Gagasi FM breaks silence on calls for Minnie Ntuli's axing after 'violent TV spat
A heated confrontation between Gagasi FM radio presenter Minenhle 'Minnie' Ntuli and reality show star Londie London has escalated into a public outcry, sparking a petition for her removal from both radio and television. The conflict was filmed during an episode of The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD), with London threatening to open a criminal case against her co-star and viewers calling for accountability. The fiery exchange between the two was sparked by Ntuli shouting disparaging remarks at London and aggressively poking her in the forehead. It started with Ntuli throwing down a scatter cushion and confronting London, accusing her of disrespecting Ntuli's parents and calling her a 'mean girl'. London responded calmly, accusing Ntuli of being 'horrible' and a bully as Ntuli jabbed her in the forehead. On Friday, Gagasi FM said in a statement Ntuli had taken 'full accountability' for her actions. The station affirmed it was against bullying and aggression. It said Ntuli was sorry and had written an apology to the cast and crew of RHOD and this would be shared in an upcoming reunion special. Gagasi FM said Ntuli was committed to getting professional help to manage her emotions, and the station was supportive of this. 'Our focus is on promoting reconciliation. Both Minnie and the other cast member are professionals in the media industry, and it is likely they will work together again in future. As a station, we are committed to supporting a process that encourages healing, forgiveness and mutual respect,' the station said. The cause of the animosity between the two is unclear, but throughout season five of RHOD they have bumped heads in apparent one-sided rivalry fuelled by Ntuli towards London in a situation that has become increasingly concerning to viewers. 'I thought I will find the word 'FIRED' in this letter,' commented one reader in response to the release. Her view is shared by other commentators who condemned Ntuli for perpetuating toxic culture on reality TV, as well as another concerned viewer who launched an online petition on to have Ntuli removed both from RHOD and her co-presenter position on the radio station's early morning show The Rising because of her 'violent' behaviour. 'We urge the producers of RHOD to remove Minnie Ntuli from the show to signal that violence will not be tolerated. Additionally, Gagasi FM must review and address the conduct of their employee to maintain integrity and trust with their audience and sponsors,' states the petition that has racked up close to 20,000 verified signatures.

Kerry town set to celebrate American links this weekend
Earlier on the day, at 5pm, an 18-strong visiting choir from the Church of St Alphonsus and St Patrick, in the Archdiocese of Chicago, will perform on the steps of St Mary's Church of Ireland while, throughout the afternoon, there will be free fun activities for children on the streets of Killarney, including face painting, balloon art and cartoon characters joined by the famous man on stilts. The distinctive beat of the drum will sound on College Square with a family friendly interactive drum experience that evening with a bumper street celebration scheduled to get underway at 7pm with a spectacular street show for what promises to be a wonderful eve of Ring of Kerry Cycle party as Killarney welcomes thousands of charity champions to town. And to end the night on a high note, favourite local trad band The Rising, will perform on the Main Street stage to get everybody dancing and singing along and that will be the perfect warm-up for the big Nathan Carter Summer Spectacular concert – with special guests – at the Gleneagle INEC Arena. With the 100-year celebration of the opening of Killarney National Park – gifted to Killarney by the Bourn-Vincent and McShain families – scheduled for 2032, Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce initiated a programme in 2023 to acknowledge that landmark occasion and to celebrate past and present links and this summertime celebration will certainly achieve that. At 5pm on Friday the life and times of the great John McShain will be told in word, poetry, music and song. The free admission top class production, scripted by schoolteacher Noel P O'Sullivan and produced and narrated by performing arts school professional Fiona Crowley, will chart the life and times of the McShain family, their time in Killarney and their incredible legacy in the town. 'Killarney will always be extremely grateful to the McShain family, not only for the gift of Killarney House and Gardens but for the donation of Inisfallen Island, Ross Castle and 8,000 acres of parkland, mountains and lake, which John and Mary McShain presented to the town,' Noel P said. 'The old saying 'History will tell you what happened but a song will tell you how it felt' captures the essence of this production, which will bring the McShain story to life through a moving and powerful synergy of the arts,' he added.

Bruce Springsteen is releasing his 'Lost Albums': The songs you haven't heard but need to
There are musicians, and there is Bruce Springsteen. There are songwriters, and there is Bruce Springsteen. There are singers, and yes, you get the point. But there are also box sets, and there is 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums,' seven genre-specific collections that span 1983-2018, a period that witnessed the arrival of 'Born in the U.S.A.,' 'The Ghost of Tom Joad,' 'The Rising,' 'Wrecking Ball' and eight other chameleonic Springsteen releases. The set arrives June 27 in several forms – nine LPs, seven CDs and digital as well as a 20-song highlight version ('Lost and Found: Selections from The Lost Albums') on two LPs and one CD. That an artist crafted 83 songs of divergent styles – garage rock, country, Mexican ranchera and lush pop – as his leftovers illuminates Springsteen's musical brilliances as well as the epic scope of this set. And let's not forget this is the sequel. In 1998, Springsteen unloaded the 66-song 'Tracks' box set. But where that assembly corralled many demos and alternate versions of Springsteen favorites, 'Tracks II' presents completed masterworks that probe Springsteen's hallmark topics of redemption and romance while continuing down the path of enlightenment. Here's a look at the seven additions to the Springsteen catalog. 'LA Garage Sessions '83' Springsteen calls these 18 tracks 'a critical bridge between 'Nebraska' and 'Born in the U.S.A.,'' and of the magnificent seven 'lost' albums, only this collection contains several songs previously heard as B-sides ('Johnny Bye-Bye' as the flip side to 'I'm On Fire,' 'Shut Out the Light' backing 'Born in the U.S.A.') or on anthologies ('County Fair' landed on 2003's 'The Essential Bruce Springsteen'). In the early '80s, the King of New Jersey holed up in a small house in the Hollywood Hills. It was shortly after his timeless 'Nebraska' arrived and he was keen to expand his sound yet unsure if he'd wrangle the E Street Band for a rock album (spoiler: he did, in 1984). The lo-fi recordings include an eventual hit from 'Born in the U.S.A.,' a thinner version of its final track, 'My Hometown.' Springsteen's voice is a combination of Tom Petty lilt and Tom Waits grit on the original form of the ballad, one of many vocal styles he samples on the album. Springsteen is also transparent in his influences, saluting Buddy Holly with the quick bop, 'Little Girl Like You' and nodding to Elvis Presley on 'Follow That Dream.' It's a musically scattered collection, but foreshadows the genre-hopping Springsteen would soon explore. Standout track: 'Don't Back Down on Our Love' – Borrowing a guitar tone from The Beach Boys and filling the song with a charmingly repetitive chorus, this is both a throwback and evidence of Springsteen striding forward. He eagerly tinkers with soul, pop and rock while encouraging strength amid struggles. 'Streets of Philadelphia Sessions' Recorded during the same period as his Oscar and Grammy-winning title track from 1993's Tom Hanks-fronted 'Philadelphia' movie, the album that fans affectionately call Springsteen's 'loops record' is a sonic time capsule. The shuffling electronic beat under 'Between Heaven and Earth' is similar to Soul II Soul's 'Keep On Movin'' and PM Dawn's 'Set Adrift on Memory Bliss,' hits in the late-'80s and early '90s timeframe Springsteen has referenced as his influence for the record. Springsteen completed these 10 songs for a 1995 release. But instead of dropping new music, he shelved the album and reunited with the E Street Band for the first time in seven years. The only previously released song is the enigmatic 'Secret Garden,' which hasn't lost the seductive luster provided by Springsteen's murmured lyrics coated in innuendo. Originally released on his 1995 'Greatest Hits' album, the ballad didn't hopscotch up the charts until two years later, when it was included on the 'Jerry Maguire' soundtrack and peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains Springsteen's last U.S. Top 40 hit to date. Standout track: 'Waiting on the End of the World' – Awash in keyboards and a chugging backbeat, the midtempo song offers a trademark lyric ('We hide from the truth in our hearts'), a singsong guitar solo and a dreamy outro that dissolves like a jet's vapor trail. 'Faithless' Written for a film that has yet to be made, 'Faithless' has smatterings of family influence. Springsteen says he penned the 11 songs during two weeks in Florida when he and his brood were there to watch daughter Jessica, an Olympic equestrian, on a trip related to her vocation. When it came time to record, wife Patti Scialfa (whose voice appears on several tracks) and their sons Evan and Sam offered a choir of background vocals on 'Where You Goin', Where You From?' The musical shading of the album is influenced by the recording window – between the 2005 Devils & Dust tour and the release of 'We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions' in April 2006 – that found Springsteen in an acoustic and spiritual state of mind. Those emotional generators are apparent on the title track, a minimal hymn of salvation wrapped in Springsteen's quivering voice. He's much bolder on 'All God's Children,' his foot stomping and his voice ragged as he morphs into preacher mode through lyrics such as 'I scratched me a grave with my own hands/and you can bury me deep in the blood of the land' and a chorus of 'Glory, hallelujah.' But it's the closing 'My Master's Hand (Theme),'' a purposeful march on which Springsteen handles nearly every instrument, including the shuffling snare drum, organ and harmonica, that sounds primed for the end credits of a film that might still hatch. Standout track: 'God Sent You' – It's easy to glean from the title that the potent ballad will be rooted in the idea of, as Barbra Streisand tells us, people who need people. Organ chords provide a gospel tinge, but piano drives the song as Springsteen dispenses his gratitude for a savior as he sings, 'God sent you to me/a prayer of safety and salvation/God sent you to me/when faith was so hard to see.' 'Somewhere North of Nashville' Springsteen's 1995 album, 'The Ghost of Tom Joad,' spotlighted his folk instincts, sometimes to dreary effect. But Springsteen wasn't spending all of his time ruminating. This barnburner recorded at the same time as 'Joad' confirms that he saved plenty of energy to tear through 12 songs with the band live in the studio. The result is Springsteen unleashed. He's joined by E-Streeters Danny Federici (who died in 2008), Garry Tallent and Soozie Tyrell, as well as drummer Gary Mallaber and pedal steel ace Marty Rifkin as they embark on a jaunty tour of country, honky tonk and rockabilly. Springsteen's voice veers from sandpapery growl ('Repo Man,' 'Detail Man') to silky twang ('Poor Side of Town,' 'Silver Mountain'), while the music audaciously mashes pedal steel guitar, boogie woogie piano, harmonica and string orchestrations as seamlessly as if that collective sound is routine. Standout track: 'Repo Man' – The first song on the album bursts with natural electricity. Springsteen's wink-and-smile delivery of amusing lyrics ('A repo man lives by a code/you don't pay and I own your little piece of the road'), Rifkin's skilled dance on pedal steel guitar and a final, fluttering cymbal crash collide for one hell of a boot-stompin' party. 'Inyo' During the 1990s, Springsteen headed west of his beloved New Jersey and spent time driving his motorcycle throughout the Southwest and California. He took long drives along the California aqueduct through Inyo County and into Death Valley and writes strikingly about the immigrant experience, particularly the generational erosion of shared culture between Mexico and the U.S. The 10 vivid recollections on the album, which Springsteen calls one of his favorites, shudder with sadness. Many of the songs feature only Springsteen with Soozie Tyrell's weeping violin or light instrumentation from coproducer Ron Aniello on bass, guitar and drums. Springsteen also turned to the roots of his album, notably on 'Adelita,' which features mariachi musicians to complement his rich storytelling talent. 'Your portrait I carry deep in my breast pocket/my rifle firing into the campaña/I ride with you 'round my heart/protected from this death by beauty,' he sings. Standout track: 'The Lost Charro' – Springsteen isn't celebrated for having a particularly pretty voice. Rugged character is more his thing. But he locates a rarely heard upper register here as he takes on the persona of a proud former 'charro' (cowboy) who misses his past while picking fruit in fields in his current life. The full chorus of mariachi band members at the end completes this tale of a spiritual dreamer. 'Twilight Hours' Springsteen says he saved these dozen songs recorded during his 'Western Stars' era because they were 'intentionally middle of the road.' It might sound like a slight, but what Springsteen crafted is an album that pulls from '70's California pop and the melodic songwriting of Burt Bacharach and Jimmy Webb. Songs such as 'I'll Stand By You' and 'Dinner at Eight' were born with a softer touch, nudged along by a sumptuous assembly of strings, piano and polished choruses. This is the closest we've heard Springsteen to pure pop music – the kind with complex elements that sound effortless in the hands of a pro – and it's a suit that fits him well. Standout track: 'Two of Us' – A sweet love song spiked with strings, a gently plucked Glockenspiel and glorious key changes. It's Springsteen at his most Bacharach-ian, winding through a swoony melody as he stretches his voice to sing, 'Through one more mile, one more town/there's one heart, I can trust/so we'll keep moving for the two of us.' 'Perfect World' The opening swing of piano and guitar on first track 'I'm Not Sleeping' is a signal that these 10 songs will embody the E Street Band style not heard as palpably on the other albums. It's a mostly fair indicator. 'Idiot's Delight' clip-clops through rowdy harmonica that suits the song's bitter lyrics ('The jackals leave here laughing as they slip into the night/how did something so beautiful turn into an idiot's delight') and a towering chorus and gritty guitar power 'Another Thin Line' into familiar E Street territory (and yes, that is cowbell you hear). There are several stylistic shifts throughout the release that Springsteen says is the only one of the 'lost' seven that wasn't conceived as an album. That is evident in the title track that returns him to piano-backed twang, balanced by the soulful pop singalong, 'You Lifted Me Up.' And hello, Steven Van Zandt on background vocals, whose appearance aptly encapsulates the album's intent. Standout track: 'Rain in the River' – Squealing guitar notes lead the song into one of Springsteen's most muscular vocals. Recorded around the same time as 'Western Stars' (2010-11), the swelling anthem is all Springsteen, with an assist from Ron Aniello on organ and drums, but sounds like the work of 100 men.

'The Boss' Is Out of Touch With His Neighbors, Factory Workers
A letter to Bruce Springsteen from a fan: Dear Bruce, I've been a fan for as long as I can remember. From "Born to Run" to "The Rising," from your orchestral country masterpiece "Western Stars," to your 2020 gem "Letter to You," always you're moving us. Always you're surprising us. With a catalogue of songs shot through with self-doubt and hope, loss and love. Songs populated with characters we know and care about. Crammed with snippets of our lives and yours, radiating with your Catholic impulse toward God's mercy. I've seen you in concert more times than I'd care to admit (over 50). There's always something for everyone in your 3-plus-hour sets: You bring out the horn section and background singers for R&B numbers, break things down country-style with acoustic and steel guitars, then come the gospel-influenced numbers that make the show feel like a revival. With the sets always anchored by rock and roll. And those moments where it's you alone with an acoustic guitar and harmonica, unplugged before MTV "invented" it. It's a celebration of American music, your concerts: an invitation for music lovers to gather under one roof and forget our differences. And always, your set lists surprise us. Each night, they're different—keeping the show fresh for us. And for you and the E-Street Band, too. Bruce Springsteen performs during the first night of "The Land of Hopes and Dreams" tour at Co-op Live on May 14, 2025, in Manchester, England. Bruce Springsteen performs during the first night of "The Land of Hopes and Dreams" tour at Co-op Live on May 14, 2025, in Manchester, England. Photo byWhich is why, for the last 45 years, it has been so disappointing to watch you descend to rank partisan politics on and off the stage. Not because you don't have a right to voice your opinions, but because what you say every election cycle is so predictable. And—dare I say—so boring. And predictable and boring are words I never associated with you. Your political musings, for as long as you've been talking politics, have been reductionistic and repetitive: if Republicans win the White House, the poor will get poorer, the hungry will grow hungrier and the America we love will somehow vanish. It began with oblique on-stage ramblings about President Reagan and the era of greed in the 1980s. Since 2004, you've never failed to endorse a Democrat candidate (Kerry, Obama, Clinton and Biden). Which is why it didn't surprise anyone when you endorsed Kamala Harris last fall. "Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime," you said in a staged video from a local New Jersey diner last fall. "He doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American." It's why it didn't surprise us when we heard your recent Trump harangue on stage in London. Trump responded by attacking you, and you responded with two on-stage scripted screeds of your own. "In my home, they're persecuting people for their right to free speech and voicing their dissent," you said, forgetting that Facebook and Twitter had deplatformed Trump years earlier, and COVID policy critics, too. But you weren't finished: "In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death." But here's the funny thing, Bruce: Monmouth County, New Jersey—which includes the town you put on the map (Asbury Park), the town you were born and raised in (Freehold) and the town in which you currently live (Colts Neck)—voted overwhelmingly for Trump and his policies: 54.8 percent to 43.4 percent. In the town you now live, the vote was over 70 percent for Trump (70 percent!). As you know (but readers of this letter may not) Monmouth County, which lies an hour south of the bluer New Jersey counties closer to New York City, is filled with small beach towns and working-class and wealthy enclaves. Which means, Bruce, you believe the majority of your local friends and neighbors are either stupid or dangerous. Or both. What an irony: You, the guy who wrote "My Hometown," doesn't understand much about—and chooses to ridicule publicly—more than half the folks in your hometown and county. But you're not just out of touch with your neighbors, Bruce. It's the factory workers you've written about—and purport to care about—in songs like "Factory," "Mansion on the Hill" and "Youngstown." In your most iconic song, "Born in the U.S.A.," the Vietnam vet narrator returns to his old job at the refinery only to hear those hard words from the hiring man: "Son, if it were up to me." But if you bothered to talk to refinery, oil and gas workers—high-paying blue-collar jobs—and asked what they thought of Harris given her antipathy to fossil fuels, they would've told you she was the dangerous candidate. To their livelihoods. To our nation's economy. And to national security, which millions of us believe is at stake when it comes to American energy production. "I'd say 80 percent to 90 percent of [United Steelworkers] oil workers will vote for Trump," a Texas union leader told Reuters in a story last fall. Are they stupid or dangerous for believing what they believe, Bruce? You should spend time in Luzerne County in northeast Pennsylvania, a coal mining region in the early 20th century that lost population when the mines closed and factories shuttered? Towns like Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton and Pittston call the county home, which recently turned red after a 50-year Democrat run. They peaked in 2009, with registered Democrats outnumbering Republicans 2-to-1. By 2020, the lead was erased. In 2024, Trump carried the county 59.5 percent to Harris' 39.5 percent. Did the working-class folks of Luzerne County change, Bruce? Or did you? Did the voters lose their minds and souls? Or is there something deeper happening there—and across America—worth knowing and writing about? You might surprise yourself if you got to know them. And one last thing, Bruce. The next time you step up to a microphone in an arena filled with fans to talk politics, remember you've invited us to celebrate your music. It's why we come, many of us stretching family budgets to do so. We come escape the travails of the day, and together experience—as one song title of yours suggests—"all the heaven will allow." Remember also that many—possibly half—of your invited guests think quite differently about public policies that might best improve the lives of working families. Bruce, your on-stage harangues aren't just predictable and boring: they're rude. And unbecoming a generous, empathetic host like you. You have every right to do it. But we come to your shows to be moved, not lectured. We love you. But sometimes it feels like you don't love us back. Or at least don't respect us. And the meaningful reasons we come to see you. From a forever fan. Lee Habeeb
