Johandri Johnson reflects on her 'Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad' journey
Johandri stars alongside Ansu Viljoen, Crystal van der Burgh, Louise Volschenk, and Tessa Tullues on the show
The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad star Johandri Johnson recently opened up about her experience on the Showmax reality series.
The reality show follows five Afrikaans mothers who are redefining the art of balancing parenting, power and prestige.
Starring alongside Johandri on the show are Ansu Viljoen, Crystal van der Burgh, Louise Volschenk and Tessa Tullues.
Johandri said joining the show offered not only a spotlight, but also a space for growth and introspection.
'Watching myself on TV being vulnerable and soft-hearted was very emotional and eye-opening. It forced me to face the emotions I might've brushed off in the moment, but seeing them play out made me realise the strength it took to stay true to myself,' she added.
The 33-year-old full-time mother and multi-title Bikini Fitness champion said one of the biggest takeaways has been learning to balance kindness with boundaries.
'I've learnt that not everyone deserves access to your energy or your close circle of people. You can stand up for yourself, set boundaries and still remain kind. Strength doesn't always have to be loud; it can be calm, grounded and unapologetically real.'

Johandri Johnson ready for the reunion
While the reunion date has not yet been announced, Johandri said she is looking forward to it.
She said she wants to bring clarity where it's needed.
'I want to make it very clear, I was never a pushover or an instigator for wanting to make peace between everyone in the beginning.
'I choose my battles wisely and I stand up for myself when I believe the situation deserves my energy,' she said.

Crossed Wires: Musk, Trump, Mountainhead and the epic battle for the reins of influence
The plot of the newly released film, Mountainhead, about four tech bros who have the power to move world opinion at the flick of an algorithm, feels very much like what is happening with Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Last week, a film called Mountainhead was released on HBO/Showmax. Social media has been all atwitter (sorry about the bad pun) since its release. The film is a darkly pointed satire, its four characters an amalgam of the world's most powerful tech barons. One of them, a guy called Venis, is inescapably Musk-ish, while the others are recognisable by personality and type, if not as specific people. The film's release coincided perfectly with the delicious and explosive outbreak of war last week between Elon Musk and Donald Trump and his party. Calling it 'delicious' calls into question my journalistic objectivity, I am sure, but when two of the world's most powerful and narcissistic men end up in a cage fight, it is a spectacle, and this writer is not immune to its pleasures. But they are transitory, these pleasures. There is more at stake here. Let's return to the film. Four tech bros gather in an ostentatious modernist monstrosity of a house in the mountains for a weekend of relaxation, alcohol, drugs and poker. Simultaneously, the world is aflame with violence stoked by AI-generated deepfake political videos which have been consumed by gullible populations. The four bros periodically glance at their smartphones where images of carnage and mayhem multiply in cities across the globe. They are interested, even fascinated, but they are not horrified, nor even are they disturbed. These are the little people killing each other as a result of tech that they have developed; the violence doesn't touch them in their gilded palaces and it is unimportant next to the grandeur of their visions. The plot, such as it is, springs from a falling out within the group, an attempted murder and an interpretation of friendship which ranks it significantly less important than their business transactions and desire for global dominance. Linking it to Musk's real-life outburst, there is a series of scenes in the film in which one of the characters is called by the US president and is put on hold. While he waits for the call to be put through, it becomes clear that none of the men gives a damn about what the president has to say. They have the power to move world opinion at the flick of an algorithm; their financial and human reach is incalculable. They see themselves as gods. Mere politics is the common man's delusion. This feels very much like what is now happening IRL. Musk has gone full tilt against his erstwhile supporters in Congress and the cabinet (including the president), presumably because he has calculated that he has more power to shape US opinion than the entire administration and its acolytes. The Tweet War – how it started The spat started slowly, with these two Musk tweets: 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. Shame on those who voted for [the budget]: you know you did wrong. You know it.' A short while later he ratcheted it up a notch… 'In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.' This was about as great a challenge to the GOP as one can imagine. Musk was threatening to use the full power of his bullhorn to unseat elected GOP members. Then it exploded, leaving even battle-hardened political journalists gasping. Trump, predictably, hit back with his own comments about his disappointment in Musk amid a few other choice barbs. Musk went nuclear: 'Time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That's why the FBI won't release them. Have a nice day DJT.' (This tweet has since been deleted; one wonders why.) Oof. There's no coming back from that. And it didn't stop there, as the veiled and not-so veiled threats continued on X from Musk and on Truth Social from Trump. Why did Musk start this war? There are a couple of unanswered questions here. First, what prompted Musk to start this war? There are a few possible scenarios: Like the boys in Mountainhead, perhaps he believes he has more power to shape public opinion than the entire GOP machine in Washington (or anywhere else), and he intends to use it. He is saying: the president's opinion doesn't matter as much as mine. Or, perhaps he is simply a child throwing his toys out of the cot because Steve Bannon and other GOP influencers have accused him of lying about Doge cuts and succeeded in getting him ejected from Washington. Or, he was so messed up on ketamine that he didn't know what he was doing. Or, he was furious that Trump had nixed his choice for head of Nasa, Jared Isaacman. Or, he is doing this to reclaim some respect from the Democrats, to scare up some Tesla sales and right his listing commercial ship. Perhaps he was really annoyed about being excluded from a $400-million armored EV contract by the State Department, especially after his pally relationship with the president. Or, he thinks the budget will hurt his companies, particularly Tesla which will lose its tax incentives. Or, perhaps he really does think the budget is catastrophic for the US and is just speaking his truth to power. My bet is on a combination of the first and the last scenario – he really does believe that X is the biggest weapon in history, his to wield as he sees fit, and he really does objectively hate the budget. What does Musk want? The second, more bewildering question concerns Musk's endgame. Where did he imagine this was going to lead him? Did he even think about the consequences of his tweets, particularly the threats to congressmen and what amounted to accusing the president of being a paedophile? I have tried to put myself in Musk's head (a stretch, I know), but I simply cannot see what his objective might be. Perhaps it is this: he launched an X poll last Friday asking whether it was time for a third political party, a centrist party. Presumably he wants to be its architect and founder. It has been tried many times before by big personalities in US history, most recently in the 1970s. They were all spectacular and embarrassing failures. That is not how US politics works, so good luck with that. Which leads us back to Bannon (now seemingly back in favour at the White House). In his Friday tweet he urged that Musk should be expelled as an illegal alien. Were it to happen, it would be the ultimate irony. There is one thing we can say, with reasonable certainty. Unless there is a rapprochement (unlikely, given that insults have been hurled and cannot be taken back), Musk will use X against Trump and Maga, probably all the way to the midterms in 2026. One of his whining tweets claimed that Trump would have lost to Kamala Harris without his financial and social media support, which is probably accurate given the mere 44,000 votes that separated them in the electoral college. A finely targeted X campaign could definitely influence the midterms, at least at congressional level, which could defang the president. And those who claim that no one can shake the absolute power of Trump would do well to recall that Trump's most recent favourable ratings were less than 50%, while Musk's were more than 75%. Who runs the world now, in these most chaotic of times? Governments? Or social media titans with their grandiose aspirations for humanity, like Venis in Mountainhead? We are about to find out.

Forget Xhosa, Jesse Kriel shows off impressive Japanese!
Jesse Kriel is known for being a perfectionist when it comes to many aspects of his life; fitness, his figure, and his performance on the pitch. Which is why a clip of him mastering the language of Japanese comes as no surprise to anyone. The Springbok star plays for the Canon Eagles in Yokohama, Japan. In a clip posted on TikTok, Jesse Kriel and fellow Springbok Faf de Klerk were interviewed by a Japanese rugby commentator. Like Jesse, Faf lives and plays in the country for the Canon Eagles. But while Faf appeared to botch the language, Jesse spoke it fluently! In fact, the centreback conversed at length with his Japanese pal. Take a look… @lekkeryudo I'll definitely come back to South Africa!!! Wag asseblief 😉 #southafrica #suidafrica #afrikaans #jessekriel #japanese #neh #letslearnjapanese #faf #springboks #rugby ♬ original sound – lekkeryudo🇯🇵 Last year, Jesse Kriel won the hearts of many South Africans after a clip of him speaking Xhosa went viral. In a clip posted on social media by SuperSport, Jess was interviewed by Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick on their team's 2024 season. Speaking Xhosa, Mzwandile asked Jesse how he felt about winning 11 out of 13 games. The athletic player – known for his chiselled physique – responded: 'Ndicel' i13 out of 13 [I wanted 13 out of 13].' He added in English: 'We dropped the ball, and we're very disappointed. It's small margins. Next season, we want to push to go even better'. He added, thanking Mzwandile for his hard work, 'Ngiyabonga Mqeqeshi [thank you, boss].'

SA Literary Awards extend submission date, calls for more submissions in indigenous languages
The extension is to give authors and nominators who may not have been aware or failed to beat the first deadline another chance to submit. Despite a fair rate of submissions from English and Afrikaans literature, the South African Literary Awards (Sala) have extended the submission date, encouraging work in indigenous languages to be submitted. 'It has been our experience in the past years that we attract small numbers of work written in indigenous languages than in Afrikaans and English,' Sala executive director, Morakabe Raks Seakhoa tells The Citizen. The original submission date was 8 May, and authors have been given until 9 June to submit their works so they can be recognised for this year's edition of the awards. Seakhoa says the extension is to give authors and nominators who may not have been aware or failed to beat the first deadline another chance to submit. Founded by the wRite associates, in partnership with the then national Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) in 2005, the main aim of Sala is to pay tribute to South African writers who have distinguished themselves as groundbreaking producers and creators of literature. Sala celebrates literary excellence in the depiction and sharing of South Africa's histories, value systems, and philosophies, as well as art inscribed and preserved in all the languages of South Africa, particularly the official languages. ALSO READ: South African literature celebrated at 19th Literary Awards Indigenous work Seakhoa says there may be various reasons why authors of indigenous works haven't submitted their work for consideration at this year's awards. 'The reasons may be many,' he says as he shares some insight. 'Inadequate resourcing of writing in these languages; the misguided notion among some writers that their work stands a better chance of reaching wider markets,' shares the Executive Director. This year marks 20 years of Sala. 'We are planning a special occasion for Sala when [it] celebrates 20 years, as that'll be marking a coming of age for this prestigious Awards scheme. For this year, considerations are being entertained, including increasing the number of Lifetime Achievement Literary Award category celebrants.' The ceremony is expected to be held in November this year. ALSO READ: A spy's story – David Africa's book 'Lives On The Line' thrills Sala's 20-year journey When the literary awards were established, there was only one award, the South African National Poet Laureate Prize. Sala now has 16 categories, which range from the Children's Literature Award to the Nadine Gordimer Short Story Award. According to Seakhoa, some of the most hotly contested categories are the Regional and National Poets Laureate Prize, followed by the Novel, First-time Published Author and Creative Non-Fiction Literary categories. 'There have been a number of calls to include, expand, realign, reconfigure and rename other categories, so these will certainly be considered for the coming years, as well as working very hard to attract more financial support to increase awardees' cash prizes,' shares Seakhoa. The cash prizes for all categories are R30 000, except for the National and Regional Poets Laureate, who receive R100 000 and R50 000 respectively. Last year's Sala coincided with the 12th Africa Century International African Writers Conference, which celebrates the 33rd International African Writers' Day and 30 years of South Africa's democracy. In 1991, the Conference of African Ministers of Education and Culture in Cotonou, Benin, voted to designate November 7th as International African Writers' Day, which is currently observed across the continent.
