The Real Housewives of Johannesburg is set to debut on 1Magic on Friday 3 August at 9pm.

 

Viewers will be privy to the lives of the glamorous wealthy Johannesburg women and take a tour of their wardrobes and get VIP access to their lavish parties from the comfort of their living rooms.

The reality series documents the highs and lows of the six fiery affluent characters, as they let Mzansi into their lives – from their luxurious homes to their prestigious family life.

 At the centre of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg, we meet Madame, Evodia Mogase; a warm, talkative, straight talker originally from Soweto.

She started off as a teacher, then owned a catering business and is today a vegetation expert.

Evodia joins the show with her daughter, Mercy Mogase.  The bubbly health fanatic studied mechanical engineering and later joined herbal life as an ambassador and motivational speaker.

We also meet a warm and charming beauty entrepreneur who owns a spa, Brinnette Seopela.

She finds her happy ending at the heart of this series and is the glue that holds the Housewives together.

If you have been wondering who is the woman behind The Naked DJ? A former Miss Botswana, 2nd princess, Naledi Willers.

The Real Housewives of Johannesburg reveals her life as a wife, a Law student with a strong presence as she leaves no stone unturned and speaks her mind.

Alongside these interesting ladies on the move is a former lawyer turned businesswoman with ambitions of becoming a superstar, Christall Kay.

Originally from Durban, Christall has walked the runway as a model and bagged a couple of commercials to prepare for a career as a singer. Watch how she balances it all.

Lastly, we step into Busisiwe Ter Mors’ heels, also known as Lendy. A keen golfer born in South Africa but raised in England.

She is a mother of two with enough time to enjoy the joys of being a housewife, from living an affluent lifestyle to enjoying simple get-togethers hosting her friends and family.

Friday viewing is sure going to be interesting as we follow the ladies living the life that many dream of…

See for yourself and fall in love with their personalities, their passions, aspirations and their daily lives.

Zimbabwe’s Danai Gurira is The New Face Of Reebok

The “Black Panther” star Danai Gurira has joined Reebok’s growing female roster for an upcoming campaign later this year.

 

Reebok continues its streak of partnerships with famous faces with the announcement of its newest campaign star: Danai Gurira of “Black Panther” and “The Walking Dead” fame.

Gurira joins Reebok’s growing female roster — Gal Gadot, who teamed up the brand in March, Gigi Hadid and Ariana Grande — for an upcoming women’s campaign later this year.

Danai brings with her a unique intensity that’s already inspired countless women to discover their own strength,” said Todd Krinsky, GM of Reebok Performance in an official statement.

“We’re thrilled to have her join our family and help lead this inspiring coalition.”

For Reebok, Gurira will apply her activism towards championing the beneficial relationship between physical and mental strength.

“My goal is to work with Reebok to galvanize women in all communities to find strength within themselves so that we may continue to lead this cultural revolution. Each one of us should be hero to each other.”

Celebrities Are Losing Millions of Followers as Twitter crackdown on Fake Accounts

Some of the world’s biggest celebrities have lost millions of Twitter followers after the company cracked down on “locked” accounts.

 

From former President Barack Obama to Justin Bieber, the internet’s biggest social media influencers lost millions of Twitter followers Thursday as the platform began a massive purge of suspicious accounts.

By cracking down on fake accounts, Twitter hopes to restore faith in the controversy-ridden platform where influence—from entertainment to politics—can be inflated by automated or fake followers, the New York Times reports. Twitter said it expects the initiative to reduce the total follower count on the platform by a significant 6%, the Times reports.

Across the board, Twitter’s most followed celebrities felt a cut on Thursday. Katy Perry, the most followed person on Twitter, lost at least 1.5 million followers, leaving her leaving her at 107 million followers, Variety reports.

Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, lost about 2 million each, leaving them at 104 million and 83.2 million respectively. RihannaEllen DeGeneresLady Gaga,a lso all lost about 2 million followers.

“This specific update is focused on followers because it is one of the most visible features on our service and often associated with account credibility,” Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s legal, policy, and trust and safety lead, wrote in a blog post.

Basketball star Shaquille O’Neal also lost about a million from his 15.3 million followers, and Oprah lost about 1.4 million followers, the Times reports.

Politicians felt the slash too. Barack Obama lost over 2 million followers from his previous 103.63 million, leaving him at 101 million, while President Donald Trump lost 340,000 followers, taking him from 53.4 million to 53.1 million.

Twitter’s primary account seems to have taken the greatest hit, dropping from 62.85 million to 55.35 million followers on Thursday — a drop of 12%.

Meanwhile, most regular accounts may see a cut of about three or four followers, according to the company.

Adrian TATE’s remix of Beautiful Ndozvandiri will have you crushing on Self

You know that feeling when we are sometimes our own worst enemies, listening to that negative self-talk we hear inside our heads?

 

That moment when you get defeated by believing what people say and think about you? Yah we all have been there!

But then there’s that one song that always has the power to change your mood and ultimately how you feel about yourself.

Adrian TATE just made a perfect remix to an already perfect song Beautiful Ndozvandiri which was originally performed by Tamy Moyo, Takura and Dobba Don.

When Tamy dropped the song in January last year we called it ‘a song that every black girl needs to hear’ 

Now the song has been given a new life and meaning all together ‘It’s now a song EVERYBODY needs to hear’

Winky D releases politically charged Song in time for the elections

With exactly 16days left for Zimbabweans to speak out through a ballot box Winky D has delivered some leadership bars.

 

Riding on Tman’s heavy baseline Elders Riddim, The Gafa asks for a chance to sit in parliament and close a gap that is leading to the social ills left unaddressed in his new single Parliament.

“Hapachada mafun apa pakuda chiGafa muparamende, Ndipei mukana pakaboka ndivhare vende….” says Winky D in one of the lines.

Parliament is a mind-opening track to high-density suburbs residents where one become a Member of Parliament who only shows up during election time and have less knowledge on their daily life routine.

In as much Zimbabwe’s high-density suburbs have literally become a hallmark of social vices most of which are chat topping, MPs from such areas merely address key issues in Parliament.

As problems seem not to disappear and the angels are yet to save, Winky D now ask for the Speaker of Parliament to go down to the Ghetto and discover how the social ills have been a societal cancer of late to the youths.

“Point of order Mr Speaker paGhetto ndinokumbira kuti dai masvika, hapamboda zvekutumira huyai mega muzvionere kuti maGhetto youth akasticker”

The mention of House of Hunger writer Dambudzo Marechera is a personification that would make it easy for senior citizens to understand how youths are living including the learned ones.

But the message seemed to be directed at President ED whose second name is Dambudzo.

Winky D who grew up in Kambuzuma has been always expressing his concern and a deep pain with how ghetto youths are shortening their lifespan.

Can this track be a hint that they he Gombwe wants a Parliament seat as an independent candidate?  But again his hope can only be in the next five years.

With how comically-painful the Parliament sessions are it’s high time to have meaningful discussions and top-notch solutions or ideas so – “Hapachada mafun pakuda chiGafa muParamende” says Winky D in Gafa Chete chorus.

Kendall Jenner Beefs Up Security Team, ‘scared’ of Tinashe

Kendall Jenner has reportedly beefed up her security team after Ben Simmons’ ex Tinashe sent her nasty messages about her new NBA player boyfriend.  

 

According to Radar Online, a source has revealed that Jenner, 22, is “scared” of the singer-songwriter.

“Tinashe’s been DMing Kendall like crazy, telling her how bad of guy Ben is and warning her to dump him. She’s writing nasty things about Ben and it’s upsetting Kendall.”

The informant tells Radar exclusively Kendall’s in shock Tinashe, 25, is behaving this way and feels her safety may be compromised.

“She’s hiring more bodyguards for herself for those times Ben’s not by her side to protect her,” the source adds.

“She feels this Tinashe situation is seriously a thin line between love and hate.” Last week, Tinashe was at the same club as Jenner and Simmons.

She told paparazzi he was texting her while there with Jenner.

Sources close to him told TMZ that Tinashe was lying and admitted it when Simmons called her out on it.

Reports have since gone around that Simmons and Jenner think Tinashe is stalking them and are getting extra security.

Kendall Jenner who is half-sisters with  Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian stole the headlines in June accused of a being in a cheating scandal with Ben who was dating Zimbabwean Tinashe at the time.

Kendall Jenner’s summer romance with NBA player Ben Simmons first survived a love triangle with Anwar Hadid.

But its second hurdle—the drama with his ex Tinashe becoming tabloid fodder—is really getting to her.

Baby Boom: Chengeto Brown is Pregnant!

Zim Celebville, now, more than ever, has been proudly displaying their adorable baby bumps rather than hiding them.  

 

Pop Star and mbira player Chengeto Brown on Wednesday revealed to her Instagram followers the bun that’s been keeping her busy in the kitchen.

There’s nothing cuter than a baby bump — which might explain why so many of her followers went absolutely gaga when she shared a photo of her growing belly.

Her shocked followers quickly sent out their congratulatory messages to Chengeto who still look absolutely amazing while pregnant.

The picture had a caption “First of all, why were you yelling in my ear, second of all, I was hungry” presumably referring to the male standing next to her whom we believe to be the boyfriend/fiance/husband.

Chengeto, born to now late parents Andy Brown and Chiwoniso Maraire has been missing on the airwaves since her famous collaboration with sister Ammara on the track Wachu Want.

Now we know why! She been making a celebrity baby!

How to Take Action With Global Citizen

Actions take a few different shapes and happen in different places.

1.) You can take action on the Global Citizen website and in our mobile app. These actions can be things like sending tweets, signing petitions, or sending an email to express your support for a particular issue, like more funding for girls education, or making sure more people have access to clean drinking water.

2.) Facebook Messenger: For the first time ever, Global Citizens can take action using a Facebook Messenger bot; these actions are similar to the ones on our site but are designed for phones with Facebook Messenger Lite.

3.) Days of Action: If you prefer to take action in person, we’ll have several Days of Action in Johannesburg in the run-up to the festival. You can join other Global Citizens in a community service project.

Getting Free Tickets

Global Citizen will hold four action journeys between now and the festival in December. In each action journey, there will be 8 to 10 actions you can choose between. Each action earns you a certain number of Festival points.

Once you have earned enough Festival points by taking action, you’ll be entered into the raffle to get your free pair (2) of tickets.

We’ll announce when the draws are happening, and let winners know if they’ve won the next day. We’ll be communicating the points you need to earn and the dates of the draws to everyone who signs up here .

If you didn’t win a ticket, you can still take more actions in the next action journey, which starts the next day, and then enter to win tickets again. More than 70,000 tickets will be given away for free in this method.

The Issues — What Are We Taking Action On?

Global Citizens in Africa and around the world are calling on world leaders to make commitments to empower people in extreme poverty. This includes:

  • Give every child access to a quality education;
  • Eradicate laws that hold girls and women back;
  • Make sure all people have access to enough nutritious food;
  • Ensure everyone has access to clean drinking water.
