Home Sports News Three more signings & Sundowns will be done- Mokwena Three more signings & Sundowns will be done- Mokwena
In an exclusive interview with SABC Sport, Mamelodi Sundowns co-head coach Rhulani Mokwena has explained the approach the club is taking in this season’s transfer window, indicating that they are only left with three more signings.
On the sidelines of Sundowns’ coaching clinic at their pre-season training base in Phokeng, Rustenburg, Mokwena said gone are the days where the Brazilians would go for wholesale buys on the transfer market.
So far, the Brazilians have confirmed the arrival of Bafana Bafana and SuperSport United midfielder Sipho Mbule and Ethiopian Abubaker Nasir. Nasir trained for the first time on Thursday with Sundowns since he received his work permit which now makes him eligible to be registered for the 2022/2023 season.
Mokwena says the clubs has gone as far as enlisting the services of an English tutor to make sure that the 21year-old settles at the DSTV Premiership undisputed kings.
READ: Downs to loan out Bafana youngster
Sundowns, who are currently sitting with a squad of 40 players, including some of the players returning from loaning deals only targeted specific positions on the market according to Mokoena.
“If you look at the last couple of transfer windows we don’t sign for the sake of signing. In previous windows we worked when we felt we needed to strengthen certain positions and we did that.
“If you look at the Brian Onyango acquisition where everybody said ‘ooh but why Brian?’, the Neo Maema signing and everybody was like ‘ooh but why Neo?”, but we knew what we needed it is the same now when we sign Surprise Ralani-we sign Surprise Ralani for a specific reason and everybody could see yah the age was as an issue but noone is talking anymore because the player has showed that the decision that we made to bring him here was the right decision.
“So there is a lot of work that goes into analyzing our team checking the data of our team understanding the strength and the weaknesses and even the profile of the team that we want to try to develop.
“And even now in this window we continue with that strategy we don’t get anymore Sundowns signing seven-eight-nine players anymore in the window. We try to look at specific positions where feel that we need to try to take the team in that direction” Rulani told SABC Sport.

A chilly winter afternoon is the perfect time to indulge in The Table Bay’s new luxurious four-course high tea.
High tea is served in hotel’s hub, The Lounge, with views of Table Mountain and the working V&A harbour. Gather friends or family members to cosy up next to the fireplace and tuck into the smorgasbord of delights created by Table Bay’s Executive Chef Wesli Jacobs and his team.
“The idea behind the menu was to give a modern twist on South African favourites – vetkoek paired with smoked salmon, a vegan item with our tofu California roll and a sweet/savoury element with the chicken and mayo crepe,” Jacobs says.
Desserts for the winter season
“The dessert dishes have been created especially for the winter season, where pastry chef Thabile Mlonyeni infused his menu with citrus-inspired orange meringue and lemon panna cotta. In addition, we have incorporated fan favourites such kiwi entremets and raspberry profiteroles and gateaux cakes that rotate weekly, anything from New York style cheesecake to a dark chocolate red velvet cake.”
The first course begins with a savoury spread including smoked salmon cream cheese on vetkoek, rare roast beef, tomato relish and caramelised onion on Nordic bread, a vegetable and tofu California roll, chicken mayonnaise crepe with wild garlic and a sundried tomato and pepperdew mousse tartlet.
“What would high tea be without scones, and we have two delicious options, from traditional buttermilk scones to a beetroot and feta scone with a difference,” Jacobs said.
Those with a sweet tooth will delight in the raspberry profiteroles, salted caramel and kiwi and chocolate entremets, lemon panna cotta and orange meringue as well as Mlonyeni’s gateaux cakes.
The final course is a cheese board with a local and international offering, accompanied by condiments. Guests have a choice of a range of loose-leaf teas and coffees to sip on during their tea.
The high tea is R395 per person, available Friday to Sunday, from 2pm to 3:30pm or 4pm to 5:30pm.

Lionsgate has unveiled plans for the yacht rock musical comedy Sailing, with Woody Harrelson in talks to star.
The jukebox musical comedy will follow the trials and tribulations of a group of 1970s musicians discovering the smooth sounds and lifestyle from yacht rock. The soft rock music genre dominated FM radio during that period.
Harrelson recently starred in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. His upcoming work includes The Man From Toronto, opposite Kevin Hart, and the HBO TV series The White House Plumbers. Chris D’Arienzo, creator of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages , sold the pitch for Sailing along with Jeremy Plager, who will develop and produce with MegaMix (Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer) and Harrelson.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Jeremy, Jonathan, Gillian, Chris, and Woody, and we’re confident that it will not only have a phenomenal soundtrack, but it will also put you in a summertime mood,” Lionsgate president of production Erin Westerman said of the nostalgic musical comedy.
Meredith Wieck and Jon Humphrey will oversee the project for Lionsgate. Bonnie Stylides negotiated the deals on behalf of the studio.
Harrelson is represented by Ziffren Brittenham. D’Arienzo is repped by Verve. And Plager is represented by attorney Greg Slewett at Johnson, Shapiro, Slewett & Kole LLP.

|The 16th South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs 2022)|
The 16th South African Film and Television Awards better known as SAFTAs is gearing up for its long-awaited awards ceremony set to take place on 2 and 3 September 2022 as a simulcast on Mzansi Magic and S3. Established to "honour, celebrate, promote and reward the creativity, quality and excellence of South African film and television talent and content" in 2005, the SAFTAs is the closest thing South Africa has to the Emmys and Academy Awards.
Netflix's Original I Am All Girls leads the film section of the awards with a grand total of 11 nominations across various categories such as Best Directing, Best Cinematography and Best Feature Film. Showmax leads the streaming service awards with 158 nominations of which Showmax Originals account for 52 SAFTA nominations including: The Wife, DAM, Tali’s Baby Diary, Glasshouse, Devilsdorp and Boxing Day.
Taking a closer look at the film section, it's interesting to note just how many local films have qualified for the 16th SAFTAs. While there weren't any films that stood head and shoulders above the rest, this only made it a more competitive year with a selection of very promising titles from a spectrum of genres.
Fried Barry, I Am All Girls and Glasshouse have each landed a Best Feature Film nomination. Ryan Kruger's < a href="https://www.splingmovies.com/2021/10/movie-review-fried-barry/">Fried Barry is a visceral beast of a sci-fi horror thriller starring Gary Green in a perfectly cast and iconic performance. High on impact and shock value, this psychedelic ride probably stunned local audiences who aren't used to grindhouse movies. While bizarre and extreme, its international calibre look and feel showcases Kruger's unbridled creativity and flair landing nominations for Direction and Best Supporting Actor for a short-lived yet utterly convincing performance from Sean Cameron Michael.
Donovan Marsh's serial killer horror thriller, I Am All Girls brandishes its important and timely message around child trafficking with a tenacious cast with many acting nominations. A slick, moody and visually-enticing thriller it's quite surprising how many nominations I Am All Girls has landed based on the film's overall effect. While it looks good, a thin script, genre tropes and a growing distance from the characters ultimately undermines any connection to the co-lead project and subverts suspense.
Kelsey Egan's Glasshouse is the best pick of the Best Feature Film nominees. Having garnered many nominations for Make Up, Costume Design and Cinematography, its been adequately acknowledged for its styling and visual finesse. Compared with On Golden Pond and The Beguiled, what hasn't been fully appreciated by the SAFTAs nomination panel is the depth of creativity and self-assuredness of writing and direction in unearthing this gem. Performing well in just about every department on a modest budget, Glasshouse's fairy tale feel, chamber drama suspense and subliminal messaging has been misunderstood and underappreciated.
What's also quite concerning is that Barakat was South Africa's official Oscar selection for Best International Feature yet didn't manage to earn a Best Feature Film nomination at the SAFTAs. Having happened to several films in previous years, one has to imagine there's some strange policy at play whereby official selections aren't elligible to compete locally. Luckily the spirited and charming comedy drama scored a Best Actress nomination for Vinette Ebrahim, Best Supporting Actress for Quanita Adams, Best Music/Score for Kyle Sheperd and Best Achievement for Direction for Amy Jephta.
Other local films that have basically been snubbed include the authentic seaside crime drama, Sons of the Sea, as well as the much-anticipated sequel to Material... New Material. Filmed on the False Bay coastline and wilderness, Sons of the Sea's slow-boiling morality crime drama and earnest performances only managed to garner a nomination in the Best Actor category for Marlon Swarts. Having won a Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor Golden Horn for Material, it's curious to note that neither Riaad Moosa nor Vincent Ebrahim managed to warrant a follow-up nomination for the sequel with its sole nomination coming in for Megan Gill in the Editing category - packing enough story threads for a series into the space of 90 minutes.
Angeliena, Mr Johnson and Freedom picked up a handful of nominations, most notably in the acting categories for Tshmano Sebe's delightful turn, Ferry Jele's noteworthy performance and Paul Slabolepszy's spirited leading role. Then, there were a number of lesser known films picking at the seams with Love, Lies & Hybrids, Atlantis and Happiness Ever After coming in hot.
This year's film nominations were characterised by more adventurous genre play, moving away from straight up drama. A good deal of comedy-centric films made the cut but it was most surprising to see the likes of two sci-fi horror thrillers in Fried Barry and Glasshouse. While somewhat divisive in terms of subject matter, it's also interesting to note that none of the main contenders for Best Feature Film managed to score higher than a 5.9/10 average rating on IMDb. Here are the SAFTA nominations by category:

The 16th South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs 2022)

On their eighth album, Senses Fail are proving that you can pay homage to the past while still moving forward. Part concept record, part self-examination, vocalist Buddy Nielsen is picking up where the band’s beloved 2006 hit record Still Searching left off by creating a spiritual sequel for the modern age.

RETURN TO FORM
Senses Fail vocalist and primary songwriter Buddy Nielsen is very aware of the things that make people resonate with his band’s music. With their 2006 record, Still Searching, the group hit their biggest commercial peak, thanks to themes of depression, trauma and the idea of mortality, which made the release universally relatable. “I felt like there was unfinished business [with Still Searching], and though we made a lot of records since then, it felt like the right balance between the heavier aspect of the band in a way that everybody liked,” Nielsen explains. “Now that I’m the main songwriter for the band, it felt like we should pick up where we left off.”
ENTER THE WASTELAND
In writing the lyrics for Hell Is In Your Head , Nielsen knew that they needed to fit within the story arc of Still Searching while still mining his present life. “I created a template [where] I could give each song a backdrop and tie things together. First, I went to this place called The Wasteland and made amends with my grief, but it wasn’t time for me to be there, so I came back to my life and what I’m dealing with currently. Conceptually, The Wasteland and the music is much more ethereal and experimental that is specifically supposed to be less naturalistic,” Nielsen says of the balance between both sides of the record. The result is a collection of songs that reopen old wounds but also offer insight into the growth and peace that Nielsen has experienced by becoming a parent and husband.
CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP
“Over the course of the last seven years, I became a much better guitar player, so my ability to be creative and find my style really came into its own with this record,” Nielsen says when speaking on his new role as the primary creative force behind the band. For the last 20 years, Senses Fail have had a revolving door of exceptional musicians, and it’s no small feat that Nielsen has been able to take over all principal songwriting. “I pretty much had to have a professional studio and understand how to record,” he explains. “The pandemic allowed me the time to get there. It’s a different world now — you have to be the creative driving force and engineer.”
OLD FRIENDS
When it came time to start principal tracking for Hell Is In Your Head, Senses Fail returned to frequent collaborator and producer Beau Burchell , member of the equally influential post-hardcore group Saosin . “We work really well together, and he understands what Senses Fail is, what fans like about it and what it should be. It’s just easy,” Nielsen says. However, the reconvening of old friends didn’t end there as Nielsen also enlisted original drummer Dan Trapp, who departed the group in 2013. Trapp returned to the kit to lay down his signature parts across all 11 tracks. His return couldn’t be more special as his drum style is so distinct to the band’s sound and adds a powerful new dimension.
FOLLOW YOUR BLISS
While Hell Is In Your Head certainly pays homage to the band’s classic sound, there’s also a great deal of progression within the sonic elements of the record. That’s immediately apparent on “ What The Thunder Said ,” a post-punk-inspired composition riddled with blast beats that show the band leaning into unexplored influences. This was intentional as Nielsen explains, “If I could, I would pretty much be in a Deafheaven , shoegaze and noise-sounding band. That’s what I’m interested in sonically and what I’m listening to. I feel like I was pulling the band towards my modern interpretation of what post-hardcore is. If Still Searching was our modern interpretation of what post-hardcore was, then I wanted this record to be an updated version of that now, which is obviously different. I wanted to embrace the gothiness in a nostalgic way but make it cool and not campy.”
JOINING FORCES
Another compelling element of Hell Is In Your Head is the strong vocal features from Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas and SeeYouSpaceCowboy frontwoman Connie Sgarbossa , who add fresh new energy to the tracks “ Death By Water ” and “ End Of The World/A Game Of Chess ,” respectively. “I think collaborations are super cool, and I’m excited that it’s becoming more of a thing in the rock world because in every other genre, it’s the standard. People need to be less precious with their music and more collaborative,” Nielsen explains. With Hell Is In Your Head, Senses Fail have certainly cracked the code in being a classic band that aren’t afraid to adapt to the future.

GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - On behalf of all of us at the Garden Route Food Pantry, but even more importantly, those who will benefit from the amazing soup we will be receiving for distribution, a very big THANK YOU!
As you are already aware, we are partnering with a Gauteng based NGO called Chefs with Compassion, who instigated this project and are pushing to make 67 000 litres of soup nationwide.
We are proud to be part of this campaign which will benefit our own people and we look forward to building onto this project even more in the years to come.
Just a couple of things for the soup cooking this year:
- Please do ensure best health practices when cooking, many of the children receiving the food have weakened bodies and can be very sensitive to possible food poisoning.
- If the soup is being brought to us on the same day it is being made, it can be brought while still warm. Otherwise please do bring it cold, or even frozen, so as to make sure no bacteria growth.
- If possible, please put into plastic containers that you wont necessarily need back – as the soup will be going from us to the soup kitchens, it may be difficult to get back.
- The beneficiaries will be collecting on Monday 18 July, from around midday, so it would be great if all soup can be delivered to us by then at the latest – we will be open from 7pm already. 1 Glaze street (next door to Takealot – same road as BMW)
- Very Important: While making your soup, please take some great photos! We will be sending them to Chef’s with Compassion as well, so some fun pics will be very welcome! They can either be emailed to us, or even via Whatsapp to 082 826 0731
People need food every day of the year
A final note – although we are truly excited about this project and your support, please keep in mind that we do this every day of the year – ie. Sourcing food for the most vulnerable. If you are ever in a situation where you’re able to help out again, please do make contact with me.
We not only do we do food rescue to try and prevent the wastage of food, but we also bake our own highly fortified biscuits for malnourished children. Soon we will be launching our own pasta range as well, also fortified with micro-nutrients.
All of this takes funding, which is hard to get in our region – so please keep us in mind for your next CSI where we can also provide a Section 18A certificate.

PlayStation has just announced a new loyalty program – PlayStation Stars. “Join for free, complete campaigns, and earn rewards.”
On 14 July 2022, PlayStation announced that it would be releasing an all-new loyalty program later in the year. They were inspired to create a new way for gamers within their community to interact with one another and earn rewards because of the pride that they take in creating meaningful gaming experiences and how they can create fond, lifelong memories for their community.
PlayStation has proven time and time again that they love nothing more than to bring their community unique experiences and products through the creation of their various iterations of the PlayStation console, through their critically acclaimed games, their community challenges and incentives (such as Seize the Throne) and both digital and live events (such as State of Play).
PlayStation Stars Announcement
On blog.playstation.com it was revealed that the new program, PlayStation Stars would be a free-to-join loyalty program that celebrates players and their achievements and commitment to the company. Once a player has become a member of the program, players will be able to earn rewards by completing a variety of tasks and activities that PlayStation is calling ‘campaigns’.
Examples of their campaigns include “Monthly Check-in” where a player is required to play any game to receive a reward, while others may require a player to win tournaments, earn specific trophies, or something as prestigious as being the first player to ‘platinum a blockbuster title’ in their local time zone.
In addition to earning points by taking part in PlayStation Stars campaigns, players will have the opportunity to earn loyalty points which will be redeemable in a catalogue that will include PSN wallet funds as well as select PlayStation Store products.
There will be additional benefits for PlayStation Star members who are also members of PlayStation Plus , Sony’s subscription service. https://www.fortressofsolitude.co.za/playstation-plus-collection-xbox-game-pass/ members enrolled in the loyalty program will automatically earn points toward the program for any purchases that are made on the PlayStation Store.
Along with the PlayStation Stars program itself, PlayStation also unveiled a new type of reward that they are calling ‘digital collectables’. The collectables are promised to be as diverse as their portfolio of products and franchises, hinting that players should be able to earn collectables from all of their favourite PlayStation games.
“They are digital representations of things that PlayStation fans enjoy including figures of beloved and iconic characters from games and other forms of entertainment, as well as cherished devices that tap into Sony’s history of innovation,” the announcement declared. It looks like there will always be a collectable available for earning through the program, whether it be an ultra-rare collectable, or one simply for fun, it will be worth striving for.
PlayStation closed its announcement with the following message to players:
“We hope this new program brings to mind past gaming memories while making you excited for the future with PlayStation: commemorating the gaming eras we created together, charting new paths to explore, and bringing players together for global celebrations. This is just the beginning for PlayStation Stars, and the program will continue to evolve over time.”
PlayStation Plus has been a great way for players to enjoy communal events and fun with fellow players while also exploring PlayStation games available with the subscription service, but unfortunately, it is a paid-for service. The PlayStation Stars program will be a free option for players to be involved with the community and will be even more beneficial to those with PlayStation Plus as well.

PlayStation Stars: Sony Is Introducing A Loyalty Program

Former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain Thulani Hlatshwayo has opened up on his rollercoaster spell at the Soweto giants.
Freedom! That was the first thing that came to the mind of “Tyson” when he received his clearance from the Buccaneers recently.
Hlatshwayo, who was unveiled at SuperSport United to reunite with his former coach at Bidvest Wits, Gavin Hunt this week, has painted a grim picture of his time at Pirates.
In a sit-down interview with SABC Sport, Hlatshwayo, who played in only 13 matches in all competitions last season, says the situation at Pirates was also affecting him at home.
“Everyone will agree with me, it’s not like I may be wrong, but I think it was the Soweto Derby [on 6 November, when Kaizer Chief won 2-1],” Hlatshwayo told SABC Sport.
“That’s where things suddenly changed for me. Suddenly everything just went sour, and from there for six months Tyson hasn’t played football or hasn’t started a game.
“You can see in some of the games… I’d be on the bench and, as an experienced player, you can see ok, these last 20-25 minutes, what kind of person the game needs [because] we’re trying to get a result or chase a game.
“But I’d be ignored, they would play other personnel and, you know me being a team player, I’d just hold it inside myself and not show anything but support the guys, whoever is playing. When I get home, that’s where I would get my comfort.”
READ: Pirates defender set for Chippa switch
The 32-year-old further adds that it was agonising having to put up a facade at home, in front of his family, as he dealt with the heartache of being a castaway at his workplace.
“It’s been difficult, even to communicate at home and, playing with your kids, they don’t know anything about what’s happening. But you have to give them that 5-10 minutes, which is not what you’re used to giving them, and just give them that fake smile just to protect them – for them to see [that] Daddy’s ok, Daddy’s happy,” he added.
“But after that, it just goes away and you can’t control it, you don’t know what takes it away. Now, even my wife says I’m glowing now, and it makes me feel good for someone who’s very close to my heart and is able to notice that.”

On the 14th of July 2022, Amazon Studios released a teaser trailer that aims to bring fans back to Middle-earth this September with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a massive prequel series. “There was a time when the world was so young, there had not yet been a sunrise.”
Fresh on the heels of the new The Lord of the Rings: Gollum trailer which features a new stealth adventure game from Daedalic that is said to be released on 24 August 2022, Amazon Studios released a brand new, short, and exciting trailer for their latest series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will call back some fan-favourite characters that fans are sure to recognise instantly, even though none of the original cast members are reprising their roles in the series. This series will be a whole new story for fans to relish. While the characters may not be played by the same actors, the series will be shot in New Zealand, just like the original series was. Now is the time for the Middle-earth lore and characters that have lived for centuries to take centre stage.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailer highlights the second age of Middle-earth history, one that has been hinted at in both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies but happens thousands of years before the events we know.
It opens with a panning shot of beautiful vistas with statues carved into the face of cliffs over water before transitioning to a beautiful view of a kingdom overlooking a magnificently large tree. A voice speaks of a time before Middle-earth had even seen its first sunrise. We get to see the various kingdoms of man, the forests of the elves, and the mines of the dwarves. Lady Galadriel speaks of an unseen force, which Elrond confirms is a darkness that will march over the earth.
Unfortunately, Amazon Studios does not have access to the rights for Tolkien’s other more world-building works like The Silmarillion or The History of Middle-earth, however, they do retain the rights to both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies.
Some of the returning characters in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power include the well-known and beloved Elves, Galadriel, Elrond, and High King Gil-galad. The elves will be portrayed by Morfydd Clark, Robert Aramayo, and Benjamin Walker respectively.
Some new characters will be joining the roster such as the Harfoots that are mentioned in the trailer, and the hobbits that viewers will be following along with. The Harfoots include Marigold Brandyfoot portrayed by Sara Zwangobani, Elanor ‘Nori’ Brandyfoot portrayed by Markella Kavanagh, Poppy Proudfellow portrayed by Megan Richards, and Sadoc Burrows portrayed by Sir Lenny Henry.
The party of new adventurers also includes The Stranger portrayed by Daniel Weyman, and the company of dwarves: King Durin III portrayed by Peter Mullan, Prince Durin IV portrayed by Owain Arthur, Halbrand portrayed by Charlie Vickers, and Arondir portrayed by Ismael Cruz Córdova.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power looks to be an epic series that answers many questions that fans have had about the origins of both lore and characters of Middle-earth, and much more. The series will be launching on September 2nd, 2022, on Prime Video.

Amazon’s £1bn Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power Gets New Teaser

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard has already released two albums in 2022 and has three more on the way before the end of the year, but the ever-prolific Australian group has gifted fans with two additional surprise treats today (July 15).
The third and fourth volumes of Gizzard’s Bandcamp-only Demos series round up 26 previously unreleased cuts spanning 2011-2021, and the band is once again inviting fans to bootleg them in any way they choose.
“A refresher to anyone who’s forgotten or is new here: ‘bootleg’ in Gizzard-speak means anyone is allowed to make copies of this album,” frontman Stu Mackenzie wrote on Instagram . “If you’re a label you can release it like any other release. If you’re not a label you can go create a label right now and sell this album to whoever you want. Or if you just wanna make some tapes, CDs, 7″s or whatevs for fun, YOU CAN. You don’t need our permission or anything — just go to the bootleg section on our Web site to find everything you need.”
Gizzard’s only rule is that fans send their homemade bootlegs to the band to make available in their Gizzverse online emporium . “Thanks to everyone for getting involved in this bizarre and dope experiment,” Mackenzie says, adding that “a bunch more bootlegs [are] dropping” on Gizzverse in the days to come.
The new editions of Demos offer fascinating work-in-progress versions of songs that later appeared on proper Gizzard albums such as Murder of the Universe, Infest the Rat’s Nest and the recent Omnium Gatherum, instrumentals and other fragments and ephemera. The two distinct demos for the 18-minute Omnium opener “The Dripping Tap”point toward the sound and approach for two of the next three Gizzard albums, which Mackenzie recently told SPIN were built from hours-long jams and then pieced together after the fact.
Gizzard returns to the road July 29 in Portlaw, Ireland and will play some of its biggest U.S. shows to date this fall, including three nights at Red Rocks outside Denver and an Oct. 21 concert at New York’s 13,000-capacity Forest Hills Tennis Stadium. Band members Ambrose Kenny-Smith and Cook Craig will also tour North America this fall with their side project The Murlocs, whose new album, Rapscallion, arrives Sept. 16 from ATO Records.

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard Invites Fans to Bootleg New Demos

Skate 4 officially has a name: skate. And it will be free-to-play and have both cross-play and cross-progression.
Full Circle under EA Games has just revealed that Skate 4, their title that was first announced back in 2020, officially has a name: skate. The studio confirmed this alongside news that the game will be free-to-play on PlayStation, Xbox and PC and that it will have both cross-play and cross-progression support, meaning that you can play on all three and keep your saved games the same over all three.
This and all new information regarding skate. Was shared during Full Circle’s The Board Room update, including news that it will take place in San Vansterdam, something of a sister city to San Vanelona from Skate and Skate 2. San Vanelona treated skateboarding as a crime, whereas Skate 3’s Port Carverton embraced it. San Vansterdam is set to be an open-world skating experience, but we have yet to see what approach the city will take regarding the legality of the sport.
Updates On the Game
skate. was first announced by Cuz Perry and Deran Chung at EA Play in 2020 with an announcement teaser that had players delighted. Fans had been waiting for a sequel or even a prequel since Skate 3 came out in 2010.
Full Circle chose to go with the name skate. and not Skate 4 because it seems that the latest title will not be a sequel, reboot, or remake, but rather a completely new platform that will be built upon for many years to come.
Full Circle also chose to discuss the free-to-play model that skate. will be implementing a little further, sharing that the team had laid down strict ground rules when they were designing exactly how the game would work when it comes to microtransactions. The team has four rules and they are:
“No pay to win,” “No map areas locked behind a paywall,” “No paid loot boxes ,” and “No paid gameplay advantages.”
Pre-alpha Playtesting
Fans of the franchise around the world can sign up now to test an early version of skate. that is in pre-alpha.
EA began recruiting playtesters for skate. back in June, even though the game is nowhere near developed enough to be viewed by public eyes. The development team had to make a tough decision about whether to allow players to see the game in its “pre-pre-pre-alpha” state or not but decided that they wanted feedback from players as early and as often as possible, stating that they aimed to build the game with the fans. Playtests for the current version of the game are closed, however, there are plans to let a lot more players in for the skate. playtest in the ‘coming months’ for further testing in both alpha and beta stages.
As it is still in its very early stages, the game does not have a release date as of yet, however, Full Circle has assured fans that as soon as it is further developed, they will be informed as to when they can expect the game to be released.
Many games push their sequels too far, so it’s excellent that Full Circle is bringing out their new game under a different umbrella, introducing a new platform for their franchise to develop.

EA’s Skate 4 Has An Official Title & Will Be Free-To-Play

After a dramatic week for ASA with a group of athletes stranded in Italy without visas to fly to Oregon in the USA for the World Athletics Championships, James Moloi confirmed that all the 40 athletes are in the states.
However, he is furious with the athletes and their agents, and accused them of dragging ASA’s name through the mud.
Moloi set the record straight and refused to take the blame for the visa hiccups.
Carina Horn and Gift Leotlela, to mention a few, got stranded in Italy and traveled to the USA at the eleventh hour, with the World Championships starting in Oregon today.
Moloi told the SABC Sport that he had a series of meetings with World Athletics boss Sir Sebastian Coe and the SA government to intervene.
“It’s 1am in America, and I cannot sleep. I want to set the record straight because what is happening is not right. ASA did not send the athletes to Italy,” lamented Moloi.
“Their trip or training camps were arranged by their agents. We told them and the athletes they should return home and fly out to the USA on Monday night, but they stayed in Italy. “And when they could not get their visas on time, they blamed ASA. This is not right. When we do well, people do not talk, but when others mess up, the blame goes to ASA.”
Moloi said he and his team worked around the clock to try and get the stranded athletes to the USA in a timely manner.
“We phoned the sports minister Nathi Mthethwa, and the World Athletics president was always in contact with me. Yesterday, he asked if all the athletes are all here,” he added.
“The mix-up paints my presidency in a bad light and makes it look like the ASA board does not know what it is doing.”
Moloi further noted that he saw the athletes, including Leotlela, who arrived on the day of his 100m heats, and singled out rising 800m star Prudence Sekgodiso as one of the athletes who returned to SA to depart with the other local athletes at home.
“All their visas were here at home, but it became a problem when everyone wanted to fly out to the USA wherever they were. The athletes are here now,” he confirmed.
“ASA puts the interest of the athletes first, but what happened leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Let’s focus on the championships and support the athletes and put this frustrating chapter behind us.”

'We bring you the latest Garden Route, Hessequa, Karoo news'

UPDATE: Load shedding schedule 16 - 19 July

GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - South Africans can expect some relief at the pumps in August based on current unaudited mid-month data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF), according to the Automobile Association (AA).
The current numbers are showing 95ULP petrol down by around 90c/l, 93ULP down by around R1.07/l and the wholesale price of diesel decreasing by around 91c/l. Illuminating paraffin is also set for a decrease of about 94c/l.
“All of this is naturally good news for consumers and motorists and will ease some pressure on embattled budgets. We must, however, be cognisant of the fact that this is mid-month data, and that price outlook may change over the next two weeks before the August adjustment is made,” says the Association.
According to the data, the drop in international petroleum prices is driving the decreases but they are being offset by a weaker Rand/US dollar exchange rate, which is eroding otherwise sharply declining fuel prices.
These decreases will be further limited due to the return of 75c/l to the General Fuel Levy (GFL). The government has indicated that it will not alter its position that the initial R1.50 it cut from the GFL in April and May, and which was halved to 75c/s for June and July, will end in August. This means the GFL returns to its normal rate of R3.93/l in August.
“Given this, and based on the current data, the decreases to the prices for petrol and diesel are expected to be around 15c/l and 32c/l. Although these would be more significant if the GFL relief was still in play, a reduction is nonetheless welcome and will ease some pressure on consumers,” the AA notes.
The Association further notes that despite the forecast decreases, fuel prices in South Africa remain high and that the previous sizable increases will still impact the economy in the coming months.
“Decreases offer immediate relief but increases filter into the economy over time, especially as those sectors affected by them don’t immediately adjust their prices downward but instead wait for more consistent fuel cuts that lower their input costs. We stand by our call that a review of the fuel price structure, and an audit of the components that comprise the fuel price, is essential and long overdue to offer sustainable solutions that mitigate against rising fuel costs in the country,” concludes the AA.

Some relief expected at the pumps in August – AA

You can now experience the Pokémon Fossil Museum without needing to go to Japan.
The Pokémon Company and Toyohashi Museum of Natural History have collaborated and made it possible to see the Pokémon Fossil Museum virtually. Fans can take a virtual tour around the exhibit which is available until November.
In the virtual tour, fans can see the collection of both real fossils alongside Pokémon fossils, everything from a tyrannosaurus to a Tyrantrum. The exhibit was designed to teach children about fossils and dinosaurs by drawing them in with the fossils of Pokémon. The exhibit includes models of Pokémon side-by-side with fossilized versions of the animals that might have inspired their creation, with information panes to educate exhibit goers amid the fun.
The exhibit first started in 2021 in the city of Hokkaido before it spread through Japan, moving to Shimane, then Tokyo, before arriving at its current location at Toyohashi this week. While it has not yet been confirmed, the official website states that further venues may be announced at a later stage, hopefully suggesting that the Pokémon Fossil Museum may find a more permanent home once the exhibit closes in November.
Images of the exhibit are available online and the virtual exhibit can be enjoyed here: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=P9WCbyCBGBM
Pokémon Games
It’s a genius plan to incorporate Pokémon into fossil exhibits as some ancient Pokémon can only be obtained through fossils in both the games and the anime. Down to its essence, all Pokémon have their inspiration from the real world and are based on creatures from the real world.
For example, the Omanyte is based on a prehistoric creature called an ammonite, the Aerodactyl is based on pterosaurs, and the Bastiodon is based on ceratopsian dinosaurs such as the triceratops.
As the exhibit ends in November, Pokémon’s latest addition to the franchise will be released for fans who want to pick up the next Pokémon adventure: Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet .
The New Games
Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will be the franchise’s first-ever open-world instalment to the franchise. Designed in the same cute style as the games that preceded it, players can design their adorable trainer personas and go into the open-world adventure to find even cuter Pokémon to catch and complete their collections.
The games have new starter Pokémon that are offered in the usual fashion of being earth, water, and fire based, sticking with the decades-long tradition. It wouldn’t be a Pokémon game if there weren’t Pokémon battles and this tame is no different, allowing for battles with other trainers as well as battles with Pokémon out in the wild with the option to catch Pokémon to add to the Pokédex.
It appears that the game will be multiplayer, allowing trainers to battle their friends as well as play together in the open world. Players will also be able to follow quests throughout the game, bringing them to biomes and environments to catch new and exciting Pokémon. With the beautiful biomes, it looks like the game might feature seasons as well. At the end of the trailer, we are shown the beautiful new legendaries that are a part of the game available for either Scarlet or Violet.
Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will be released worldwide on 18 November 2022 on Nintendo Switch .

Pokémon Fossil Museum: Take A Virtual Tour Online

President Cyril Ramaphosa says he won’t be discouraged from proceeding with his work as head of the state following alarming allegations of theft and corruption against him.
His comments follow growing calls for him to step down, pending an investigation into his Phala Phala Game Farm in Limpopo, where 60 million rands which were allegedly stashed in furniture were stolen.
On Thursday, (EFF) leader Julius Malema told a media briefing that his party is in consultation with various stakeholders on a national shutdown calling for Ramaphosa to resign.
African National Congress (ANC) members and supporters were protesting outside Luthuli House in Johannesburg, calling for the president to step down.
Meanwhile, speaking at the South African Communist Party (SACP) conference on Friday, Ramaphosa said he will not be intimidated by anyone.

Dis seker maar net fair om die SAFTA nominations ook ‘n mention te gee nadat ons vandag vroeër die Emmy Award Nominees se beuels geblaas het. Die SATFA’s (South African Film and Television Awards) is nog in sy babaskoene en is vir die eerste keer toegeken, 15 jaar gelede op die 28ste Oktober, 2006. Die wenners kry elk ‘n sertifikaat en ‘n goue horing – no jokes. Die beeldjie is eintlik nogal lelik en lyk soos ‘n draak se piel, as mens nou ‘n draak se piel kon imagine. Die drie gesigte (?) op die beeldjie is glo gebasseer op artefakte van regoor Afrika uit die jaar 800 wat die Lydenburg-koppe reference. Laasgenoemde is terracotta-koppe wat saam met ander pottery-goete in Lydenburg ontdek is, iewers in die 1960s. Jirre, Suid-Afrika moet mos altyd super pretentious wees as dit by die kunste kom. Sommige serpdraende dikraambriltannies kan mos vir jou betekenis uit ‘n koekie seep tap…
Daar is kakbaie nominees, en as jy ‘n hond of ‘n vriend in die geveg het, kan jy die hele ellelange lys hier gaan bestudeer en vir hulle cheer. Vir vandag se doeleindes gaan ons net na so paar titles kyk wat ek skiem die moeite werd is om te stream.
DAM
Kortliks vertel DAM die storie van Yola wat vanaf Chile na Suid-Afrika terugkeer om haar vervreemde pa te begrawe. Tot haar verbasing en haar suster se ontsteltenis het pappa vir Yola die plaas in sy boedel gelos. Dit blyk meer van ‘n curse as ‘n blessing te wees want dit wil voorkom asof die huis vir haar iets probeer vertel. Met haar ma wat in ‘n gestig opgeneem is en haar eie meds wat laag in stock is, wonder Yola of al hierdie spirits for real is en of al hierdie kak net in haar kop is. Met 11 nominasies, kraai hierdie reeks koning op die lys. Hulle gaan vir best actress (Lea Vivier), best supporting actress, (Natasha Loring), best actor (Pallance Dlada) en Neil Sandilands, meneer SA Hollywood homself, is vir die eerste keer in sy lewe genomineer vir ‘n SAFTA-toekenning. Verder is die reeks in die runnning vir best direction, art direction, musiek, klank, en make-up en hairstyling. DAM is nogal angswekkend met ‘n fantastiese rolverdeling. Dis die beste Suid-Afrikaanse reeks wat ek tot dusver gekyk het.
Tali’s Baby Diary
Hierdie reeks is natuurlik die opvolg van Tali’s Wedding Diary (wat in 2019 met 5 SAFTA’s weggestap het) met Talie Babes wat (soos die titel voorstel) ‘n mens in die pens het. Sy werk nou aan haar nuwe look as ‘n momfluencer (kots) terwyl Darren en Rael die onstuimige waters wat die Kaapse eiendomsmark voor sorg, moet trotseer. Hierdie lawwe comedy sit saam met DAM op 11 nominations en sluit in Julia Anastasopoulos vir beste akrise in die rol van Tali, beste director vir Arie Kruger en Daniel Zimbler, cinematography, en editing. Dan is daar ook Anton Taylor as Tali se man, Darren, vir beste akteur, Kate Pinchuck (Taryn) vir best supporting actress en sy kompeteer teen kollega, Kate Normingtin (Tali se ma) vir dieselfde prys. Daar is verder ook nominasies vir script writing, art direction en sound. Ek het totally van hierdie reeks vergeet, so ek het nou iets lekker local en simpel om die naweek te kyk. Daar is mos nie rugby die naweek nie. Wel, nie regte rugby nie…
Glasshouse
‘n Movie waarvan ek heeltemal onbewus was en wat befok lyk, is die local sci-fi fantasy-drama, Glasshouse:
“Glasshouse is set after an airborne dementia known as The Shred has left humanity roaming like lost and dangerous animals, unable to remember who they are. Confined to their airtight glasshouse, a family does what they must to survive – until the sisters are seduced by a stranger who upsets the family’s rituals, unearthing a past they have tried to bury.”
Dit klink mos nou na ‘n piele storielyn? Die fliek is genomineer vir production design, cinematography en makeup & hairstyling. Siende dat daar die naweek fokol F1 is nie, sal ek dit dalk ‘n shot gee. Die trailer intrigue my nogal genoeg:
Devilsdorp
Ek wil myself bekak wanneer ek iemand ontmoet wat nog nie hierdie doccie gekyk het nie. In case jy nie weet nie (ek hoop nie jy is een van hulle nie), was daar ‘n hele reeks afspraakmoorde in 2016 in Krugersdorp en omgewing gewees. Afsprake in die sin van verkoopsmense en konsultante wat uitgaan om voornemende kliënte te ontmoet en dan nooit weer terug te kom nie. Die ondersoeke het speurders op ‘n hele klompie cold cases se spore gesit, vernaamlik die Sataniese moorde en die skakels tussen 11 moorde in Krugerdorp, ofte wel, Devilsdorp, wat op die ou einde na ‘n weird cult genaamd Electus per Deus (gekies deur God) gelei het. Die reeks het die lig gesien na ‘n navorsingsprojek van oor die 18-maande en uiteindelik het Suid-Afrika (actually die hele fokken wêreld) een van die vreemdste dokkiereekse op aarde te siene gekry. Dis ‘n weird en warm gemors van exorcisms, kerkbyeenkomste en trial testimonies in die hod wat die hare op die agterkant van jou piel sal laat regop staan, never mind jou nek! Devilsdorp is genomineer vir cinematography, editing en klank. Fok, ek kyk dit sommer weer. Unbelievable!
Daar is ongelukkig nie genoeg tyd oor om alles te cover nie, want dis nou naweek, en ons moet fokken duik, maar kam ook gerus deur hierdie lysie van oor die 20 SAFTA nominees om een of ander tyd te stream. Ek het ten minste 7 reekse en movies gepin-point wat ek wil nodge:
- G.I.L
- Fried Barry
- Rachel’s Angels: Inspirasie Stories
- Troukoors
- Jan
- Elders: Namibië
- Die Broer Toer
- Die Boekklub
- Nêrens, Noord-Kaap
- New Material
- Strangers You Know
- Zero to Zero
- Abandoned
- Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island
- Boxing Day
- Getroud Met Rugby
- Legacy
- Binnelanders
- Skemerdans
- Suidooster
- Arendsvlei
- Unefa
Die plan is om julle elke week sommer so kortliks te tune wat ek besig is om te kyk, want maybe wil jy dit ook kyk.
Terselfde tyd drop ons ook terloops ‘n kort lysie met voorstelle van wat om waar te stream hieronder.
Wat kyk jy?

Die Italiaanse HBO-dramareeks, My Brilliant Friend, keer vir ’n derde seisoen van dramatiese, meesleurende lief en leed terug. Die reeks, wat pragtig verfilm is, is gegrond op Elena Ferrante se topverkoper-boeke (die Neopolitan Novels-reeks). Die reeks volg twee vriendinne se coming-of-age-verhale in die tweede helfte van die 20ste eeu. Dit speel aan die buitewyke van Napels, Italië, af.
Lees verder
Desert Rose is ’n senutergende dramareeks wat om die Greyling-familie draai. Die Greyling broers en susters sukkel om klaar te kom in ’n stowwerige Noord-Kaap nadat hul pa, Freddie (Neil Sandilands), diep in die skuld by die genadelose Eugene van As (Ben Voss) beland en besluit om spore te maak. As Van As dan wraak sweer, begin die Greylings se stryd om oorlewing in erns.
Lees verder
The Umbrella Academy is ’n eksentrieke reeks met ’n wrang humorsin. Hopelik bou die derde seisoen voort op die fyn balans tussen aksie en die karakters se emosionele ontwikkeling in die vertelling.The Umbrella Academy is gegrond op die gelyknamige comics deur Gerard Way en geïllustreer deur Gabriel Bá. Die storie speel af in ’n alternatiewe realiteit waarin 43 vroue van reg oor die wêreld op 1 Oktober 1989 geboorte skenk. Die kinkel? Nie een van dié vroue het enige tekens van swangerskap getoon tot die oomblik wat hulle – nogal gelyktydig ook nog – begin kraam het nie.

Dis twee jaar sedert die afloop van die derde seisoen van Westworld, ’n bekroonde distopiese reeks wat sedert sy 2016-debuut ’n TV-fenomeen geword het. Westworld is deur Jonathan Nolan en Lisa Joy geskep. Vir die vierde seisoen keer onder andere Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton en Ed Harris terug om die gevolge van hebsug en magsbeheptheid in ’n wêreld wat besig is om sy laaste gryntjie menslikheid te verloor, in storietaal oor te dra.
Lees verder
Net soos in die eerste seisoen van Op my eish!, kan kykers na heelwat drama en intrige deur die loop van die reeks uitsien. Van gebroke harte en beserings tot onverwagse bekendstellings en skokonthullings – die wenresep vir suksesvolle realiteitstelevisie. Terwyl die akteur Neels van Jaarsveld laas liefde gesoek het, is Francois Jacobs die, uhm, hubare (?) hartebreker wat sy perfekte pasmaat in die tweede seisoen Op my eish! soek. Francois is ’n sanger en akteur bekend vir sy rol as Sampie de Klerk in die fliek Die Voëls.
Lees verder
Clark vertel die ongelooflike verhaal van Clark Olofsson, die omstrede misdadiger wat die term “Stockholm-sindroom” geïnspireer het. Bill Skarsgård – broer van True Blood se Alexander Skarsgård – vertolk die titelrol. Clark is gegrond op die waarhede én leuens, soos uiteengesit in sy outobiografie. Só word uiteengesit presies hoe hy die hele Swede geflous en om sy pinkie gedraai het, ondanks verskeie aanklagte van dwelmhandel, poging tot moord, aanranding, diefstal en dosyne bankrooftogte.
Lees verder
In Pulse is oorlewing allesbehalwe ’n speletjie as ’n groep videospeletjieskeppers deur elektromagnetiese strale getref word en binne hul eie game in ’n stryd tussen lewe en dood vasgevang word. Onder die akteurs in die rolverdeling tel SAFTA-wenner Tarryn Wyngaard, bekend vir haar werk op DAM. Sy speel Jaz, die skepper van ’n indie-trefferspeletjie. Thapelo Mokoena (Trackers) speel Jaz se eks.
Lees verder
The Staircase is gegrond op ware gebeure wat in 2004 in true crime-dokkie deur Jean-Xavier de Lestrade omskep is.
Die nuwe HBO-reeks is deur Antonio Campos geskep. Daar is bekroonde swaargewigte in die hoofrolle met Colin Firth speel as Michael Peterson, die misdaadromanskrywer wat skuldig bevind is aan die moord op sy vrou Kathleen Peterson, nadat sy dood aan die onderkant van die stel trappe in hul huis gevind is. Kathleen word deur Toni Collette, bekend vir haar werk in Hereditary (op Showmax), gespeel.
Lees verder
Dié absoluut briljante reeks is losweg gegrond op die werklike Peaky Blinders-bende wat in die 19de eeu amok in Birmingham, Engeland gemaak het.Peaky Blinders is sedert 2013 soos TV-stapelvoedsel. Dit is een van die min reekse wat oor die afgelope dekade konsekwent in gehalte was. Só ook konsekwent in die gebruik van nimmereindige geweld. Maar dis hoe die Shelby-broers werk om dinge gedoen te kry. Aan die hoof van die familie-bende is die koel, maar genadelose Tommy, wat met intimiteit deur Cillian Murphy gespeel word. Paul Anderson is Arthur, die oudste broer wat te veel van ’n fokop van alles maak en dus nie met familiesake vertrou kan word nie.

Actress and author Bonnie Mbuli has launched her exclusive and unique jewelry collection, called Bon Ami by Bonnie Mbuli, to celebrate South Africa’s beauty and resilience the collection honours people of SA, who have had to endure the harsh realities of the pandemic.
She announced at the beginning of this month that she has been working on something special. Putting a spotlight on mental health is the goal of the collection. Having gone through a few trials in her life, the Noughts + Crosses actor says that the collection is aimed at increasing a positive mindset and enhancing one’s well-being through affirmations engraved on all nine pieces. Mbuli says: “when I was on the journey of healing, what worked for me were the words I repeated to myself every day. It’s very important for me to remember those words.”
In this collection, you will find gold rings, necklaces, and earrings ranging in price from R180 to R400. All the jewelry is made of stainless steel and plated in 18kt gold.
Taking to her social media to announce her first jewelry collection in collaboration with ZacKia Jewelry. Bonnie expressed her excitement as she reveals that her first collection ‘Bon Ami’ has finally dropped and is available for purchase.
She wrote: “IT’S HERE!!! BON AMI is a celebration of beauty and resilience, adorn yourself while remembering to love, accept and celebrate yourself. Our pieces are engraved with affirmations because words carry energy and with words, we can create worlds!”
She reiterates that many people have been negatively affected in the past two years as seen with the rise of depression or mental health-related cases.
Mbuli believes that self-care is paramount, more than money. “When I am not okay, my children can pick it up quickly. I also won’t be able to do my job effectively because my mindset is not positive,” she says.
“I believe the more you take care of your well-being, the more good things come to you. But the less you do that, the more drama-filled your life is. You might even be confused as to why certain things happen, and later find out that you haven’t been taking care of yourself properly.
“I wanted this range to be affordable so that it’s accessible to everyone. It’s not just for glamour or fashion but to help bring calm and peace to those wearing it.”

This year, Naledi Mashishi and Shandukani Mulaudzi were named in the Mail & Guardian’s Top 200 Young South Africans – an honorary title given to young South Africans pioneers in their respective fields, while Onke Ngucka was honoured with the 2022 Sikuvile Award for upcoming/rising journalist of the year.
Naledi Mashishi (27)
Naledi Mashishi, a finalist in the Sunday Times 2022 Literary Awards completed her Journalism Honours Degree at Wits Journalism in 2018 and interned at Reuters the following year. She was recognised in the Arts and Entertainment category of the M&G200 Young South Africans for her work as a fact-checker at Africa Check especially during the Covid-19 pandemic when misinformation was rife.
She also effectively made use of Twitter thread to debunk common myths making the rounds during Covid-19.
In 2021 she was named by Democracy Works Foundation as an African woman promoting democracy in her country.
In the same year, she wrote and published her debut novel, “Invisible Strings” which tells the story of a young African woman, who develops otherworldly powers, and her attempts to overcome the different challenges from her past and present. The book has landed Mashishi a Sunday Times on the longlist for the 2022 Sunday Times Literary Awards.
Mashishi plans to continue working as a researcher at Africa Check and write another book by 30. She also intends to do her Master’s in Global Health Policy.
At the core of her work, Mashishi ensures that accurate news is delivered to audiences to help them make informed decisions about their lives. She also believes that journalists need to make an effort to understand science and health issues, especially before reporting on them.
“The role of the media has become more important than ever with the amount of misinformation that’s out there. It’s super important that journalists get it right and get it right the first time,” she said.
Shandukani Mulaudzi (32)
Shandukani Mulaudzi completed her Journalism Honours Degree at Wits in 2013. At the time, she was the student journalist of the year and court reporter of the year. She went on to secure a place at Columbia University, where she finished in the top 15% of her class.
Mulaudzi was selected in the Arts and Entertainment Category of the M&G200 Young South Africans, not just for her work in media but for her recent venture into the art space.
She runs Studio Nxumalo Contemporary, a visual arts curation studio which seeks to empower and recognise African artists in the country. She believes that talented black artists lack access to the art spaces due to a lack of funding and other structural issues, and she seeks to tackle those problems through her studio. She is also the communications officer at Mozilla Foundation, an internet rights NPO.
“I’ve done so much since graduating and I love how Wits prepared me to pivot in between different spaces,” she said.
Mulaudzi got into journalism while doing her undergraduate BComm degree at Rhodes University, first as a DJ and music manager at Rhodes Music Radio (the campus radio station), and later as an intern at Sunday World.
Thereafter, she worked at YOU Magazine, Finweek, City Press and Huffington Post, covering a range of topics.
“While there [City Press] I covered amazing politics stories with Sithembile Cele, arts stories under Charles Blignaut’s leadership and also broke the PTA girls racism stories which opened up a can of worms regarding all sorts of other racism at former model c schools and even at black schools”.
Following her stint at City Press, she worked at Huffington Post South Africa as an engagement editor.
“I was doing amazing work – my favourite story was about the Decolonised National Anthem but my most successful stories were 1. A personal essay I wrote about sexual violence in South Africa. It was “The First Time I Saw A Penis I Didn’t Want To” and then a story I wrote about Yvonne Orji which I wrote at HuffPost in the week I got suspended.”
She later freelanced at The Big Debate, Power FM, and Inside Education and worked as a content producer and in communications in a number of different spaces.
Working in the field for a number of years, Mulaudzi says journalism has become a toxic space, and mental health issues need to be taken seriously.
“What makes the media one of the most toxic spaces however is that while we want to talk truth to power we allow things like The City Press 6, The HuffPost Ghost and now The New Frame 31 to happen without holding ANYONE accountable. It’s dangerous. Young journalists are alcoholics, at Akeso, or leaving the industry entirely because journalism is TOXIC (sic)And this is not a South African problem – it is a global problem.”
Onke Ngucka (26)
Onke Ngucka was named upcoming journalist /rising star of the year at the Sikuvile Journalism Awards 2022 – sponsored by Standard Bank and hosted by the South African National Editors’ Forum in Johannesburg on 26 June 2022.
Ngucka completed her Journalism Honours Degree at Wits Journalism in 2018 and now works at the Daily Maverick where she focuses on climate and environmental issues. Before this, she interned at Reuters for a year, spending half of it as a financial and general news reporter and the other half as a producer for Reuters TV.
“It was such an incredible time, slightly overwhelming because Reuters is international and I think coming from a very local newsroom – in terms of it being a community paper [The Wits Vuvuzela] it was a big jump but it was also very interesting to see how all of the skills that I learnt in a very small newsroom and from a community newspaper were very applicable in an international newsroom and to an international audience.”
In 2021 Ngucka took up a fellowship which was a partnership between the Rosa Lux Foundation and the Young African Journalism Accelerator Programme on climate justice. In November 2021 she was awarded a Climate Tracker Fellowship to cover COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Ngucka also went to Kenya to report on the United Nations environmental assembly where the first legally binding plastic ban was adopted. She plans to focus on climate and environmental stories and do more stories that have an impact and are more human-centred to put that face on the climate crisis.
To aspiring journalists, she says join the industry if you genuinely want to make a contribution to South Africa, especially noting the struggles the country is facing right now.
Mashishi, Mulaudzi and Ngucka join a long list of Wits Journalism alumni who have been awarded and recognised for their contributions to the South African media landscape and the country as a whole.

STILBAAI NUUS - Toe Fresenius hul dialisediens in Februarie vanjaar in Stilbaai-Oos staak, moes Magda Niemand die 130 km George toe drie keer per week per motor aanpak.
Dit het beteken dat sy ten minste drie ure op die pad was en elke dialisesessie duur vier ure.
Saam met die opstel van die sessie was sy dus drie keer per week vir agt ure 'n dag daarmee besig. Vir 'n besigheidsvrou was dit regtig nie die ideale situasie nie. Die besige N2 het dit nie makliker gemaak nie en teen die tempo wat die brandstofprys styg, raak dit onbekostigbaar.
Tans is die wêreldwye tendens om tuis-dialise te doen.
Om dit in die gemak van jou eie huis te doen het natuurlik baie voordele, want jy hoef nie meer op die pad te wees nie. Jy bestee net vier ure, plus die opstel van die dialise, en jy kan daar waar jy sit aangaan met administratiewe take of jy kan lees, TV kyk en selfs brug speel saam met jou vriende.
Magda het aanvanklik peritoneale dialise gedoen, maar dit was nie suksesvol nie. Sy het toe omgeskakel na hemodialise en is tans die enigste pasiënt landwyd wat by Fresenius hierdie tipe tuisdialise doen.
Die nierdialisemasjien en watersuiwerings-apparaat is in haar huis geïnstalleer. Jy het natuurlik iemand nodig om jou op te koppel en jou te monitor gedurende die vier ure sessie.
Jou bloeddruk moet byvoorbeeld gemonitor word en daar moet in 'n steriele omgewing gewerk word. 'n Familielid of professionele persoon kan hierdie taak vervul en in Magda se geval is dit suster Enid Louw. Enid moes 'n ses weke lange kursus doen om Magda te ondersteun en Magda het die gemoedsrus dat 'n professionele persoon na haar omsien.
Aangesien nierdialise permanent deel van haar is, het tuisdialise Magda se lewe ingrypend verander.
Sy is nie meer op die pad George toe en terug drie keer 'n week nie. Sy is in die gemak van haar eie huis en sy kan selfs naweke weggaan. Sy is ook in die bevoorregte posisie dat haar mediese fonds die behandeling goedgekeur het en betaal vir die huur van die masjien. As dit nie daarvoor was nie, sou dit vir haar onbekostigbaar wees.
Indien enigiemand meer te wete wil kom rakende die masjien en die prosedure is jy welkom om Erika Pieterse, eenheids-bestuurder van Fresenius in George by 082 878 7445 te skakel.
Vir enige navrae rakende die versorging kan jy Enid Louw kontak by 076 868 7886.

Stilbaaier se stryd met nierdialise

Update
ALBERTINIA RUGBYNUUS - Albertinia Rangers het Saterdag 9 Julie verras toe hy die voorloper, Knysna, op sy tuisveld met 16 - 12 gewen het.
Knysna het Rangers van die afskop af gewys waarom hulle steeds die pas aangee in die Superliga B-klubkompetisie.
Sy voorspelers het 'n groot gedeelte van die wedstryd oorheers en Rangers moes hul storie ken om al die gate toe te stop. Rangers het egter koelkop gebly en stewig verdedig.
Die tuisspan se lynstane en verdediging was onder die vergrootglas, veral wanneer hulle onder druk was. Rangers se haker kon net nie sy springers vind nie en verskeie skewe ingooie het sake bemoeilik.
Dit het gemaak dat Knysna hul foute uitgebuit en hulle onder druk plaas het. Die rustydtelling was 6 - 5 in die guns van Rangers en die afrigters moes hard praat met hulle spelers om hulself reg te ruk.
Rangers se agterlyn het in die tweede helfte daarin geslaag om vir Abraham September (vleuel) in die hoek oor te stuur vir hul eerste drie. Maar Knysna het daarin geslaag om die wedstryd in hulle guns te draai tot in die laaste vyf minute van die wedstryd toe hulle gaan druk het om met 12 - 11 voor te loop.
Die tuisskare was stil tot die laaste paar sekondes van die wedstryd, maar toe het Rangers met sy agterlyn toegeslaan om die wenpunte aan te teken.
'n Perfekte skoppie van die Rangers-vleuel, Enlin Smith binneveld toe, het gemaak dat die losskakel, Keanen Tarentaal, die bal opgepik en deurgehardloop het om die wendrie te druk.
Rangers se B-span is steeds onoorwonne en het Knysna met 26 - 0 geklop.
Puntemakers vir Rangers A: Drieë deur Abraham September (1) en Keanen Tarentaal (1) en twee strafskoppe deur Keanen Tarentaal.

Eighteen months after the career-ending scandal, Armie Hammer is reported to be ‘totally broke’ and working out of a cubicle, selling timeshares to tourists.
Armie Hammer was considered a breakout star before his career suffered a downward plunge amid abuse allegations and other incriminating evidence that came to light regarding his romantic relationships with women over the last few years.
Recently published by Variety, there are new claims that came from Armie Hammer’s representatives last week denying that he was working as a hotel bellhop, a rumour that seemed to originate from a prank from Hammer’s friends. Variety quoted a source that cleared up the confusion by claiming that Armie Hammer is currently selling timeshares at a hotel in the Cayman Islands where he has been based for the past couple of years.
“He is working at the resort and selling timeshares. He is working at a cubicle,” the source shared. “The reality is he’s totally broke and is trying to fill the days and earn money to support his family.” These claims are slightly substantiated by Hammer being spotted outside the timeshare sales office in late June after the reports that he was working there started to surface. The source also mentioned that Hammer had been previously working as the manager of an apartment complex and is in the Caymans to be closer to his ex-wife Elizabeth Chalmer, and their two children.
The claims that Armie Hammer is ‘totally broke’ come as quite the shock considering before his career took a massive plunge, he was considered to have a multimillion-dollar career, as well as comes from family money. His family fortune is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, due to his great-grandfather, Armand Hammer, having been an oil tycoon.
Armie Hammer’s Fall from Grace
Trigger warning: reader discretion is advised for the following information as the allegations against Armie Hammer include sexual and emotional abuse, rape, and cannibalism.
Armie Hammer suffered a spectacular fall from public grace early in 2021 when various women come forward and brought to light claims of emotional and sexual abuse, including his exes Courtney Vucekovich and Paige Lorenze.
Courtney Vucekovich opened by saying: “He quickly grooms you in the relationship. He’s grooming you for these things that are darker and heavier and consuming. When I say consuming, I mean mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, just everything.
“You end up doing things that are very out of character for you, including sex acts.”
Star Magazine asked Paige Lorenze about her experience with her relationship with Armie Hammer and she shared that during their relationship he carved his initials into her skin, carving the letter ‘A’ on the skin above her pubic bone with a knife. “You can still see it,” she shared. “It was extremely painful and traumatizing. He told me that he bragged about it to his friends.”
While the legitimacy of screenshots cannot be verified, screenshots of messages that were allegedly between Hammer and multiple women appeared on social media that depicted Hammer as having cannibalistic fetishes along with rape fantasies, drinking blood, and inflicting pain on his partners. One woman accused Hammer of rape which led to an LAPD investigation. No charges were pressed after the investigation.
In June 2021, Hammer was reportedly checked into a treatment facility for drug, alcohol, and sex-related issues and he left the facility in December that same year. Despite the allegations, Hammer has denied all accusations, stating that all interactions with any women were always consensual.
After the fallout of the allegations, Armie Hammer was fired from his agency, WME, as well as any projects that he was a part of at the time. His career appears to have hit a downward spiral since.

Orlando Pirates striker Boitumelo Radiopane has revealed that his confirmed loan move to Cape Town Spurs next season excites him because he gets to work with the legendary Shaun Bartlett.
At just 20 years old, the Buccaneers supporters were hoping he finally gets regular game time under new coach Jose Riveiro, following his impressive displays for the reserve side.
With Pirates having brought in Evidence Makgopa and Bienvenu Eva Nga to compete with Kwame Peprah upfront, it was always going to be tricky for the youngster to be considered among the frontrunners to lead the line at the club.
But he says he would have loved the chance to prove his worth.
“I feel happy because this is an opportunity I have always wanted. Now I’ve got it and, to add to that, coach Shaun Bartlett is someone that has had a lot of influence. This is a big chance for me, I’ve never played in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, so I am ready to take the opportunity,” Roadiopane told the media in Durban.
“I wanted to play for Pirates next season [but] things didn’t go my way. But I am grateful to the club for what they’ve done for me. The Diski Challenge team is different now, it’s not the same group I played with. But I will give them a call and try to always catch up.”

RFQ/FIN/2022/89:APPOINTMENT OF A SUITABLE SERVICE PROVIDER TO PROVIDE A SERVICE OF SAP LEAVE CONFIGURATION REVIEW

STILBAAI NUUS - Die langtermynverhuring van Stilbaai se ongelisensieerde landing-strook, wat 'n openbare stuk grond is, sal 'n onherroeplike negatiewe impak op die Pauline Bohan-natuurreservaat (PBNR erf 238) hê.
Só sê dr. Janet Naudé, 'n inwoner van Stilbaai in 'n skrywe aan Suid-Kaap Forum.
Die PBNR is óf deel van die landing-strook óf grens daaraan, aldus Naudé. Dit is ook met die Geelkrans-natuurreservaat en beskermde mariene kusgebied verbind.
Sy doen 'n beroep op die Hessequa-munisipaliteit om te wys hulle is die "groenste munisipaliteit" en om daardeur hul lidmaatskap van die Gouritz Groep Biosfeer Reservaat te regverdig deur dié stuk openbare grond, naamlik die PBNR en die verlangde landingstrook by die CapeNature Stewardship Contract Programme te registreer, wat in 2009 deur die stadsraad goedgekeur is. Sy sê die raad het reeds vir die grensondersoek en -opmeting betaal.
Dit, sê Naudé, sal dié erfenis bewaar en daardeur die volhoubare potensiaal vir ekokulturele toerisme vervul. "Dis in belang van toekomstige generasies."
Volgens Naudé is 'n soortgelyke "duistere aansoek om onderverdeling" in April 2017 gedoen, maar die publiek, wat daarteen beswaar aangeteken het, is nooit oor die uitkoms daarvan ingelig nie.
Die gewese munisipale stortingsterrein is vervuil met rooikrans en is inderwaarheid 'n kritieke biodiverse gebied.
Die landingstrook is dus geleë in die hoogs sensitiewe stuk grond tussen die endemies spesieryke Canca-kalksteen en die kwesbare Albertinia-fynbos en sy toegangspad loop deur die klein (332 ha), maar globale betekenisvolle reservaat.
Naudé sê voorts die nasionale omgewingsbestuurswet (NEMA) vereis goedkeuring voor enige verlenging, verandering of opgradering van 'n fasiliteit binne 5 km van die geproklameerde grens van 'n natuurreservaat kan plaasvind. "Al beteken dit 'n klein gebied van minder as 300 vkm binne dié buffersone."
Die CMS-volhoubaarheidsverslag van 2009 het glo bevind dat die terrein ongeskik is vir enige vliegaktiwiteite.
Naudé sê dit maak meer sin om 'n geskikte terrein buite die dorp of 'n stuk reeds verwaarloosde stuk grond te identifiseer vir private aktiwiteite.
Dit kan aan Hessequa 'n meer sentrale brandbestrydingspunt en -kapasiteit gee, die vervoer van pasiënte vergemaklik en 'n ekonomiese lewenslyn verskaf sonder "die risiko van hoogs vlambare fynbos en vandalisme."
Vliegklub se kommentaar
In reaksie sê die Stilbaai-vliegklub (SBFC) is sy vliegklub geregistreer by die Suid-Afrikaanse Burgerlike Lugvaartowerheid (SACCA).
Daar is 2 500 landingstroke in Suid-Afrika waarvan slegs 101 geregistreer is.
Stilbaai-vliegveld (19 ha) het in 1975 beslag gekry en bouwerk is in 1979 voltooi. Die PBNR (332 ha) is in 1982 gevestig. Die vliegveld is apart van die PBNR gesoneer en val daarom nie binne die grense van die PBNR nie.
Die SBFC skryf hulle is heeltemal bewus van die omgewingsimpakvereistes van NEMA en is gereed om enige uitbreidings of veranderinge aan dié vereistes te toets.
Hulle sê egter die CMS-volhoubaarheidsverslag stel dit beslis nie dat "die terrein ongeskik is vir vliegaktiwiteite nie" en verder aan in die verslag word strategieë wel voorgestel wat die beste oplossing vorentoe is.
Strategieë voorgestel
- Finaliseer die afbakening van die vliegveld, wat reeds voltooi is.
- Begin 'n openbare private vennootskap tussen die verteenwoordigende liggaam, bestaande uit die huidige gebruikers en Hessequa om die fasiliteite te huur.
- Formuleer 'n huurooreenkoms wat die terme en voorwaardes duidelik uiteensit om 'n veilige, beveiligde en betroubare werkwyse vir die ongelisensieerde, geregistreerde private lughawe te verseker.
- Gaan voort om die gebruikers en inwoners van Stilbaai te diens ter wille van toerisme.
Die SBFC sê sodra die huurooreenkoms onderteken is, onderneem hulle om:
- Die eiendom te omhein.
- Hektoegangsbeheer te installeer.
- Om met die omgewingsimpakproses voort te gaan en om die allokering van bykomende terrein vir vliegtuigloodse en aanloopbaanverbeteringe, binne die grense van die vliegveldeiendom, goedgekeur te kry.
- Om SACCA-veiligheid en -nakoming vir 'n geregistreerde vliegveld na te kom binne die beperkinge van die eiendom.
Die bestuur van die vliegveld sluit ook die uitroeiing van uitheemse plantegroei in.

Landingstrook bedreig natuurreservaat

PROPERTY NEWS - The most important thing to keep in mind when designing a kitchen for people with disabilities or the elderly is the specific needs of the users.
Are they left- or right-handed? Are there mobility issues that will require more room or lower working heights? Will they be working from a wheelchair or a walking frame or using any other assistive devices?
In making a kitchen accessible, you must consider all these factors and put everything within reach. Creating several work areas can make it easier to access them from a single position.
Activity centres could include a baking area, a salad counter, a washing-up space and a passage between the garage and pantry for transferring groceries.
Providing the correct working height and reach adjustments is even more important when designing a kitchen for an elderly or disabled user than for non-disabled people.
Countertops, storage, sinks and appliances just a few centimetres higher or lower can mean the difference between just right and completely non-useable.
The ideal height for a countertop will depend on the position of the user's elbows while in a typical working position, for example if they are seated in a wheelchair or using a walker with a seat.
With palms down on the countertop, their elbows should be resting, with their forearms, at 45 degrees above the work surface.
- The accessible counter workspace is 75cm wide.
- To allow for knee and toe clearance, the countertop must not be obstructed by base cabinets.
- Pull-out shelves sliding out of the countertop is another way to create an easily accessible food preparation space.
Stove tops should be slightly lower for working surfaces so that the user can look down into pots and pans without strain. A stand-alone hob - rather than a stove with an oven - will enable customising the height to their specific needs. Ensure the extractor hood has a high enough clearance above the hob, so they don't accidentally bump their head.
The top of the oven should be at shoulder height when in a wheelchair so that they can easily see what is inside and don't have to reach down to remove hot items.
Sinks need open space below to allow wheelchair or walker users to access the sink.
- Knee clearance for a sink needs to be at least 70cm high and 20cm deep at the knees.
- The drain should be at the back of the sink so the piping won't obstruct a person in a wheelchair.
- Hot water pipes should be insulated or enclosed to prevent accidental burns.
- Set the geyser temperature to the maximum heat that the user can tolerate without burning.
- Mixer taps are easier to operate for people with disabilities, and installing them to the side of the sink may make it more accessible for some users. Other options include touch control taps that allow the user to turn them on and off with one touch.
- Drawers on either side of the sink will provide easy storage of cleaning products.
When designing kitchen cabinets and other storage facilities, the user should not need to reach above their head for anything heavier than a box of cereal.
Ergonomically correct reaching height is just above eye level. To calculate the correct height for shelves, note the level of their elbows when they reach above their head.
- Pull-out shelves and lazy Susans in cabinets will make items easier to find and reach.
- Electric-powered adjustable cabinets will allow the user to lower and raise cabinet heights at the touch of a button, making the storage space accessible to all users.
- Looped cabinet pulls - instead of knobs - can be operated with a closed fist. This means the user doesn't have to twist, grasp or use pinching motions.
- Other useful cabinet hardware includes full extension drawers, touch-release drawers and doors, and swing-up hinges that allow cabinet doors to hinge at the top and stay open.
- Place often-used items such as spice racks and cutting boards within reach on countertops.
- Use drawers below countertops for heavy items such as crockery, pots and pans and glassware to avoid the strain of lifting while reaching.
- Sliding doors for kitchen cabinets can also reduce awkward movement and add a new aesthetic to the space.
- Glare-free lighting and good task lighting will increase visibility and create a safe cooking environment.
- Adding dedicated illumination for each work surface will make all the difference when it comes to creating an efficient and comfortable kitchen. The key is to position task lights to cast as little shadow as possible on the preparation surface.
- Place the lighting controls so the user won't have to navigate in the dark. If they can access the kitchen from several points, a toggle switch will allow them to turn the kitchen lights on and off when they enter or exit.
- A gas or electric hob with staggered burners and controls on the front will eliminate having to reach across hot pots.
- Raising the dishwasher 15cm off the floor and making it reachable from either side will improve access.
- A side-hinged oven door will allow a seated cook to get closer to the oven contents.
- A bottom-door refrigerator is more accessible than a top-door fridge for wheelchair users.
- Consider which way they want appliance doors to swing open and make sure they can access the appliance without contorting their body.
- Appliances with touchpad operation are more suitable for people with limited finger strength and control.
- Using a base cabinet on wheels is ideal for transporting hot dishes from countertop to table or creating a moveable workspace.
If possible, before committing to a permanent design, the kitchen space should be set up and used for a few days to see if it meets the user's needs and adjust it.
Try out various heights using adjustable tables before installing permanent cabinets and countertops. This will make it possible to determine the ideal dimensions that work for each member of the family.

RFQ/LOG/2022/63:PROVISION OF PEST CONTROL & HYGIENE SERVICES FOR SABC, WESTERN CAPE FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS

Popular South African actor Sthembiso Khoza affectionately known as SK Khoza discussed his current career development, the leaked s.e.x tape that violated his privacy, and his outrageous videos that circulated on social media in the past few months.
Spill The Beans! 🙆🏾♂️
SK Khoza opened up about the past videos of him swearing and provoking people.
“I don’t remember anything… to everyone ngiyaxolisa.” [pic.twitter.com/5P5ULGaUxM]
— TwittaNerd™ 👨🏾💻 (@LindoMyeni) [July 14, 2022]
In an interview with KZN's biggest commercial radio station Gagasini FM, Khoza candidly spoke about his outrage, claimed to have been experiencing what could easily be described as a spiritual awakening, and further apologized to everyone who was subjected to his slurs and insults during the time of his psychotic break down caught on camera.
In April, a video of SK Khoza circulated the timelines where the actor is seen fuming and threatening a man while circling him. The video continued to raise concerns surrounding the state of his mental well-being and his fans and supporters have since been expressing their concern about his well-being on social media while some trolls called him crazy.
Speaking to radio broadcasters Felix Hlope and Njabs Zwane of Gagasini FM, SK Khoza began the conversation by thanking God and his family and reflected on how his media and entertainment career started. The actor confidently spoke about his journey as an interviewer, becoming Mzansi’s sexiest hunk, and also about his baby mama Gogo Maweni being a "clout chaser."
As for the s.e.x tape, SK said South Africans should learn to respect his private parts and emphasized that it happened in private and that he chooses to maintain his privacy, especially regarding things that happen in the bedroom. “We need to learn to respect people’s private lives,” said SK.
SK Khoza responds for the first time about the video that shows him giving oral sex to a woman whose face is not identified and it has since gone viral and left many people talking.

He also brought the conversation around his outrage before the show presenter could even touch base on it, proving to take responsibility for his past actions. He told the listeners that he has no memory recollection of any of what transpired during that time, from both in the morning of, noon and evening that day. “That was sad for me because it is like looking back at yourself and not recognising who you are.” He continued to say, “It breaks my heart, and I just love that I did not touch anybody or hurt anybody.”
He further apologized sincerely to everyone who interacted with him that day, and everyone who found themselves at the receiving end of his slurs and insults. “I need you guys to understand that I, myself do not remember anything from that day. So to the management of that resort, the guy at Spar and to the people at the garage and to any person I swore at or was rude to … ngiyaxolisa,” said SK.
SK also told the Gagasini FM team and listeners that he is embarking on a spiritual journey that he chooses to not speak about in honour and respect of his ancestors and God. He also touched on mental health – he mentioned that during his character on the Queen he had been experiencing challenging mental wellness and having sleepless nights, he also advised South African men to take care of their mental health.

Gwen Stefani was accused of cultural appropriation for her look in the music video for her new song “Light My Fire,” a collaboration with Jamaican rapper Sean Paul and singer Shenseea.
In the video, Stefani, 52, wears dreadlocks and a blue and yellow outfit that matches the Jamaican flag while dancing and singing to a reggae beat.
“Y’all. Mother Appropriation is BACK!!!!” one person wrote on Twitter. “Where my 2000s No Doubt / Gwen hive at!!!?? ITS TIME!!!”
Another Twitter commenter wrote, “Dear Gwen, You’re far too comfortable with cultural appropriation. Y’all Remember the harajuku girls? The bindi she chose to wear in one her videos? The bantu knots? The imitation of indigenous culture within a music video, as well as, indecently portraying Latina women?”
AWKWAFINA ANNOUNCES TWITTER BREAK, RESPONDS TO CULTURAL APPROPRIATION CRITICISM
Yet another Twitter user accused the “Voice” coach of treating culture like “dress up.”
ADELE ADDRESSES CULTURAL APPROPRIATION SCANDAL FOR THE FIRST TIME: ‘I DIDN’T READ THE F–KING ROOM’
“It’s time you stop treating people’s heritage like a childish game & give it the respect it deserves. Alternatively, why don’t you portray your OWN cultural background within your work? Im sure people would love to see that.”
However, the No Doubt lead singer had more than a few supporters.
“Sean Paul and many Jamaican people don’t mind, they are there at the set of the video lol,” a Twitter defender pointed out. “Sean Paul even praised Gwen for embracing the culture for years.”
Paul, in an interview with Rolling Stone, called the song an “epic dream” come true. “I’ve been a fan of Gwen Stefani forever.”

Shenseea said in the same interview: “I feel honored to be tapped by two legends for this collaboration, the whole process was exciting and collaborative. I can’t wait for our fans to enjoy the video!”
The “Hollaback” singer has been accused of appropriation before.
Her first solo album “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.” from 2004 featured several tracks about Tokyo’s Harajuku counterculture fashion. Stefani expressed her love for the offbeat style. She also had four Japanese dancers dubbed Love, Angel, Music and Baby who performed in several videos and sometimes live.
Stefani defended herself in an interview with Paper magazine last year.

Gwen Stefani accused of cultural appropriation in new music video ‘Light My Fire’

Billy Porter, who was honored with the Outfest Achievement Award on Thursday as part of the LGBTQ+ festival’s opening night, used his onstage time for “a soapbox moment,” taking on the Supreme Court and Republican politicians.
“Fuck SCOTUS,” Porter declared from the front of downtown L.A.’s Orpheum Theatre, following the Court’s recent strikedown of Roe v. Wade: “We worked too hard for our progress and we ain’t going back.”
Amid the Jan. 6 hearings he also called out Republicans who are now testifying and going against Donald Trump, saying, “None of you Republicans who are coming forward in these hearings right now are heroes… you agreed with everything he did until Jan. 6, until his cult followers came for y’all. You are not heroes, fuck y’all too. No more reaching across the aisle to people who don’t want to be touched.”
Looking ahead, he said the liberal messaging has to change, and after winning marriage equality and some civil rights victories — along with the election of Barack Obama — “we all sat on our asses and ate bonbons for eight years, and then the unthinkable happened. We’re a part of it too.”
“We lost our vigilance — it’s time to get that shit back. The messaging has to change,” Porter continued, referencing his film Anything’s Possible, which premiered at Outfest following his award presentation. The movie, marking the Pose star’s directorial debut, follows a transgender teen as she navigates her senior year of high school.
“Our 24-hour news cycle has forgotten to illuminate that the reason the pushback is so severe in this moment is because the change has already happened. We’re already here — look at me, look at this movie, look at y’all,” he said. “A celebration of trans joy centering a Black, empowered, transgender high school senior who gets the cutest Arab Muslim boyfriend and has the audacity to demand respect for her humanity.” He then instructed the crowd to “turn to your neighbor and say, ‘The change has already happened, and we ain’t going back.’”
Porter advocated for choosing love, hope and joy, promising, “ain’t nobody coming to save us from ourselves but ourselves. What will you do and who will you be? This is the moment, right now. This is the moment. No more silence, no more fear.”
Before his political declarations, Porter was introduced by his film’s stars Eva Reign and Abubakr Ali, as he recalled the long journey to premiering his film — starting with his Outfest debut 22 years ago for The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy. The film led him to move to L.A., where he rarely landed auditions and “would consistently hear feedback that I was too flamboyant and the role would be given to a straight actor.”
Eventually he moved back to New York to begin the theater career that would launch him into Kinky Boots, and have a “come to Jesus moment” after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and HIV.
“Would I choose life anyway? Or not? Now I’m not gonna bore y’all with what came next — I’m gonna let y’all go buy my memoir, Unprotected,” he joked to an uproar. Cut to present day and “this script found me. Everybody talks about how did you choose this? I didn’t choose nothing, this script found me. Because I had made the choices in my life that were about me. I chose myself.”
This year’s Outfest marks the 40th anniversary of the festival, which runs through July 24. Larry Horne, one of Outfest’s cofounders, took the mic on Thursday to comment on how it’s grown since its UCLA origins, saying, “I remain in awe of the hundreds of filmmakers, video artists, queer visionaries, multitude of voices over time — and the Supreme Court and the far right will never be able to silence us. Here’s to another 40 years of Outfest.” Added executive director Damien Navarro, “We are committed to leading the dismantling of the entertainment industry as we know it, and rebuilding a more abundant media ecosystem is place.”

John Carter Cash, the only son of Johnny Cash and June Carter, believes his father’s greatest legacy is his Christian faith.
The gravel-voiced singer, known as “The Man in Black,” passed away in 2003 at age 71. As a child, he grew up in the church and was deeply influenced by his mother’s devotion to God. He would later record “My Mother’s Hymn Book,” which was based on the matriarch’s teachings.
Despite achieving fame as a beloved country music artist, Cash developed a dependency on amphetamines and barbiturates, which started in the ‘60s. It would be Carter, who not only encouraged him to seek treatment, but also helped him rediscover his connection to Christianity. The patriarch recorded several religious albums, and the couple even traveled to Israel for the film “The Gospel Road.” It was later acquired by the Rev. Billy Graham’s film company.
For Carter Cash, his parents’ connection to their faith was ever-present at home. The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, 52, is now hoping to share that wisdom passed down to him. The John R. Cash Revocable Trust, in partnership with DaySpring Books, has released “Walking the Line,” a collection of 90 devotionals, and never-before-seen content from Cash, centered around his faith.
‘SPY KIDS’ STAR ALEXA PENAVEGA ON WHY SHE LEFT HOLLYWOOD FOR A CHRISTIAN LIFE: ‘I NEEDED A HEART RESET’
Carter Cash spoke to Fox News Digital about how he faced personal struggles, why he believes faith is his father’s greatest legacy and how it nurtured his parents’ lasting love.
Fox News: Why is a book like “Walking the Line” needed now?
John Carter Cash: The inspiration behind this book is my father’s specific view on faith and his enduring faith when he struggled. My father was not perfect, he made a lot of mistakes in his life but was willing to stand out in the open and say, “I’m not perfect. However, I believe, and I will continue to believe.” I think so many people out there connect directly with my father’s faith, his mission and his purpose in life. My father used to always say, “All your life, you’re faced with a choice. You could choose love or hate. I choose love.” That has always stayed with me. And I think that’s the essential spirit of the book.
Fox News: How important has it been for you to continue to share your parents’ stories?
Carter Cash: So many people connect directly with my mother and father, and so many people go through their lives and struggles. People find hope in my parents’ music, what my dad said, or what he stood for. They find direction and definition in life. People come to me all the time and say, “I believe in what your dad said. I believe in his mission in life. And I believe that he saved me. He helped me understand myself better through these struggles.” And afterward, they tell me, “What else did he have to say?”
I want to help answer that question. There are a lot of quotes in this book that people haven’t seen before. Back in the 1990s, my dad did a biography. And during that process, there were a lot of recordings that were done. And so, there are quotes that came from that process. People have never seen them. So it’s my father’s voice continuing, reaching out to folks in ways that perhaps he hasn’t done before.

Fox News: Growing up, what role did faith play in your household?
Carter Cash: It was an essential, ever-present comfort. It was an enduring certainty that no matter what we went through, either as a family or individually, peace could be found in our faith. It was very much a part of our lives. I went through struggles in my early 20s. I came to my dad one day and just said, “You know, I feel empty. I feel lost.”
He encouraged me to look within myself. He would remind me, “You come from a long line of pastors” – my dad was an ordained minister, [so was] my grandfather, my great-grandfather and on back several generations. I’m also an ordained minister. But I’m not perfect. Dad wasn’t perfect. But we still have that faith. And through that faith, we could find peace.
Fox News: Was there ever a moment where you questioned God?
Carter Cash: You know, there have been moments in my life, especially in my early 20s, and then off and on at different periods, where I felt empty, where I felt alone. My father helped me find that connection and regain a spirit of peace and love in my early 20s by reminding me exactly who I was.
It meant so much to me through the years to have that foundation my parents gave me, to have that certainty and understanding that I am saved, that I have my salvation in place. No matter what, there’s nothing I can do to remove that from my life. It’s something I carry around with me every day. It’s something I reflect on when I go lay in bed at night. I wonder about my choices. Did I make the right choice? But I know that by grace, I am forgiven. And that’s so essential in my life.
TIKTOK STAR CRISTINA BAKER REVEALS HOW SHE FOUND GOD AFTER SURVIVING HOMELESSNESS, ADDICTION: ‘I WAS LOST’
Fox News: It’s no secret your father endured plenty of struggles. How did his faith help him face those obstacles that may have appeared impossible to face?
Carter Cash: Faith is a continuing relationship that you nurture. And it’s something he always returned to, even during the most difficult moments of his life. At the end of his life, when my mother passed away, my father found the endurance to continue through faith. And he was still making music. That was directly in line with what he learned when he was a boy and would go to church.
He went through the pain of losing his brother at 14 when my dad was 12. And his brother had great faith in God. My father would always go back to what he learned when he was young and how he made it through those initial hardships. Even at the end of his days, he found that certainty in his faith. He always maintained hope even during the greatest hardships of his life. That always endured.
Fox News: When did you first realize that your parents were different?
Carter Cash: When I was three or four years old, my parents would bring me up on stage and I would take a bow before the audience *laughs*. But even at that young age, I felt that energy coming from the crowd. I felt a rush of this magic. I would look at my father, this larger-than-life figure, just beaming. I think even at that point, when I was very, very young, I realized that this was a unique situation. But you know, my dad and my mother never got too far above their upbringing. They always kept a sense of humility in their lives. That certainly made it much easier to put that larger-than-life image in the proper place. They were simply kind, loving, simple people. That was number one to them.
Fox News: While putting this book together, what was one memory of your parents that you revisited?
Carter Cash: I think about those days when my dad and I spent alone time on fishing trips. Even when we were on the road, and we would all travel together, we kept that closeness as a family. That togetherness was essential to my upbringing. I didn’t know any different. I hope to carry that on with my children. That sense of family was so important to them and I hope to continue bringing that sense of togetherness into my own home and keep it there. There’s a beauty to family like no other. And my parents wanted to make sure I experienced that.
PAT BOONE SAYS ‘MORAL VALUES’ ARE MISSING FROM TODAY’S HOLLYWOOD’S FILMS: ‘AMERICA’S IMAGE IS BEING DESTROYED’
Fox News: Your parents’ love story is well known. How did faith nurture their relationship?
Carter Cash: They were a brother and sister in God, and that was one of the foundations of their relationship. They read scriptures together, they read poetry together. They found meaning in life through faith as friends first. And it’s something that stayed with them all their lives. People often ask, “What’s it like being the product of the greatest love affair that ever was?”- I say, “Well, you weren’t there were you?”
They were human, they were not perfect. And they were the first to let you know that. There was a mystery that developed around my parents later on. The movies made them larger than life. But the fact of the matter is that the simple things – the love, the hope, the togetherness, the kinship that they had as a brother and sister in Christ – these are the things that they kept going back to as husband and wife. And they didn’t live happily ever after. My parents had troubles and addictions and all these different things that, in some ways, ruled their life. But they came back to God. And that’s what made them who they were.
Fox News: How did your father cope with your mother’s passing?
Carter Cash: Sadly and broken. It was the end of a part of his home, his life and existence. I think one thing he gained was an appreciation for that love. They were more in love with each other when she passed away than they had ever been before. That’s what matters, not that they were happily ever after, but that they were happy after all. And that their love was that great. And they were far better as people than not for finding it in each other.
Fox News: What do you think was the most important lesson that your father wanted to pass down to you?
Carter Cash: Oh, I’d say carry on in the face of adversary. Keep it up. Find something to believe in. Remember the things that matter. You know, he was a good father, he really was. He was not without flaws. But he encouraged me to accept who I was and to learn the best he had to offer. I hope to pass that down to my children.
CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY EXPLAINS KEEPING HIS FAITH STRONG IN HOLLYWOOD: ‘I STICK TO THE THINGS I BELIEVE IN’
Fox News: In a previous interview, you said, “I think my father would say that hopefully, his greatest legacy will be his faith in God, his joy for family, and his faith and spirit continually.” Some people may go, “But what about the music and the incredible success he achieved?”
Carter Cash: I think he knew what really mattered in life. In the end, you’re not going to bring that with you. In the end, what’s going to matter is that you did good for your loved ones. His lasting faith was his greatest legacy. Larry King asked my dad on live television what the most important legacy he had was, and how he would like to be remembered. His answer was simply, “As a good father.” And as a father, he was a wonderful one. And so in that, he was successful.
Fox News: What’s life for you today?
Carter Cash: It’s about making sure the diapers are changed and that the kids have the right breakfast, and they’re learning, whether it’s to swim or read the Bible *laughs*. I have a 25-year-old [Joseph] who is a wonderful musician. I have a 16-year-old son named Jack who is also a great piano player. My daughter AnnaBelle is 20. My daughter Grace is 4. And my youngest James is one. It’s been an honor to see the heritage within their hearts. That kindness is within them.
And it feels wonderful to know that the faith can be passed on to them. Hopefully, I can live by example so that they can take the good from me and appreciate how I can fall short but still lean on my faith during good times and bad. For us, it’s about the love, the togetherness. It’s about coming back to each other in the end.

RUGBY NUUS - Mosselbaai Titans het tydens 'n onlangse Kusstreek tuis-ligawedstryd gewys wie is baas toe hulle die Proteas van Ruiterbos met 38 teenoor 12 geklop het.
Hierdie was Titans se negende agtereenvolgende oorwinning en maak van hulle die voorlopers in hul liga.
Met hierdie sege dring Titans dan nou deur na die kwart eindronde wat later vanjaar gespeel word.
Mosselbaai Titans bedank hul borge wat geleenthede soos hierdie vir hul moontlik maak.
'Ons bring jou die nuutste Tuinroete, Hessequa, Karoo nuus'

Titans wen nege in 'n ry

RUGBY NUUS - 'n Fikser, en meer vasberade Barbarians 15-tal se voorsprong van 10-9 tot net voor die eindfluit teen Bridgeton op Oudtshoorn, lyk bemoedigend vir die klub se oorblywende wedstryde.
Die tuisspan, wat Barbarians in die doodsnikke van die wedstryd met 14-10 geklop het, kon hulself gelukkig ag, want op die dag se spel was die besoekers die beter span.
Barbarians se agt-tal het met goeie skrumwerk en rolmaalbewegings Bridgeton onder groot druk geplaas, maar afronding het egter ontbreek.
Met Barbarians in die agtste plek op die punteleer, is 'n plek in die semi-finaal vir eers buite hul bereik. Na aanleiding van Saterdag se goeie vertoning kan hulle die kaarte egter deurmekaar krap vir 'n paar top spanne wat mik na 'n plek in die semi-finale.
Môre, Saterdag 16 Julie, pak Barbarians juis vir Evergreens wat vyfde op die punteleer is, op D'Almeida Park, Mosselbaai. Hierdie wedstryd beloof om hoogtepunte op te lewer tussen dié twee spanne.
Barbarians wat in die eerste rondte teen Evergreen vasgeval het, sal die bordjies wil verhang.
Ander uitslae:
- B-spanne: Babaas 16 Bridgeton 8;
- C-spanne: Babaas 16 Bridgeton 7.

Update
STILBAAI NUUS - Lapskuit was Saterdag 9 Julie 'n miernes van bedrywighede toe 21 pragtige veteraan- en klassieke motors daar bymekaargekom het vir 'n pretrit met 'n skattejag deur Stilbaai en Jongensfontein.
Die deelnemers het van vroegoggend af aangekom en daar is lekker gesels voor hulle met intervalle van 90 sekondes uitmekaar weggespring het op 'n roete waar die navigator bietjie kaartlees moes doen.
Hulle moes ook 45 vrae beantwoord van plekke op hulle roete, by spoedbeperkings hou, verkeersreëls nakom en natuurlik die roete en natuurskoon geniet.
By die wegspring het Leon Oelofse sy 1920-grammofoon uitgehaal en goed opgewen sodat Ron en Anneke Harris van George die byeenkoms op die maat van Sarie Marais kon oop dans.
Van kwart oor elf af het die motors begin inkom en dit was duidelik dat almal die roete terdeë geniet het. By hulle aankoms is almal getrakteer met heerlike hamburgers en nuuskieriges het die geleentheid gehad om met die voertuie se trotse eienaars te gesels.
Daar was natuurlik ook pryse op die spel en die wenners was Kobus en Elize Joubert van Riversdal met hulle omgeboude 1981 Isuzu-bakkie.
Trouens, daar was pryse vir elke deelnemer en niemand het met leë hande huis toe gegaan nie.
Almal was dit eens dat hierdie 'n jaarlikse instelling moet wees. Dit kan natuurlik net groter en beter raak.

Just Wheels-pretrit lok talle

Following a season on loan at AmaTuks from his parent club Mamelodi Sundowns, left-back Siyanda Msani is set for another spell away from Chloorkop.
But this time he will be playing in the DStv Premiership, with Downs and rookies Richards Bay believed to be in talks over his transfer, SABC Sport can reveal.
The 20-year-old defender is currently part of Bafana Bafana’s COSAFA Cup squad led by assistant coach Helman Mkhalele, and was impressive in his debut on Wednesday when South Africa went down to Mozambique in the quarterfinals.
Msani was a regular for AmaTuks in last season’s GladAfrica Championship, which has now been rebranded and named The Motsepe Foundation Championship after mining magnate – and Sundowns owner – Patrice Motsepe confirmed last month that his family name would bail out the league.
Information gathered by SABC Sport confirms that the Brazilians are in advanced talks with Richards Bay to secure the youngster a loan move and all that is outstanding is the finer details and paperwork.
The Brazilians have a collaboration with the University of Pretoria and it is likely that, had they been promoted to the top-flight, Msani would have remained in Tshwane to continue his development but it is clear his parent club want him playing elite football.
The Natal Rich Boys won promotion in May and have made a number of signings to beef up coach Pitso Dladla’s side, including the arrival of new technical advisor Vasili Manousakis, who spent the last two years at AmaZulu as assistant coach.
The move is then likely to be finalised when Msani returns from the Bafana camp at the end of the COSAFA Cup in Durban this weekend.

Downs to loan out Bafana youngster

PROPERTY NEWS - When a person occupies a home but does not own it, all sorts of complicated scenarios and questions can arise. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, you are not alone if you have a few unanswered questions.
"The majority of questions we receive via our regional support office online channels have to do with rentals," says Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
"Most questions tend to be around the deposit and other maintenance-related concerns," he explains.
To help clear up the confusion, South Africa's largest real estate brand, RE/MAX of Southern Africa, shares the answers to some of the most frequently asked rental questions.
The landlord is entitled to deduct from the rental deposit any expenses incurred repairing any damage to the property that occurred during the tenancy.
The remainder of the money must then be refunded to the tenant no later than 14 days after the restoration of the property as dictated by the Rental Housing Act.
If repairs are done, the tenant can request to see all repair receipts to confirm that the money was spent to repair the damage they did to the property.
In general, the landlord cannot use the deposit for what is classified as consumables (items that must be replaced regularly because of consumption or wear and tear), general maintenance or upkeep of the property. If there is no damage to the property, the full deposit and interest must be paid to the tenant within seven days of the lease's expiry date.
The rental agreement will outline the responsibilities of both the tenant and the landlord, as well as the consequences if these are not met. But, in general, below are some of the most important points to take note of:
- Pay the deposit;
- Pay the rent and services in full and on time as per the lease agreement;
- Keep in mind that you cannot withhold rental payments just because you're not satisfied;
- Clarify in writing what maintenance is going to be your responsibility;
- Protect and maintain the interior of the property against wear and tear;
- Not make any changes to the property without your landlord's agreement;
- Pay for living expenses such as electricity, water, and internet (although landlords may choose to include some of these costs within the rental amount);
- Cover your own household content insurance.
- Ensuring that the property is in a reasonable condition when the tenant moves in;
- Inspecting the property before the tenant moves in and after the tenant has moved out;
- Ensuring that a written lease agreement is prepared and signed by both parties;
- Ensuring that all payments received are issued with a receipt to the tenant;
- Clarifying in writing what maintenance is going to be your responsibility;
- Maintaining all the permanent fixtures of the property, such as plumbing, electricity and security features;
- Allowing the tenant the right to privacy and to enjoy their home undisturbed;
- Providing adequate notice should you need to enter the property;
- Ensuring that all repairs to the property are performed timeously;
- Ensuring that the premise is safe and secure;
- Disclosing any known environmental hazards;
- Keeping the tenant's deposit in an interest-bearing account;
The amount that the tenant will be required to pay as a deposit is stipulated in the lease agreement.
There is no limit to what a landlord may legally charge for a deposit. Conventionally, the rental deposit amount to between one and three months' rent.
"Rental issues are complicated matters. Most questions can be answered by referring to the details provided in the lease agreement," says Goslett.
"Questions can also be raised with a local rental agent. If an agreement cannot be reached, both parties may seek free council from the Rental Housing Tribunal (RHT), an organisation that exists to resolve disputes."

Answering the most common rental questions

Rich in heritage, with grand wining and dining splendour, The Bailey by chef-businessman Liam Tomlin has just opened in Cape Town’s Bree St with a gracious bow to a service-driven era says KIM MAXWELL.
It’s been a long wait for Cape Town Central City diners, hungry for something new. Originally scheduled to open in April, The Café at The Bailey finally opened to excited chatter in the first week of June. The Bailey’s three levels open a floor at a time, to allow staff to implement quality while easing into service. “We’re perfectionists here,” is a common phrase with this team. After previews I’ve had of the entire space, I reckon the wait will be worth it.
The Bailey’s Bree St location is in what is arguably the Cape Town CBD’s most fashionable area – ably secured by the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID). It is diagonally opposite Liam Tomlin’s original Chefs Warehouse site, last trading as Chefs Warehouse Winebar & Pinchos. It marks Liam and wife Jan Tomlin’s second business venture with Chefs Warehouse Tintswalo partners Lisa and Warwick Goosen, and Gaye and Ernest Corbett.
The refurbishment introduces glamour and flair to heritage bones, transforming functional rooms that once operated as a women’s clinic.
“We bought the building, so we’ve invested a lot in lighting and plumbing and kitchens. I wouldn’t do that if we were just renting for the short term,” says Tomlin.
All-day café
On entering the Cafe, the marble-tiled ground floor has an old oregon pine counter for coffee, croissants and patisserie delights – baked on site – under a sparkly chandelier. You can order coffee or sip wine on round café tables, seated at high-backed stools in pinstripes or buttoned green velvet.
“It’s an all-day café. I see this bottom space as somewhere more elegant, where mothers may drop their kids and come for coffee and a chat. We’ll serve breakfast, lunch and light meals until the evening. There will be lighter wines, rosé and bubblies,” says Tomlin. Pass the banquette seating with gilt-framed mirrors, to move up a wide flight of stairs to the Champagne Bar, for oysters and drinks on ice.
The first floor has the same carefully restored heritage bricks and tall sash windows. But polished parquet extends back past a lift wallpapered in old Parisian street maps to a bar counter. Tomlin’s eclectic art collection hangs on many walls, a brass chandelier suspended over the staircase.
Tablecloths and table service
“This is our classical French Brasserie,” says Tomlin, “with old-style service, like the overseas hotel where I started cooking 40-odd years ago. Where you went to a restaurant because of the maître d’ or owner. You’d go for the theatre on the floor, not the celebrity chef. It’s that theatre that I want to reintroduce.” The theatre of tablecloths and classic table service.
“We’re doing steak tartare but we mix it at the table. Instead of a dessert menu, we wheel out and cook desserts such as crêpes Suzette, and we have a cheese trolley too, with a mixture of goat’s and cow’s milk cheeses, local and imported. The wine list is 75 % local with 25 % French labels.”
Staff wear classic uniforms: waistcoats, ties and polished shoes. You can dress up as a customer, too, if you feel like it..
French fare at the brasserie
The Brasserie menu is classic French but “our interpretation of it”, along the lines of duck confit, beef bourguignon, coq au vin and steak frites. With tarte Tatin and crème brulee to finish. The Bailey’s head chef Jacques Grove worked as sous chef at Chefs Warehouse Tintswalo previously.
The top floor is The Old Bailey Whiskey Bar, where whiskeys and single malts can be sipped from velvet armchairs. It feels masculine in darker navy, embossed ceilings and parquet floors, an old map of Cape Town stretched across one wall. A black Italian-tiled terrace opens to City Bowl views.
“This is what I like to call a grown-up bar. For the “Forever 30s … people like me in their 50s, who pretend they’re still in their 30s,” grins Tomlin. “Who like a conversation at the table without having to shout, with a lovely whiskey, beer or wine.” Prices cater to a range of tastes and budgets. So, if you’d like to sample a 60-year-old label, 250 whiskeys and single-malts from 13 countries will be the place to start.
“I’m trying to get a London, New York environment in the look and feel upstairs. Here it is drinks served with selected small dishes from the café and brasserie,” says Tomlin. Even the loos at The Bailey catch the eye, with different coloured paint stripes, or doors wrapped in wallpaper.
Grand European café
The inspiration? A few months ago, Tomlin went to Paris on a “research trip”, frequenting cosy bistros, classic brasseries and grand hotels. “I went not so much for the food research – I just wanted to sit in restaurants of two or three generations, and experience what it felt like.”
“Downstairs is modelled on a grand European café, as you’d find in Budapest, Paris, Prague and London. A meeting place, or for celebrations. In the morning for breakfast, then moving on to a light lunch. Later in the year, we’ll introduce high tea in the afternoon. We don’t have Europe’s pre- and post-theatre culture in Cape Town, but it will be the perfect place for a drink. That was the inspiration, those grand European cafes I visited over the years. I love the theatre of those places.”
The one exception is an intentionally South African space. In the Paul du Toit private dining room, a screed floor is splotched with bright paint, best viewed through transparent Louis Ghost chairs. It’s in honour of the late artist’s love of primary colours. A turquoise ceiling has a red industrial metal conduit.
The dining room is decorated with studio trinkets and paintbrushes, ceramic plates, a sculpture and about 20 paintings (some owned by Liam; others for sale). “It’s the perfect space to show his work,” says Lorette du Toit, who “manages Paul’s legacy”. “Paul loved to experiment – he worked in so many mediums,” she says. “Basically, the room is dedicated to Paul’s friendship with Liam.”
The Bailey is named after a much-loved chocolate labrador, who died a few years ago. Says Tomlin: “This is a place with beautiful interiors, where you can do business, celebrate, relax, come with your family or romantic partner. To suit every occasion. That’s what we’re trying to do here.” Honouring the classics with a grand yet comforting experience.

In an interview, Yoliswa told Mgosi everything you should know about the creative.
Speaking to Mgosi, Yoliswa told us “Definitely in high school, that’s when I knew that fashion was a big part of my purpose”. Yoliswa mentioned that she prefers the title “creative entrepreneur rather than “designer”.
“I don’t refer to myself as a designer I prefer calling myself a creative entrepreneur, but the minute I knew I wanted to pursue a career in fashion I knew I wanted to create clothes too”.
Furthermore, Yoliswa talks about how creating clothes was supposed to be something she would do at a later stage, but her plans changed and decided to achieve it sooner.
“I just never thought it would happen so soon, I always thought it would be something that would happen later on in my life. YMYA
“YMYA is a clothing brand that thrives off minimalism and fine detailing in the most unconventional way, whilst still maintaining structure and form” she said.
“My brand caters to everyone; we don’t have any limitations. If you love looking good, YMYA is for you”.
The creative told us more about what inspired her line and where she draws it from. This is what she had to say, “I draw a lot of inspiration from Asian culture and aesthetics, specifically Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. As for the inspiration behind my most recent line, comfort was the driving factor as well as timelessness”.
“Our Vision is to have customers feel like they never want to take our clothes off, because they so befitting to who they are”. HOPES AND DREAMS
In a world driven by fast fashion, Yoliswa’s brand does not conform to fast fashion trends, she said, “No, YMYA is not a fast fashion brand, and I do not feel the need to keep up with trends, but I definitely believe in selectively infusing them into my collections”.
Yoliswa told us, “my favorite part of being a creative entrepreneur is the release I get from it, its euphoric. Seeing my visions come to life exactly as I pictured, and most times even better gets me every time”.
Tapping into the designer’s future plans she told the publication that she sees herself collaborating with other brands, when it feels right.
Least favourite thing about being a designer: “My biggest fear was definitely having it [brand] not be received well and disappointing myself”. FUN FACTS: Creative entrepreneur, Yoliswa Myaluza said we should expect to be amazed by her work.

In a statement, her family said, “Our mother was an incredible woman—a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.”
She was the mother of Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.
Ms. Trump fled Czechoslovakia and found fame in New York as a socialite and an executive in the Trump organization.
Her family said, “Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country.”
She is survived by her mother, her three children and 10 grandchildren, her family said.

asus

A few months ago, the world was introduced to the newly-released ASUS ROG Flow laptop lineup. As part of its marketing campaign, the ASUS team defined in detail how the new range of laptops would fit into its already-impressive ROG series. Having reviewed quite a number of the ROG laptops previously in the form of the Strix and Zephyrus units , I was excited to see what the Flow had in store. Having received the ASUS ROG Flow X16 for review, I was able to do just that.
While the Strix offers an out-and-out gaming experience, the Zephyrus adds a bit of ruggedity to the range with a slight lean on the more cost-effective side with its predominantly AMD Ryzen range. When first receiving the ASUS ROG Flow X16 – GV601R to be more specific – I had expected somewhat of a middle ground. However, I was more than surprised by what had arrived. The unit has quite a few handy tricks up its sleeves, let’s have a closer look at what those are.
ASUS ROG Flow X16 Build and Design
Although it’s not first noticeable when unboxing the ASUS ROG Flow X16, there’s a lot to unpack from a seemingly inconspicuous build. Despite what lies beneath the surface, the unit has a very diminutive package. It measures 355x243x194mm, making it quite compact. It fits into all of my backpacks without any issue. It’s ideal for lugging around with a weight of just 2.1KG (2.08KG to be more precise) added to its small frame.
In the way of the looks department, it doesn’t offer much on the design compared to either the Strix or Zephyrus units. Both of these have a specific design ethos to their range. The ASUS ROG Flow X16, however, looks very tame in comparison. The build features a mix of plastic and aluminium materials on a black/dark grey finish. The inner side has magnesium allow build. The lid has a textured finish – the diagonals we’ve seen on plenty of ASUS laptops in the past.
Despite the textured finish, it does still pick up a few smudges every so often, which is a bit annoying. I found myself having to wipe it down every day or so just to prevent a build of unsightly fingerprints piling up. This occurs both on the lid and on the palm that rests next to the touchpad on the inside.
Without having known beforehand, I realised that the screen could flip over backwards, turning itself into a tablet in the process. This was a very welcome surprise. The hinges are quite solid and keep the unit in place while in use. It can, thus, be flipped completely over into tablet mode, standard laptop mode, and inverted mode (keyboard flat and upright screen). It is worth mentioning, however, that when flipping beyond the 180° mark, there is a small amount of play – less than 10mm – when you place the unit and it comes to rest in that position. It’s not a major issue, though.
At the end of the day, the design of the ASUS ROG Flow X16 is very tame in comparison to other ROG units. It’s not bad, just not exciting overall. However, with its smart hinge that allows for 2-in-1 use, it definitely makes up for a lot of the design aesthetics.
Ports and Connectivity
When it comes to ports, the ASUS ROG Flow X16 has plenty to meet all your requirements. The list of ports includes the following:
- 1x 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack
- 1x HDMI 2.0b support HDMI switch
- 1x ROG XG Mobile Interface
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support DisplayPort™ / power delivery
- 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support DisplayPort™ / power delivery / G-SYNC
The ports are positioned on the left and right-hand sides of the device, with nothing on the rear or front sections. The ROG XG mobile interface is ASUS propriety and not something I’ve seen before on other units, which have used the ROG keystone. The ROG XG mobile interface is used to connect an external GPU for that extra power while gaming or editing. Truth be told, given what’s under the hood of the X16, I wouldn’t see a use for the external GPU just yet.
In addition to this, it also offers wireless connectivity. This is in the form of Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) (Dual band) 2*2 and Bluetooth 5.2. Pretty standard ports and connections apart from the ROG XG interface but ticks all the required boxes.
Screen and Display
Given the ASUS ROG Flow X16’s 2-in-1 support, the device also offers a touchscreen interface. This, along with the flexible hinges was a welcome surprise, adding additional value to the unit overall. In terms of the specifications, the ASUS ROG Flow X16 has a 16″ ROG Nebula HDR touchscreen panel.
The Nebula panel supports has a QHD+ display at 2560x1600px resolution. Additionally, it also features a 165Hz refresh rate and is Pantone validated. Lastly, it has 1,100 nits of peak brightness. These specs make for good reading and its performance of it in the real world is just as good.
In terms of the colours, brightness and boldness, the Nebula panel has you pretty much covered. It looks great, whether you’re playing games or doing a bit of graphic design. It’s colour coverage map is also very good, with 99.8% sRGB, 85.1% AdobeRGB and 98.9% DCI-P3. While colour is at the fore on most panels, I particularly loved the black. It was super dark and barely noticeable even when using it in complete darkness. You don’t often notice how good this is when playing games or watching movies but it really did make a noticeable difference here.
The 2-in-1 approach of the ASUS ROG Flow X16 makes it really appealing. While you won’t use it in tablet mode as often as if you had an actual tablet around the house but it works just well. If not for its size and weight in comparison to the conventional tablet, it would’ve easily replaced the need to have one. During the review period, I spent quite some time doodling sketches, taking notes and just playing around with the tablet mode, especially using the included Stylus. It was a joy to use.
In addition to the display specifications, it also has a glossy finish and Gorilla Glass protection on the top. This adds more value to the screen and is especially important given the touchscreen and tablet mode where it’s more likely to pick up the odd scratch or two without any protection.
The unit looks and performs great. However, given the Strix’s 360Hz panel, I do wonder whether the addition of the touchscreen has limited the refresh rate a bit.
ASUS ROG Flow X16 Specifications
Now for the internals. The ASUS ROG Flow X16 includes an AMD Ryzen chipset. To be more specific, that’s the AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HS Mobile Processor at 3.30Ghz. This is featured alongside an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Ti Laptop GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM (2 slots) and a 1TB PCIe NVMe m.2 SSD.
These are very excellent specifications on a laptop that I assumed was geared more towards productivity than gaming. Looks really can be deceiving. The X16 is geared for everything you threw at it, whether it be gaming, editing or just your average day-to-day notepad taking notes – in style, mind you.
Lastly, its battery is measured at 90WHrs using a 4-cell Li-ion battery. More on this in a bit.
Performance and Battery Life
Being an early release review unit, you do have to keep in mind that the firmware may yet still be updated on a few occasions before it becomes more mainstream. During the review period, I received notifications for two BIOS updates and some additional drivers through the Armoury Crate software. Oftentimes, when I was ready to do some filming or gaming, I’d be hit with a 10 to 15-minute firmware update, which isn’t always ideal when pressed for time. In addition to these ASUS updates, there were also quite a few GPU updates from NVIDIA.
While the performance was never in question on the ASUS ROG Flow X16, there are some points regarding the heating that needs to be discussed. Under load, you’ll notice quite a bit of fan ventilation from the exhaust fans, attempting to cool the unit down. One of the biggest concerns is the airflow underneath the unit, which doesn’t raise itself much from the flat surface thanks to rather small rubber feet. However, raising the laptop off a flat surface meant much better ventilation resulting in better benchmark scores.
When running these benchmark tests, there is about a 5-10% improvement in the scores. This means that the internals has throttled a tad based on the heating of the elements and better cooling means better scores. It’s worth noting that when using the laptop on your lap, it doesn’t get all that hot to touch or make it uncomfortable to use while mobile. It still works great regardless of any internal heating.
Next up were the load tests on a few games. Here, the ASUS ROG Flow X16 performed quite well again. For most games, you can easily run above the 100FPS mark when gaming in 4K with Ultra settings. This was impressive. However, to make the most of the 165Hz panel, you’ll need to drop this to 1080p, although you’ll still be able to use Ultra settings on the graphics. Here, the frame rates averaged above 150FPS on most games, while a few were still around the 100FPS mark, most likely due to optimisation.
I loved being able to switch from tablet mode and instantly be able to run any game I wanted on maximum resolution and graphics settings. It was so flexible and powerful to handle each of these configurations with ease.
Final Thoughts on the ASUS ROG Flow X16
When initially receiving the ASUS ROG Flow X16 for review, my assumption was that it would fit somewhere between the Zephyrus and Strix ranges. However, that’s not the case at all with the Flow range. It’s somewhat of a cross between the Strix and the Zenbook ranges, offering the best of both worlds. And this is what makes it really great. With its gaming-level specifications, touchscreen capabilities and tablet mode, the possibilities are endless.
That being said, it comes in at a slight premium, with pricing in the range of R30,000 and up. However, there’s a lot of value for what you get for that price with many other units offering only one aspect of its prowess only to have a similar price tag. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another unit as flexible (literally and figuratively) and well-rounded as the ASUS ROG Flow X16.
The Review
ASUS ROG Flow X16
The ASUS ROG Flow X16 is an all-around great unit. Its flexibility and mobility make it truly stand out against competitor units, even within the ASUS stables itself. It’s extremely versatile and despite the premium price, is a great buy.

ASUS ROG Flow X16 (GV601R) Review – Be Productive & Game

It looks like mutants are officially in the MCU with the latest surprise in a big step toward introducing the X-Men into the MCU.
Mutants may have officially been included in the Marvel Cinematic Universe now that Kamala Khan masked as Ms Marvel (portrayed by Iman Vellani) has been confirmed as a mutant. This confirmation acts as a major step towards the possible introduction of the X-Men and mutants into the MCU.
Mutants haven’t been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Marvel was going bankrupt and sold the rights to 20th Century Fox back in 1994. Now that Disney has acquired the rights and returned them to Marvel Studios (which is also a part of Disney), Marvel can play around with the reintroduction of mutants into its universe.
Since the reacquisition, Kevin Feige had teased at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 that mutants would be coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was simply a matter of time. This did however lead to constant speculation over just how and when mutants would be introduced into the MCU. Most of Phase 4 that has been released so far has ignored mutants, that is until the season finale of Ms Marvel.
Ms Marvel as a Mutant
Throughout her debut thus far, Ms Marvel’s origins have been a major mystery, both to herself and audiences. Because she is unaware of her origins it is unclear exactly how she received her powers in the first place.
In the series she links her powers to the bracelet that she wears, possibly meaning that her powers have a cosmic origin, or that they are connected to the djinn. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a djinn is a supernatural being of pre-Islamic folklore that has had many names across time and cultures. Some call them genies, others call them demons.
It isn’t until season 1, episode 6 that it was suggested that her powers could be genetic. At the end of the season finale, Kamala is speaking with Bruno (portrayed by Matt Lintz) about her origin, and she asks him to look into the origin of her powers. He does investigate it further for her and ends up comparing her genes to her family’s, and realises that there is something different between them, “like a mutation.”
The mention of the word mutation is quickly followed by an audible snippet of the theme song from X-Men: The Animated Series, really hammering home the point that mutants are officially joining the MCU at long last. This has happened in one other MCU instance when Professor X shows up in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. One theory is that now that Doctor Strange has opened the Multiverse, they will be able to cross over into the MCU.
Is Ms Marvel a Mutant in the Comics?
The short answer is no. In the comics, Ms Marvel isn’t a mutant but rather an Inhuman, an ancient offshoot of the human race that was created as a result of Kree experimentation. Kamala Khan’s latent Inhuman powers are only awakened later when the Terrigen Mists were unleashed, a mutagen that causes dormant Inhuman abilities within a person to activate. Ms Marvel’s mutant origin opens the door to exploring other people who could have mutant genes that are yet to awaken.
It looks like the origin of her powers has been changed slightly, which might not be a bad thing. Mutants have been a success in pop culture in the past whereas the last time Marvel tried to introduce Inhumans into the world was a giant flop (a non-canonical Inhumans TV show).
Marvel Studios usually have good reasons for straying from their comics. If this is their way of reintroducing mutants into the franchise after their long hiatus of being owned by another company, then fans are all for it.

Mutants Have Officially Arrived In The MCU & You Missed It

BESIGHEIDSNUUS - Vir baie mense is die opstel van ‘n testament nie hoog op hul prioriteitslys nie, en kort voor lank versuim meeste mense om hierdie belangrike dokument op te stel.
Sou iemand sonder ‘n geldige testament te sterwe kom, sal hul boedel beredder word ingevolge die Wet op Intestate Erfopvolging, ongeag hul laaste wense en die voorsiening wat hul vir hul minderjarige kinders se sorg sou wou maak.
Volgens die Meesterskantoor sterf meer as 70% van alle Suid-Afrikaners jaarliks sonder ‘n geldige testament, en in die meeste gevalle is dit jonger mense wat nie oor hierdie belangrike dokument beskik nie.
Sou die ouers van minderjarige kinders te sterwe kom sonder om die nodige voorsiening vir hul kinders te maak, sal die erfenis wat hul toekom in die Staat se Voogdyfonds, soos bestuur deur die Minister van Justisie gedeponeer word. Kinders jonger as 18 beskik nie oor die nodige regsbevoegdheid om enige kontraktuele verpligtinge aan te gaan nie. Sodra die minderjarige kind 18 word, sal hul erfenis, sowel as enige opgelope rente aan hulle betaal word.
Alhoewel die Voogdyfonds ‘n effektiewe manier is om minderjarige kinders se erfenis te beskerm, word die fondse teen ‘n lae rentekoers belê én is dit vir die minderjarige se voog uiters frustrerend om fondse tot die minderjarige se voordeel te onttrek.
Om jou minderjarige kinders se erfenis te bestuur en beskerm omdat hulle nog nie daartoe in staat is nie, kan ouers ‘n testamentêre trust oorweeg wat met hul afsterwe gestig word. ‘n Testamentêre trust word gestig tot die voordeel van sekere persone (die begunstigdes).
‘n Testamentêre trust word as ‘n klousule in ‘n testament vervat, waar die ouers die termes en voorwaardes van die trust kan uiteensit.
Ouers kan besluit watter bates aan die kinders vererf word, wie die Trustees moet wees en op watter ouderdom hul erfenis aan hulle uitbetaal moet word.
Wanneer daar besluit word oor wie as Trustees moet optree, is dit altyd belangrik om in ag te neem, wie jou kinders se beste belange op die hart sal dra. Dit sal altyd beter wees om ‘n vertroueling, tesame met ‘n onafhanklike trustee aan te stel wat saam die nodige besluite oor die Trust kan maak. Dit is ook in die ouer se diskresie of hulle die minderjarige kind se voog as ‘n trustee wil benoem.
Alhoewel jy die vryheid het om enige persoon as trustee te benoem het die Meester van die Hooggereregshof die diskresie om te besluit om wel daardie persoon aan te stel.
Die fondse in die trust kan aangewend word tot die kinders se basiese behoeftes, onderrig, onderhoud en so meer.
Dit is dus van kardinale belang om alle faktore in ag te neem, en te dink aan jou kinders se versorging met die opstel van jou testament. Neem dus ingeligte besluite om jou kinders se erfenis te bewaar tot hulle eendag in staat is om dit self te doen.

‘n Testament - Prioriteit vir almal se Te-Doen-Lysie

After rumours surfaced that Ryan Gosling might be joining the MCU, he shared which Marvel character he would like to play: Ghost Rider.
It’s been four years since Ryan Gosling was last seen on screen, and suddenly he is making a flurry of a comeback as he is currently doing the rounds in press tours for The Russo Brothers’ Netflix Action film The Gray Man which will be shortly followed by Gosling starring as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie next year. The actor is often thrust into action roles such as when he acted in Blade Runner 2049. Gosling has played some excellent roles in his past such as the iconic The Notebook, starring as Neil Armstrong in Damien Chazelle’s excellent First Man, and even some odd comedic roles like The Nice Guys.
The Gray Man will be airing in theatres on 15 July 2022 and should be up for streaming the week after on Netflix.
Ryan Gosling and the Marvel Cinematic Universe
It’s common for well-loved actors to eventually encounter the fan question of who they would like to play, should they be allowed to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview, Ryan Gosling discussed the idea of him playing a role in the MCU in the future.
This discussion was brought about on the back of a rumour that has sprung up that he is signing on as the cosmic superhero Richer Rider, rather known as Nova, in the developing Nova film. In an interview with Josh Horowitz, Gosling quickly shot down the rumour that he would be playing Nova, and instead suggested that he had a very different role in mind for himself in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The next day, well after the interview had ended, Gosling tweeted Josh Horowitz and shared that he would be far more interested in portraying Johnny Blaze, aka Ghost Rider.
Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider was first brought to life in live action in 2007 in the movie adaptation, Ghost Rider. In the movie main character and stunt motorcyclist, Johnny Blaze is tricked into selling his soul and becomes the Ghost Rider to fight against Blackheart, the son of Mephistopheles, the devil himself. Starring Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider, Peter Fonda as Mephistopheles and Wes Bentley as Blackheart, the movie has never received higher than a 4.4-star rating.
Ghost Rider was most recently brought to life in live action by Gabriel Luna starring as the Robbie Reyes iteration of the superhero on the Marvel Television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. There were originally plans for a Ghost Rider spinoff show starring Gabriel Luna reprising his role, however, the plans were abandoned before Marvel Television was brought into the fold under Marvel Studios back in 2019.
The world has seen its fair share of superhero movies that didn’t do as well as we had hoped they would, especially when it comes to well-known heroes that have a lot of fan expectations attached to their reputations when becoming a movie or television adaptation. Perhaps Ryan Gosling’s interest in portraying Ghost Rider will inspire Marvel Studios to make another iteration of the ghostly bike rider.

Ryan Gosling Wants To Play Ghost Rider In The MCU

After more than a decade, we are about to get a prequel to the 2009 horror phenomenon that was Orphan. First announced that the saga would receive a prequel in 2020, the wait is almost over for a certain type of horror fan. Orphan: First Kill is lined up to hit theatres, digital, and Paramount+ on 19 August 2022.
Orphan was often described as a delightfully twisted horror flick that had everything from a brutal nun murder scene to an awkward and messed-up scene with adopted father John, portrayed by Peter Sarsgaard, where Esther dresses up in a black nightdress and tries to seduce her adopted father and many more where Esther puts the lives of others in danger.
Most of all, what made Orphan a great movie was its crazy twist, one that most horror creators couldn’t even dream of. The third act of the movie reveals that Esther, played by Isabelle Fuhrman, who is a killer child that John and Kate unwittingly adopted at the beginning of the movie, is an adult serial killer with a hormonal condition that allows her to pass as a small child.
Orphan: First Kill, after fans have been waiting for over a decade, will finally explore the early days of Esther’s, or rather Leena’s, life. The movie seems to follow Esther as she kills for the first time. Recently the synopsis was released, and it describes Esther’s journey from Estonia to America where she goes to live with a wealthy family in Connecticut, trying her best to cuddle up to them by impersonating their missing daughter.
Isabelle Fuhrman will be reprising the role of Esther/Leena, which is unsurprising after she showed the world her talent in the award-winning psychological drama The Novice. It appears that Julia Stiles will be starring in Orphan: First Kill — marking her first foray into horror since Out of the Dark in 2014.
Looks like it’ll be a thrilling new entry in the pre-existing saga for many reasons, especially because of her childish nature, everything that Esther does is a little funny and can be considered camp horror. With all these elements, it looks like the creators might have the recipe for a really good horror prequel on their hands.
The script was written by Scream TV show writer David Coggeshall who also wrote the screenplays for the highly in-demand upcoming Netflix movie Demon House. Additionally, the filmmaker behind both The Boy and The Devil Inside will be taking over the director’s chair from Jaume Collet-Serra, the filmmaker genius behind the original Orphan.
Orphan: First Kill is mounting up to be a good one as the description reads:
“Esther’s terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit, Orphan. After orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. Yet an unexpected twist arises that pits her against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous ‘child’ at any cost.”
Sometimes when movies create prequels, they can fail astronomically to live up to the expectations set by later iterations of the same work. Let’s hope that this will not be the case with this very hyped prequel.

Rising Business star and fashion designer Thabang Makhudu scores 50k to help and grow his business, Scottish Brown Studio
Once again, the youth of Soweto continues to make progress in betting their lives. The rising business star Thabang Makhudu and Founder of Scottish Brown Studio a Soweto fashion brand that specialises in African and formal wear, has won R50 000 in the Yoco competition.
Read more: Thread Thursday: Introducing the Thesis Lifestyle x Koo Collection
The Yoco competition is the market leader for small business payments in Africa with over 200,000 small businesses using its payments, software, and capital products in its home market of South Africa.
In order to win the competition, the small business owners had to send a 30-second WhatsApp audio to the community radio station Jozi FM, describing their business and how the money may assist them in growing it. Makhudu’s fashion journey began in 2007 when he was still in primary school, his inspiration was his grandmother, therefore he started to make clothes for his family and friends in order to get extra cash that could help his family financially.
He said: “My parents didn’t have money to even buy me a backpack. I then started learning how to sew and when I moved to my grandmother’s place in 2010, the love for clothes grew. My grandmother loved sewing and creating clothes, so I started helping her when she was working. I’d say I’ve been in business for 15 years now.”
Makhudu never looked back since then, and as the brand grew bigger, he decided to open his studio in Soweto with the intentions of making fashion easily available to the community.
“I have so much emotion, I am happy, excited and overjoyed. I’ve never been so proud of myself. I can’t wait to renovate my studio and get the right equipment so I can make mass production and eventually open up a store.”
Makhudu’s biggest dream is to showcase in Paris and open multiple shops across South Africa.

The party is threatening with a national shutdown and demands lower fuel prices and an end to load-shedding.

Since leaving the house, Nale launched her own YouTube channel which is currently sitting at 7.82K subscribers. Naledi has been venturing in the business side of things as well. Prior to the Big Brother Mzansi competition, Nale had her own clothing brand, but has put the project on hold as she is looking into rebranding the clothing line. “Even though I am a model, I think it’s really important to have other things. Years ago, I opened my own store and I think it would be amazing to either rebrand or bring it back and push the concept beccasue I love fashion. I really do.”
The starlet shot up the trending charts after her fans, who go by the name of “The Alphas” celebrated her recent win of collaborating with retail store YDE (Young Designers Emporium). The model went as far as sharing her gratitude for the collaboration, hoping that it expands her skills in the fashion industry.

According to Mgosi , persons who asked to remain anonymous to the platform that Anele’s agency, Everything Creative Agency is out of deal, and the actress owes them money. This is after she bagged her deals worth over R200K.

In a statement from the mole in the agency, they state their case and explain that they secured all her biggest deals. The deal of contention in this article being Foreo (Swedish Skincare brand) in particular.
“We’ve (ECA) been working with Anele Zondo for a year now, and secured all of her biggest brand partnerships, from Catrice Cosmetics to Olmeca Tequila and we acquired a campaign her with Foreo”, said anonymous.
Additionally, ECA negotiated the deal terms, which Anele agreed to. But then the actress later back tracked at the 11th hour saying she is no longer interested in the deal.
Sources told us that she however later contacted Foreo directly, “and thereafter did the very same campaign we acquired for her, without our consent or involvement, therefore swindling us, ECA of the monies due to the company.”
Anele spoke out and says that the matter is currently with her attorneys
Zondo was sent an invoice to pay the agency. But denied to owing them. Hence they decided to take the legal route. Mgosi reached out to Anele to get comment and she denies that she owes them money. She also explains that ECA are not her agent.
“At no point have I been signed to ECA as my agent. All my business dealings are done through my company, Anele Zondo Holdings and it’s various subsidiaries depending on the nature of the transaction I’m involved in.”
She continued, “In any case, in the event that there are any legal issues to be dealt with, these are handled by my Attorneys, Motalane Inc.”
According to the presenter, ECA is one of many service providers that she has worked with on an Ad hoc basis. But, has no exclusive relationship with them.
“We work with any Agency in South Africa and anywhere else in the world that we can enter into a mutually beneficial relationship,” said Anele.

She further revealed that she could have celebrated her birthday abroad, but she’s in South Africa shooting the highly anticipated series Shaka Ilembe; a story that narrates the history and making of an iconic African King who reigned in South Africa. She plays the role of Queen Nandi, the mother of Shaka kaSenzangakhona, also known as Shaka Zulu, the founder of the Zulu Kingdom from 1816 to 1828. The film will be released in 2023.

With a possible Fantastic Four Marvel movie around the corner, fans ask, ‘Who will portray Reed Richards?’
A new 4chan leak could reveal someone even better for the Fantastic Four starring role than John Krasinski . While fans liked his portrayal of the team leader in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the version of Reed Richards that featured in the film was from another universe, leaving room for Marvel Studios to recast the role for Fantastic Four should they wish.
The following are some of the many Fantastic Four –related leaks that were discovered however a disclaimer should be noted that all information should be viewed with plenty of suspicions and a hefty helping of salt. Nothing is official or has been confirmed by Marvel Studios, and essentially this information could be as wrong as it could be right. With that being said, here are some of the leaks:
“John Krasinski’s not coming back,” “Bryce Dallas Howard directing rumour’s false,” “Penn Badgley one of the top choices for Reed,” “Other names thrown around for F4 are Logan Lerman, Freddy Carter, Melissa Benoist, Callan McAuliffe, Natalia Dyer and Jharrel Jerome,” “No offer has been sent out for any actor yet,” “Casting started a couple of months ago and should be announced at D23.”
To the untrained eye, this might seem like just a jumble of words pulled out of a hat, so let’s break the leaks down a little.
According to the leaker, Krasinski’s role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a one-time cameo, and he seems unlikely to reprise this role in the future. With casting having started a while back, it appears that Marvel Studios is still looking for the perfect Reed Richards. However, an apparent frontrunner at the moment is Penn Badgley, widely known for his creep stalker role in Netflix’s You.
A Redditor suggested that Glenn Howerton would be an even better fit for The Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards. But with casting supposedly looking for someone in their 20s to 30s, it narrows the scope of who might be able to play the role and effectively excludes Glenn Howerton.
The possible remains of the cast are also suggested in the leak, including Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) as the Human Torch, both Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) and Natalia Dyer (Nancy from Stranger Things) seemingly in the running for Sue Storm, and Jharrel Jerome’s (Moonlight) name being thrown into the mix. Marvel Studios allegedly wants The Mentalist’s Simon Baker as the villain of the film, who is at this stage assumed to be Doctor Doom.
The last leak that is worth mentioning is that the director’s seat is still up for grabs, and while no suggestions have been made in the leak itself, it does mention that allegedly the role will not be filled by Bryce Dallas Howard, despite her excellent track record with contributions on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
As mentioned before, all fans should take everything mentioned in the leak with a hefty helping of salt, there have been almost zero indications that any of these actors will be in these roles other than fan-casting. With D23 coming up, Marvel Studios may bless us with some confirmed information. Until then, we are unfortunately left only with speculation.

Fantastic Four MCU Movie Leak: Who Will Portray Reed Richards?

Ramaphosa Is A Liar And A Swindler- Malema

Singer-songwriter Kelly Khumalo’s relationship with her sister has been rocky for more than two years, following the death of Senzo Meyiwa who mysteriously died in the two sisters' presence seems to be getting a panel beating soon, as Senzo Meyiwa's murder case hits a boiling point in court.
In the second episode of her reality show she revealed she still felt her sister should apologise and became emotional about their feud affecting the family deeply.
“I’m at a point where I’m tired of being mad. It doesn’t serve me any more and I think we should find an amicable way of dealing with each other … the biggest issue is I felt my mother wasn’t doing her part,” she told her therapist.
The Empini hit-maker said though she wanted her sister to apologise, she admitted there might be things she did that impacted her sibling, so the apology would be a two-way thing.
“We haven’t had serious conversations, but we speak regularly. I feel like I’ve lost so much time, especially where my godson is concerned,” an emotional Kelly said.
In February last year Zandi Gumede shared on Instagram that their fallout wouldn’t dampen her relationship with Kelly’s children.
“As an adult and a parent I made a decision that my nephew and niece would never be affected by what’s going on between me and their mother, at least not from my side. I’m not going to deny them access to me or their cousin. That would be utterly cruel of me.”
Zandie added that she had put the children in the loop about the feud and had reached an understanding with them.
“I would like, however, to categorically state that the situation between me and their mother remains the same and my feelings remain the same. I got all your messages of excitement after seeing them together, they really warmed my heart, but what I noticed is that some took my post as a sign of reconciliation or some reunion between the two of us, but it was not. It was merely about the children.

In 2020, adidas launched its entry into the carbon plate runner game with the Adizero Adios Pro . A year later, the Adizero Adios Pro 2 with the Boston theme pack. Now, in 2022, the range sees its latest upgrade in the form of the adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3.
The Adizero range is a showcase of the brand’s dedication to elevating every runner’s performance. Its previous iteration of the Adizero Adios Pro pushed the boundaries for athletes and casual runners alike. And it all started with Peres Jepchirchir’s world record win in Prague in 2020, running in the original shoe.
The all-new Adizero Adios Pro 3 offers increased performance over its predecessors. It features updated EnergyRods, Lightstrike Pro foam as well as a new upper. EnergyRods 2.0 is a carbon plate within the midsole. With the previous iterations featuring separate construction, it is now a single structure for improved stiffness. This provides that extra bit of energy return.
The improved Lightstrike Pro foam has enhanced the midsole further. It gives runners the ultimate cushioning and additional energy return to support those longer races. With the upper, it is crafted from lightweight materials, designed to be race-ready. Additional elements include the continued use of the Continental rubber outsole, as well as quite a bit of the shoe crafted from recycled materials. This forms part of adidas’ roadmap to phase out virgin polyester to end plastic waste.
It will be available in a bold new colourway, featuring a majority black upper, with splashes of beam yellow and solar green in contrast. It’s a definite standout shoe wherever your run takes you.
Having tested the new Adizero Adios Pro 3, South African marathon and ultra-marathon runner, Gerda Steyn, has described the shoe as “simply exceptional.” Additionally, she elaborated on the experience:
“They feel stable, fast, grippy and ready to fire. I love the lightweight upper and the snug feeling around my heel. I’ve really enjoyed running and racing in the Adizero Adios Pro 2… but I can tell you, this is the upgrade you didn’t realise you needed!”
Go beyond fast with the new adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3, available online at adidas.co.za or via the adidas app.

The shoe is also available at adidas concept stores around the country, priced at R4,499.

Swallows FC have lost the services of defender Fawaaz Basadien to Stellenbosch FC after the two clubs agreed a deal over his transfer this week.
SABC Sport can reveal that Basadien has put pen to paper on a two-year contract and will join his new teammates for pre-season in the coming days, leaving the Dube Birds with a void to fill at rearguard.
Basadien managed 18 games in all competitions last season in what was a tough campaign for Swallows, who only retained their DStv Premiership status after winning the round-robin league against AmaTuks and Cape Town All Stars in the promotion play-offs.
The two clubs had been in talks over the transfer and those discussions concluded recently, with confirmation from Stellies imminent.
The Cape outfit have made strides in beefing up coach Steve Barker’s squad after selling defender Zitha Kwinika and Ashley Du Preez to Kaizer Chiefs for a total fee of around R13-million, which they will no doubt put to good use.
Barker has signed five players – Lasse Sobiech, Nhlanhla Mgaga, Vusi Sibiya, Sinethemba Mngomezulu, Sihle Nduli and William Likuta.
Asked for comment, the player’s agent Basia Michaels of QT Sport confirmed there was a club-to-club agreement.
“Yes, the two clubs have negotiated a sale agreement. We are still ironing out a few more details but that will be up to Stellies to confirm,” she told SABC Sport.
Meanwhile, the Dube Birds have so far confirmed the arrival of Waseem Isaacs, Lindokuhle Mtshali Keegan Allan.
The Kaizer Chiefs duo of Darrel Matsheke and Lebogang Sefako have been training at the Soweto club and look set to join coach Dylan Kerr’s side ahead of the 2022/23 season, which is set to kick off on 5 August.

GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - A new Omicron variant, BA.2.75, also called Centaurus, has been recorded in the UK, US, Australia, Germany and Canada after it was first identified in India early in May.
According to international news reports, the new variant is displacing the previously dominant BA.2 variant in many countries. The World Health Organisation (WHO) said it is monitoring the new variant, but said there have not yet been enough samples to assess the severity of illness it causes.
In South Africa, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in its latest Sars-CoV-2 genomic surveillance update on Friday 8 July does not report detection of the variant in our country.
"While BA.1 was the predominant lineage in January (55%), BA.2 dominated in February (86%) and March (78%). Omicron lineages BA.4 and BA.5 increased in prevalence in March (16%), and together were dominant in April (73%), May (94%) and June (96%)," it reported.
A sub-lineage, BA.2.12.1, was detected in South Africa in May and June, at a low prevalence (less than 1%).
A low frequency of the previous variant, Delta, was last detected in May 2022, reported the NICD.
According to the WHO, its ability to track the Covid virus is reducing because surveillance has significantly reduced globally. It said viral evolution and the characteristics of emerging variants "remain uncertain and unpredictable". It said in the absence of the adoption of public health and social measures aimed at reducing transmission, the probability of new, fitter variants emerging increases, "with different degrees of virulence, transmissibility, and immune escape potential".
- As at Monday 11 July, the Garden Route had 73 recorded active Covid-19 cases of which the most were in George (33) and Mossel Bay (21).

URamaphosa Akagudluke Eskhundleni Uma Ehlulwa U-Eskom- ANCYL

A new teaser has just dropped for AMC’s upcoming TV adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, introducing some of the key characters.
For those that are not perhaps avid readers of vampire fiction, the last time they would have heard the name Anne Rise or Interview with the Vampire is when it was adapted for the silver screen in 1994 and was a big hit starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and a fledgeling Kirsten Dunst.
After acquiring the rights to The Vampire Chronicles, Rice’s 13-novel saga about aristocratic vampires, AMC announced the Interview with the Vampire TV series in May 2020. The show is set to take place in the same universe as AMC’s Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, adapted from another famous trilogy of hers, Lives of the Mayfair Witches.
The TV adaptation of Interview with the Vampire is set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ sometime this year, but an exact date has not yet been shared.
Teaser Trailer
After two years in production, AMC has just released a new teaser trailer of the network’s coming Interview with the Vampire TV adaptation. Footage introduces the audience to two of the main roles, Daniel Molloy portrayed by Eric Bogosian, and the famous Louis De Pointe Du Lac portrayed by Jacob Anderson.
Interviewing De Pointe Du Lac, Molloy first notes the date and time of the interview before starting with a striking question: “How long have you been dead?” This is a shock from the original where he poses a question about whether he was always a vampire. This is our first indication that the series will follow the story of both the book and the movie but in a new and interesting way.
Cast and Characters
As mentioned, Eric Bogosian will portray Daniel Molloy, and Jacob Anderson will portray Louis De Pointe Du Lac. While not all roles have been revealed, other characters in the Interview with the Vampire TV series include Lestat de Lioncourt portrayed by Sam Reid, Claudia who was confirmed in October of 2021 to be portrayed by Bailey Bass, Rashid to be portrayed by Assad Zaman, Tom Anderson to be portrayed by Chris Stack, Grace De Pointe Du Lac portrayed by Kalyne Coleman, Finn O’Shea portrayed by Jeff Pope, Peg Leg Doris to be portrayed by Rachel Alana Handler, and a never-seen-before Antoinette Brown who will be portrayed by Maura G Hooper.
With such an accomplished cast, this series is sure to be a success.
The TV Adaptation
Interview with the Vampire’s first season is scheduled to have eight episodes. The series will be produced by one of AMC’s regular executive producers, Mark Johnson who worked on both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
In an interview with People magazine, Johnson had previously expressed both the excitement and trepidation that comes with building on a story that is as influential and seminal as Rice’s.
“The challenge of adapting for television the ground-breaking and immensely compelling work of Anne Rise is both intimidating and exhilarating,” Johnson shared when the Interview with the Vampire TV series was first announced.
“Having previously produced films from such singular works, I recognise both the responsibility and the obligation we owe the material. I strongly believe that with AMC and Rolin Jones we are equipped to meet this challenge and to thrill and entertain both the loyal Anne Rice fan and the viewer who is just now discovering her work.”
Mark Johnson mentioned that he wanted the Interview with the Vampire TV series to be adapted for a ‘modern audience’, while AMC’s goal for the adaptation isn’t just to preserve The Vampire Chronicles but to reignite a passion for Rice’s work.

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) says its services are being affected by the ongoing wage strike.
SARS is dealing with the strike for the second time this year after the wage negotiations deadlocked and as the July Tax season started the Public Servants Association of South Africa (PSA) and National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) embarked on Industrial action.
SARS commissioner Edward Kieswetter says any disruption on their service is always irreversible regardless of the cause.
He says they’ve closed about 18 of their branches.
 

SARS Branches Closed Due To Wage strike

Two police trainees were removed from the All Saints Police Academy in the Eastern Cape after it was discovered, midway through the programme, that they had supposedly enjoyed sweet unprotected sex until they fell pregnant.
Police have launched an internal probe to understand how recruiters did not pick up the pregnancies before enrolling the young women.
The pair formed part of 10 000 candidates enrolled nationwide for SAPS' 10-month training programme to become police officers.
One of the women has since given birth prematurely at seven months.
The second woman's pregnancy was reportedly discovered in May after she became sick on campus.
It is understood that pregnant women and people with health conditions are deemed physically unfit to undergo the intense police training regime.
Prior to the selection process, candidates are subjected to stringent medical and drug tests before they get to do fitness, psychometric and integrity tests.
The Police, Prisons and Civil Rights Union (Popcru) in the Eastern Cape is trying to persuade the police to turn the termination of the contracts into maternity leave, so that the women can return to the programme.
Popcru's provincial secretary, Xolani Prusente, said the union was against the termination of the trainees' contracts.
He said: "We have noted that the trainees' contracts have been suspended and they have been removed from the campus. We are of the view that this move is unfair. They were already doing their training and should be allowed to complete it, after maternity.
Prusente said: "The provincial office has since written back to us and informed us that it has escalated the matter to the national office to handle it because police academies are the functions of the head office. We are waiting the response."
He said it was only picked up that the one woman was seven months pregnant after she gave birth at Bhisho Hospital. She had been rushed to hospital by training instructors when she complained of severe abdominal pain.
"Instructors thought she was having menstrual pain and were shocked when her water broke on arrival at the hospital," said Prusente.
The woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Prusente said the second trainee was four months pregnant when it was finally noticed.
Police academies fall under the national police head office's Human Resources Development division.
Employees in the personnel section recruit the candidates and forward their names to the training and development section for training.
National police spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe said SAPS' management was looking into the matter.
