After weeks of mounting anticipation from fans, Cassper Nyovest on Monday thrilled Tsibipians with the announcement that the Royal Bafokeng stadium will be the next stop for his annual ‘Fill Up’ movement.

The concert, which is slated for December 15th, also marks Cassper’s return to his roots in North West, where he was born and raised.

The Move for Me hitmaker made the announcement on a clip on his social platforms. “There’s a rumour going around… yes, I’m gay!”, he joked, hitting back at the random rumour that he’s secretly dating Somizi. “Gay means cheerful, gay also means happy… happy to announce that this year’s ‘Fill Up’ is going to Rustenburg”

Phat Joe and Anele Mdoda are the latest South African celebrities who might be no longer be inviting each other to the braai.

The popular radio presenters on Wednesday read each other for filth, shaking the table just in time for breakfast. It all happened (so fast!) after Phat Joe threw the low hanging shade at Anele Mdoda, questioning her inclusion on the the Miss SA judging panel.

Phat Joe reportedly ruffled feathers on his Radio 2000 breakfast show when he paid dust to Mdoda’s gig judging the Miss SA girlies, allegedly saying she’s only there because of ‘affirmative action.’

“Phat Joe is obsessed with me”, Anele tweeted, hitting back at the Radio 2000 presenter over shady comments.

Phat Joe is so obsessed with me. Like a dog barking at cars that won’t ever stop 🙂 he should concentrate on being at a radio gig longer than 5 min. https://t.co/HEoLHnxSY5

In a storm of tweets calling Phat Joe out, Anele also later referred to him as “washed out” and urged him to try again when he can keep a show long enough.

We know of course that Phat Joe’s controversies not only keep him on top of mind because an opportunity to shock and trend is never missed, but they’ve also led to multiple suspensions and dismissals over the years.

Just last month, the 44 year old shock jock was suspended over on air homophobic remarks.

In an attempt to defend Zodwa Wabantu’s scathing attack on gay people (she’s since delivered her apology), Majota said he doesn’t “understand why (gays) can’t accept that it’s difficult for most people to accept their lifestyle.”

In 2009, the motormouth radio host was fired from his radio show at Kaya FM after making ‘insensitive’ (insert transphobic) comments about the legitimacy of Caster Semenya’s womanhood.

According to reports, Majota had asked whether or not Semenya ever had a period. Following backlash from his listeners at the time, he’s said to have later tried explaining his comments, saying, “What is the difference between testes and testicles? Let’s say she has testes… Does it mean she is a man or a woman? She is either a natural phenomenon, or something is wrong and something should be fixed.”

Meanwhile, the 2019 Miss SA show will be airing on Mzansi this Friday.
