​

That’s the claim by Celebville sources who said the former kwaito hitmaker’s life was changed dramatically by a car downgrade . . . and a love break.

Sources close to Msawawa said his love journey with older tycoon lady, Angela Gwala, recently hit a rocky stretch.

One source claimed: “He used to drive expensive cars, but Angela took all the cars away as they were her property. She owns a car hire company.

“Now he’s driving a Polo 1.6 which belongs to his elder sister. He’s not making a lot of money. He sometimes gets gigs but usually at small events.”

Another mole said: “They should have been married by now. But things aren’t going so well with them.”

This informant claimed Angela read Msawawa the riot act after rumours that he’d been playing away from home.

His friends claim that Msawawa has been trying to please Angela – but she’s allegedly showing her Ben 10 the cold shoulder.

One industry insider claimed: “Msawawa has been begging Angela to forgive him, but it seems the businesswoman has had enough.”

Sunday Sun quizzed Msawawa’s dad, known as Bab’ Dlamini. He refused to talk, saying his son would blame him if anything was revealed in the media.

“I’m sorry, I can’t comment,” Bab’ Dlamini said. “Please talk to him. He knows what’s going on.”

When the SunTeam called Angela, she said she and Msawawa haven’t broken up – they’re just “taking a break”.

Msawawa couldn’t be reached for comment. He didn’t respond to our SMSes.

The South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) in the North West province expressed concerns about allegations that the mineral resources department was involved in “Capture of Mines” around Rustenburg for the benefit of the Gupta Company, JIC Mining Services using political connections.

Provincial chairperson, Paul Sebegoe said this follows the closure of four mining shafts in the area over the past three months.

“We call on the Office of the Public Protector to investigate the issuing of Section 54 notices to mines that have given JIC notice to terminate its contracts due to financial non-compliance.

“We are therefore sending a strong warning to Minister Mosebenzi Zwane that we are fully aware of the shenanigans taking place since his arrival at the department. We are warning him to desist from his agenda as he will be met with fierce resistance from communities around mining areas,” he highlighted.

Sebegoe vowed that SANCO will fight the victimization of the mines using state resources. He added that it was not a coincidence that when JIC related contracts are for review, there was a sudden pressure from Mineral and Energy department on issues of compliance.

“SANCO will not tolerate the livelihood of communities to be compromised at the expense of the quest of those who seek to capture mines for the benefit of the politically connected few. The closure of the shafts will result in retrenchments and job losses that will negatively affect the local economy and communities.

“These mines are the only remaining source of livelihood for communities within the mining area. We will not allow anyone to mess with them. We still have unresolved issues with mining communities being deprived ownership shares and expect the state to protect our interests instead of advancing the interest of a few politically connected individuals at the expense of workers and our communities,” he underscored.

Sebegoe said they fully support maximization of safety measures and it cannot be a coincidence that when JIC related contracts were being reviewed, then suddenly mines are being issued with section 54 notices.

“This is a clear abuse of political power and it will not be tolerated,” he said emphatically.

Sebegoe alleged that the strategy was to pressurise mining companies such as Royal Platinum Mines to work at a loss so that they are forced to sell-off mines that have a future with rich ore body. He also alleged that section 54 notices that was uplifted on the August 11, was invoked the next day.

Maize Cup 

Result: Platinum Stars 0-0 Orlando Pirates  (Pirates won 3-1 on penalties)

Date: 13 August 2016 

Venue: Moruleng Stadium

Felipe Ovono proved to be the hero for Orlando Pirates, as they defeated Platinum Stars 3-1 on penalties in the Maize Cup on Saturday afternoon.

The Buccaneers enjoyed most of the possession in the opening exchanges with the likes of Oupa Manyisa and Mpho Makola pulling the strings in the middle of the park.

Dikwena eventually got going after the 20-minute mark and they should have found themselves one-goal up but Ndumiso Mabena fired horribly over the crossbar with only Jackson Mabokgwane to beat.

Cavin Johnson’s charges grew stronger as the half went, as Robert Ng’ambi started having a lot more influence on the encounter.

However, Mabena’s chance in the 24th proved to be the best opening of the half, as the score remained goalless as the sides entered the break.

Muhsin Ertugral opted to make four changes at the start of the second half, as he introduced goalkeeper Felipe Ovono, Mahlatse Makudubela, Patrick Phungwayo and  Luvuyo Memela.

The clash had a typical pre-season feel to it, as neither side showed any real attacking intent in the respective final thirds.

The Buccaneers squandered a golden chance after 60 minutes when Tendai Ndoro played Thabo Matlaba through on goal, however the full-back could only fire straight at Mzimela from close range.

Mzimela frustrated the Buccaneers once again in the 81st minute, as the Dikwena shot-stopper rushed off his line to thwart Ndoro on the edge of the box.

With time running out, Ertugral introduced Ayanda Nkosi for Ndoro as they searched for a winning goal.

However, neither side could break the deadlock in the closing stages, forcing the game into a penalty shoot-out, where Ovono proved to hero, pulling off two saves to help Pirates win the cup.

Here’s how they lined up:

Platinum Stars: Mzimela, Gumede, Mlilo, Zulu, Mnguni, Mere, Ng’ambi, Mabena, Botes, Gwabeni, Tshabalala.

Orlando Pirates: Mabokgwane, Chabalala, Gyimah, Sikhakhane Matlaba, Sarr, Makola, Qalinge, Rakhale, Manyisa, Ndoro.
