ll continue to watch girls do all kinds of campaigns while you’re only ever booked to help new songs trend.
The thing about Beyoncé is that you just have to let her happen to you. All this anticipation/yearning for B7 at every “clue” will give you high blood. Just enjoy what is out and have peace. B7 will happen to us randomly on a Sunday in August 2025.
Every interview Lerato did, she was asked about Bonang. For nothing. When Bonang left Metro FM, Lerato was the one who was bullied; not the management at the time. No one even asked Bonang why she left. They assumed and attacked Lerato for months.
I absolutely admire Lamiez and LKG. They’ve grown to build their dream lives through so many hurdles in an unkind industry, with an equally unkind social media audience. I’m also glad the audience on the ground has always shown them they beg to differ.
@Azandamashenge
They’re not. She doesn’t have to evolve your way and frankly, if she’s got the energy to start a new career in entertainment, good for her. Not everyone wants to pretend to like business because they can’t do anything else with their forward trajectory in the limelight.
It brings up memories of the very bullying by Musa & many other people on this app. If not Musa, someone was going to cause her to snap. Anyone here, especially those working in entertainment & the ones who’ve been tweeting from 2010, know how much bullying Lerato has lived with.
It would be nice but we now know better about things like mental health. Imagine 10 people saying bad things about you back to back? In hindsight, that wasn’t so great and I can only imagine the people on the receiving end.
She was hungry to dj and at that moment she gave her all for a set that she literally sat there hoping would happen. It may not have happened and she was gonna try again. Also how many places had she done the same before. Why are they not focused on that inspiring part?!
I’m watching Totally Spies and Alex has to get a job because her allowance from her parents isn’t enough. Not WOOHP making these girls save the world for free! 🥲 Being a superhero is so exploitative because the others also have day jobs.
Today is the day!

Now that SA has a music genre that is competing globally, they wanna downplay it. The cheek to make a song and name it “Amapiano”. And most of all, I very rarely see Amapiano SAn artists booked in Nigeria. Almost like an attempt at erasure.
I’m definitely resting all week this week. 🥲 on Saturday I’m playing Pride, Queer Social, Vogue Nights, Basha Uhuru, The After Pride Party. And 🥉. Every single set has to be different. I’m dancing at each one. But wow, Camagu. It’s what I asked for! ❤️🙏🏾
You have to really look at this image to see the actual suspects, 2 of which are white, have their faces blurred in the depth of field. The black woman in the glasses is a larger figure, not identified as a criminal in the article but you get why she’s dominant in the image.
