  Zahara's sisters are being accused of doing something really bad. While Zahara is in the hospital fighting to get better, her sisters apparently took her bank cards without asking and went on a big shopping spree. This is happening even though Zahara's family and her fiancé, Mpho Xaba, have been asking for help to pay for her medical bills.   Mpho Xaba, who is married to Zahara, sent the sisters back home after finding out about what they did.   Here's what happened: Zahara's sisters, Lumka and Bandezwa Mkutukana, took Zahara's bank card and went on a shopping spree in Johannesburg. Instead of helping Zahara, who is very sick in the hospital, they went to buy things from fake brand shops in the city. They got fake stuff from brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Diesel. It seems like they wanted to feel like they were shopping in fancy places like Dubai, Paris, or New York. They even bought cheap makeup. A source close to the family shared this i

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing serious accusations of harming a 17-year-old girl back when she was in 11th grade. This is the fourth claim against the 54-year-old rapper and business mogul, who recently settled out of court with his ex-girlfriend Cassie, 37, after she accused him of assault.   Diddy is now dealing with four accusations of wrongdoing in just three weeks. In response to the latest claims, he expressed strong frustration, stating, "Enough is enough." He argued that he has been watching silently as people try to damage his reputation and legacy with what he called "sickening allegations" made by individuals seeking quick financial gain.   In a statement to Page Six, Diddy emphasized that he did not engage in the alleged wrongdoing and vowed to fight for his name, family, and the truth.   The recent accuser claims that when she was 17 in 2003, she was drugged and assaulted by Diddy, along with his long-time associate Harve Pierre and another un

  Motivational speaker Lebogang Motsumi, who lives with HIV, recently shared her story about how the late musician Zombo, born Tebogo Ndlovu, infected her with HIV when she was just a teenager. Zombo was a South African singer, songwriter, and music producer, best known as a member of the kwaito group Abashante. In a post on her social media on December 5, the 33-year-old speaker revealed that when she was 17, she went to a club with a friend to watch a performance by Chomee. During the show, she noticed Zombo winking at her. Motsumi explained that, at the time, she wanted to become pregnant with Zombo's baby because she thought it would bring her fame. However, she had no clue that Zombo intended to infect her with HIV. "He then reached out and asked me to watch a music show on SABC1, which I think is called 'Liveamp' now. He appeared on the show sitting in a wheelchair and disclosed his HIV status, mentioning that he spread the virus because he didn't want to die

There's some tension going on behind the scenes in the life of the famous musician Zahara and her soon-to-be husband, Mpho Xaba. Zahara, who just turned 36 in November, is currently facing health issues, and while doctors are working hard to help her, it seems like there's a disagreement between Xaba and Zahara's family. Xaba reportedly told the hospital that he's changing the agreement from last week. Originally, only he, Zahara's mother Nokhaya, and her two sisters and brother were allowed to visit her in the ICU at a private hospital. Now, he insists that only he will visit, claiming that Zahara's family is trying to control everything without helping with the hospital bills. There's a claim that Xaba overheard Zahara's family discussing money problems but not offering to pay for the urgent medical procedures needed to save her. As a result, he banned them from visiting Zahara. The source says Zahara's mom and brother haven't done anything wro

Yaya Mavundla, a well-known transgender activist, artist, and influencer, faced a scary incident recently during the 16 Days of Activism against Violence towards Women and Children. Yaya explained that she was attacked by security guards where she lives in Houghton. She called the police to report the incident and open a case. However, things took an unexpected turn.

So, I told myself I needed to quit," he said. After losing relationships, properties, and cars, DJ Sox saved money to go to a rehab center. Inside, he had a conversation with himself, realizing he needed a fresh start, addre

  Tough situations sometimes lead to extreme actions. That's what a social media user said about Metro FM when they announced an interview with the fake Dr. Matthew Lani. The interview happened during their popular show from 7 pm to 8 pm, hosted by Faith Mangope. Lani, known as a TikTok influencer, doesn't actually have any credentials as a doctor, despite claiming to be one.   Someone from inside Metro FM revealed that the producers planned the interview to boost ratings, but it backfired. The source mentioned that they were warned about upsetting fans when they were brainstorming ideas. "They were just focused on numbers and popularity, not considering that people would be upset," the source added. X (formerly Twitter) criticized the station for promoting a fraud by giving Lani a platform, even after he was exposed as a fake doctor.   A media specialist, Khanyi Magubane, called Lani's interview on Metro FM Talk a new low, saying it exploited his apparent
