- Pam Andrews Posts and Delete Nude pics
That girl who used to be on that Coca Cola pop group, is still trying to get some attention by posting raunchy pictures on Instagram. Sadly for Pam Andrews nobody except News24 seems to care. Still NO endorsements or reality show offer... ag shem liefie. Put your clothes back on!
- Ifani Drops His Record Label And Rants On Twitter
I really like iFani, even after he blasted my friend in the media, I still think he is the most talented newcomer in this business in the last 5 years. BUT boy clearly doesn't get that this is SA not US. The circle is very small. You don wanna be burning bridges when you have only been in this game for a second.

Popular talk radio host David O’Sullivan is parting ways with a station he has called home for nearly two decades.
“After 19 years with Talk Radio 702, David has decided to move on to new projects. He has been an asset to the station,” said Pheladi Gwangwa, Talk Radio 702 station manager.
