MacG apologises to Minnie Dlamini
Podcaster Macgyver 'MacG' Mukwevho has apologised for his remarks about media personality Minnie Dlamini.
This comes after last month's Podcast and Chill episode, during which MacG made distasteful comments about Minnie's private parts while he and his co-hosts, Sol Phenduka, discussed her recent breakup with Dr Brian Monaisa.
'Bro, I'm telling you, man. There's got to be something wrong with her; maybe her coochie smells or something. You know this happens, man, it happens, especially with the hot girls,' MacG said.
The remarks sparked outrage, with fans, activist groups and even some political figures criticising the podcaster.

MacG: 'We never say things to offend people'
In a Monday episode of Podcast and Chill this week, MacG apologised, saying he never intended to offend anyone.
'I want to apologise, first and foremost, to all the female chillers, and women in general in SA, I might have offended with that comment. That was not the intention. We never say things to offend people,' he said.
The podcaster also invited Minnie to his show, adding that they both have said things about each other.
'I want to extend an invite to Minnie Dlamini to the show. You are more than welcome to come.
'This thing started on the podcast—let's end it on the podcast. She said some things, I said some things. Let's squash it once and for all.'

L-Tido inks major deal with DStv with podcast set to air on Mzansi Wethu
Rapper-turned-podcaster L-Tido is taking his hit show to the next level after signing a deal with DStv. The L-Tido Podcast, which launched nearly three years ago, has grown into one of the country's most popular digital platforms — and now it's coming to television. The show will begin airing on Mzansi Wethu (DStv channel 163) from Thursday at 9:30pm, with new episodes scheduled to be broadcast on weekdays. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Tido shared the exciting news with his followers: ' The #LTidoPodcast just signed a deal with @dstvza. We go live this Thursday, 9:30pm on Mzansi Wethu.' Since its inception, The L-Tido Podcast has hosted a range of high-profile South African entertainers, including Cassper Nyovest and Scotts Maphuma. From raw conversations about their personal lives to the politics of fame — including why some stars refuse to have pictures taken with fans — the podcast has gained a reputation for delivering honest and engaging content. Boasting more than 167,000 YouTube subscribers and close to 15-million views, L-Tido's latest move marks a significant milestone, expanding his audience beyond online platforms. The announcement also comes amid whispers of competition and controversy in the local podcasting scene. Earlier this year, Podcast and Chill with MacG lost its DStv deal after backlash over comments about Minnie Dlamini. The tension between L-Tido and MacG has sparked speculation among fans, with some accusing Tido of stepping into MacG's lane. But for Tido, this seems more like a strategic evolution than rivalry. As he carves out a new chapter in broadcast media, his focus appears to be on growth, storytelling and bringing local voices to the mainstream.

Kelly Khumalo's tight concert security raises eyebrows amid allegations by former Meyiwa trial advocate
Amid ongoing allegations in the Senzo Meyiwa case, Kelly Khumalo's heightened security at Dundee July raises eyebrows and concerns among fans. Image: Instagram Singer Kelly Khumalo's security beef-up leaves netizens wondering what's happening. The songstress was recently seen performing at the Dundee July event in KwaZulu-Natal, where her bodyguard was keeping a close eye on her. Khumalo has never shied away from controversy, including her connection to the unclear death of former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, and her self-proclaimed role as a healer. Recently, the songstress, known for her powerful vocals and captivating stage presence, was seen performing one of her gospel hits, 'Esphambanweni', with a male figure dressed in all black keeping a close eye on her. An unseen attendee threw a can of alcohol at her while she was performing, and her bodyguard reacted swiftly by kicking the can off stage before Khumalo could step on it. While some fans assumed the added security measure was due to concerns about her safety after new claims made by Advocate Malesela Teffo, a former trial defence advocate for the Meyiwa murder case. Khumalo's history with controversy, including her connection to the tragic death of former Meyiwa, has kept her in the limelight for quite some years. This incident has also had a lasting impact on her career. The circumstances surrounding Meyiwa's death, which occurred at Khumalo's Vosloorus home with the singer present, led to widespread speculation and many people questioning her involvement. Additionally, the security beef-up comes after Teffo went on a podcast tour to reveal some eyebrow-raising details about Khumalo's involvement in Meyiwa's death. He was recently a guest on Mac G's Podcast and Chill show, as well as the Moya podcast, where he touched on her alleged involvement in the murder. Teffo made shocking claims about Khumalo on the Podcast and Chill show, alleging that the singer shot and killed Meyiwa, with whom she also shares a child. Meyiwa was murdered at Khumalo's home in 2014, in an incident initially thought to be a botched robbery. However, Teffo disputed this narrative during a podcast interview. 'If they say it was a robbery gone wrong, how can that be when the people coming to rob you have an intention? If they shoot, you can't say it was culpable homicide. If they shoot to kill, the result can't be culpable murder; it would be murder,' he said. Khumalo has been linked to Meyiwa's murder case multiple times, and Advocate Teffo's recent allegations on Podcast and Chill have reignited speculation around her involvement. Since then, she has come out to defend herself multiple times, debunking the allegations as baseless. The singer came out once again to address Tefo in response to all the claims he made about her during his podcast tour revelations. Khumalo posted a video on Instagram, citing that she's not intimidated by anyone and challenged those who think she's guilty to take action against her or 'back off'. The singer captioned the video: 'From being dragged in that dirty court to sketchy podcasts? You never cease to amaze me. It's quite simple, though. If you strongly believe that I am capable of what you are accusing me of, come and get me and stop playing games! Till then, back off.'
