Additionally, the Amapiano artist's team shared the cellphone numbers used by the fake management team. The team further clarified that all legitimate bookings and engagements for Momo go through them (TSquared Productions), and warned fans and promoters to verify any inquiries through official channels. Meanwhile, Momo received a nod from Canadian rapper Drake during his headlining set at the Wireless Festival, which took place from July 11 to 13. Drake gave a shoutout to the 'Amalobolo' hitmaker for helping him flip one of his chart-topping singles, 'Controlla', into an Amapiano mix, which was followed by him playing it and performing for the attending crowd. 'I hope you enjoy it. Shout out to Kelvin Momo, he helped me flip this tonight,' Drake said. This is not the first time the rapper has recognised the South African sensation. Drake had noticed Kelvin Momo before as they first connected in 2023 when Drake sent Momo a private message, praising his talent. He said listening to Momo's music was like a 'religious experience' and that Momo was 'from another planet'.

Next Stay Close ✕ The first episodes showcased renowned local singer Jarrad Ricketts viewing a sensational Camps Bay villa for his family vacation. This multi-story property in one of the Mother City's most exclusive suburbs featured uninterrupted views from all angles of the house, leaving the entertainer insisting that his wife will come around to the whopping R50 000 per night price tag. Meanwhile, fans of the show have also been able to enjoy glimpses of an impeccably designed Bishop's Court modern farmhouse as well as a mindblowing penthouse, which seeks to be the best of its kind on the African continent and was built to resemble a yacht, in the new season. Its latest offering has also seen the introduction of new agents, which include Wendy Khumalo, Neteske Gavin, Romy-Leé Ferreira and Dael Dyer. They join familiar favourites such as Byron Louw, Kim Tresfon and Jonathan Tannous return to the show, promising a diverse mix of personalities and strategies that could either charm or clash throughout the season. Meanwhile, one of the most notable comments shared by many of the agents on the series was just how high the demand for property is in the city. Property director Warrick Wiegand, who makes an appearance on the show, believes that: 'The reason why the Cape Town property market is so alluring is because everybody has started to realise just what a world-class city on any scale Cape Town is. 'The demand has got to a point where it far surpasses the supply. From an international standpoint, Cape Town is exceptionally underpriced and undervalued and still has much more room for growth.' Meanwhile, Louw, a popular figure who has appeared on previous seasons, shared similar sentiments. 'I think it is a cosmopolitan mix of things that keeps Cape Town as a top contender, such as the favourable exchange rate, steady foreign investment and local attractions matching world-class standards.' As more episodes of the new season of 'Listing Cape Town' drop weekly, Louw is thrilled for viewers to witness what the series still has in store for them. 'Besides all the gorgeous views and the luxury living, I am personally very excited for viewers to see a younger set of buyers breaking into the property market and forging their unique path.' The top deck of the yacht-resembled looking penthouse. Image: Instagram Louw elaborated that some of the other season highlights will be scouting for a client in Brazil and flying over to Rio De Janeiro to seal the deal. Wiegand added: 'We featured the world-famous, one and only Stefan Antoni in our iconic Camps Bay listing that he designed.' He said that the acclaimed architect also details his insightful thoughts on the home from an architectural point of view. The property director also promised viewers that the latest installment will include: 'New agents, bigger negotiations, better properties and an all-round must add to your weekly calendar overall.' Meanwhile, Louw believes that the high-end real estate agents on the show are what makes it so popular. 'In my opinion, the show remains a hit because of the diverse set of agents, all at the top of their game, who bring their own unique approach to deal-making.' On what he thinks will surprise viewers the most about the new season, Louw said: 'We were able to top property prices and still have them selling so swiftly. Just when you think Cape Town has plateaued, the market will surprise you.' ∎ Watch new episodes of 'Listing Cape Town' season 3 on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC Lifestyle (DStv channel 174).

Chic beauty on a budget: Essential tips for affordable glam
Simplicity is key for a chic look. Image: Anastasia Kazakova / Freepik Looking good doesn't have to mean spending half your salary on beauty products. In fact, some of the most effortlessly chic people out there rely on smart habits, not expensive products. It's all about knowing where to spend, where to save, and how to use what you already have in clever ways. If you're trying to upgrade your beauty routine without draining your bank account, here's how to look polished, confident, and put-together using affordable tricks that really work. Healthy skin comes first Great makeup starts with great skin. Instead of chasing the latest skincare trends, stick to the basics that actually matter. Cleanse gently, moisturise daily, and never skip sunscreen. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration and niacinamide for smooth, even skin. You can boost circulation and glow with a quick face massage while applying your moisturiser. It's free, feels good, and gives your skin an instant lift. Budget tip: Instead of buying pricey serums, try natural oils like rosehip or jojoba, which can hydrate, nourish, and even double as a makeup remover. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Great makeup starts with good skin. Image: Angela Roma / Pexels Focus on brows and lips Well-shaped brows and a pop of colour on your lips can make a huge difference. They frame your face and give you that "I made an effort" look, even when the rest of your makeup is minimal. Try a tinted brow gel to shape and fill in your brows quickly, and choose a lip colour that makes you feel confident. Soft pinks, warm browns, or classic berry shades are flattering and timeless. Smart buy: Affordable brow pencils and lipsticks often perform just as well as those luxury brands. Well-shaped brows can make a huge difference. Image: Tima Miroshnichenko / Pexels Use products that do double duty Streamlining your makeup routine makes everything easier and more budget-friendly. Opt for multi-use products, such as cream blushes that can double as lip tints, or bronzers that also serve as eyeshadow. Using fewer products creates a more cohesive look and cuts down on clutter. Tip: Use your fingers to apply cream products for a natural finish that blends seamlessly into your skin. Find your signature You don't need to master every beauty trend. Choose one feature to highlight and make it your signature, whether it be glowing skin, a bold lip, a flick of eyeliner, or fluttery lashes. Doing one thing consistently well gives you a polished, personal look that feels intentional and stylish. Practice your go-to technique until it's second nature. That way, even on rushed mornings, you'll know exactly how to pull yourself together quickly. Highlight your lips with a pop of colour. Image: Anna Shvets / Pexels Hair makes a difference Don't underestimate the power of neat, shiny hair. Whether you wear it natural, straightened, or in a protective style, keeping it clean and well-moisturised adds to your overall polish. Simple styles like a sleek bun, low ponytail, or braided crown can look effortlessly chic with minimal effort. Budget hack: DIY hair masks using pantry staples like coconut or olive oil can add shine and softness without salon prices. Keep nails neat You don't need a fresh gel mani every week. Short, clean nails with a clear coat or neutral polish can look just as elegant. If you're up for it, try press-on nails. They're affordable, reusable, and come in a variety of stylish options. Short clean nails always look classy. Image: Linda Prebreza / Pexels IOL Lifestyle Get your news on the go, click here to join the IOL News WhatsApp channel.
