And that is what rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes did in his latest video The World Is Yours where he features his girlfriend, radio and television personality Bonang Matheba.  This is a tried and tested method in the music industry as many celebs gang up with their lovers and give their fans a taste of their relationship using their music videos.

And this won't be a first feature for Bonang as she also had a cameo role in AKA's   Jealousy  music video back in 2012. Rapper AKA featured Bonang Matheba in his Jealousy music video in 2012.

Struggle stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela up for a Feather Award this year. PICTURE: Timeslive WITHOUT a doubt the cheekiest 8 year old on the block, the Chevrolet Feather Awards are back once again to celebrate public figures who’ve shocked, inspired, amused and thrilled the LGBTI community. And this time you can vote for your favourite personality to win a gong.  Founded as a tongue in cheek ceremony that cast light on issues that faced the LGBTI community in South Africa, while humorously honouring public figures across a range of unconventional categories, the Feathers have grown into one of the most highly anticipated features of the events calendar. The event has enjoyed partnerships with a range of brands over the years, most noteably with vehicle company Chevrolet from their inception, and more recently in 2015, with the Other Foundation, an African trust that advances equality and freedom in southern Africa with a particular focus on sexual orientation and ...

FASHIONISTAS always overlook the men when it comes to red carpet style. Unless they are in pink and overly flashy then the chances of them even getting a mention are always really scarce. But let’s do the opposite and assess what the men wore at the 22 nd South African Music Awards although there are no promises of surprises with the lads. Rapper AKA. PICTURE: GabPostSA Most played it safe with the black tie, not the theme, but yes a black suit with a tie look which always gets everyone yawning but we got to give to rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes for pulling off that Tiger of Sweden suit. He walked the red carpet with a huge entourage and his bestie Da Les aka North God, and yes we did notice the gold grill in our beloved AKA's controversial mouth.  Expresso host Katlego Maboe.

About two years ago president Yoweri Museveni of Uganda signed a law that not only outlawed homosexual acts, but also compelled citizens to report suspected homosexual activity to the police, triggering increased levels of prejudice, violence and discrimination against the gay community. Yesterday Timeslive reported that gay rights activists took to social media to slam the TV personality for agreeing to host the 2nd year of these awards, "despite the fact that she has been known to keep a close-knit circle of homosexual friends, including her make-up artist Muzi Zuma, who she often travels with". Hoping that Bonang...
