Watch – Mlindo returns on stage with clutches after viral drunk video
Mlindo The Vocalist has played the game of proving that two stories can be factual at the same time. The “Amablesser” musician was caught in the social media storm this past week as the video of himself visibly drowsy was circulated on social media, with speculations running wild on what happened to the star.
His first apology came with a very shay story about a knee, fatigue, and the need for a bodyguard to carry him off stage. Because we would not do justice to tell that story for him, Mlindo was documented as having said that:
“I have a problem with my knees and yesterday [Monday, 30 November 2020] the venue was packed and the stage was wet. I was performing the last song of the evening and someone pulled me into the crowd and I couldn’t get up which is why a bodyguard had to come and pick me up.”
The cause for the weak knee was not touched on. However, the musician did go through two car accidents last year, with the recent one having resulting in his arm being put in a cast. It was not his knee that was cited as the problem area at the time, but maybe- well, who knows that source of the weak knee.
But then the real tea was exposed, or conceptualized, depending on who you ask. There was first the circulation of a video of Mlindo accepting a drink from a stranger in the audience.
Thereafter, tweeps put two-and-two together and decided that Mlindo’s drink was spiked, hence his viral exit off the stage on the back of his bodyguard. Once that story circulated many were willing to ride the wave of the belief that Mlindo the Vocalist’s drink was spiked.
But the musician has made his return to the stage just days after the incident. But this around Mlindo was hired to perform in KwaZulu-Natal where he is originally from. Seeing as he has made frenemies in Pretoria, it is better that he performs closer to home to ensure that the incident does not happen again. But the problem with the appreciation post for the support he received was that he had crutches in the video.

Now, that is the confusing part, which is which now. Did Mlindo get spiked than fall and injure his knee. Or was his knee always a problem, and following him being spiked his knee acted up again. The point is to find out what is the sequence of events and when did the knee get involved?

MacGyver “MacG” Mukwevho is one of the leading podcasters in South Africa and arguably Africa as a whole. Back in 2022, his YouTube-based podcast Podcast and Chill was considered the fastest-growing local channel by almost doubling in its subscribers in the year alone.
However, it seems that his recent interview with musician and estranged ex-wife to Nota Baloyi, Berita, has landed him in trouble with the rest of his fellow podcasters. This is because MacG was friends with Nota before Nota started attacking Podcast and Chill’s co-host Sol Phenduka.
Thereafter, the entire podcast vowed never to talk or address anything Nota says about them on social media. However, the invitation to Berita to appear resulted in Nota going back to Twitter to lambaste and threaten the podcast.
MacG committed career suicide when he crossed me… Nobody gets away with crossing me!

Now it seems that Nota has gotten other podcasters to attempt to disparage more YouTubers to not watch Podcast and Chill.
MacG labeled as a gatekeeper by Penuel
Penuel the Black Pen is a YouTuber and podcaster who has his own podcast besides co-anchoring DJ Sbu’s The Hustler’s Corner. Moreover, Penuel is Nota’s friend if his latest utterances are anything to go by. Given Nota’s history of attacking females and in addition to his triggering utterances on social media, you would believe that Penuel would be seeking help for Nota.
But Penuel seems to think that Nota has a good heart. As such, he compared Nota to MacG by suggesting that Nota’s good heart is unlike that of MacG, who he labeled as a gatekeeper because MacG allegedly does not support up-and-coming podcasters and YouTubers via his channel.
“NOTA has got an amazing heart, he says a lot of disruptive things, but he’s got a good heart & he’s tryna put kids on in other podcasts.
Something that people like MacG are NOT doing.”😭
Selfish vs selfless ambitions🤔

This is the same Penuel that forgets that MacG did visit the DJ Sbu podcast and endorsed Hustler’s Corner. Moreover, MacG was the first podcast to have Nota as a regular feature before his utterances leaned toward being violent and dangerous. The same MacG who has diversified his channel into a network to include other podcasts like The Queer Way of Life with Bujy Bikwa, On The Table, Podcarst and Ride, and Popcorn and Cheese. Even Penuel has been on Podcast and Chill.
As such, it seems that Chillers were affronted by Penuel’s false tales on how MacG is a gatekeeper on YouTube given that he too started on the platform with zero to no support and grew his subscription organically. Therefore, some Chillers have petitioned to boycott other podcasts in order to prove how much of a gatekeeper MacG could be if he decided to do so.
Dj Fresh said he went to Mac for advice
Oskido went to Mac for advise
A lot of people went to Mac for advise maybe the issue here is Mac doesn’t ask Sol ukuthi “guess who came and asked for a podcast advice Sol”

CHILLERS, I think it’s time to unsubscribe on these other Podcasts and show them who we are! These people are slowly showing their hate for Macg, Unsubscribe and never watch those podcasts, Hands off Macg! https://t.co/Ns5fU4UFlp

@GodPenuel I like & respect you, but this is weak and pathetic coming from you. Don’t you think y’all are riding on the path which he paved, don’t y’all go on #podcastandchillwithmacg to elevate viewership on your own podcasts?

Siyabonga Radebe has reportedly been admitted to a mental facility.
The actor who portrayed Vikizitha Magwaza, in the SABC1 soapie is suspected that the actor may be suffering from mental illness.
The 38-year-old actor joined Uzalo in February and admitted that the show saved him after he was said to have been broke and started commuting in taxis.
According to a report on Isolezwe, Siyabonga is in a bad mental state since he has been admitted to a mental facility for weeks now.
Apparently, his condition is not getting better as he was seen was wandering around naked in the hospital. “He appears to be a very mentally disturbed person,” said a source inside the hospital.
Another source from Ntuzuma, where the actor stays said people in the area started being worried about him after he moved back there. Community members apparently used to see him talking alone while walking.
“He was seen walking down the street wearing a gown and holding a cup of tea. He was not walking a short distance with that cup and gown. We suspect that something has disturbed his mind as he is a person who often seems to have a lot on his mind,” said the source.
Uzalo and the SABC recently announced that Fanele Bhengu has joined the show as Omuhle Gela’s replacement. Another actor who is joining is fan-favorite Nkanyiso Mchunu who is set to play Siphamandla “Wizard” Nkosi.
LaConco’s father has revealed that he is ready to reconcile with his daughter.
The star’s father has no intention to leave this world a heartbroken man following his strained relationship with his daughter.
According to Daily Sun, the 94-year-old man wants to mend his broken relationship with his daughter, before he passes away, and he is begging her to come home and see her.
The Our Perfect Wedding host has allegedly blocked his number and on social media because she wants nothing to do with him. “I miss my daughter, but it’s clear she hates me. I’ve been trying to reach her since 2018, but she blocked me on all communication platforms,” he explained.
Their relationship apparently got tainted after he weighed in on LaConco’s damages paid by former South African statesman Jacob Zuma for getting her pregnant. According to the ailing father, the damages went to her mother’s home in the Eastern Cape.
“Was I wrong to be angry when things were not done according to our culture? Was I supposed to keep quiet? I don’t know. All I know is that I need to reconcile with my daughter so that I die in peace. Nonkanyiso my loving daughter, please come back home. Let us talk and put everything behind us. I’m sick. I feel weak every day and sometimes my eyes get blurry. I can die anytime. But I’m afraid if I die now, I will die with a broken heart. And I will not be a good ancestor to Nonkanyiso,” he told the publication.
He told the publication that he wants to reconcile with his daughter because his ancestors visited him through a dream and said they won’t accept her should she die because she deserted her father.
“I raised Nonkanyiso. She went to the best schools. The English that she speaks on TV is because of me. I also pray for her well-being. I burn impepho and ask the ancestors to watch over her and bring her back home,” he added.
The old man said that she does not want the famed TV star’s money, because he is being taken care of by her siblings. He just wants her to come to see him so they can talk and mend their broken relationship.
