Trompies on lighting up the stage, new album and more

The group is preparing to release a new EP in August. More than 30 years since their debut, kwaito legends Trompies are still the life of the party, and they have no plans to slow down. The iconic group had fans on their feet at the Imbawula Music Festival in Pretoria this past weekend, delivering a high-energy set packed with their classic hits. The group consists of Eugene Mthethwa, Mandla Mofokeng (aka Spikiri), Jairus Nkwe (aka Jakarumba), and Mahoota. Speaking to The Citizen, group member Eugene Mthethwa said the response from the crowd showed the lasting impact of their music. 'There are people from the '90s and 2000s, all singing our songs word for word. It means our music is immortal. 'We didn't do this because we couldn't finish school. We chose music because it's our gift. We take our craft seriously. When we perform, it's not just a rendition — it's a real performance. That's what has kept us going all these years,' he said. ALSO READ: Tyla earns double nod at 2025 MTV VMAs New music on the pipeline The group also shared that they are preparing to release a new EP later this month. 'At the moment, we're busy with an EP. It'll be out in about three weeks. We're done recording, we're just finalising mixing and mastering,' said Spikiri. Formed in 1994, Trompies have been together for more than 30 years. Jairus Nkwe said he is thankful the group has stayed together for so long and cherishes their brotherhood. 'I'm grateful to God that we're still together, still spreading joy. I'm excited about the new EP. I also want to see whether exploitation in the industry still exists, because I believe God loves us all.' Mthethwa added that they plan to release the new music gradually. 'These days, you don't drop a full album all at once,' he explained. 'We'll release one or two tracks at a time to test the market and give fans a chance to connect with each song.'

‘I am appalled by the recent so-called apology issued' — Nonn Botha on Open Chats Podcast

Botha, who identifies as a coloured person, said Open Chats Podcast should be cancelled because of their insensitivity. Seasoned broadcaster Nonn Botha has added her voice to the growing call for the Open Chats Podcast to be cancelled following derogatory comments made on the podcast about coloured people. 'I am appalled by the recent so-called apology issued by the Open Chats Podcast. It was a pathetic and insulting attempt to brush over vile, deeply offensive comments made about the coloured community,' said Botha, telling The Citizen. Open Podcast's 128th episode caused outrage after they insinuated that coloured people practice incest and that they are 'crazy'. Following the uproar from political parties, civil society and the general public, the Open Podcast released a statement apologising. 'We would like to clarify that Open Chats Podcast does not promote or support racism or discrimination, as seen in previous episodes, we have had a wide range of guests on the show, including our coloured community in numerous episodes,' read the podcast's statement. The platform sought legal advice from Snail Attorneys, who also released a statement of apology on the podcast's behalf. Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie said the comments were racist and said he was planning on taking legal action against the podcast. On Thursday morning, the ANC and the EFF had also released statements rebuking the comments. ALSO READ: 'It's racism' – Gayton McKenzie plans legal action against Open Chats podcast 'But we are entertainers' True to Botha's outrage, in a recent episode of Open Chats Podcast, one of the co-hosts of the show, Mtho, didn't seem to have any remorse about his comments. 'I was saying it as a joke. You can tell that I'm joking, said Mtho. 'Bra, it was the first time that I saw a reel that had coloured comments,' Mtho said about the outrage they faced. 'I think you guys always say things that are out of pocket [out of line/insensitive] all the time,' said one of the girls who co-hosts the show. In response to criticism, The Open Chats Podcast has apologized for causing offense to the Coloured community, acknowledging the need for respectful dialogue on sensitive topics "The intention was never to cause harm or disrespect the Coloured community' PA leader Gayton… — News Live SA (@newslivesa) August 6, 2025 'But we are entertainers,' Mtho said. 'I'm scared of coloureds, after watching Kings of Joburg chief.' Three of the four hosts of the recent episode said people were too sensitive. Not bothered by how his initial comments made people feel, Mtho continued with shaming coloureds. 'Me, when I date a coloureds chief, I first deal with the colouredness first. Take it outside, she must stay black. Coloureds are too much, they think everything is war, that's the problem.' The EFF's Statement Condemning Despicable Stereotyping of Coloured People on 'Open Chats' Podcast -The EFF has become increasingly concerned about the proliferation of bigotry, racism, and harmful stereotypes on podcast platforms, many of which operate with little to no… August 7, 2025 Speaking to The Citizen on Thursday morning, Botha said Mtho's words weren't just reckless. 'They were loaded with harmful stereotypes that have long dehumanised and marginalised our people,' said the broadcaster. ALSO READ: 'They're gonna call security because I'm black?': Boity's holiday interrupted in Barcelona 'Enough is enough' Botha identifies as a coloured person. She was born in the Vaal to Motswana mother and a coloured father. 'What's more enraging is the sheer lack of accountability and genuine remorse in his response. This isn't a 'teachable moment' — it's a moment for consequences.' 'We are tired. Tired of being the butt of jokes. Tired of the lazy narratives. Tired of the systemic disrespect. Our humanity is not up for debate or entertainment.' The broadcaster called for Open Chats Podcast to be cancelled. 'This podcast does not deserve a platform. Let that show be cancelled. Enough is enough.' NOW READ: 'I really want to reset, recharge, reflect' – Nonn Botha on her departure from 702

Aldrin Sampear reveals new job after road rage incident

Aldrin Sampear has announced his decision to leave Newzroom Afrika in favour of joining the Department of Tourism. This follows his public apology over a viral video of him involved in a road rage incident with a female driver. According to reports, the news broadcaster has a history of physical abuse of his ex-girlfriends. In an X post, Aldrin Sampear officially announced his departure from Newzroom Afrika. He posted: 'While this moment is about me, I want to send a warm hug to my cheerleaders who have been saddened by my exit from broadcasting. I promise to make you proud again'. Aldrin revealed he would be taking up a post as a public servant. He continued: 'I have joined the Department of Tourism under the leadership of Minister Patricia De Lille. This beautiful nation has done so much for me. I'm indebted. 'State policies like social grants and free primary healthcare helped pull me out of poverty, and journalism was the vehicle. My life is a testimony of God's love for us, and now I get to say THANK YOU in a BIG WAY and help pull more people up with me.' Aldrin Sampear's exit from Newzroom Afrika comes barely three months after he apologised on air for a road rage incident with a female driver that took place in April. He said, 'I want to take full responsibility for my actions. Although I did not assault the other driver, I think that I should have been more composed and found a way to de-escalate the situation. I felt short of the standards I hold myself to. He emotionally continued: 'For that, I want to express my regret and sincere apologies to our viewers, my colleagues, and our management at Newzroom Afrika. I've worked really hard to make sense of this experience and the root cause of my response. 'I hope that through my actions from now on, to rebuild the trust and the confidence in me, and continue on this journey to do better'.

Images via X: @aldrin sampear In a video that went viral, an agitated Aldrin Sampear was seen confronting university student Laricia Augusto The woman told The Citizen , 'He was screaming at me. I tried to defend myself, pointing out that what he did was deliberate road rage. I even told him there was more than enough space for him to have driven safely.' According to reports, the woman has filed assault charges against Aldrin Sampear. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
