Finally! Keyshia Cole's South Africa tour set for April after a series of delays
R&B star Keyshia Cole is coming to South Africa this April for her highly anticipated tour. R&B sensation Keyshia Cole's South African performance is finally happening this April after multiple postponements and rescheduling. Cole brings her highly anticipated 'Keyshia Cole: Live in South Africa' tour after she rescheduled the initial tour dates in January due to the wildfires in LA, which resulted in the singer losing her home. The 'Heaven Sent' hitmaker will be performing in Johannesburg on Saturday, April 26, at Big Top Arena. The second performance will take place at SunBet Arena in Pretoria on Sunday, April 27, while the third will be on Monday, April 28, in Cape Town at Grand Arena. It wouldn't be a full South African concert without SA's very own stars. Joining her in the upcoming tour is Elaine, popularly known for her hit song 'You're the One'. Elaine is an acclaimed singer and in 2021, she held the title of the most streamed South African R&B singer on all digital platforms. R&B DJs Akio and Nkosh will also be performing on the three-night tour with Cole, and their trailblazing performances are sure to captivate your soul. The multi-award winning singer has been long awaited as it was not the first time that she postponed the tour. In 2024, Cole was set to perform in South Africa in September. However, just a few weeks before her tour, the organisers of the event released a statement saying that the tour had been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. They also mentioned that the tour has been moved to January with new dates. However, in January, Cole's home was affected by the wild LA fires, which resulted in the tour being postponed yet again to April. Tickets for 'Keyshia Cole: Live in South Africa Tour' are available at TicketPro.

Dr Brian Monaisa confirms Minnie Dlamini split: Inside the short-lived affair
Dr Brian Monaisa confirmed his breakup with Minnie Dlamini, attributing the split to personal reasons and denying infidelity. Their romance was marked by lavish trips and public declarations, including a Valentine's Day post with a brand-new Porsche reportedly gifted by Monaisa. Trouble surfaced in late March when they deleted photos of each other, signalling the end of their high-profile relationship. After a whirlwind romance filled with glamorous travels and grand gestures, plastic surgeon Dr Brian Monaisa has officially confirmed his split from award-winning media personality Minnie Dlamini. Monaisa shared news of the split on social media on Monday, saying they called it quits on their romance under amicable terms, clearing the air around speculation of cheating. "Ms Dlamini and I had a beautiful relationship, which sadly came to an end purely for personal reasons, which had nothing to do with infidelity by either party," he said. "Whilst our romantic relationship has come to an end, there remains mutual respect between Ms Dlamini and I." The couple's journey began under uncertain timelines but became public knowledge in January when Monaisa posted loved-up snaps of them together on his Instagram stories. The newfound romance soon faced controversy as Monaisa's ex-girlfriend, Neema Aloyce, publicly accused Dlamini of wrecking her family on social media. However, days later, Aloyce retracted her allegations, saying, "Even though she (Dlamini) was part and parcel of my betrayal, I should have been able to control how I dealt with the situation." Despite the drama, Dlamini and Monaisa's bond blossomed. By February, the couple had made it Instagram official as they had documented their luxurious Zimbabwe getaway. On Valentine's Day, Dlamini affectionately referred to Monaisa as "motho waka" (my person) in a post of them together and another of her gleaming beside a brand-new Porsche, reportedly a grand gesture from the doctor. The pair's romance peaked during Monaisa's birthday celebrations in March when Dlamini pulled out all the stops with gifts, a fancy party, and another getaway – this time to Nigeria. Teasing playfully, she hinted at high expectations for her own birthday in July. After the festivities, the former couple were all smiles at the 2025 Forbes Woman Africa Awards at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, demonstrating a star couple in their prime. However, before the end of March, the cracks began to show as the pair quietly removed social media posts featuring each other from their respective social media pages, fuelling speculation. Notably, Monaisa was also absent from the screening of Channel O's (DStv 320) Club Bangers, a production by Dlamini's company Beautiful Day Productions. Amid the highs and lows, an unnamed source previously told Zimoja that their relationship began as a friendship and grew stronger once both were single. Dlamini's romantic history includes her 2017 marriage to Quinton Jones, with whom she shares a child. That marriage ended in 2022, with a denial of infidelity rumours in a joint statement.
