In a revealing conversation on 'The Relebogile Mabotja Podcast', Scoop Makhathini, the charismatic South African television presenter known for his engaging personality, opened up about the intricate layers of fatherhood and the personal choice he made to embrace a child-free lifestyle earlier in his life.
Makhathini, whose real name is Siyabonga Ngwekazi, recounted his evolving thoughts and feelings toward parenthood, painting a picture of independence entwined with emotional complexity.
Once filled with apprehension regarding becoming a parent, Makhathini now navigates the challenges of raising a teenager with a sense of calmness.
'It was scary, it still is. I think it's calmer now,' he shared, highlighting the myriad responsibilities that accompany fatherhood.
His initial fears were rooted in a profound desire for freedom and a fear of forming emotional ties that could lead to inevitable pain.
'I never wanted to be a father. I wanted to be a free-flowing soul on this earth,' he expressed, revealing that the connections he fostered with family deepened his anxiety about emotional vulnerability.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo at 56 embrace the harmony of change
The multi-award-winning and iconic ensemble's collaboration with Nduduzo Makhathini and Mbuso Khoza is yet another reminder of their timelessness. Nothing gives human beings the jitters quite like change. Let's not get started with the self-diagnosed OCD folks in the room (yes, I'm talking to you – and myself). But of all the things we can learn from Ladysmith Black Mambazo's 56 years in the music industry, it's that change is good. When Joseph Shabalala founded the group with his cousins in 1969, only he and his maker know if he foresaw them growing to become a behemoth in the music scene. Often the quintessential representation of South African musical culture alongside the likes of Miriam Makeba globally, their presence, resonance and impact are cross-generational. Perhaps change has been their greatest, not-so-secret weapon. 'Changes have been there, but my father has been able to keep the group growing with his passions and his teachings,' said the current leader of the five-time Grammy-winning ensemble, Sibongiseni Shabalala, son of the founder. 'We should enjoy what we are doing, but also know it's not ours. We do it for our community and South Africa. We must keep going, no matter what. We must keep promoting this kind of music to the world and promoting the life of people in South Africa.' And quite a job they have done doing exactly that. As I grow, continue to immerse myself in Jozi and start dreaming in English (yes, I know I should be ashamed as a Zulu man), their imprint on cultural preservation stands out to me the most. 'Cultural practices are life itself; it's important for one to know oneself,' Shabalala said, in isiZulu, of course. 'We are proud of who we are as black people, and we are proud of our surname. We represent our forefathers. Whatever you are doing, it reflects [on] the people of the Zulus.' In their latest musical offering, You Make Me Happy, they collaborate with fellow artist, vocalist and cultural scholar Mbuso Khoza, as well as the celebrated jazz pianist and spiritual leader Nduduzo Makhathini. The record, described as a cultural statement, unites three iconic South African voices in a soul-stirring composition rooted in spirituality, heritage and emotional healing. The track transcends genres to create a rich and resonant sonic journey, honouring traditional isicathamiya, spiritual jazz and indigenous vocal expression. The single reflects a deep reverence for African identity and musical storytelling, weaving together the sacred and the contemporary. 'This song is about joy, but also about remembrance,' said Makhathini. Mbuso Khoza added: 'It's a song of gratitude. It acknowledges the unseen work of the soul.' Ladysmith Black Mambazo's almost six decades in the industry have planted many seeds in the masses. One seed planted in me has been my fascination with their songwriting. The city boy in me loves their English tracks because, as someone once said of me when speaking my mother tongue: 'You speak Zulu with an English accent.' To me, Mambazo have always sung their English songs in isiZulu. You feel me? 'We learnt from our father from a young age. He dreamt songs when he was asleep. He would wake up very early in the morning and come to our room and start teaching us the songs he had dreamt. 'That's how we started to learn how to write songs,' Shabalala reflected. 'My father would always say that we are the mobile academy. We have to go around to teach and educate the people – preach the gospel of peace, love and harmony.' So, the next time I have an 'OCD' moment, I'll put on their timeless hit Homeless, follow it up with You Make Me Happy and be reminded that change is good.

Image: X During her performance in São Paulo, Tyla confronted online critics and the backlash surrounding her identity, while killing it on stage. For about a week, it's been an online rollercoaster with comments and opinion pieces about Tyla's talents flooding the X (formerly Twitter) timelines. Tyla recently took the stage in São Paulo, Brazil, during a performance, to address critics. Amid performing her hit song 'Mr Media', she said, 'Too many people lying on my name.'

Next Stay Close ✕ The South African star called out those who have been spreading false narratives about her career and identity. The backlash comes after a resurfaced interview on "The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne tha God". In the interview, Tyla was asked to clarify past comments about identifying as a 'coloured'. In South Africa, the term refers to people of mixed-race heritage, but in the United States, it is widely regarded as an offensive slur. She opted not to answer the question and deferred to her team, who said she will not be engaging in the matter. By then, it was already blown out of proportion, and many black Americans did not understand her stance. They felt that Tyla missed the opportunity to connect with the black American audience since then and have cited it as one reason her recent EP 'We Wanna Party' sold only 4,000 copies. Some argue that not clarifying the term, which carries a different meaning in the United States, affected her connection with the community. Despite the criticism, Tyla has received support from artists like Cardi B, who condemned online bullying and the tendency to tear down artists. Tyla's performance in São Paulo gave fans a chance to focus on her music away from all the noise. She performed hits including 'Is It', 'Mr Media' and 'Art', showcasing the lively energy she is known and loved for. The show was part of H&M's Brazilian debut and the release of the 'Beats of Brazil' campaign. The campaign featured Brazilian stars like Gilberto Gil, Anitta, Carol Trentini, and Agnes Nunes, highlighting the country's diverse culture and creative voices. 'H&M's arrival in Brazil has been highly anticipated, and we couldn't imagine doing it any other way than by celebrating the Brazilians. 'We had the chance to truly understand what makes Brazil such a unique, inspiring country, and the campaign is an exact result of that,' said Jörgen Andersson, H&M's Chief Creative Officer. Earlier this year, the 23-year-old singer and her sister Sydney Seethal also appeared in H&M's spring/summer 2025 collection alongside FKA Twigs and Caroline Polachek. The Seethal sisters showcased the vibrant and playful 'Festival-Ready' collection, celebrating femininity, individuality and women's strengths. H&M described the mood as a subtle and dreamy nostalgia blending past and present, with a diverse group of inspiring women at the heart of the campaign.

Ciara and Simone Ashley bring star power to NFL sidelines
Simone Ashley made a striking entrance into American football culture when she attended her first NFL preseason game in New Jersey. The Bridgerton actress brought her signature style to the stadium. Dressed in a cream white two-piece outfit, she blended casual, sophisticated, and daring fashion with ease. The standout feature was the sheer fabric at the hem of both the shirt and skirt, adding a clever twist to an otherwise understated look. Simone was joined by chart-topping singer Ciara, 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model. Ciara wore a red, white, and blue football jersey emblazoned with her husband Russell Wilson's number, according to Si Lifestyle. The New York Giants clinched a 31-12 win against the New York Jets, making the experience even more memorable for Ashley. The two made more than just a glamorous appearance. Later, they shared a moment of friendship over pasta, echoing classic Lady and the Tramp vibes. This camaraderie is important to Simone Ashley, who has spoken openly about the value she places on her close-knit circle of friends. 'My friends would describe me as clumsy and kind,' she told Harper's Bazaar UK. 'One of my best friends is always like, 'Go sure, you're my Bridget Jones.' I embrace the chaos.' The 30-year-old actress added, 'I love my friends. They are the best things in my life. I always want to be as kind to them as they are to me.' Ciara's inclusion in Simone's close circle excites many fans, who hope the friendship will lead to even more fun moments. One admirer commented, 'Love this duo,' while another joked, 'You're about to meet your husband, Ashley.' With Simone now filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York, it's likely she might appear at more Giants or Jets games soon. The energy, the fashion, and the friendships all promise exciting things ahead. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
