Local muso set to perform at festivals in Zimbabwe and Malawi
Western Extension hip-hop artist Siphesihle Ngoma, aka Dynastee King, will spread his artistry beyond the South African borders when he performs in two festivals that celebrate African arts and culture in Zimbabwe and Malawi.
The muso will perform in the Hurungwe Arts Festival in Karoi, Zimbabwe, from July 25 to 27 and will jet off to Malawi to perform in the UMP Festival from October 21 to 27.
Ngoma started writing music in 2018 and takes inspiration from hip-hop heads like Kwesta and Nasty C.
He said performing at both these events will elevate him to new heights and help him network with various artists from across the continent.
'It will mean a lot because I never performed outside the country. It will be a blessing,' he said.
'Both festivals represent incredible opportunities to showcase my work, connect with fellow artists, and engage with diverse audiences. The Hurungwe Arts Festival honours and promotes various forms of artistic expression, while the UMP Festival celebrates cultural diversity through music and arts,' he added.
The independent artist needs financial help to travel to both events. He needs around R30 000 to cover his expenses.
'As an independent artist, I face financial constraints that challenge my ability to cover the travel and accommodation costs associated with participating in these significant events.
'Receiving financial assistance will ease the financial burden and enable me to immerse myself in both festivals, where I hope to network, learn and promote my work. Participation in these events is vital for my artistic growth and will significantly enhance my exposure as an artist.'
To help Ngoma, contact him on 073 434 5087 or Dynast33bookings@gmail.com for more information.

'From quaint cobblestone streets to majestic châteaux,' wrote Nadia, posting pictures from the trip. Mabotja also shared her experience, saying the long travel was worth it. 'Over four hours outside of Paris, worth the flight, trains, and car rides to it. Stunning art and tapestries, solid restorations, and my favourite part—they have chickens…' she posted. Located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Château de Montflour is the vision of South African couple Christo and Elbé Lindeque, who purchased the historic property in 2021. They've since transformed it into a boutique guesthouse and event space that marries French heritage with South African warmth. Musicians Este and Lourens Raaf shared peaceful moments in the hills and al fresco dinners on the estate, while fashion designer Gert-Johan Coetzee offered glimpses of the stylish suites and nearby towns. 'It was a place that made me breathe differently. Slower. Deeper. A place that unlocked quiet thoughts and stirred something creative in me,' Coetzee wrote. 'This wasn't just a beautiful setting—it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. This wasn't just a trip. It was a story I got to live,' Coetzee wrote.

Nomzamo Mbatha shuts down Paul Mashatile dating rumours with Airbnb receipts
Actress and producer clears the air after viral speculation ties her to Deputy President Mashatile's luxury Cape Town mansion. South African actress and Shaka iLembe executive producer Nomzamo Mbatha-Nxumalo has clapped back at explosive social media rumours. The rumours linked her romantically to Deputy President Paul Mashatile. However, she produced evidence that she had independently booked the luxury Constantia mansion through Airbnb years ago. This booking was even completed before Mashatile became deputy president in 2023. The drama erupted after an X (formerly Twitter) user, @sanelenkosiii, shared images of a R28.9 million Constantia property. The property was recently declared by Mashatile as his home. The user paired it with a separate post of Nomzamo photographed at a property similar to it in Cape Town. This ignited talk that the award-winning actress was one of Mashatile's alleged romantic partners. 'Deputy President Paul Mashatile has officially declared ownership of a R28.9 million mansion in the exclusive Constantia suburb of Cape Town. He used the mansion to give access to his side girlfriends for vacations,' read the viral tweet. Picture: X Fuel was added to the fire when Mashatile himself, under pressure to reveal his interests and assets, initially claimed that the Constantia home belonged to his son-in-law. However, he later changed his statement and officially declared the mansion as his own. This was in parliament's 2024 register of Members' Interests. That change in stance only further stirred speculation. Online sleuths pointed fingers at Nomzamo based on old vacation images from 2020 that surfaced online. But the actress didn't let the gossip go unchallenged. In a decisive and dignified move, Nomzamo posted official Airbnb booking receipts from December 2020 to January 2021. These confirmed that she had rented the villa, known as Constantia Lodge, for a personal holiday. The documents included timestamps and transaction records. These clearly showed the stay was a private, independent booking unrelated to Mashatile. Her response was widely praised online, with one user commenting: 'Sana, poor Nomzamo Mbatha had to scroll down and search for receipts from 2020. Imagine if ebengenazo umntanabantu.' Nomzamo Mbatha. Picture: Supplied The timing of the social media storm was particularly awkward for the actress. She has consistently maintained a squeaky-clean public image while juggling her roles as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, actress, and film producer. The implication that she might have benefited from a political relationship threatened her brand. It also overshadowed her hard-earned professional accomplishments. Her transparency in posting the Airbnb receipts was seen by many as a masterclass in reputation management. It served as a powerful way to shut down misinformation with factual proof. The Constantia property, a sprawling luxury estate nestled in one of South Africa's wealthiest suburbs, has recently come under increased public scrutiny. This scrutiny is due to Mashatile's delayed asset declaration. ALSO READ:L-Tido's podcast secures broadcast deal with DStv The deputy president originally attempted to distance himself from the home, stating it belonged to his son-in-law. However, his eventual admission that the mansion was indeed his own raised concerns over ethical conduct and transparency. Although Mashatile did not mention Nomzamo directly in any statements, the internet frenzy that followed his property disclosure dragged her name through the mud. This is something Nomzamo wasn't willing to tolerate silently. Speaking to sources close to the actress, it's understood that she views the situation as both 'laughable' and 'disheartening.' She especially felt this, given the energy it took to prove her innocence in a non-existent scandal.

Her handling of this incident once again underscores her commitment to integrity and professionalism. As one entertainment commentator noted: 'Nomzamo Mbatha isn't just a star on screen; she's a star in how she navigates fame. She knew the truth, came with receipts, and walked away with her reputation intact.' With Shaka iLembe continuing its successful run and more international projects on the horizon, it's clear that Nomzamo is focused on building her legacy. She is not entertaining baseless rumours.
