Christall posted, ' You know I am always the dancing queen 👸 🕺👯💃Thanks @somizi and @metrofmsa for the awesome jive!!
It was a weekend to remember on Metro FM's #Sounds Good Breakfast Show. Celebrity choreographer and radio host Somizi Mhlongo invited Real Housewives of Johannesburg star Christall Kay into the studio. He brought out her inner dancing queen.
ABBA moves
In true Somizi style, the moment wasn't just an interview; it became a full-blown performance.
The award-winning entertainer, choreographer to the stars, and reality TV icon whipped up a short and sassy routine. The routine was set to 'Dancing Queen' by iconic European group ABBA.
The track brought big nostalgic vibes, and the duo delivered with flair.

Somizi and Christall performed the routine live on-air. Co-hosts Andile Ncube, Zola Mhlongo, and Keorapetse Hlope joined in, turning the studio into a spontaneous dance floor.
Listeners loved every second, and social media lit up with clips of the impromptu performance.
Christall, who's made headlines for her bold dance moves and glam fashion on Ultimate Girls Trip, didn't hold back. In Jamaica, they called her Britney Spears while she trended on TikTok.
This little jig proved she can still bring it on the dance floor.
Dancing with the best
But getting to dance with Somizi? That's next level.
With a resume that includes choreographing for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony, Idols SA, and countless stage productions, Somizi is a master at bringing the heat. 'Yass girl !' he joked as Christall, who later wore a tiara, nailed the routine.
The chemistry, the moves, and the music made for a showstopping Metro FM moment. It served as a reminder that live radio is still where the magic happens.

Family First makes a soulful return to the Amapiano scene with 'Intombi Yam'

Family First makes a powerful return to the Amapiano scene with the release of 'Intombi Yam,' a soulful single crafted alongside Zeenhle and Sykes that's already capturing hearts and setting the dance floors ablaze. Hailing from the vibrant city of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, Amapiano producer and entrepreneur Nzuzo Ndlovu, popularly known as Family First, continues to rise in South Africa's music scene. Reflecting on his journey into the Amapiano genre, Family First describes it as one filled with valuable lessons. 'The road hasn't always been smooth, but every bump has taught me something and helped me grow,' he shared. It's this growth, paired with his passion for slow-paced, soulful sounds, that fuels his creativity as a producer. The artist says his deep love for music is what led him to create soundscapes that resonate emotionally with his audience, a signature style now synonymous with his brand. 'I enjoy creating emotional music, something people can learn from or be positively impacted by. While I've done fast-paced tracks before, my heart lies in slow, soulful sounds. I believe love songs and emotional music have greater longevity and a deeper impact on people's lives,' said Family First. The artist shared that his latest single Intombi Yam is a heartfelt tribute to love and cultural pride. He explained that the track draws inspiration from the traditional practice of uLobola and the meaningful gesture of introducing one's partner to the family. ' Intombi Yam is about appreciating and loving your partner, and embracing the culture of uLobola . It's a celebration of women and the respect they deserve,' he said. He also noted that Intombi Yam marks a fresh musical direction for him. Unlike his earlier work, which leaned more towards fast-paced or mainstream Amapiano, this track blends groovy basslines with melodic and soulful rhythms, a sound he's proud to call his own. 'It's groovy, melodic, and soulful, something I haven't done before or heard from others. I always aim to create a unique identity in my sound,' he added. The single has already garnered positive reactions from fans and fellow artists alike. With radio airplay and growing interest in collaborations, Family First says the momentum around Intombi Yam signals an exciting chapter in his musical journey. The producer also reflected on how collaborations with artists like Mawhoo, Zeh McGeba, and Mthokozisi Ndaba have influenced his artistic evolution. He credited each artist for bringing unique qualities that pushed him to grow and refine his craft. 'Working with Mawhoo opened me up emotionally; her powerful, soulful vocals made me realise how important it is to connect deeply with the listener,' he said. 'Zeh McGeba brought a raw, streetwise edge that sharpened my rhythm and lyrical instincts, reminding me to stay rooted in the culture. 'Mthokozisi Ndaba challenged me to focus on storytelling; he helped me see music not just as sound, but as a meaningful narrative.' He added that these collaborations have helped him become more intentional and versatile in his work. "I'm truly grateful for what each of them brought to the table. They've all poured something real into the music, and that's helped shape who I am as an artist today." Family First recalled a standout moment in the studio when he and his team experimented by combining Maskandi and Amapiano sounds. The creative session led to the playful invention of a new genre they called 'Maskandiano.' The track became one of his most unique works, marking a bold step outside his usual style and highlighting his passion for musical innovation. The Amapiano producer is gearing up to release a new EP later this year, expected around September or October. The project features a mix of soulful and groovy Amapiano tracks, with standout songs like Ndiyoyika , featuring Miss Twiggy, and Inombolo , a collaboration with Zino 33, Zema Geber, and Senzo. He shared that his music is deeply rooted in themes of love, family, friendship, and respect. Each track is crafted to take listeners on a journey that celebrates emotional connections and meaningful values, a reflection of the kind of impact he hopes to leave through his artistry.

‘You can tell she doesn't know where Thando is' — Sister of missing ex-footballer challenges girlfriend's claim

Mngomeni is reportedly missing, with family members concerned about his whereabouts. However, his lover claims he's alive and well. Former professional footballer Thando Mngomeni is reportedly missing, with family members worried about his whereabouts. However, according to a woman who claims to be his lover, the former Sundowns midfielder has not gone AWOL. 'Thando is not missing. Andile, these people are trying to frustrate me. Thando is alright, he's eating cheesecake, he's fine,' said Palesa speaking on Metro FM's Sports Night Amplified With Andile Ncube. A missing person flyer featuring the former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder's face has been circulating on social media for the past few days, stating that he has not been seen in more than a month. However, the former footballer's sister disputes the statement. 'She's a liar. You can tell that she doesn't know where Thando is. She's joking and playing around, saying she and Thando are eating cheesecake. This is a serious matter,' Mngomeni's sister, Pat Maki told The Citizen on Wednesday. ALSO READ: Nonku clarifies fallout with Jojo: 'My statement was taken out of context' 'She's just doing this to get attention' Pat said she last saw Mngomeni the day after Youth Day. 'I never saw him after that, and I asked around, and nobody knows his whereabouts. He doesn't have a phone,' said Pat. 'The last time I spoke with him, on the 17th of June, he said he was waiting for his friend, Musa. So I asked Musa, and he also said he last saw him [Mngomeni] that day.' An emotional Pat said that this coming weekend will be three months since their father died, with a family ceremony set to commemorate his passing. 'But Thando is nowhere to be found,' shared Pat. She added that Palesa was doing all of this for clout. 'She's just doing this to get attention. This is a serious matter, we are worried as a family.' According to Pat, the family went to the police, but they were advised to first search for him in hospitals and mortuaries. 'We did that yesterday, and we are planning on going to the police and opening a case today, since we couldn't find him at the hospital and at any of the mortuaries.'

Referring to herself in the third person, Palesa described herself as Mngomeni's woman. 'Palesa is a Thando [Mngomeni's] woman, beloved woman,' she said. She denied that she and Mngomeni have split up, 'If Thando wasn't alright, I would call them [Mngomeni's family] and tell them that there's a problem. We're happy, we are eating cheesecake.' Palesa said Mngomeni was in Cape Town and would be flying to Joburg 'very soon'. She claimed to have last spoken to the former footballer on Tuesday morning. When Ncube asked Pat about Palesa, she was unsure of the state of the pair's relationship. 'She's his ex… I don't know what's going on between the two, and I don't want to dwell on it,' said Pat. She added that Mngomeni didn't pack a bag or take one when he left. 'He's used to leaving for about two weeks or so; we'd know where he is. Maybe the Eastern Cape or Joburg. But now no one knows where he is.' NOW READ: Sbongiseni Shezi: 'These are answered prayers but they don't look the way that I anticipated'
