'The headline was misleading': Dr Lusanda Mcinga not bedridden
The news made rounds after reports made it known that she was having some excruciating pain in her back and around her waist, leaving her bedridden.
However, her manager, Sinalo Mcinga, confirmed that she is not in good health but is not bedridden, as alleged.
Speaking to the media, Sinalo said, 'The headline was misleading, and it is not true that Dr Lusanda Mcinga is bedridden. Yes, I can confirm that she is suffering from back and waist pain, and she can't stand for long periods of time.'
However, Dr Lusanda Mcinga's manager revealed that she is open for bookings and is scheduled to perform later this month in East London.
Despite the excruciating pain, the singer can still take gigs and travel to them. She has it that her voice is not affected by the sickness.
However, her management confirmed that she can still perform but can't stand for long periods.
'Even though bookings are not as frequent as before, she is still available and continues to take bookings.
'The only difference is that she now performs while seated. I can also confirm that she is scheduled to perform in East London this coming Monday, the 28th of April.'
Mcinga is not looking for donations from fans and well-wishers. Surprisingly, this is because she was trolled and ignored in 2022 when she asked for donations.
The singer was once down and out during the COVID-19 lockdown. Like a host of entertainers, she could not perform due to the strict guidelines, which affected her income.
She had also lost her flashiest cars after the bank repossessed them.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs demands R1.76 billion in defamation lawsuit
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has doubled his lawsuit claim to a staggering R1.76 billion against Courtney Burgess, attorney Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation's parent company, Nexstar. This comes after statements aired on US television accused Combs of filming sex acts with underage people and celebrities, sparking a global media firestorm. SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS' LAWSUIT Sean Combs, embroiled in several legal controversies, amended his court filing this week in New York, according to The Hollywood Reporter. ADVERTISEMENT The complaint reads, 'In this pitiful spectacle, they have abandoned all pretence of objectivity. This is while a global audience feasts at the all-you-can-eat buffet of wild lies and conspiracy theories.' His lawyers say the interviews on NewsNation led to 'severe reputational harm' and a 'media frenzy' built on Burgess's 'outlandish claims.' At the heart of the allegations: Burgess claims to have video footage showing Sean 'Diddy' Combs sexually assaulting celebrities. 'Yes, yes, definitely,' Burgess insisted when pressed on NewsNation's airwaves if those images were genuine. He also alleged that 'two or three' of the eight pictured celebrities appeared to be minors. The interviews included the claim that Combs' late ex-wife, Kim Porter, gave Burgess tapes of the supposed events and a memoir shortly before her death. ADVERTISEMENT These details fuelled further gossip about Combs' notorious 'freak-off' parties. Prosecutors depicted as wild, drug-fuelled orgies filmed for Combs' gratification. SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS FIGHTING FOR RELEASE NewsNation and Nexstar are accused in the lawsuit of 'lending credibility' to the accusations. They also 'gave them a mainstream media platform to malign' Combs and profit from the chaos. Sean 'Diddy' Combs' team brands Mitchell and Burgess as 'among the worst perpetrators in this offensive scenario,' doubling down that they have no evidence for their claims. Since being found guilty on lesser related charges, Combs' lawyers are fighting for his release. They are even exploring a presidential pardon from the Trump administration. South Africans watching this saga unfold will recognise echoes of high-profile media trials seen globally in recent years. For now, Combs is demanding his day in court and R1.76 billion to restore his name. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO PRESUME INNOCENCE UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN HIGH-PROFILE CASES?

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the screen after eight years
Daniel Day-Lewis has ended his eight-year retirement with a powerful return in the film Anemone . The film will premiere at the New York Film Festival from 26 September to 13 October. This marks the acclaimed actor's first onscreen role since 2017's Phantom Thread . The film is not just a comeback for Day-Lewis but also the feature directorial debut of his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. Ronana co-wrote the script alongside his father. Anemone is described as a gripping family drama set in Northern England. It explores the tense and complex relationships among brothers, fathers, and sons, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film focuses on the legacies of political and personal violence that continue to affect the characters. The story follows a middle-aged man, played by Sean Bean. Bean's character, who leaves his suburban home to enter the woods and reconnect with his estranged hermit brother, is played by Day-Lewis. Their relationship is both strained and tender, shaped by traumatic events from their past in Anemone. Anemone boasts strong supporting performances, including Samantha Morton and Samuel Bottomley. It also employs widescreen cinematography by Ben Fordesman that adds a striking visual element. The emotional depth and detailed storytelling aim to chart a path toward familial redemption despite overwhelming challenges. Before this release, Daniel Day-Lewis had publicly announced his permanent retirement from acting, expressing a need to believe in the value of his work. He said, 'The work can seem vital. Irresistible, even. And if an audience believes it, that should be good enough for me. But, lately, it isn't.' His return to a project so closely tied to family highlights the significance of this film to him personally. Day-Lewis's reappearance on screen and the father-son collaboration make Anemone a must-watch for cinephiles. As he put it, this film carries the weight of responsibility and personal meaning, promising a deeply emotional viewing experience for audiences worldwide.
