A Cape Town Labour Court judge has died after he was bitten by a black mamba while on holiday in Zambia. Judge Anton Steenkamp, 57, was doing what he loved, touring Africa with his wife, Catherine, when he was bitten by the snake on Monday, the family said. "We are devastated. No words. What an incredible man. His wife, Catherine, is still on her own in Zambia. They were touring Africa. We as a family were very, very proud of him," relative Ruby Steenkamp told News24.

Close friend Charles Leonard, the arts editor at The Conversation Africa, said Steenkamp was his comrade from the

AKA and DJ Zinhle are definitely back together, and Supa Mega is dropping the receipts.  From posting an image of Zinhle sitting on his lap just a few weeks ago to now sharing a snap of the couple sharing an intimate kiss at a club, it is safe to say, AKA and Zinhle are officially an item. It seems AKA has finally shut the door on rumours that were doing the rounds on social media about the couple's romance when he shared a collage of snaps including one where he and Zinhle are locking lips, captioning the post: “Thank You for coming out this past weekend”. The couple may still be mum about their romance but the pictures are worth a thousand words. While many are celebrating their faves rekindled

Parliament - President Cyril Ramaphosa has officially been sworn in as a member of the South African Parliament.

Since news of Prince William's alleged affair with Duchess Kate's best friend Rose Hanbury broke a few weeks ago, Kensington Palace has remained surprisingly mum. It's probably the best approach to take, reasoning that they wouldn't want to stoke any fires. But where there's silence, there's rumours. And even though both William and Kate have said nothing publicly on it, one can only guess what's been going on behind closed doors in the Cambridge household. It seems rumours of infidelity continue to haunt the British royal family. We all know about the Camila Parker Bowels scandal that engulfed Charles in the early eighties, and led to the demise of his marriage to the late Princess Diana, but

Durban -  A quick-thinking driver escaped unharmed from the clutches of two hijackers on Musgrave Road on the Berea on Monday.  The CCTV cameras, where the incident occurred, captured the incident as it unfolded just after 10:30 am.  The driver steers his car into the driveway of the premises which has a security guard.
