Actress Altovise Lawrence speaks on overcoming her Fears

Actress Altovise Lawrence has not only made South Africa proud with her sterling acting on international screens, she has also overcome her doubts to also make a name for herself on radio.

Whatever Altovise touches turns to gold, and sis has been unstoppable as she raises the South African flag high, both locally and internationally. But there was a time when she felt like she wasn’t good enough to be on radio.

The YFM DJ and winner of the first season of the reality show Top Actor told her followers recently that she has always loved radio but decided to put a career in broadcasting on hold until she reached the age of 33.

In a moving post, she reflected on the inferiority complex she had as recently as six months ago.

“After my series of auditions, I told myself that I would not get it because I wasn’t qualified. Why me? Why now? What if I suck and they regret their decision? But I did it. I keep doing it. I am expanding and shape-shifting my way through the arts and seeing myself becoming the artist I dreamed I would become in the distant future,” she wrote.

She gave herself a pat on the back for conquering her fears and doubts – and for doing what she loves.

Altovise is evidence that under no circumstances should you underestimate yourself. Instead go for what you believe in and never allow fear to obstruct your vision.

Cassper Nyovest offers to teach Mmusi Maimane how to dance to #GoodForThat

It’s hard to imagine, but Abuti Fill Up, aka Cassper Nyovest, is ready and willing to teach former DA leader Mmusi Maimane just how to nail his latest dance for the song Good For That.

Nope, we didn’t make it up. Mxweee struu.

It was quite a random Twitter exchange, or perhaps it was the hype around the #GoodForThatChallenge that plugged Mmusi to Cassper’s new song.

Mmusi tagged Cassper on the Twitter streets to let him know he’s got a banger of a song. Needless to say, Mufasa was thrilled.

Cassper was so ecstatic he went on to offer Mmusi free dance lesson,s and tweeps couldn’t believe their eyes when Mmusi expressed his excitement about learning the dance.

“I am game. Need to learn that dance asap,” Mmusi said.

Just performed #GoodForThat in Phalaborwa and that joint is gone!!!! This will be the biggest hip hop song of the year!!!! Trust me!!!!! Unless i drop something hotter than it!!!! We got one!!!! Once it connects outside Jhb i know we INSIDE!!! RE KENE!!!

Wait what? Mmusi Maimane jamming Good for that ? That’s lit. I need to teach you the dance. #GoodForThatChallenge https://t.co/ZI865RAXWs

I am game. Need to learn that dance ASAP.

— Mmusi Maimane (@MmusiMaimane) February 23, 2020

Meanwhile, Cassper agreed with one fan that K’sazobalit was a highly “slept on” song. He said the reception of the song led to his “sabbatical” from hip hop because he realised it could have been appreciated more.

However, as Good For That shows, he’s back with a vengeance.

Slept on, Slept on. That’s when i decided to stop. I realised the energy aint right. Wanted to see what would happen if i took a step back from making Hip Hop Club records and well….. shhhhhhhhhhh We back now doe!!!! Stacking em up!!!! https://t.co/YZQN2wpAQe

Now we are all waiting for Mmusi to post that video of himself dancing.

Trump calls for calm as first coronavirus death on US soil confirmed

The first fatality from the novel coronavirus has been confirmed on US soil, as President Donald Trump on Saturday urged Americans not to panic.

Health officials said the man who died in Washington state was one of a handful with no known links to global hot zones to have contracted the virus — indicating that the pathogen was now likely spreading in communities.

The death occurred in King County, the most populous in the state and home to Seattle, a city of more than 700,000 people, officials told AFP.

The victim was in his 50s and had “underlying health conditions,” said Jeff Duchin, public health officer for Seattle and King County.

“It is a sad day in our state as we learn that a Washingtonian has died from COVID-19,” Washington state Governor Jay Inslee said in a statement, sending condolences to the victim’s loved ones.

Inslee declared a state of emergency over coronavirus, freeing up funding for state agencies and allowing the use of the Washington National Guard, if necessary.

Speaking at a White House news conference Trump said that “additional cases in the United States are likely,” but added that “healthy individuals should be able to fully recover.”

“Our country is prepared for any circumstance,” Trump insisted, calling on “the media and politicians and everybody else involved not to do anything to incite panic.”

Trump identified the victim as “a wonderful woman,” but the CDC later said it had misinformed the president in an earlier briefing.

Washington state also reported on Saturday the country’s first case of coronavirus in a health care worker and the first possible outbreak in a nursing home.

This comes after the states of Oregon and California confirmed late last week the first instances of infected US patients who had not travelled overseas or come in contact with anyone known to be ill.

“While there is still much to learn about the unfolding situations in California, Oregon, and Washington, preliminary information raises the level of concern about the immediate threat for COVID-19 for certain communities in the United States,” the CDC said.

Toll tariffs to increase from March

Toll tariffs on national roads are going up from Sunday including an increase in fees for the controversial e-tolls in Gauteng.

Wayne Duvenage, CEO of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) said the increase of tolls is nothing new and South Africans should not read too much into it.

Duvenage said the e-toll scheme has collapsed through non-compliance from users and a lack of enforcement from Sanral.

Coronavirus – Expert says South Africans shouldn’t panic

As global concern for the spread of the coronavirus rises, a Stellenbosch University virologist urged South Africans not to panic.

Professor Wolfgang Preiser returned from Brussels this week where he was invited as an expert evaluator of coronavirus research proposals.

The South African Medical Association (SAMA) has already warned that it’s not a case of if COVID-19 arrives on local shores, but when.

Preiser says we must be prepared for this eventuality.

“For all intent and purposes, I think a comparison with a new flu strain is really not that wrong. And that means panicking is definitely not advised,” said Presier.

Like with influenza, there are certain members of the public who are at particularly high risk.

It is these people Preiser says would need special attention and care.

“I don’t think we have a complete picture yet of how the new virus behaves.

“But from the publications that have appeared so far, it seems that it is the elderly and the chronically ill who are most badly affected, so those are the patients who will need intensive care unit treatment and who may actually die due to the infection.”

The National Institute of Communicable Diseases says it remains on high alert.

It says measures are in place to detect and manage the disease should it reach South Africa.

Day Zero for Cape Town refugees

It’s Day Zero for removal of refugees who have been camping at the Green Market Square in Cape Town.

The City of Cape Town can on Sunday legally chase them away from there or have them arrested, according to the court order granted over a week ago.

But refugees say they have nowhere to go and that the City cares more about by-laws than human beings.

The City’s JP Smith said people will now be asked to pack up and vacate the pavements and streets they are currently occupying.

“People not complying with the court’s instructions will be liable for arrest and detention at the SAPS in order for the court to continue hearing that matter,” said Smith.

The City says the refugees do not qualify for emergency or alternative accommodation as they are not homeless but rather staging a sit-in protest.

The refugees want to be resettled in a third country they believe will be safe for them.

They are now looking to the UNHCR to assist them with temporary accommodation and to facilitate their exit from South Africa.

Nigerian Pastor Elija Emeka Chibuke who declared war on Coronavirus has been hospitalized in China

Nigerian Pastor Elija Emeka Chibuke who declared war on Coronavirus has been hospitalized in China. Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. Early this week, a Nigerian pastor by name Pastor Elija Emeka Chibuke declared his intentions to travel to China and destroy the deadly coronavirus that has been claiming so many lives across the world especially China.

In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that are typically mild, such as the common cold, though rarer forms such as SARS, MERS and COVID-19 can be lethal.

Symptoms vary in other species: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhoea. There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.

Coronaviruses comprise the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae in the family Coronaviridae, in the order Nidovirales.

They have enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. The genome size of coronaviruses ranges from approximately 27 to 34 kilobases, the largest among known RNA viruses.

The name coronavirus is derived from the Latin corona, meaning “crown” or “halo”, which refers to the characteristic appearance of the virus particles (virions): they have a fringe reminiscent of a crown or of a solar corona.

Joburg residents urged to avoid low-lying areas amid prolonged rain

The rains which began yesterday afternoon caused delays on the roads and stoked fears of prolonged disruption.

With sustained downpours expected to continue across vast parts of Gauteng today, the Joburg Emergency Services is calling on residents in the city to avoid low-lying areas.

The rains which began yesterday afternoon caused delays on the roads and stoked fears of prolonged disruption.

Last month, heavy downpours left a trail of destruction in areas including Alexandra as well as Orlando in Soweto, where trees were toppled over, homes were flooded and many displaced.

The damage caused yesterday is still being assessed.

Racist Adam Catzavelos has learned his lesson – lawyer

Adam Catzavelos was handed a suspended sentence of R50,000 rand or two years behind bars for calling black people the k-word on a Greek beach – suspended for five years.

Adam Catzavelos said he was grateful for the sentence handed to him while his counsel is adamant the convicted racist has now learned his lesson.

Catzavelos was handed a suspended sentence of R50,000 rand or two years behind bars for calling black people the k-word on a Greek beach – suspended for five years.

The sentence essentially means Catzavelos could be liable to pay the fine or serve two years behind bars if he becomes a repeat offender within this period.

The case was brought forward by the Economic Freedom Fighters in 2018 when it laid the charge at Bramley Police Station.

Catzavelos is still expected to comply with an Equality Court ruling, which ordered him to pay an R150,000 fine to the Seth Mazibuko Foundation, which is run by the foundation’s namesake, who was a 1976 Soweto uprising activist.

His legal counsel, Lawley Shain, hoped the matter will now be put to bed.

“I think the court took into account the circumstances – correctly so – and one of the sentences that I recommended was the imposition of a fine only suspended and that is what has happened.”

SMEG UK has clearly seen all the unnecessary hateration and gave Mohale a little gift to enjoy from them.

Mohale truly is laughing all the way to the…kitchen with these hate comments- don’t we know by now, that all we need is love?

Mohale isn’t the only one to receive love after all the hate. Do you guys remember the KFC proposal last year? When folks were ridiculing the idea, sponsors willing to contribute to the wedding came out in droves, making the KFC Wedding the most talked-about wedding all over Mzansi and the world.
