Jackie-Phamatose-Basetsana-Khumalo-Husband

Well-known South African author Jackie Phamotse has finally spoken out on her current court case against Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo.

She had been silent about the case since her defeat on Tuesday, 18 September. She was charged with defamation and crimen injuria. This came after she tweeted that there was a s.e.x video of the Kumalos and another male celebrity in 2018.

On Saturday, 24 September, Jackie finally opened up and responded to a tweet saying she was stronger at that moment.

“I was born for a big change. I was made for times like this. I was literally born from a language of militant women and men. My brain and soul are shaped differently. Years of pain and suffering and private victories. Never have I been so strong as in these times,” she wrote.

The sentencing is scheduled for Tuesday 24 October.

Jackie had also recently spoken to the publication about the casting she is holding for her TV series, BARE.

She said that people need to be sure they are comfortable filming s.e.x and rape scenes and can handle nudity.

Speaking to the publication, Jackie (34) said: “The book has a lot of graphic scenes. There is a gang rape scene where five men rape a girl. There is nud1ty in some scenes and they should be comfortable with that. There are some things that will make other actors uncomfortable.

“I have met people who say they love acting but would not compromise on other things. So, it’s very important that they know what they are getting into,” she said.

Jackie said reading the book was a good way to prepare for the show and the audition.

“It’s very important to read the book and understand the characters, who they are, where they come from, and what their personalities are. We don’t want to throw people in at the deep end because they don’t know what they are auditioning for.

“Those who want to audition need to read Blesser’s Game beforehand. You need to read the book and find out if you will be comfortable in these roles. We have a therapist, an acting coach and a doctor on standby at all times because we know how it can affect actors,” she said.

The author said they want to educate young people through the show, which is why they want to cast young and fresh talent.

“We want to cast young and fresh talent. The intention is to create a production that educates young people and tells a story that really speaks to young people, so they could know how human trafficking works and how other things are done. We hope that they will be made aware of these crimes and most importantly that the message of the book will be conveyed in the series,” Jackie said.

While some people have trolled the young couple and accused Bontle of lying about the matter, others have shared hopes of having the same kind of relationship. Jokingly, some asked how she prayed for this kind of romance.

Bontle Modiselle

When it comes to relationships, love, and romance, it is completely normal for couples to lose themselves.

More often than not, arguments and fights ensue when certain needs and expectations from each other are not met.

A good relationship requires communication but even when there is good communication, fights are still part of most relationships.

Priddy Ugly

This is why when local media personality Bontle Modiselle told MacG that she and her husband Priddy Ugly never fight — many didn’t believe her.

According to Bontle who shares a young daughter, Afrika, with the musician, they started dating in 2009 and never had a fight.

Ayanda Ncwane has been keeping her private life under wraps, leaving many to guess. Ncwane is topping trends in the backdrop of her interview on Mzansi Magic Sip & Talk show.

While on Sip and Talk, anchored by Dineo Ranaka, the bubbly reality star disclosed that she has finally found a man but would keep his identity under wraps for now. She went on to reveal that he was “a good kisser”. Ayanda Ncwane confirmed her new relationship and is now off the market.Ncwane said, “Oh yes, I’m happy to tell you I have found love, finally. Even the Bible says there’s time for grieving and mourning. I believe I have mourned my husband enough. After lengthy pondering, I felt it wise to dust myself off and move on with my life.”

However, she said she will reveal much about her new man when the time is right. She also made it known that she was in good books with her mother-in-law despite their rumoured fallout in the backdrop of Sfiso Ncwane’s death.

The interview has gained thousands of comments and reactions since it dropped on the Internet. Ayanda and Sfiso have two sons. A few months ago, a rumour mill had it that one of their sons followed in his late father’s footsteps as he embarked on a singing career.
