Tirelo Kale spills the tea on her parents' refusal of Mpumelelo Mseleku's proposal

Izingane Zes'thembu's Tirelo Kale shares her emotional journey following the rejection of Mpumelelo Mseleku's lobola proposal by her parents. Image: Instagram Mpumelelo Mseleku, the son of renowned businessman and polygamist Musa Mseleku, shocked many viewers when he paid lobola for his second girlfriend, 21-year-old Amahle Casela, before his first girlfriend, Tirelo Kale. On the latest episode of 'Izingane Zes'thembu', which aired on Sunday, July 13, Mseleku visited the Casela family with his uncles to pay lobola (bride price), leaving Kale in the dark. Following in his polygamist father's footsteps, Mseleku has also started his journey by paying lobola for his second girlfriend. This automatically makes her the first wife, despite Kale being in the picture first. Kale was left feeling upset upon discovering that the second girlfriend would be getting married before her. During the episode, Mseleku revealed that the reason Casela will become the first wife is that Kale's parents did not allow the lobola negotiations to start. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Kale recently addressed her fans on Instagram Live, discussing her parents' rejection of Mseleku's lobola proposal. The 25-year-old's parents cited concerns about her incomplete qualification, unemployment, and the relationship issues she and Mseleku have as reasons for their decision. In an interview with 'Independent Media Lifestyle', leading up to the airing of the reality TV show, Kale opened up about the cracks forming in her relationship with Mseleku. The young mother candidly discussed her turbulent relationship with Mseleku, revealing that she was unaware of the cracks forming. 'I honestly didn't see the cracks forming in our relationship,' she said. 'It really seemed solid until it wasn't. The betrayal … wow, I genuinely didn't expect it,' she said. Since the reality show aired, Mseleku and Kale's relationship has been more rocky than rosy, marked by constant disagreements. Mseleku's growing focus on his new relationship with Casela has seemingly taken centre stage, leaving Kale feeling neglected and abandoned, further straining their already tumultuous partnership.

Lloyiso, Shekhinah and more electrify Stella Artois Soirée

Johannesburg turned into the ultimate playground of sound and style as the Stella Artois Soirée: Tennis Edition lit up Saturday. With Wimbledon in full swing, the Tennis Edition brought fashion, flavour, and live music together for an unforgettable cultural celebration. Lloyiso's vocals soared, Shekhinah surprised the crowd, and fans danced courtside in a festival that felt proudly South African. While London had Centre Court, Joburg had its moment at James & Ethel Gray Park, and it came with vocals. From the start, the Stella Artois Soirée was more than an event; it became the pulse of the weekend. Lloyiso opened with soul-shaking emotion, drawing a crowd hungry for something intimate but electric, cool but filled with heart. Ami Faku followed, her honeyed vocals flowing through the crowd like a summer breeze across the lawn. Manana took the mic and magic followed, 'It felt like performing for a city that wanted to celebrate itself,' he said. Azana's set turned unforgettable when Big Zulu joined her, causing the crowd to erupt into cheers and grab their phones. The day hit a sonic peak with Shekhinah's unannounced appearance, proving why she's one of the country's most acclaimed performers. Every set found the sweet spot between cool grooves and soul-stirring moments that had fans dancing and swaying in sync. 'This edition of The Soirée captured everything we love about Joburg right now, its creativity, its elegance, its expressive edge,' said Estee Burger, Marketing Manager at Stella Artois. 'And with the Wimbledon Finals as our backdrop, it gave tennis culture a distinctly South African twist as a moment worth more,' she said, The music was on fire-but the style? Pure fashion grand slam with Joburg's trendsetters going bold and unapologetically expressive. Creative force Keneilwe Mothoa dropped a limited tennis-inspired capsule that turned heads and celebrated everyday street couture with flair. Her looks didn't whisper—they shouted self-expression, giving guests permission to go all in with elevated sports-luxe confidence. Everywhere you turned, there was a look: bold prints, visor chic, crisp whites, and metallic accents owning the park runway. Fashion wasn't a sideshow; it stood equal with the beats, the vibe, the culture, and the Stella in hand.
