IDOLS: SOUTH AFRICA contestent Siyakha Tshayela has been withdrawn from the 2016 season of the show with effect from 15th September 2016 as a result of a dispute between herself and an independent recording company.

In a statement released by MNET head of publicity for local channels Nondumiso Mabece on Thursday evening, "participants are required to sign an exclusive recording deal with the Idols-appointed recording label when they enter the series".

"On the 1st of August, Ms. Tshayela informed us that she had entered into discussions with an independent recording company before entering Idols, but she maintained there was no contract in place. The recording company insists there is," reads the statement. 

According to the channel, discussions have been held with all the affected parties since then, but there is still no resolution for the hopeful singer who impressed many with her solo performance rendition of hitmaker Beyonce's Irreplaceable during the theatre phase of the competition. She was part of top 16 contestants waiting to hear their fate in the Top 10 this Sunday night. 

"Due to conditions stipulated by the Idols format rights holder, we are unable to continue with a contestant that is currently involved in a legal dispute of this nature.  Ms. Tshayela is therefore not able to continue as a contestant. Mzansi Magic and Idols producers wish her all the best with her music career," concluded the statement. - release by MNET

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.
