#SHOWBIZ: Emma Watson banned from driving for six months after speeding offence
OXFORD: British actress Emma Watson has been banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding in Oxford. The 35-year-old, widely recognised for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film franchise, was recorded driving at 38mph (61km/h) in a 30mph (48km/h) zone on the evening of July 31, 2024. At a brief five-minute hearing held on Wednesday at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court, it was revealed that Watson already had nine penalty points on her licence before this incident. The recent speeding offence brought her total to 12 points, which, under UK law, results in an automatic driving disqualification, typically lasting six months. Watson, who is currently pursuing her studies, did not attend the hearing. In addition to the driving ban, she was ordered to pay a total of £1,044 (RM5,947), covering a fine, court costs, and a victim surcharge. Under UK traffic regulations, accumulating 12 or more penalty points within a three-year period usually triggers an automatic disqualification, unless exceptional circumstances can be proven – which was not the case in this instance.

‘I'm human too' — Shauwn ‘MaMkhize' Mkhize asks for respect
Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize wants people to think before dragging her name through mud. The controversial businesswoman and reality TV star has been in turmoil since a raid was conducted by the SA Revenue Service for falling behind on taxes in November 2024 and her exit from former Premier Soccer League team Royal AM FC, which was auctioned off in a bid to recoup her reported R40m tax debt. Recently she was falsely linked to businessman Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala by Ian Cameron during a parliamentary briefing. During a recent sit down on 947 with Robert Marawa, MamKhize said despite Ian having apologised, she felt 'he was trying to get relevance' and needed to give a 'proper' public apology to clear her name. MaMkhize said she wished people didn't overlook the fact that she is human and would respect her feelings when sharing their opinions about her. 'I so wish people can understand I am human. As much as I can look like an iron lady, sometimes it hurts. I'd really love for anyone who decides to write or say anything about me to check their facts because at the end of the day I'm a mother, I've got kids, I've got grandkids, I'm human. 'Yes, I might be this jolly jumpy looks untouchable person, but I'm human. There are so many people who look up to me. If only people can understand I am part of liberation, and I've created a lot of jobs for people. Sometimes when things affect me, before it comes to me first, it affects a lot of people.'
