Play golf with Jacob Zuma for R250k: Steal or scam?
The former president and top party management are hosting the charity day on Friday, 11 July.
In a flyer posted on their X account, the MK Party announced details of their annual youth golf development event, which will take place on Friday at the Royal Durban Golf Club in Durban.
Tickets to the event are priced in three packages: Bronze – R50 000 for golf and gala dinner with party MPs (like Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla or Papa Penny)
Silver – R100 000 for golf and gala dinner with MK Party deputy president, John Hlophe.
Gold – R250 000 for golf and gala dinner with MK Party president, Jacob Zuma.
However, many social media users were unconvinced that the event was worth the pricetag, even for socialising with former president, Jacob Zuma.
X user @capesocialist posted: 'What a scam lol. Golf?', while @Motlhaping_S added: 'How did you get to these amounts?'.
Like her father, Jacob Zuma, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla has also been making special appearances at various lifestyle events.
Last week, the 42-year-old MK Party MP was one of the special guests at the star-studded Durban July marquee.
She's also hosted parties at soccer derbies around the country.

Did Nompumelelo Vilakazi save Chrispen Nyathi's acting career?
Actor Chrispen Nyathi has publicly thanked fellow DiepCity actress Nompumelelo Vilakazi for helping him land a major TV ad when he was facing financial struggles. Nyathi is best known for his role as Pastor Charleston in the popular DiepCity drama series. In a Facebook post, the Zimbabwean-born actor explained that after DiepCity ended, he was unemployed and couldn't afford to attend auditions. 'End of 2023, when I was down and out, no job, DiepCity had come and gone. I needed money to go for auditions for the KFC advert,' Nyathi wrote. 'Nompumelelo Silindile Vilakazi sent me that [money] and encouraged me to go and give it my all.' Vilakazi, who played Sne in DiepCity , stepped in to send him money to travel to the KFC commercial audition, and then again for the callback, wardrobe fitting, and shoot. Despite still owing her from the first time, she continued to help without hesitation. 'This is how Nompumelelo Silindile Vilakazi contributed to my resurrection in the film and television industry,' Nyathi wrote. 'After that advert, I never lacked.' Audiences now best know the actor for his role in the KFC ad where he famously said: 'Ngicela ushintshi baba.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

If you're a woman and getting divorced here's GOOD news
South Africa's divorce laws are on the verge of a transformative shift, with the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development introducing a new bill that promises fairer outcomes for thousands of spouses – particularly women – married without accrual. The General (Family) Laws Amendment Bill, 2025, introduced by Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi, aims to overhaul long-standing gaps in South Africa's matrimonial property regime, which have left many financially vulnerable in divorce or death. Currently, couples who married out of community of property and without the accrual system – common in unions after 1984 – have separate estates. In the event of divorce, the law provides no automatic right to share assets, even if one spouse made non-financial contributions, such as raising children or supporting a partner's career. For decades, this meant a spouse could leave a marriage with nothing, regardless of years of unpaid labour and emotional support. While courts could grant limited redistribution orders in some divorce cases, these excluded many marriages, especially older ones, and offered no relief in cases where a marriage ended due to death. The new bill addresses these inequalities head-on. It introduces redistribution rights in divorce proceedings for those previously excluded and, for the first time, allows asset claims when a marriage ends in death. This change follows a 2023 Constitutional Court ruling, which declared the existing system unconstitutional for discriminating against spouses – mostly women – who lacked financial bargaining power when entering marriage contracts. The legislation also proposes amendments to the Mediation in Certain Divorce Matters Act, expanding the role of the Family Advocate to better assist financially dependent spouses during divorce proceedings. This includes: Enhanced mediation support Legal guidance for non-earning spouses Protection for surviving spouses in intestate estates Legal experts say the changes will significantly help: Women married before the accrual system was common Homemakers or caregivers with no income Older South Africans whose marriages never accounted for financial inequality 'These reforms bring long-overdue justice to spouses who sacrificed careers or incomes for their families,' said family law specialist Lindiwe Mokoena. 'It levels the playing field for thousands who were previously sidelined by outdated laws.' The bill is now heading to parliamentary debate and public consultation, expected to take place in the coming months. If passed, it will modernise South Africa's divorce law, making it one of the most progressive in protecting vulnerable partners in the country's democratic history.
