Mbonisi Mahonondo

SOUTH AFRICA-based actress and television personality Mbo Mahocs is in Bulawayo to let her hair down and take a break from the silver screen in Mzansi.

Mahocs (real name Mbonisi Mahonondo) became a darling of many after starring on eTV soapie Scandal on which she played the character of a scheming Chichi for about a month.

In the soapie, her character was killed by her lover, Mthunzi recently.

To celebrate her role on the SA tv show as well as her budding career in the neighbouring country, Mbo has been invited to one of the city’s leading nightspots, Cosmopolitan Night Club tonight, to party and meet fans.

She will be joined by rapper Asaph who will entertain patrons there together with the club’s resident DJs.

But before making an appearance at Cosmopolitan, Mbo Mahocs will party in the CBD at Zarah Lounge and Crystal Night Club.

Andile Phiri who is promoting her visit here said: “This is an opportunity for people to come and meet Chichi while she’s in Zimbabwe.
She’ll start off her night at Zarah Lounge, shift over to Crystal Lounge and then end at Cosmopolitan.”

“Mbo Mahocs is a premium African brand straight from Bulawayo that is why we saw it fit for her to party at the finest clubs in the country.”
Tomorrow, Mbo is expected to share the SA glam with the city’s residents as she will be at the Miss Tourism Zimbabwe red carpet.

Together with model Godfrey Koti, the two will act as fashion police at the pageant.

Mbo Mahocs will today visit her former school Eveline High in Bulawayo to hold a workshop on theatre with the girls there. On Tuesday she will address the pupils during assembly.

Tawanda Mambo (Saintfloew)goes to SA for rehab

Published

saintfloew-rehab

Zimbabwean rapper Saintfloew is looking to kick his drug addiction once and for all and has reportedly flown out to South Africa where he is going to receive rehabilitation services.

In an interview with Star FM’s Ollah 7 last week, Saintfloew admitted that he was taking drugs, although he was in the process of trying to quit. He refused to admit whether he had been taking the dreaded crystal meth, known popularly as Guka or Dombo.

I cannot confirm the allegations and I cannot say anything about them, so I am not confirming anything and I am not talking about anything. But what I am saying is we came out from the wrong way, a lot happens here in Chitown (Chitungwiza) and I took multiple drugs.

I am still working on quitting taking some of the things. I am not confirming anything but all I can say is there are some drugs that I am trying to stop,” he said.

Saintfloew also revealed that his drug addiction had little to do with the music industry.

It is not like the pressures of music cause artists to take drugs, but before we became artists, we had nothing to do and we had all the time to take drugs. Now if it is regret or moving on, that is what I am working on,” he said

In an interview with H-Metro before the rapper’s departure to South Africa, Saintfloew’s mother, Ebenezer Mambo said that her son’s struggles with drugs were linked to a tough upbringing. She said the musician lost his father at the age of two.

We lost his father when they were still very young and there was no man in the house to whip my son into line. I tried my best to give him a life, but there are some times when a father is needed in the upbringing of children.

I have never doubted my son’s intelligence, but I was worried when he continued pursuing music. He ended up taking drugs and it pains me a lot,” she said.

Mambo praised Nash Paints Group executive chairman, Tinashe Mutarisi, who convinced Saintfloew to go for rehab in SA, for helping her son get back on track.

“I am humbled that good people still exist as is the case with Mr Tinashe Mutarisi. I think he was sent by God to save my son from abusing drugs.

“Like the biblical Moses, Mutarisi has just done the best for my family and I hope my son will come back from South Africa a changed man,” she said.

Kudzai Mushonga Khanyi Mbau

There are indications that the on-and-off romantic relationship between Khanyi Mbau and Kudzai Mushonga has heated up once more. The couple recently shared pictures of themselves getting cosy on their Instagram pages. One of the photos shows them snuggled up in each other’s arms on a yacht in Dubai, where Mushonga resides. In the caption, they wrote, “We might bend, but won’t break.”

Although Mbau has been in South Africa for work, she is a resident of Dubai and shares a home with Kudzai Mushonga, a Zimbabwean businessman. In another post, the couple is seen toasting with red roses in hand. Mushonga wrote, “Forever us my baby @mbaureloaded. I love you.”

In May, the couple’s relationship status was the subject of speculation after they deleted all posts of each other from their social media accounts. This came after Kudzai Mushonga was rumoured to be romantically involved with Vanja Vicentijevic.

The couple has been in the news before when Mushonga publicly expressed concern about Mbau’s whereabouts after she went missing in Dubai. It was later discovered that Mbau had returned to South Africa without informing Mushonga.
