Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ After his exit in season two, he continued to entertain viewers in a string of popular productions, including 'Red Ink', 'Heart of the Hunter', 'The Woman King', 'The Drop', and Netflix's 'Marked", which is currently making waves around the globe. But Khoza's latest role promises to capture the public's imagination even further. Come September 7, Khoza will showcase his versatility in the much-anticipated crime drama "Levels", premiering on Mzansi Magic. Produced and written by Busisiwe Ntintili of The Ntintili Factory, the series will take viewers on a thrilling journey of ambition, power and the consequences that follow in the wake of a monumental heist. "Levels" delves into that tantalising fantasy, all sparked by the disappearance of R1 billion in foreign currency during a daring robbery at a private airport. In the wake of this chaos, Crime Intelligence mobilises high-ranking detective Bongi Nkosi, played by Lunathi Mpofu ("Fatal Seduction", "Disaster Holiday"), to lead the investigation. However, things take a complicated turn when they send a rising star from head office, detective Stephen Vilakazi (Khoza), to assist her. "When detective Vilakazi starts connecting the dots, Bongi's professional and personal life begin to unravel. She is not only dealing with a partner who's watching her every move, but she also has a past that won't stay buried and a growing attraction that could wreck everything. "As the team closes in on suspects, the truth gets harder to hide and even harder to survive," read a statement from the channel. "Mzansi Magic is always committed to bold, local storytelling that reflects the complexities of our society. 'Levels' is a fresh take on crime, power and ambition, all wrapped in a gripping storyline that will keep viewers coming back for more,' said Shirley Adonisi, director of Local Entertainment Channels, M-Net. Viewers are in store for a mix of crime, romance, and unexpected betrayals surrounding a life-altering billion-rand heist. The cast also includes Melusi Mbhele, Sikelelwa Vuyelani, and Unathi Mkhize. • "Levels" is set to air on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) on September 7 at 7.30pm.

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.
