WATCH: ‘A scammer trying to scam me as me'
Experts say there has been a significant rise in these types of cybercrimes in South Africa. Actress and producer Connie Ferguson recently took to Instagram to warn her followers after a scammer attempted to impersonate her. Scammers are increasingly using the names and images of public figures to deceive unsuspecting victims. From fake investment schemes to bogus giveaways, con artists are exploiting social media and messaging apps to pose as well-known personalities. 'Time for a short story,' Connie wrote, sharing screenshots and a video. She said she received a WhatsApp message from someone claiming to be 'Connie Ferguson'. When she checked the number on Truecaller, it appeared as 'Madonsela'. The scammer then video-called her using an old clip from a live workout session she had posted during lockdown. 'After a few seconds, they dropped the call and texted, 'You saw me, right?'' she said. Connie made it clear that she does not offer any investment opportunities and urged her followers to remain vigilant. 'Thieves are using AI to convince you that they are whoever they say they are. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Don't be manipulated into losing your common sense because times are hard.'

'This surge can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing number of techniques and tools available, the growing popularity of social media platforms, and the public's heightened trust in celebrities. 'It goes without saying that people often fall for 'get-rich-quick' schemes, especially when a 'celebrity' is encouraging them to get involved,' he said.

'Sorry mama': Minnie Dlamini comforts Rachel after emotional video
Media personality Minnie Dlamini comforted Rachel Kolisi, who became emotional in a TikTok video about co-parenting after divorce. Rachel announced her separation from Siya Kolisi last October and has since been adjusting to life as a single mother. In an unfiltered video, Rachel shared raw clips capturing her co-parenting journey's emotional highs and lows post-divorce. The video shows Rachel taking her two children, including Siya's sister Liphelo, to the airport to reunite with Siya. 'In the process of getting a divorce. And today was the first time my kids flew to see their dad without me. It was hard', she wrote. They later joined Siya in Gqeberha, where the Springboks are scheduled to play during the upcoming weekend. Throughout the day, Rachel became overwhelmed with emotion, shedding tears and even experiencing what she described as an 'anxiety attack.' To recharge, Rachel later booked a short getaway with her grandmother in hopes of lifting her mood and mental state. Offering support, Minnie Dlamini left a heartfelt message in the comments, simply saying, 'Sorry mama,' to comfort her publicly. In October 2024, Siya and Rachel announced their separation via a joint statement on Instagram, emphasising that their decision to separate was mutual and amicable. Together, Siya and Rachel have two children—Nicholas, who is 10, and Keziah, who is 7. They also adopted Siya's two younger siblings, Liyema and Liphelo, when they were children. On Valentine's Day, Rachel opened up about how she felt. The mother of four poured her heart out about parenting amid her divorce. 'This Valentine's Day, I made a brave decision, and it broke my heart all over again. Parenting when the world feels like it's crumbling around you is a different kind of challenge. And one I hope I'll never have to experience at this level again,' she wrote. 'Never been more grateful for the very few who showed up to support and lean in this week, especially. One day at a time felt too big this week, so I just did one hour at a time, and it kinda helped – I made it to Saturday! 😅❤️,' she said. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?

'I am appalled by how I behaved': Minnie Ntuli issues an apology
Minnie Ntuli has finally broken her silence after backlash over her behaviour on The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD). The Gagasi FM radio personality, who joined in season 5, upset many viewers due to her controversial on-screen conduct. She first clashed with Precious Udoya, accusing her of selling poor-quality wigs and mistreating employees at Precious Brand Hair. Later, Minnie had another clash with Londie London, shockingly accusing her of being a prostitute who 'makes money lying down'. In part two of the reunion, which aired Friday 11 July, unseen footage showed their heated fight turning physically aggressive. Following the backlash, Minnie released a statement apologising for her behaviour after calls to Gagasi FM demanding her dismissal. In the statement, she admits watching the show back was difficult, says she feels 'appalled' by her actions, and takes accountability. 'Over the past few weeks, I've had to come face-to-face with the impact of my actions on The Real Housewives of Durban. Watching the show back has been deeply confronting. I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability for the role I played,' read the statement. Minnie further reveals that she has apologised to the cast members affected. She also expresses her willingness to make amends for her behaviour. 'I want to sincerely apologise to the affected cast members. I know my actions hurt others, and for that, I am truly sorry. I have reached out to them privately and publicly, and I remain committed to making amends, including having face-to-face conversations if and when they are open to it.' In addition, Minnie states that she has met with Gagasi FM management, who have expressed disappointment in her conduct. As a result, she agrees to pursue professional counselling and take time off. 'While my work on radio and my presence on the show are two separate platforms, both Gagasi FM and I agree that it is important I take accountability. The station has expressed disappointment in my behaviour, and together we've agreed that I will seek professional counselling to address my emotional responses,' she said. The statement continues: 'This experience has made me realise the ripple effect of my behaviour, I've disappointed my family, my friends, my clients, and most importantly, the loyal listeners who tune in to my show every weekday.'
