 It’s been a busy week in entertainment, with big moves in music, a major development in one of hip-hop’s longest-running murder cases, another update on Diddy’s prison sentence, and a first look at what’s coming in the next season of one of Mzansi’s biggest television productions.

Locally, Thabo Smol, best known as one half of Black Motion, is stepping into a new chapter as his solo album, Di Thupa Tsa Smol, goes up for Grammy consideration. Meanwhile, nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas, former gang leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been sentenced to at least 40 years in prison for the rapper’s murder. And for fans of historical drama, Shaka iLembe has offered a first glimpse of its third season, although South African viewers are still waiting for a confirmed release date. We unpack the stories making headlines in entertainment with Palesa Moditambi who is the Founder of Esa Media and a Celebrity Publicist.

We are hanging out with Moyake, an Afro-soul singer-songwriter from Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape, whose music is rooted in soulful melodies, authenticity and heartfelt storytelling.

With over nine years of choral experience, including performing with the KZN-Midlands Youth Choir, Moyake has developed a sound that brings together vocal discipline, musicality and emotional depth. She writes her own music, often beginning the creative process with an acoustic guitar, and has performed at festivals and live music events across South Africa.

Her breakthrough single, Azange, introduced her to a wider national audience, earning playlist support and chart recognition. Moyake joins us to talk about her musical journey and the stories behind her music.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions, COSATU, recently announced its newest leadership but the most important question was not only who will take the reins, but what direction will they chart for COSATU? Will the newly elected leadership be able to strengthen the federation’s voice, rebuild workers’ confidence and ensure that the interests of ordinary working South Africans remain at the centre of its agenda?

For a labour movement that has played a significant role in South Africa’s political and economic history, this conference comes at a time when workers are grappling with unemployment, rising living costs, job insecurity and concerns about the future of collective bargaining.

We are in conversation with Political Analyst, Thamsanqa Malinga.
