Coach doesn’t give a toss about IPL final, serves SA cricketers in India a yorker
Oh, honey, grab your cappuccino and let’s spill the tea on this week’s hottest Mzansi moments, Shwashwi style! The streets of South Africa are buzzing, and your girl’s got the lowdown on all the glam, drama, and jaw-dropping shenanigans.
First up, the pageant world got a shake-up when Miss South Africa 2024, Mia le Roux, pulled out of Miss Supranational 2025 in Poland. The announcement had fans clutching their pearls, with the Miss SA organisation citing “heartfelt gratitude”, but no juicy details. Shwashwi’s sniffing around – could it be a scheduling clash or something spicier? Mia was spotted slaying at the Metro FM Music Awards nominee bash in Sandton, so she’s clearly not hiding under a rock. Spill, sis, we need answers!
Meanwhile, the sports scene’s serving tension thicker than a soapie plot. Cricket South Africa’s head coach Shukri Conrad dropped a bombshell, demanding all 20 Proteas stars in the IPL 2025 return home by May 26.
With the IPL final pushed to June 3 due to India-Pakistan drama, the BCCI’s in a pickle. Shwa’s cackling – imagine those cricketers jetting back mid-tournament! Nandre Burger is already swapped in for Rajasthan Royals, replacing injured Sandeep Sharma. Talk about a power move!
On the music front, Mzansi’s shining bright with BET 2025 nods for Tyla, Maglera Doe Boy and Dlala Thukzin. Tyla’s global takeover continues, but Shwashwi’s side-eyeing the competition – can our girl snag the win? And let’s not sleep on the festival vibes: Doja Cat’s set to headline Hey Neighbour in August, marking her first SA performance. Cape Town’s Jerk x Jollof fest with Uncle Waffles and DBN Gogo had amapiano fans losing their minds. Yassis, the culture’s thriving!
But the real gag? The rugby sevens scene, where South Africa’s men clinched the HSBC SVNS 2025 title in LA, beating Spain 19-5. The lads celebrated like rock stars, and Shwashwi’s here for the victory glow.
From pageant plot twists to cricket chaos and music slayage, Mzansi’s serving looks and drama. Keep your eyes peeled, darlings – Shwashwi’s always watching!
