'The first night I was there, the guy takes me to this fabulous restaurant and then after we're eating, he says 'come let me show you something',' shared Majimbo in a video. The model said her chaperone took her to an underground club, which she enjoyed. The campaign for which she came to South Africa was extended, meaning her time in the country would be longer. 'During my whole time, that's what I did, we went to like cool art galleries, we went to see all these artists do graffiti, like day parties—it was so cool, it was cool, beautiful people,' shared Majimbo. She said her time in South Africa was like an indie movie. 'When my trip was extended, I needed to go to Brazzaville, so I went to Brazzaville because I was doing a photo shoot with one of my friends, and then I fly back to South Africa a few days later,' she said. On the first day of her return to the country, she visited Blondies in Greenside with friends. After spending time at the popular bar, she decided to stay longer in South Africa. 'I remember us just like…my hair in the wind, my Fenty sunglasses, it was so cool. The music playing, Tems was blasting, it was amazing. And as I was there, I just thought to myself 'I'm not going back home'.' 'That night, I told my assistant to cancel my flight back home, I called my mom and dad… I told them: 'hey, I'm gonna stay in South Africa', and that is literally what I did. I learnt how to skate, I started an affair with a skater boy, I just stayed doing fun cool sh*t with fun cool people. It was literally an episode of Euphoria the whole time.' Majimbo has been based in the US after eventually leaving South Africa in 2021. NOW READ: Elsa Majimbo thanks South Africans for her meteoric rise

Everything You Need to Know About the 2026 Chevrolet Groove
Chevrolet has officially revealed the redesigned 2026 Chevrolet Groove, a modern compact SUV tailored for first-time buyers, young professionals, and families seeking practical mobility with style. This latest iteration marks a major evolution for the model, which has become a gateway for new customers in the region—92% of Groove buyers being first-time Chevrolet owners. With the 2026 version, Chevrolet strengthens its presence in the compact SUV segment by introducing a striking new design, upgraded trims, and enhanced focus on power, comfort, connectivity, and safety. The updated Groove reflects the brand's commitment to providing accessible and trustworthy transportation across key markets in the Middle East. Dynamic Design Meets Everyday Practicality The new Groove comes with a refreshed exterior that introduces a bold front grille, revised bumpers, and a more athletic silhouette. Available in two trims—LT and RS—the 2026 model adds a sportier flair, especially in the RS version which features a contrasting two-tone roof for added presence. Buyers can choose from six vivid exterior shades: Pearl White, Track Yellow, Tiger Blue, Glazed Red, Tungsten Grey, and Star Twinkle Black. Inside, the LT trim offers refined gray fabric seats, while the RS model steps up with black synthetic leather upholstery highlighted by red contrast stitching. Spacious Interior and Smart Versatility Inside, the 2026 Chevrolet Groove offers a comfortable five-passenger layout with generous legroom for both front and rear occupants. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats expand the cargo space up to 1,120 liters—ideal for everything from daily errands to weekend getaways. Next-Level Connectivity and Tech Integration A more seamless digital experience awaits in the new cabin. Both trims come standard with a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The RS trim further distinguishes itself with a 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster, compared to the 3.5-inch display in the LT variant. Performance that Balances Power and Efficiency Under the hood, the 2026 Groove houses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 145 hp and 255 Nm of torque. It's paired with a CVT transmission and front-wheel drive for a smooth and fuel-efficient ride that fits daily use and weekend adventures alike. Safety Features for a Confident Drive Prioritizing the needs of new and young drivers, Chevrolet has equipped the new Groove with a suite of essential safety features from the base model. These include multiple airbags, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. For those seeking extra reassurance, the RS trim adds the Chevy Safety Assist suite, offering advanced features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Intellibeam, and Intelligent Driving Assist. Chevrolet's Commitment to Ownership Satisfaction Chevrolet continues to back its vehicles with Chevrolet Complete Care, offering a robust aftersales service program that includes access to the brand's expansive regional service network. Every new Groove comes with a 3-year/100,000 km manufacturer warranty (whichever comes first), reinforcing Chevrolet's reliability promise.

The Best Greens Powders
I tried the Wild Strawberry Kiwi flavor of Groove, which tasted fantastic—fresh, sweet, bright—and the Ginger Peach flavor, which was a little spicy, a little sweet, and reminded me of a wellness juice shot. Both were delicious. One thing I will say is that the scoop design has a little groove on the back that collects powder and makes things a bit messy, so I recommend storing the scoop outside of the powder bag. It also took a little bit longer to dissolve than some other brands I tried. But it tastes like a mocktail or a bottled juice, not like a supplement. Each serving contains 20 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, your daily values of vitamins C and D, a ton of Vitamin B12, plus 8 percent of your daily iron. There are superfoods, vitamins, minerals, fiber (not much, but it's there), antioxidants, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. The brand touts Alpha GPC (a form of choline), freeze-dried coconut water, and of course the ever-buzzy superfoods like various grasses and spirulina. I noticed higher energy levels than with other greens powders I tried, less bloating, and happier digestion. Let it be known that these greens don't taste like fruits or veggies at all, really. If you want your greens to taste more green, another brand might be a better option. But for me, this hit the spot. This greens powder is very subtle. It's almost unflavored, both the plain version and the Wild Berry version. The instructions aren't super clear—the packaging says to add a scoop to juice, water, or milk. I mixed mine with 10 ounces of water and it was fine. It didn't taste great and it didn't taste bad. It's vaguely earthy, a little sweet, but mostly neutral. Because of that, I think this is the best candidate for mixing into other drinks. You'll get a kick of 'healthy' flavor without risking overpowering whatever it is you're drinking. Each serving contains 25 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein, 3 grams of dietary fiber, a bunch of vitamins (including K, A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and B5), folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, iodine … the list goes on. The brand lists each ingredient and the reasons for inclusion on the website, a deep dive that I appreciate (though again, these are not regulated by the FDA). You'll get probiotics. You'll get enzymes. You'll get the superest of superfoods. I noticed higher energy levels and a healthier-feeling gut. If you already have a morning smoothie routine going, or you want something that tastes healthy without tasting like straight-up grass, I think adding in this powder makes sense.
