Bonang Matheba Is More Than Dbanj's Alleged South African Girlfriend [Photos]

Posted in: , , , ,

Bonang Matheba may have come into the Nigerian gossip columns as D'banj's alleged South African girlfriend but commentators from South Africa want us to know she's far more than some 'ordinary girl' or groupie. Twitter user Sibongile expressed dismay with the way Nigerian tabloids had described Bonang Matheba in recent reports of her alleged relationship with Dbanj. Apparently, in South Africa, she's known as 'the queen'. Queen of what you ask? Well, her website describes her as,

"South Africa's favourite media personality. A radio host, tv presenter and style icon- she is known for her electric personality, husky voice and magnetic smile. A global brand ambassador for Revlon Cosmetics, this award winning entertainer is also SA's number 1 social media Queen!"

And truly, she has covered several magazines, including Elle SA, and has fronted a line of lingerie retailed in the UK. See pictures below...

Lesego Daniel is the pastor that told his Rabboni Ministeries members to eat grass right out of the ground and they did. He has also been known to trample on the back of his members to pass anointing to them.

This time the pastor, who believes he is of a higher anointing, told his members to drink petrol, and no, he did not convert it to wine first even though he asked other pastors not to try this stunt until they can turn water to wine.

WATCH - The Terrible Conditions In Which Nigerian Immigrants Seek Asylum in South Africa

Posted in: , , ,

According to a South African immigration officer, about 1000 Nigerians besiege their office on a daily basis seeking asylum. Those who manage to get over there on temporary or fake papers never want to return despite the treatment from other South Africans and their government.

Why do Nigerians put themselves through this? I guess I shouldn't be asking this question. For millions of Nigerians, the country has failed them.

SaharaTV's crew went behind the scenes in South Africa to cover the plight of Nigerian immigrants seeking asylum under harsh conditions in Pretoria, South Africa.

It's A Second Wedding For 9-year-old Boy And His 61-year-old Wife In South Africa

Posted in: , , ,

A nine-year-old schoolboy has become one of the world's youngest grooms for the second time -- marrying his 62-year-old wife again.

Looking a little taller but still in last year's silvery tuxedo, baby faced Saneie Masilela clutched the hand of Helen Shabangu as they repeated their vows one year on.

Last year the boy, from nearby Tshwane, tied the knot with bride Helen after claiming he had been told by his dead ancestors to wed.

Shockingly his family took the message from the heavens seriously and hurriedly forked out £500 for the bride and a further £1,000 for the big day.

South African Feed A Child Charity Releases Apology for Racist Ad

Posted in: , ,

The South African Children’s Charity, Feed A Child, has apologised for the TV Ad where a white woman feeds a black boy as if he were a dog.

The controversial advertisement shows an affluent white woman feeding a black child like a dog, making the point many domestic animals in South Africa are better fed than many children.

The advert begins with the boy lying across the woman's lap while she hand feeds him popcorn.

It then moves on to the bedroom where the boy is seen handing her the paper after which she rewards him with a nibble of her breakfast.

It ends with the woman at her dining table feeding the boy a pinch of her meal while he sits at her feet, before the tagline "the average domestic dog eats better than millions of children" appears on screen.
