Afropop star Mthunzi set to light up Sunday Loving at Lumo Lounge
Afropop sensation Mthunzi is set to bring his soulful vocals and infectious energy to the Sunday Loving experience at Lumo Lounge & Living in Ruimsig, Roodepoort, on Sunday. Best known for his collaboration with Kabza De Small on the chart-topping EP Isimo, Njabulo 'Mthunzi' Ndimande has carved out a space as one of the most compelling voices in the South African music scene. The project raked in more than 40-million streams across digital platforms, with the standout hit Imithandazo becoming a global fan favourite. In an interview, Mthunzi reflected on his musical journey and how his passion was sparked at an early age. 'I started singing when I was just three years old. My mom noticed my love for music early on and has supported me ever since,' said the artist, who hails from Hammarsdale in KwaZulu-Natal. The Sunday Loving event promises fans an intimate night of live music and vibes. Organisers say Mthunzi's performance will be a key highlight. Lucky Mpilo of Lumo Lounge told TshisaLIVE: 'We are excited to have a mega artist such as Mthunzi in our establishment. His fans are in for a treat. It's going to be the best Sunday for our patrons.' With his blend of heartfelt lyrics and genre-blurring sound, Mthunzi's set is expected to be nothing short of magical.

Hot stepper! Young 'Cheslin Kolbe' goes viral at Craven Week
A South African primary schoolboy has been compared to an up-and-coming Cheslin Kolbe after a clip of him sidestepping during a friendly rugby game at Craven Week went viral on social media. Zedan Johnson of Rietkuil Primary School broke the internet with his quick 'goose steps' that has reportedly caught the eye of rugby scouts. While all eyes were on the pitch during Craven Week's fierce school rugby battle this week, little Zedan Johnson played his own game amongst his pals behind the posts. Facing opponents much bigger than him, the Rietkuil Primary learner was filmed zig-zagging with ease and speed to score a try in his makeshift game. His moves were widely compared to Springbok Cheslin Kolbe, who has been voted the best winger and scrumhalf of his generation. 'Nobody cares about Craven Week, and everyone is going crazy about this kid', posted TikTok user @brandensauerman. @brandensauerman The main event of the day😂 © 2025 [@Visua ]. All rights reserved.

No DNA, just RSA!'. Media personality Siv Ngesi also reposted a clip of the schoolboy, sharing: 'Give him a Springbok contract, put a scrum cap on him, and protect him till he is ready!' @samedmonds92 The biggest game at Craven Week today!

'Because he plays like me – nice!', he said of his role model. Zedan added that he wanted to play for the Springboks when he grew up, as 'they are the greatest team'. @stadio_higher_ed We caught up with Zedan Johnson aka Small, the boy who stole the show (and our hearts) at Craven Week with that Kolbe step 🏉💫 Hear what the future star has to say! 🌟 #STADIOHigherEducation #fyp #foryoupage #trending #explore #CravenWeek #sama28 ♬ The Champion – Lux-Inspira Like Zedan Johnson, Cheslin Kolbe also once shared his dreams of playing for the green and gold team. In an EWN sports feature in 2013, the baby-faced star – then just 20 years old – spoke about his goals as a rising rugby player. The winger had just signed for the Stormers – a 'dream come true' – and, despite his small frame, was hoping to make a significant impact on the pitch. Western Province coach John Dobson lauded the pint-sized player as 'outstanding,' while Stormers coach Allister Coetzee called him a 'gifted player.' Born into a community riddled with crime and drugs, Cheslin Kolbe decided to 'take a different path'. Known for his skill as a 'side-stepper' – which he has now honed to perfection – the eager player described his ultimate goal. 'My biggest dream is to become a Springbok', he said with conviction. He added: 'It doesn't matter about size and weight. It's all about the heart and mind. You can achieve anything you think you can'. Last year, Cheslin Kolbe was nominated for the World Player of the Year Award. He also won SA Rugby's Player of the Year Award.
