If you survived all 22 episodes of The Polygamist, you deserve a cup of tea, counselling, and a warm blanket.
Because Jonasi Gomora is not a character you just watch.
He follows you into your thoughts.
Ladies, let us be honest. Many of you look at men like Jonasi from a distance and think, “That is the kind of man I want.”
But could you actually stand him in real life?
Could you live with that charm?
Those secrets?
That confidence?
That smooth talking?
That double life energy?
Meet Jonasi Gomora, played by the talented S’dumo Mtshali.
And my brother, S’dumo did not just act.
He delivered.
He nailed this role so well that Jonasi became more than entertainment. He became an eye-opener for society. Through this character, we saw what it really means to live with a man who knows how to smile in public while causing stress behind closed doors.
That is why this show hits differently.
Jonasi made some women appreciate their own husbands more, because sometimes people keep comparing their partners to what they see outside, without knowing the full story inside someone else’s home.
The grass always looks greener from far away.
Until you get close and realize it is being watered with secrets.
That “perfect man” you admire from outside might be a full-time problem inside the house.
S’dumo Mtshali deserves respect for this performance.
He made us laugh.
He made us angry.
He made us think.
He made us question what we call love, marriage, and loyalty.
Jonasi Gomora is dangerous because he is believable.
And that is powerful acting.

A man rapes his daughter, is released on parole, and then rapes his 5 month old granddaughter. This is not just a tragedy, it is a catastrophic failure of our justice and parole systems. Some individuals should never be returned to society.

Kaya 959 fires Sol Phenduka
After a shocking suspension last week, the JHB based radio station Kaya 959 has officially terminated Phenduka's contract.
Stating in a statement ...
"Kaya 959 cannot and will not condone comments made on the MacG Vodcast, where Sol Phenduka is an integral part of the presenting team. Misogynistic remarks made about actress Minnie Dlamini were unacceptable and inconsistent with respect owed to women. As a content provider of our flagship breakfast show, his alignment with comments made on the vodcast, does not reflect who we are as a station, nor what our listeners expect of us.”
Acting Managing Executive Dave Tiltmann says the station cannot ignore behaviour that undermines its values or damages its reputation.
Tiltmann further states that the incident was a breach of his Independent Contract, despite Sol’s written assurance to Kaya management in June 2023 that such conduct would not re-occur.

Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald, in collaboration with the Department of Home Affairs, plans to deport foreign inmates to serve sentences in THEIR HOME COUNTRIES, aiming to ease South Africa’s prison overcrowding and save taxpayers R11 million daily for 24,000 foreign inmates. The initiative requires diplomatic agreements, particularly with nations like Zimbabwe, to comply with international law. Following a recent case where three foreign nationals were paroled and deported in October 2024, challenges include securing foreign cooperation and ensuring adequate prison systems abroad. Details are still being finalized.
