The Soil lead vocalist Buhle Mda will be taking a hiatus from her performing duties with the acclaimed trio for focus on attending to her ancestral calling. Mda and her group mates took to Facebook to make the announcement. In true style of the group’s much noted harmonies, they belted out an acapella to let fans know that although the singer has to retreat from the public eye to focus on her spiritual calling, she will be back in no time. For now though, fans are in safe hands – more so when Buhle’s temporary replacement takes over soon.
“As Africans, at times we have to answer to greater beings than ourselves”, she opened up. “Hence I will be taking some time out to concentrate on my own ancestral callings. Strength to me. So, from March 2016 I will be absent from all performances with The Soil, but don’t be scared, I’m leaving you in these harmonious hands.”

The group also announced that they will not be taking a break from the biz. Rather, they have opened applications for a temporary replacement. Those of you who fancy themselves good female singers are all invited to give it a shot.
Mda joins a list of local celebrities who have heeded to their spiritual calling. Check that out HERE

“Kairo is very aware of her brand and the watch that she has released which made this collaboration an authentic one with a great fit. When you ask Kairo about it, she’s clear to say: “this is my business”.
This is the first influencer campaign for ERA and we look forward to releasing this limited edition. The Kairo Watch will be available for purchase individually or as a Legacy Combo (Mommy&Me) this festive season,” shares ERA Sales Manager, Masego Molefinyana.
The Kairo Watch with campaign tagline, It’s My Time, represents Kairo’s brand DNA. The watch is packaged as an educational offering. It comes with a colouring box for children to personalise. The imagery on the box speaks to elements that Kairo enjoys.
If you want to be the first to get your hands on a Kairo Watch or Legacy Combo, head over to Mall of Africa this Sunday, 24 November 2019, from 2pm – 3pm (Crystal Court Entrance 25 – next to Life Grand Café) where Kairo will be doing a meet and greet with DJ Zinhle and sign all stickers on purchases.

Black Coffee Asks For Privacy During Divorce From Enhle
Black Coffee and Enhle have asked for privacy during “heartbreaking” and “challenging” divorce.
Published
4 weeks agoon
November 14, 2019South African DJ Black Coffee has asked the public to afford his family some privacy during his highly publicised divorce from Enhle.
The 43 year old House music DJ and producer, who recently made headlines when he hung out with Drake during one of his resident shows in Ibiza, in the process sparking speculation of a collaboration, on Wednesday took to social media to share a heartfelt statement about his ongoing divorce.
“I wish to state that we have been trying to sort out our problems amicably and in private for a year”, he revealed in the statement. Adding, “It has been the most heartbreaking period and challenging period.”
“As Mbali has stated, our priority are to protect our children at this point [sic]. This is now a court matter. We ask for privacy.”
The statement comes a few days after the actress confirmed that the couple is officially going their separate. Prior to this, Black Coffee had maintained silence on the divorce.
Responding to an article confirming the divorce in the Sunday papers, Enhle took to Instagram to share a heartfelt video about the situation.
“I’ve been getting called by journalists a lot lately, and I’ve stuck by my ‘no comment’. It works for me”, she said in the video, barely able to hold back tears.
“I would like a bit of space with regards to questions and so forth. “I do believe the system will do what is due and what is fair.”
“It has been a long couple of years for me, and it all of that, all I ask is for silence. Not for me, or anyone else, but for my children. Everything I’ve done, to this day, is to protect my children.”
“All I’ve ever tried to do was to be a great wife, a supportive wife, one that is respectful. Not only to my partner, but also to everyone around him.”
“It has been a very rough year, but I still stand tall and proud. It is indeed a situation no one ever wants to see themselves in, but here we are.”
Black Coffee and Enhle have two children together.
