The real reason QV quit Big Brother Mzansi

Big Brother Mzansi housemate Keamogetswe "QV" Motlhale from Mahikeng in the North West, has exited the show, less than 72 hours after joining, to protect her mental health, she said.

Mzansi Magic on Wednesday confirmed that Motlhale decided to leave the show based on "personal reasons".

The 23-year-old's exit comes a day after the housemates were given a task on Monday to open up and share about their upbringing and life stories.

This is where Motlhale revealed to the other housemates that she was a rape survivor.

"Before the age of seven, I had already experienced sexual abuse from three different men. I am going to talk about one in particular, because [then], I guess, you guys will better understand who I am," she said.

She further opened up about her childhood trauma, detailing the abuse she survived at the hands of a close relative.

The other housemates then comforted an emotional Motlhale.

In a statement she shared on social media, Motlhale said she was grateful for the opportunity to be on the show.

"If there's one thing we can take away from my experience is that we should never pack our feelings away," Motlhale said.

"Nurse and guard your mental health at all times."

Mzansi Magic said Motlhale is working with a psychologist to help her transition back into the outside world.

How Dineo Ranaka pulled a quick one

Media personality Dineo Ranaka sparked one of the biggest controversies recently when she got suspended from her job at Metro FM. And after a dark window that saw her go through a lot of anxiety, it seems that things are finally looking up for her.

She recently went on Instagram to share that she had been reinstated as the host of her show, The Bridge. She is back effective immediately, and she, along with her fans, is excited about it.

Sunday World understands that Dineo was yanked off the air after refusing to apologise for dancing on a table upon which expensive studio equipment at Mzansi's biggest commercial station sits.

This contradicts media reports that the trail-blazing club DJ was iced by the station for merely participating in the Umlando challenge, which saw a phalanx of celebrities wiggling their bums and waists to the amapiano stellar cut featuring Young Stunna, Msolo, Sir Trill and Slade.

Dineo has also shared that she has many great wins lined up for the next few weeks. She will be shooting a brand-new TV show although she did not give any further information on what that will be.

Thuso Mbedu gets South Africans all loved up

As human beings, we always show appreciation to everyone but ourselves, never realising that it is equally, if not more important for our physical and metal well-being.

Here to remind us that we should never stop loving ourselves is award-winning The Underground Railway star, Thuso Mbedu.

She recently took to social media to post a short but "comically serious" skit about self-love and at the same time showed off her acting skills in a genre we're not used to seeing her act in – comedy.

Directed by Izzy Cohan, the video is a funny take on things one can do to help one relax, like meditation and deep-breathing exercises.

She also looks at journalling, before her pencil breaks and pen runs out of ink, home improvements before she falls off a ladder and breaks her leg, and lastly, finding a hobby like the Japanese art of paper folding – origami – before she gets a paper cut.

It's clear Mbedu's fans loved the video as it received close to 100 000 views and comments. 

Being_nomsa commented: "Loved this. Enjoyed the use of your natural persona".
