Matshediso “Tshedi” Mholo consulting lawyers about former band member Bongani

Tshedi has penned a warning to former Malaika band member Bongani Nchang.

She took to her timeline on Friday saying she wanted her IP (intellectual property) removed from all the music and performances Bongani does in her absence.

“Remove my melodies and compositions. My IP out! And stop defrauding the Malaika legacy. Start your own with new #RealMalaika lady. Bazokhuluma shem, oksalayo you'll be left alone in the dock. Burying me alive, Nxa!”

Bonang Matheba makes TV comeback

A year after launching her B*Dazzled series on YouTube, media personality Bonang is to make her TV comeback with a show on SABC3 — and she's calling it B’dazzled by Bonang.

This six-part series, with 46-minute episodes, is a co-production between Bonang Matheba Entertainment, with Bonang as the executive producer, and executive producer David Phume of Cake Media. 

“After so many years in the industry, I’m excited to share a side of me not often seen — the business behind my various brands and how they are working to better society. B’dazzled by Bonang is an exhilarating combination of the daily trials and tribulations that come with running my businesses, with a dose of the dazzle and glamour my audiences have come to know and love,” Bonang said.

Da L.E.S hospitalised after suffering a stroke 

A source told TshisaLIVE Da L.E.S was moved to a public hospital.

“Half his face is affected. He can't talk, he's just lying there, it's bad. They were taking him out of a private hospital and to a public hospital. I've been there and there's nothing wrong with that hospital. The machines are working and the nurses are amazing. It's going to be a while before he recovers. I think it's like Lira's situation.”
