Samthing Soweto snubbed for song credit

This week Samthing Soweto shot up trends lists after he was not credited on the hit song Amalanga Awafani featuring Mas Musiq & Lawd Weezy and DJ Maphorisa on its release. 

Though he’s since been added to the credits, the saga has raised questions about the rights of musicians and how easily they are exploited. 

Longwe Twala's case postponed 

Longwe, the son of legendary musician and producer Sello “Chicco” Twala, who was arrested with his brother Sello for alleged theft, made his first court appearance on Monday in the Randburg magistrate's court. 

His matter has been postponed to September 12 for a bail application because of his previous conviction for shoplifting.

He is seeking legal aid and there will be further investigations to obtain a statement from the person who was allegedly in possession of the recovered stolen goods.

Ukhozi FM said to have switched off Siya Mhlongo's mic

Ukhozi FM is set to pull presenter Siya from the air.

He allegedly assaulted his boyfriend with a bottle at the weekend.

Sources said SABC management decided to temporarily remove Siya from the line-up pending investigations.
