Like father, Like son: Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh earns law degree
Dr Sizwe recently graduated from the University of South Africa. Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh with his father, Dali Mpofu, at his graduation. Picture: Instagram/@sizwempofuwalsh Author, academic and broadcaster Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh has officially added another qualification to his name. He recently earned a law degree from the University of South Africa (UNISA), following in the footsteps of his father, Dali Mpofu, who is a prominent South African advocate and legal professional. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Dr Sizwe said completing his undergraduate law degree was one of the most demanding yet rewarding chapters of his life. 'I never planned to study law. Everyone thought I would because of my father, so I rebelled. But during the pandemic, while working on my second book, I found myself drawn into constitutional debates and discovered the quiet power of the law. I couldn't look away anymore,' he wrote. He added that transitioning from holding a doctorate in international relations to starting again as a law student was a humbling experience. ALSO READ: 'They should be embarrassed': Mpofu slams charges as disciplinary hearing postponed Balancing work, family and studies Dr Sizwe currently lectures in international relations at Wits University and is the founder of the popular current affairs YouTube channel SMWX. He said balancing a growing podcast, his academic duties, and parenthood while pursuing his law studies was one of the toughest professional challenges he has faced. 'I could never have known my son would be born during this journey, cheering me on in his small way as I moved from nappies to assignments, and back again. To share this moment with those I love has been the greatest gift,' he added. While he is not stepping into the courtroom just yet, he said his focus remains on academia and growing his podcast. 'But maybe one day, I'll stand before a court, adding my voice to a tradition that shaped me. This graduation felt special for all these reasons.'

Amor Vittone slams filter critics: 'People want to do what you do'
Amor Vittone – the widow of the late Joost van der Westhuzien – has clapped back against critics who called her out for using filters on images she posts on social media. The 53-year–old entertainer recently announced that she was working on new music. Speaking on Jacaranda FM last week, Amor Vittone responded to criticism surrounding her images posted on social media. She said: 'Secretly, people want to do what you do…but seemingly judging others. 'Listen, I'm going to use a filter. It's not about me wanting to look young again. But it's me wanting to give the best version of myself. She added, 'It's not about looking different; it's about enhancing what you have. You put on makeup, you do your hair. Confidence is key. And if I'm confident, and I feel pretty, that shines through!' Amor Vittone's youthful face has sparked social media commentary. Images via Facebook: @officialamorvittone While Amor Vittone has dated a plastic surgeon in the past, she has been adamant that she hasn't had any. Late last year, the mother of two shut down speculation about her appearance. In the comments section of one of her posts, she posted: 'Kan julle net relax! Nie Botox of fillers nie. [Can you relax! No botox or filler]. Instead, she credited her picture-perfect snaps to 'good make-up and lighting with slight filter.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
