Gogo Skhotheni appears to be recovering from the death of her son

Losing a child is an indescribable pain that no parent should have to endure. For most parents, the hope is to see their children grow, graduate, and blossom into adults. However, for renowned traditional healer and reality TV star Gogo Skhotheni, real name Tumi Motsoeneng, this hope took a tragic turn with the passing of her son, Monde Jnr Shange.

Monde Jnr was born with a rare condition that left him without the tube that transports food to the stomach, resulting in him spending most of his life in and out of the hospital. Despite the medical interventions, his health continued to deteriorate, and he sadly passed away last week. His death left his family and fans in mourning, with his funeral taking place this past Saturday.

Tyla calls MTV VMAs win ‘Bittersweet’ over African music grouping

South African sensation Tyla is making waves on the global stage. This year has been a whirlwind, thanks to her viral music.

TYLA AT THE MTV VMA
On Wednesday, 11 September 2024, she achieved yet another career milestone by winning the Best Afrobeats award at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

It’s a huge moment for African music, but Tyla’s feelings about the win are not without complexity, according to Marie Claire.

As she accepted the iconic Moonperson trophy, Tyla expressed a mix of pride and frustration.

“This is just so special, but also bittersweet,” she began.

TYLA ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM
Tyla took the opportunity to address a problem that many African artists face: the tendency to lump all African music under the Afrobeats genre.

“I know there’s a tendency to group all African artists under Afrobeats. It’s a thing,” she continued.

Although she acknowledged the massive success of Afrobeats globally, she reminded the audience that African music is incredibly diverse.

TYLA ON AFROBEATS AND AMAPIANO
“Afrobeats has run things and has opened so many doors for us, but African music is so much more than just Afrobeats,” she said.
