🚨ELECTION WATCH🚨
"The Ground Is Fertile in Ward 33"

Ward 33 in the City of Mbombela is shaping up to be one of the more closely watched contests on 4 November — three candidates, three very different pitches, one seat.

Prudence Nelisiwe Zungeni (ANC) is running as "the people's candidate," leaning on the ANC's long-standing organisational base in the ward and framing her campaign around continuity and grassroots trust.

Yvonne Mahlalela (EFF) carries the red beret into Ward 33, positioning the EFF as the disruptor option for voters who feel the status quo hasn't delivered — a familiar EFF playbook of framing every local race as part of a bigger fight.

Muntuza Makathu (Service Delivery Party) rounds out the field as the newer name, running on a single, blunt promise baked into her party's very name: service delivery. For a ward like many in Mbombela — where water, roads and refuse collection are everyday talking points — that pitch is a direct appeal to voters tired of promises without follow-through.
Three parties, three strategies, and a ward that's clearly seen as competitive enough for all of them to fight for. Whether the ground is as "fertile" as the headline claims will come down to turnout on 4 November.

Phumla Music’s Moment of Grace: Basadi Nomination and a Night to Remember Ahead

For Phumla Music , this is a season of affirmation, growth and well-deserved recognition. The gifted singer has reached another meaningful milestone in her journey after earning a nomination at the Basadi Awards, a proud achievement that reflects both her talent and the steady rise of her musical career.

In an industry where consistency, authenticity and dedication are often tested, a Basadi Awards nomination stands as a powerful acknowledgment of an artist’s impact. For Phumla Music, it is a moment that celebrates not only her voice and artistry, but also the work she has invested in building a name rooted in passion, purpose and excellence. It is a recognition that places her among women who continue to shape and inspire through their craft.

Yet even as she celebrates this honour, Phumla Music’s eyes remain fixed on the road ahead. Excitement is already building around her upcoming event, One Night with Phumla Music, which promises to offer audiences an unforgettable evening of song, connection and heartfelt performance. More than a concert, the event is expected to be a showcase of her musical journey — an intimate reflection of the sound, spirit and message that have earned her growing admiration.

For supporters and followers of her work, the timing could not be more fitting. The Basadi nomination marks a moment of national recognition, while One Night with Phumla Music offers a chance to witness the artist behind the achievement in a setting that celebrates both her music and her story. Together, the two milestones speak to an artist entering a new chapter with grace and confidence.

As Phumla Music continues to rise, this moment feels like more than a celebration of one nomination or one event. It is a reflection of a career steadily unfolding with purpose, and of an artist whose journey is only beginning to reach new heights. For Phumla Music, the spotlight is not simply shining — it is settling exactly where it belongs.

WHY ARE THERE NO BLACK PLAYERS IN ARGENTINA'S TEAM? THE QUESTION DIVIDING FOOTBALL FANS
GROOVA NEWS | SPORTS & CULTURE

Argentina may be world champions and home to some of football's biggest stars, but one question continues to spark debate across the globe: Why are Black players almost never seen in the country's national team? As football fans compare Argentina to diverse football giants such as Brazil, France and England, many are asking whether history, culture or something deeper is behind the striking lack of representation.
Experts point to Argentina's unique history, where Afro-Argentine communities became largely invisible in the national narrative despite their contributions to the country's development. While there is no evidence of an official policy excluding Black players, critics argue that the absence of Black faces in the national team reflects a broader conversation about race, identity and inclusion in Argentine society.
The debate has gained even more attention as football authorities continue to battle racism across the sport. For many observers, Argentina's team remains a symbol of football excellence, but also a reminder of uncomfortable questions that refuse to disappear. Is it simply demographics, or does the story go much deeper? The discussion is far from over.

MK Party axe falls on Nhlamulo Ndhlela and Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla

The MK Party has officially expelled Nhlamulo Ndhlela and Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, marking another dramatic chapter in the party’s growing internal battles. The party says the two were removed for conduct that allegedly undermined unity, discipline and organisational cohesion, following weeks of tension, suspensions and public fallout inside the Jacob Zuma-led movement.

In a twist of political irony, the expulsions come after the same party machinery was used against Floyd Shivambu — a move that Ndhlela and Duduzile had strongly reacted to at the time. Now, the very disciplinary hammer they watched fall on Floyd has landed on them too. Duduzile responded soon after the decision, taking aim at party leadership and suggesting the constitution of the movement was being ignored, a sign that the MK Party’s internal war is far from over.
