In this week’s news… one of the most written about stories this past week is the news that Bonang will be hosting a reality show called Clash Of The Choirs. This is an adaptation of a US show, which had the likes of Michael Bolton, Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey, Kelly Rowland and Blake Shelton in its cast.

The show will be aired on Mzansi Magic, a surprise considering that Bonang is “sabc 1″ and Mzansi Magic, at one point tried to position themselves as a Fo Sho competitor. In her interview with Real Magazine, Bonang revealed that she has a new show coming up on SABC 1, which covers entertainment news and fashion. Well, I hope it comes soon coz I’m so not seeing the connection between her and a choir show… maybe that’s why SABC 1 allowed it… it makes a little sense.

How the show works:

Seven musical celebrities will travel to a designated province to audition up-and-coming amateur choirs.
The successful choirs return to Johannesburg with their celebrity choir master to compete against other celebrity headed choirs in a nine week musical bonanza where R250 000 is up for grabs for the charity of their choice.

Audition dates are yet to be announced so if you are in a choir, keep it locked, we’ll let you know of dates when we find out.

In other news… Prosper Mkwaiwa and Tina were allegedly shot by a man who demanded they have sex while he watched. Luckily they were only shot in their legs… right legs and Prosper managed to fight the guy off. Kuthiwa they were at Morula Sun when this happened…

Thank goodness the couple is safe and sound. Sick world we live in.

On a side note… a friend of mine sent a message saying she wouldn’t be surprised if they were fighting bona and there was no gunman. I don’t imagine Prosper to be the gun type so I’m not too convince of this theory.

If you want something to go TJO about… read this week’s Drum with Kelly Khumalo on the cover

Like, the whole interview is about  Jub Jub… It’s so sad that little angel is caught in the middle of this childish war and it’s heartbreaking that no one on Kelly’s team, whether it’s friends or family is wise enough to advise her to be the adult in this whole mess and let the JubJub slander end with the book. This whole thing is going too far… one of them needs to put a stop to it manje… sekwanele.

The most shocking statement was about her telling DRUM she’ll never allow Mama Jacky to see her son..

“Even if it was her dying wish to see him. It would never happen. Besides, she hardly has a good track record when it comes to raising boys, does she? Just look at her son.”

Awu kodwa Jesu… is this necessary? I’d love to know what Jub Jub and Kelly will tell Christian when he’s old enough to read everything they’ve been saying about each other in the media.

In happier news…

Congratulations to Leleti Khumalo on her recent wedding. Check out pics in the latest Drum. Beautiful bride, we wish her all the happiness.

In a statement released yesterday, the Presidency explained why President Jacob Zuma dropped charges against Zapiro:

President Jacob Zuma withdrew his claim for damages against cartoonist “Zapiro” to avoid setting a legal precedent, the presidency said on Sunday.

“The president… would like to avoid setting a legal precedent that may have the effect of limiting the public exercise of free speech, with the unforeseen consequences this may have on our media, public commentators and citizens,” his spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement on Sunday.

He said Zuma had decided to withdraw his claim, made in December 2008, against Jonathan “Zapiro” Shapiro and Avusa Media, the publishers of The Sunday Times, and the newspaper’s editor at the time Mondli Makhanya “after careful consideration and consultation with his legal team”.

He had also decided to make a contribution to their costs.

“It is the president’s view that a legal battle against individuals and institutions will be an unnecessary diversion,” said Maharaj.

Zuma would rather encourage the people he was taking action against to become partners in efforts to address the problems facing the country, and to get South Africans to reach out to each other across historical divides to forge a common nationhood, “putting the country first.”

Zuma had sought R5 million in damages for defamation and impairment of his personal dignity over the publication of Zapiro’s Lady Justice rape cartoon in September 2008. IOL

 

Ayi, Mzansi, Happy Monday :-)

  3. FrozenBubblez on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 4:19 am 

    Do Tina and prosper really expect us to believe this crap? Both shot in the legs, right legs…..hayi suka! People will do anything to be talked about again. Kelly is taking this thing too far…out here acting like the victim who got kidnapped, tied up and force fed cocaine..she must sit down now sidiniwe ngalamabali! Congrats to sarafina, God’s blessings on her marriage. Ok can someone explain to me the difference between the zapiro cartoon and polela’s vaseline quip…I know zapiro used rape as a metaphor blah blah blah but it’s still A bad metaphor in my opinion

  4. Babyluv on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 6:10 am 

    Mxm prosper n tina. kelly must just fuseg

  5. bongi on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 6:20 am 

    Can kelly just stop with this stupid looking hairlineless weave…imbi. The child looks a lot like jubjub, they just need to remove the dreads on him. Leleti really looked lovely and yu can see she is happy.

  6. zara on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 6:23 am 

    How cute is Kellt’s son though awwwwwe ! Pity he has a selfish woman for a mother!

  7. bumbum on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 6:56 am 

    How can Kelly say these bad things about Jub’s mom, she’s not doing a better job either. Kelly nalisaka lomgqakazo, hlalaphansi uwubale.

  8. fabulicious on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 7:00 am 

    Prosper looks sicknyana in that pic, his left hand looks like the one we passed around in the Bio lab when we were learning about carpals, metacarpals and all the other bones in the hand.

    Kelly must SHURRUP now!!

  9. Soccerbabe on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 7:05 am 

    Kelly is obsessed with Molemo, she just can’t not mention his name mxmmm akasixolele toe!!! Did you guys watch that thing called a reality show thou Rolling with K? I have never seen such terrible acting Nkosi yam. Kudlaliwe ngabantu kuloyamhlola wento!!!

  10. MK-Ultra on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 7:58 am 

    The Prosper & Tina story is too far fetched, I bet they are broke and this is just a ploy to extort funds from Morula Sun.. Watch as they sue.

    Kelly is a straatmate finish & klaar and whoever regards her as a role model needs to have their heads examined.

  11. Leungo on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 7:59 am 

    I said it last week Friday on AG that Kelly will one day regret what she is doing. If she is not careful, her son will come to resent her whe he is older.
    To day those things about your child’s grandmother is very low. She has a very high oponion of herself, forgetting that she was whoring herself on stage just so that people could just give her and her music their time of the day.

    Last night while doing the dishes my TV happened to be on Etv and I could not believe what I saw. It would be better if that show was cancelled. It is beyond terrible, in fact it is embarassing and vomit-incuding.

  12. sweetbabe on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 8:00 am 

    lol… uTina & Prosper bafuna i attention nje kuphelab

  13. True-self on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 8:17 am 

    Bonang really choir show!! *claps hands* ok yesterday I watched kelly’s ekasi story, I couldn’t stop laughing what is that vele, uKelly uyanampuzela when she’s speak. Prosper n tina I don’t believe ya’ll.

  14. bongi on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 8:34 am 

    @ zara thanks for the book – it messed up my sleeping pattern, but i trully enjoyed it..can you send met second one please..

  15. Smizah on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 8:35 am 

    Such a cute child this Christian bantu… wish he didn’t have cray-cray parents…

    Happiness for Leleti…. But you know, I need to have a serious conversation with God, bathong this is marriage number what for Leleti? Thina kunzima no-marriage number one lo we mbala!! neeeeh maan Jah is being out order…

    Why is Prosper always involved in shady business kodwa, that’s always not his fault? If he’s not getting beaten up by mechanics he’s getting shot by psychos… he’s in serious need of a life audit this man…

  16. Gloss on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 8:38 am 

    Kelly Khumalo and Christian looking good, happy and healthy. Was watching her “reality” show izolo and iyoooooo, Kelly has ass for dayzzzzz! Just ukuthi her and her sister must go for english lessons nje. English yabo is beyond crap.

    Tina & prosper, something smells fishy here. The alleged shooter walked in with Tina, didn’t Tina ever think of asking this k’ba uyaphi? Then he jumped out of the hotel room window? I’m supposing this was ground floor, yes, no, maybe? What about the camera’s? Can this man be identified? Maybe on the corridors of the hotel, foyer, him jumping out. One article says Tina was with friends in another room, so where does this shooter come from? Another article says Tina was walking back from performing. Ai, amanga angaga.

    Happy for Lelethi, its good to that love never ends. That we have more than one soulmate. This skin disease is quite common neh? Cause even Gayton McKenzie unayo

    Bonang, uyangi’booooorrrrrrrraaaaa. Like can she disappear? For good

  17. Ms.E on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 8:39 am

    I find Kelly’s twang unbearable and while watching Real Goboza ((boOom))there’s gog’ Uyanda with her bantu nasal twang not forgetting Lerato Kganyago with her Kourtney Kardashian phony accent.. Not trailing far behind is Babalwa Mneno, the least said the better… Why do this people feel the need to twang???

  20. fabulicious on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 9:11 am 

    In other news, where is Bongani Fassie?
    Did he finally check himself into Rehab?
    We hope so

  21. Mathaz on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 9:20 am 

    I feel bad for Kelly and Jub Jub’s son.Why is it difficult for them to not involve this child in their fights.Kelly is not fair shem,hope she realises this before it’s too late.Dont forget the sentencing tomorrow.

    Jacob Zuma should fire his advisors,he should not have sued in the first place.

  22. zara on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 9:21 am 

    hahahahahahaha @MK-Ultra to feel important; its human nature! its a tough world out there!

    So in my news; my friends were going out clubbing so i asked to tag along and we end up at a club somewhere central and it looked like an episode of Zara this is your life….. The exes episode……

  23. MK-Ultra on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 9:24 am 

    Mathaz tune into 702, Redi is debating the issue with Zaphiro & Mac.

  24. Occupation on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 9:26 am 

    I work with foreigners from all over the world (Europeans) and the Engrish ephuma lapho? Lapho ke no one cares. It’s only a darkie that will laught at another darkies Engrish. With that said…PUTTING ON AN ACCENT and failing at it is unacceptable. Just speak your Engrish and “live the twang at the bruhkfirst table”

  25. MK-Ultra on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 9:30 am 

    Mara Zara they sound retarded mos… This days when asking a girl out I ask who do they look up to & if the names Lerato, Babalwa, Uyanda, Khanyi & Kelly are mentioned I run.

  30. Nonkuku on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 10:11 am 

    Kelly has an amazing voice! Stick to that and only that sisi, uvale umlomo. Listening to her latest song with Robbie Malinga

  31. lamarOdom on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 10:33 am 

    The comments about how people speak english are annoying. As if people don’t know that not everyone had a privilege of attending model c schools. If you speak good english, good for you! Stop making stupid remarks.

    You can’t recall it, Ntombi. Once it’s gone; it’s gone.

  36. Hunt on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:02 am 

    My bad, I didn’t know about that.

  37. Monei on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:12 am 

    don’t worry @hunt.neither did i. google is my friend ;-)

  38. Makgotso on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:14 am 

    Soccerbabe, I watched at the back of my mind was asking myself why am I watching it but it’s because I was bored I couldn’t relate to x-factor because I missed the previous episodes so I can’t watch people being send home when I didn’t hear them singing so I opted for it since ne episode ye Mentalist was a repeat.

    Someone must advice Kelly not to entertain media hleeeeee just close her mouth what happened on don’t hang your dirty laundry in public.

    I’m so happy for Leleti bantu all the best in her marriage.

  39. Ntombi Yomzulu on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:19 am 

    Fabu nevermind my baby

    Thanks Monei and Hunt, email hambile hambile seyifundiwe :(

  40. Biskiti on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:24 am 

    I know Kelly is probably not even a quater-lady of what princess Diana was, mara i suspect she is keeping Christian away from the Jubjubie family for a good reason, maybe they have never acknowledged him as their grandson, Jubjub never paid for damage, maybe he/they don’t support Christian in any way, just maybe nje. Where I come from Mmagongwana oe tshwara (thipa) ka fo bogaleng…

  41. Gloss on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:29 am 

    @lamar, then don’t speak it if uya beda waya waya. Nobody said isiZulu or any other language is out of bounce. There’s nothing as bad as listening to somebody who can’t phrase a proper sentence.

  42. Silvio on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:32 am 

    Jub-Jub and Kellyz baby is goign to be a heartbreaker shem!!!

    i dont want to see Bonang on tv… unless ofcourse im working with her. lol

    politics i dont entertain but Zuma must just kick himself out. that position is not worthy of some-one like him. Motlante might do a better job #hoping

  43. Biskiti on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 11:37 am 

    Apart from keeping mum from the media, Kelly should ditch the Lion Lager look, that weave is nasty shem.

    Letsogo la ga Prosper, nka namela setlhare sa mmutlwa ka shoto fa nka kopana le motho wa matsogo a sooo bosigo! tina le yena looks weird lapho.

    Leleti looks beautiful maan, who’s the groom though?

  44. MK-Ultra on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 12:10 pm 

    Biskiti whether ko bo Molemo ba amogetse ngwana or not, gao tsamaye o gasa gasa ditaba ko straateng.

    Gloss I think Lamar-O-dom read our comments up side down. He must scroll up read properly then maybe he will understand that we’re not bashing but saying there’s nothing wrong with an ANC comrade accent.

    For Kelly this is just a publicity stunts, she wants to remain in the spot light as much as possible so you can watch her reality show, buy her cd and book. So nje she is gna ride this jub jub thing till it gets extra tired.

    And as for the Gerry saga I’m not really surprised rumour has it that vele its not happy dappy at home, it just goes to show that money can’t buy you happiness and that looks can’t help you keep a man.

  73. Ntombi Yomzulu on Mon, 29th Oct 2012 3:56 pm
