She started seeing the pastor early this year and after many sexual encounters, she became pregnant. In order to save face and cover their shame, the couple resorted to terminating the pregnancy.

Out of all the celebrities we know, Zahara has to be one of the most cyber-bullied celebrities in these social media streets, but as of late, the singer has taken back her power and is not taking nonsense from anyone. Zahara is not here to play 

When you think about spicy celebrities, Zahara is probably not on your list. Just to be clear, when we say 'spicy' we mean celebs who are known for their clapback game. 

But it looks like you might have to put her on that list. The star recently put a troll in his place and it was kinda funny. 

After the singer posted a video of herself dedicated to Idols contestant Yanga, a ' fan' made a rather nasty comment.

This response was uncalled for!

Twitter

Can't remember the last time anyone even mentioned the name drink-O-Pop. Hilarious!

Just a few months ago a number of trolls tried to come at her with regards to her song with Vusi Nova, but like the clapback queen she's become, Zahara handled that situation pretty well.

It looks like Ntokozo TK Dlamini who plays the role of Mastermind in Uzalo will be back on our screens sooner than we think.

According to gossip mongers, the reason why TK was suspended from the show was that he was allegedly difficult to work with and hand absconded a number of shooting schedules.

However, TK went onto Gagasi FM to set the record straight about why he left Uzalo, Ntokozo confirmed to Gagasi FM that he would be leaving the show to focus on his soon to be born baby with Jessica Nkosi.

Uzalo’s PR manager Marang Setshwaelo also went to dismiss the suspension rumours but confirmed that TK would return to the show.

“We’d like to make it clear that he was never dismissed or suspended, we can confirm that TK Dlamini, also known as Mastermind, will be appearing on Uzalo in the near future," said Setshwaelo.

According to Daily Sun sources, the other reason that TK is coming back is because the show could not handle the pressure it was getting from viewers to bring him back after all TK is a known favourite amongst many of Uzalo's female viewers.

TNicholas Ninow, dros rapist stands accused of raping a seven-year-old girl at a restaurant in Pretoria. During his court appearance on Tuesday, keen-eyed members of the public picked up some dubious details.

As photographs of the suspected rapist’s court appearance begin to surface, some members of the public are crying foul, arguing that Ninow should have been shackled. Unfortunately, as is often the case within the context of South Africa’s current racially heated climate, people are saying Ninow avoided leg shackles because of his white privilege.

Nicholas Ninow’s rape case, racialised from the start

This isn’t the first time the horrific incident has been marred by racial undertones. Some social media users were quick to point out that Ninow’s identity had been withheld due to the fact that he’s a 20-year-old white man facing charges of rape.

This, they said, was proof that ‘white-owned media’ only pushed a certain racial agenda by depicting rapes in South Africa as being solely committed by black men.his rhetoric backfired. In reality, the law prohibits the identity of an accused being made public prior to the suspect’s court appearance and plea. Furthermore, legal experts and government officials blasted social media users and media outlets for revealing the accused’s identity pre-trial, by sharing images and videos of Ninow in the public domain.

This breach of legality, including the sharing of a video which allegedly shows the moments after the crime took place, has, according to experts, the propensity to damage the state’s case against Ninow.

Nicholas Ninow and the shackle debate

Yet, the racial debate surrounding Ninow still persists. This time, the question is:  If fees must fall, activist, Mcebo Dlamini and corruption accused Duduzane Zuma were both shackled for their separate court appearances, why was rapist accused Ninow not?

Legal experts explain regulations surrounding shackles

Speaking to 702 Talk Radio, South African Police Services (SAPS) spokesperson, Vish Naidoo, confirmed that there was no singular policy with regards to the shackling of the accused when appearing in court, saying:

“Regarding shackling of awaiting trails detainees that are going to court, there is no specific policy on that. There is a policy that speaks to the restraining of suspects when arrested and being transported from point A to point B.

When it comes to an accused that is appearing in court, the prerogative is on the investigating officer first and foremost to make a determination as to whether that suspect or awaiting trial detainee may be in restraints when being brought before the court.

And that would be informed by the level of threat that suspect poses in terms of causing danger to himself or herself or danger to anybody else in their vicinity.”

Naaido argued that every case that appears before the judge is handled according to individual factors, explaining:

“A second scenario is when a court would place such a rule like the one of Duduzane Zuma. That court had experienced challenges in the past where suspects escaped. So the court made a ruling that every suspect that will appear there will be in restraints.

Every case has to be treated with its own merits in any other court and that determination will be made by the investigating officer base on whether the suspect may be a flight risk or pose danger.”

Shackles have been described as inhumane

Also speaking to 702 Talk Radio, attorney and former prosecutor Marius Du Toit said that the general issue of shackled suspects was one of hot debate. Du Toit explained that high courts had already requested the abolishment of leg shackles, saying:

“They have come clear to say that it is extremely undesirable practice to bring the person in shackles because this person has a right to be treated with dignity, has a right to be receiving a fair trial.

Our courts have said it is something that should be stopped and it should not be allowed. The High Court in Pretoria has gone on to say if you continue doing it, it will start of contempt of court proceedings against you for bringing people in shackles.”

Ninow will return to Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Thursday 1 November.
