Jada McGowan's 'Generations: The Legacy' debut: critics say 'action' but she delivers 'meh'

South African actress, Jada McGowan recently faced backlash after making her TV debut on Mzansi's popular soapie 'Generations: The Legacy'.

In the video, McGowan appears to be shocked after seeing that her R17 000 camera has suddenly disappeared after she put it on a shelf. The young actress, however, failed to convince netizens with her acting skills, and many have mocked her online. @ wrote: 'Ke acting nthwe? (Is this acting?)' 'Mind you, this is my first impression of Generations this year,' @corry said. While @prettykhanyi_ added: 'Aowa (No) this can't be acting.' McGowan, however, isn't fazed by the online criticism after she shared a video on TikTok as she celebrated her TV debut with her loved ones. She captioned her post: 'From prayer to screen - my debut on 'Generations The Legacy'. All glory to God for opening this door for me. I'm just getting started!' In the comment section, McGowan replied to several online users who asked her multiple questions about what people are saying and how she got the role. One user asked her if she saw the comments on the official TikTok account of the soapie in which the actress replied: 'Yes chomi, I did, but I'm not bothered.' Another user commented that they wish her all the best and that she should not listen to the internet trolls. McGowan replied: 'Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it. I promise I could never fold, I'm way too strong for the trolls.' This is not the first time that 'Generations: The Legacy' faced backlash for its actors, with fans claiming that some of them cannot act.

Tyla's chart-topping hits 'Jump' and 'Push 2 Start' earn Gold certification in the US

Tyla has achieved Gold certification in the US for her hit singles 'Jump' and 'Push 2 Start.' Image: X Tyla's international success continues to soar! The South African songstress has once again made waves in the American music scene. Her chart-topping hits 'Jump' (with Gunna and Skillibeng) and 'Push 2 Start' have officially achieved the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Gold certification in the US. According to RIAA, the two singles from Tyla's self-titled debut album were certified gold on July 29, 2025, after surpassing 500 000 units in sales and streaming equivalents in the US. The new certifications mark the 23-year-old singer's third song to reach Gold status in the US. Her breakout hit 'Water' is currently 3x Platinum in the country, while 'Truth or Dare' is gold. It also became the very first Gold certification for Jamaican DJ and rapper Skillibeng. He was featured on the song and added his dancehall flair to the hit. 'Push 2 Start' first appeared as an additional song on the deluxe version of Tyla's self-titled album 'Tyla +'. It has been a standout hit, soaring up the charts and becoming a fan favourite. The song's popularity also skyrocketed after the release of its music video, which currently has 102 million views, and with the release of a remix featuring dancehall legend Sean Paul. It achieved platinum status in Brazil and New Zealand. It was also certified gold in Canada and Greece then silver in the United Kingdom. The collaboration brought together Tyla's signature sound with Sean Paul's nostalgic vibe, which is perfectly in line with Tyla's aesthetic. It further cemented 'Push 2 Start' as a chart-topper. 'Jump', another significant success for Tyla, reached No 3 on the Billboard Afrobeats Songs chart and No 42 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Furthermore, it spent several weeks in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 38. Earlier this year, both songs were featured on Spotify's Global Impact List, where Tyla was leading the pack with 12 songs on the South African edition. The list showcased the top artists making waves outside of Mzansi, solidifying the global reach of local artists and their music. The talented singer-songwriter dominated the list with an impressive 12 songs in the top 25. From collaborations to solo work, her unique 'popiano' sound struck a chord with listeners around the world. Most of her songs from her debut self-titled album made it to the list, and 'Jump', along with 'Push 2 Start', were among the songs mentioned. The RIAA awards a Gold record for sales of 500 000 units (records, tapes, and compact discs). Platinum status is granted for sales exceeding one million units, while Diamond status is reserved for 10 million or more albums or singles sold.

Reality TV star Wandi Ndlovu to appear in court this week after uncle's stabbing

Wandi Ndlovu, a reality TV star, and her mother and sister have been arrested after a violent altercation that led to her uncle's death in Katlehong. Reality TV star Wandi Ndlovu is set to appear in court this week after an incident involving her uncle's stabbing in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni, along with other family members. The self-described sugar baby and personality on Showmax's controversial show This Body Works for Me is drawing public attention with the case. The 26-year-old, her mother, and her sister, Ntombifuthi Ndlovu, are being held behind bars following an alleged violent family altercation in Katlehong. This altercation left her uncle, Linda Ndlovu, dead. The trio is expected to make a court appearance tomorrow at Palm Ridge Court as investigations continue. This week, South Africans will learn more about Ndlovu's uncle's stabbing. Wandi Ndlovu to appear in court after uncle's stabbing The incident took place in the early hours of last month.

He was reportedly playing loud music when his sister (Wandi's mom) went to ask him to lower the volume. An argument broke out, and Linda allegedly struck his sister on the head with a golf club. Bleeding and injured, she returned to the main house. That's allegedly when Wandi, her sister Ntombifuthi, and another sister, who is currently in Grade 11 allegedly went to confront their uncle. 'One of them stabbed the uncle during the confrontation,' said a family insider. When paramedics arrived, it was too late to take him to the hospital. The Grade 11 sibling, who is a minor, has since been released from custody.

This is especially after a voice recording surfaced online, allegedly of Wandi's aunt (her mother's sister), who was an eyewitness to the entire incident. The late uncle Linda is believed to have been the breadwinner. Wandi relocated and is mostly based in Nigeria and claimed she got married. He was living in the back room and was said to be providing financial support to some members of the family. The house was reportedly newly built by Wandi after her return from Nigeria. She was working as an adult entertainer and had recently BBL surgery and other changes. While South Africans await official police comment, many have taken to social media. They express anger, disbelief, and sorrow over the killing.
