Jason Momoa thinks his son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, right, is in for a “rude awakening” with his first movie role in Dune: Part Three. The 16-year-old actor is set to make his screen debut in director Denis Villeneuve's upcoming sci-fi blockbuster as Paul Atreides’ (Timothee Chalamet) son Leto II, and his famous dad has admitted he's in for quite the surprise when production begins. Speaking with Extra, Jason, 45, said of Nakoa-Wolf: “A rude awakening is what he’s in for. He’s into the workforce for the first time. It’s going to be good. He did it on his own.” The A Minecraft Movie star added he didn’t want to “help” his son with the job as he wants Nakoa-Wolf to be “better” than him. Jason added, “I don’t want to…

British singer Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, has tied the knot. The 32-year-old pop singer exchanged nuptials with George Daniel on Saturday in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family in London. The Party 4 You singer walked down the aisle in a stunning Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora mini gown designed with a ruched skirt which featured an off-the-shoulder design. The singer channelled her inner bridal Westwood as she paired the pearl white gown with white sling-back heels and topped it off with her signature black shades. Daniel wore a classic black tuxedo, and put flowers in his chest pocket which matched the pop star’s bouquet. Aitchison announced her wedding in a delightfully unconventional –and instantly iconic – way: by posting a TikTok…

The defence counsel for Tiffany Meek claimed there was no “public outcry” opposing her bail yesterday. He submitted this during his cross-examination of the investigating officer in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court as his client’s claim hearing continues. Lawyer Noven Naidoo brought up the fact that the police sergeant previously told the court it would be in Meek’s best interest to stay behind bars. The court heard the public outcry from not only residents from Fleurhof, but South Africans at large, needed to be taken into consideration when making a judgment. The police sergeant said South Africans are angered at Meek, who was initially at the forefront for justice for her son, 11-year-old Jayden-Lee Meek, yet she is now sitting in the dock for murder. Earlier this week, the court asked…

A major security failure at OR Tambo International Airport - where a passenger boarded a flight with two grenades - has triggered alarm over passenger safety, raising serious questions about airport screening, oversight, and South Africa’s ability to protect travellers at one of its busiest national key points. The dummy grenades, packed in checked luggage, were only discovered after the flight landed in Ethiopia, prompting serious questions about how the items slipped past security at the country’s busiest airport. The SA Cabin Crew Association has described the incident as deeply troubling, warning that it may signal wider systemic failures - or even a dry run for something worse. IOL reported on Thursday that a passenger passed through security at OR Tambo International Airport carrying two training hand grenades in their…

Zimbabwe’s ruling party (Zanu–PF) says South Africa should not be intimidated by a proposed US bill that could empower President Donald Trump with “superpowers” to impose sanctions on ANC leaders. Zanu–PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa said the US should not “misdirect itself” in its diplomatic relations with South Africa. “These issues could be resolved without resorting to sanctions. But if America decides to go its own way, so be it - we’ve had over two decades of experience dealing with sanctions,” Mutsvangwa said. He made the comments yesterday at the ANC’s 2025 Liberation Movements Summit in Kempton Park. He said the US’ previous sanctions on Zimbabwe had not derailed the country’s progress. “They have not stopped Zimbabwe from making progress. On the contrary, we are now potentially the most dynamic economy…
