Monday Weekend Wrap- Wrapping up the weekend that was


Not so graceful Mugabe




Zimbabwe's first lady, has been  granted diplomatic immunity. It is said the minister put in a lot of thought coming to this conclusion. Seeing that the country has a lot of relations with Zimbabwe, she found it important that the relationship should be  preserved. Forgetting ungraceful Mugabe, attacked a young woman causing her several damages. I find it quite upsetting and disappointing that high profiled individuals get preferential treatment from the authorities. There are countless of other cases involving so called ''celebrities'' that have been treated differently, then they say we are all equal in the eyes of the law.



Could Mzwanele Manyi be the new front man for the Gupta's?





These speculations have come flying, after the news emerged that he had bought the media houses ANN7 and the new age news paper for a whooping 450million. I honestly don't believe that the Gupta's would just let go without wanting to still have a hand in the businesses. him buying the companies, secures 7500 jobs which is amazing considering the skyrocketing unemployment rates. However  I wouldn't be surprised if the Gupta's still pull the strings behind the scenes.


Mamelodi Sundowns off to a great start


 


The Absa premiership is back in action, it is quite exciting having some football back on TV. The Brazilians welcomed rivals Supersport United to the Lucas Masterpieces  Moripe stadium to a pulsating derby. The match had everything a derby needed. Both teams brought their  A game on the day. During the first half each team had chances but no goals were produced. In the 34th minute Captain Hlompho Kekana gave Pitso's side the lead, with a lowered effort into the far corner of the goal post. Supersport tried to keep up with the pacey Brazilians but in the second half Themba Zwane fired a gaol giving the brazilians a well deserved 2-0 win.


Orlando Pirates ship seems to be floating



Orlando Pirates secured a win over Chippa United  this past Saturday. The goal from Gabuza gave Orlando Pirates first win in the new season under the new leadership of coach Milutin Sredojevic and assistant coach Rhulani Mokoena. The buccaneers didn't have a great previous  season but with the new leadership the ship might just not sink.

Bloemfontein Celtics  1-1 Kaizer Chiefs

Platinum Stars 0-2 Maritzburg United

Ajax Capetown 1- 1 Golden Arrows

AmaZulu 1-0 Free State Stars

Thursday #Throwback- Baddest villians of all time

Image
Watching soap operas  as families played a role in our childhoods, the villain's brought even more spice to the scenes. That is why I have compiled a list of  villains that will always be in our memories. #1 Laqasha from Sgudis Snaysi He wasn't a villain per say, but he sure did give us a scare when he came around with his stick ready to break Sdumo's knees. As a child I told myself that I would never want to run into Laqasha in a dark alley.       #2 Stefano DiMera from days of our lives     This man has to be the baddest villain I've watched on television. He taunted people, even from beyond the grave. His obsession with Marlena was the most scariest thing to watch. He terrified  me for years even now I still get nightmares.            #3 David Genaro from Rhythm City     This character will definitely go down in history as one of the baddest villains...

Thursday All Access- In Conversation with Connie Zitha

Image
  Meet Connie Zitha who has mastered the art of plaiting, and hair magic. While her 7year old peers were running the streets, she was getting lessons on how to plait hair by her mom. This didn't sit well with her in fact it came as an irritation, but little did she know that the plaiting lessons would build her an empire.  I had a chance to sit down and get to know her business a bit better.  At the age of 13 years she started taking plaiting seriously, even got encouragement from clients to start her own business. She took this into consideration after she matriculated, although her plans were to study either psychology, teaching or nursing. But as you know life has a way of redirecting us at times. That's exactly what happened to Connie. In 2011 she opened her salon and as they say the rest is history.  In a competitive industry like hair you need to be able to stand out, and she has definitely found the for formula ''the way...
