Image: Supplied In a heartwarming show of generosity and unity, South African non-profit organisation Time to Care (TTC) once again lived up to its name this winter. In May 2025, the foundation partnered with Ackermans at Boulders Shopping Mall to provide winter clothing and shoes to children from four communities — Ivory Park, Tembisa, Koolfontein, and Wendywood. Volunteers assisted children in selecting warm, comfortable outfits, and the day ended with a celebratory lunch in Midrand, bringing smiles, warmth, and lasting memories. The initiative forms part of TTC's broader mission to serve vulnerable communities across South Africa with unconditional compassion and practical support. From clothing drives to food distributions, skills development to youth empowerment, TTC's outreach has touched lives in Soweto, Durban, Cape Town, Diepkloof, and beyond.

'Our mission is to be there on time to help,' said Kublay. ''Regardless of race, religion, or background, we continue to support those in need. Seeing the smiles on people's faces motivates us to reach even more communities.' On July 18, 2025, in a powerful tribute to Nelson Mandela Day, TTC extended its compassion to the elderly at Bekkersdal Old Age Home. In collaboration with the Provincial Crime Prevention Police Department, the Health Department, and other partners, the foundation distributed 110 food hampers, blankets, beanies, and loaves of bread. The event was joined by members of Parliament, health workers, and District Commissioner General Sithole. The day included not only gift-giving but also a lively aerobics session hosted by the Health Department, aimed at promoting wellness among the elderly. Later, a programme featuring Director Kublay, General Sithole, and Station Commander General Zikalala included hymns and expressions of appreciation for the elderly, rekindling a spirit of hope and togetherness. Rami Matsila, Stakeholder in Governance Manager for District Health Services, summed up the day's meaning: 'Today we pledge care and amplify the call for humanity. We joined hands to honour Mandela's legacy and the ubuntu he stood for. This is about extending love and dignity to our elders. As winter continues, so do TTC's efforts, with ongoing blanket, hoodie, food, and meat distributions planned. In every community it touches, Time to Care is proving that even the smallest gesture of kindness can warm a heart — and a nation.

'Married by best friend': Inside Springbok Vincent Tshituka's wedding
Springbok Vincent Tshituka and his new wife Katlego Monare are sharing a look inside their wedding day, which took place over the weekend. The DRC-born rugby star and his influencer bride have been dating since 2022, when he 'slid into her DMs'. Earlier this month, Vincent made his green and gold debut against Italy at Loftus. This follows the Department of Home Affairs officially granting both him and his fellow rugby-playing brother Emmanuel Tshituka their smart ID cards. On their joint TikTok account, Vincent Tshituka and Katlego Monare – a North-West University graduate – have been sharing content about their wedding day. In one clip, the couple introduce themselves as Mr and Mrs Tshituka at their reception. Another shows Katlego putting the finishing touches on her strapless white wedding dress. The video's title was 'Took this before walking down the aisle to marry my best friend.' @vncnt_ktlg Content loading 🎥 ♬ original sound – V&K @vncnt_ktlg Took this before walking down the aisle to get married to my best friend 😍 #vinceandkatgetmarried ♬ what falling in love feels like x turning page – alex Later, Katlego changed into a champagne gown with a matching shawl.

Businesswomen to baddies: Who has Paul Mashatile dated?
South Africa's Deputy President Paul Mashatile has earned a reputation for his multi-million rand mansions and his relationships with beautiful women. Since the passing of his first wife, the 64-year-old has been linked to several women. He is now married to his second wife, Humile Mashatile. In 2020, Paul Mashatile's first wife, Manzi Ellen, died from complications after contracting COVID-19. The couple had four children, Palesa, Thabiso, Tinyiko, and Ayanda. Manzi Ellen was a hairstylist who had her own salon. Since being widowed, Paul Mashatile has been romantically linked to other women, whom he allegedly pursued at the same time. According to Sunday World, Johannesburg woman Gugu Nkosi claimed that she embarked on an extramarital affair with Mashatile from 2014. She claims the now deputy president vowed to marry her after the ANC National Conference in 2022. That same year, Nkosi accused Mashatie's adviser, Keith Khosa, of assaulting her and damaging her vehicle after she arrived at the former's house announced. Nkosi claimed she had spotted Mashatile's now-wife, Humile, on the property. Paul Mashatile also reportedly had a fraught relationship with another ex-girlfriend, Norma Mbatha, a businesswoman and ANC stalwart. According to The Star, Mashatile and Mbatha dated for 'many years'; however, the timeframe has not been made public. Mbatha was reportedly served a protection order by Khosa, who claimed Mashatile's ex had been 'harassing' him on social media. In return, Mbatha filed for a protection order against Khosa. In 2023, Paul Mashatile married Humile, the widow of ANC Western Cape secretary Songezo Mjongile, who also died in 2020. It's unclear when the couple began dating. This week, media personality and actress Nomzamo Mbatha distanced herself from allegations she was romantically linked to Paul Mashatile. This, after an X user posted screenshots of Mbatha at Mashatile's R28 million Constantia mansion, which he recently declared ownership of. The entertainer responded to the post with her own receipts – literally – of her renting the property via an Airbnb website. Ok, I would like to credit and acknowledge @Airbnb 😭 – shuthi sorry. — Nomzamo Mbatha (@NomzamoMbatha) July 29, 2025 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PAUL MASHATILE'S RELATIONSHIP HISTORY?
