Here's a glimpse at some of the stories:

Brian Monaisa confirms his break-up with Minnie Dlamini 

Brian addressed the rumours surrounding his break-up with media personality Minnie.

“It is not in my nature to entertain rumours. However, this specific rumour is malicious and has the potential to taint Ms Dlamini's reputation in circumstances where the rumours are devoid of truth,” he said on his timeline.

“Ms Dlamini and I had a beautiful relationship which came to an end purely for personal reasons which had nothing to do with infidelity by either party. While our romantic relationship has come to an end, there remains mutual respect between Ms Dlamini and I.”

Scotts Maphuma wants nothing to do with fame 

Amapiano star Scotts has been lambasted for retaliating when asked to take pictures with his fans — but he says he is not bothered. 

“I didn't want to be a celebrity. I didn't want to be famous. I'm not that sort of person. I love my space. I don't like pictures. Why do you want to take pictures?” he said during his interview on the L-tido podcast.

Moja Love in hot water again

Pressure is mounting on Moja Love to can its show Isencane Lengane.

A recent episode sparked outrage among viewers, with many raising concern about the starring couple's toxicity.

According to Moja Love, Isencane Lengane is designed to contribute to the discourse on GBV and societal ills, with the aim of raising awareness and promoting positive change.

Moja Love said it is committed to providing psychological support to affected members, including Thando, who was affected by the events depicted in the show, and would continue to offer support.

Gospel singer Rebecca Malope distances herself from pastor Bushiri

Rebecca has addressed rumours surrounding her alleged visit to fugitive pastor Shepherd Bushiri in Malawi.

Rebecca, who was booked to perform at Carnival City during the Easter weekend, has denied the claims, expressing frustration and hurt over the false accusations.

She said two years ago she performed at a concert in Malawi, which was booked by a promoter, not the church. Bushiri attended her concert and she acknowledged his presence on stage, thanking him for his support.
