R&B lovers are in for a soulful treat as DJ Selby brings his smooth sounds to Imbizo Shisanyama in Midrand on Sunday evening.

His passion for soulful music and the way he connected with listeners left a huge impact on me,' he told TshisaLIVE. 'Every set I play is a tribute to that era and to him.' Asked what fans could expect on Sunday, DJ Selby said: 'Fans attending the event at Imbizo Shisanyama can expect a night filled with smooth classics, contemporary R&B hits and a few surprises.'

Lebo M puts a ring on it — again
Lion King producer Lebo M has put a ring on it again — this time to his on-and-off partner Malefu 'Mel' Ntsala. The two got engaged in a private affair in Dubai on Friday. Lebo M and Malefu 'Mel' Ntsala have previously been involved in a relationship with one another and now the Lion King producer has sealed the deal with a ring. After years of sharing their journey in the public eye — with its fair share of highs, lows and unforgettable moments — the couple is ready to step into a new chapter defined by unwavering commitment and purpose. In a statement sent exclusively to TshisaLIVE , Lebo M candidly opened up about his personal evolution: 'The pursuit of love, happiness, and comfort is a lifelong journey. I'm humbled by my dance with love through the years, and grateful for the strength to never give up on it. In a world filled with trials and tribulations we face — and gender-based violence being one of the most painful — I'm proud to stand for love with purpose. At my age, I choose commitment over 'boyfriend culture' and celebrate the courage it takes to truly love and be loved.' While the details of their plans remain private, congratulatory messages and warm wishes from friends, fans and fellow artists have already begun pouring in. The couple's radiant smiles and shared joy are proof that sometimes, the best love stories aren't scripted — they're simply lived. With his trademark passion and resilience, Lebo M is once again showing the world that love, at any age, is worth celebrating. The Lion King producer and six-time Tong Award winner, has been married four times and has had multiple engagements. This would be his fifth time getting married.
