Banks have customer toilets? Had no idea and never thought of it before.

A short video of Julius Malema sharing a kiss with his wife on a dock has caught attention online, with many South Africans calling it a sweet and loving moment.

In the clip, Malema is seen warmly greeting his wife while surrounded by people. The moment quickly spread on social media, where users focused less on politics and more on the couple’s relationship and display of affection.

Some people online said it was refreshing to see a softer side of the EFF leader, while others simply described it as a romantic moment that showed genuine love. However, a few users questioned the timing of the clip, with some suggesting it could be “performative” amid ongoing online rumours about the couple’s relationship, claims that have not been confirmed.

Why were they in court?

The video surfaced while Malema was at the East London Regional Court for pre-sentencing proceedings in his firearm discharge case, which continues to draw national attention. Malema was sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment but granted leave to appeal, meaning he remains a free man.

Outside the court, supporters of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) gathered in large numbers. Many had spent the night at Jan Smuts Stadium before heading to court early in the morning to await updates on the case.

Despite the seriousness of the court proceedings, the viral clip gave many social media users a lighter moment, with some saying it was a reminder that public figures also have personal and family lives beyond politics.

Here are a couple of the kisses the couple shared during the two days of sentencing on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Department of Home Affairs has been called to give a report on the citizenship status of beauty queen Chidimma Adetshina as well as Nigerian “king” Solomon Ogbonna Eziko, whose alleged coronation in KuGompo City [formerly East London] made headlines last month.

The Civic movement, the Progressive Forces of South Africa, has launched a Change.org petition calling on the Department of Home Affairs to provide a detailed report on issues concerning two individuals, one of whom is former Miss South Africa finalist Chidimma Adetshina.

The organisation is seeking clarification on the beauty queen’s whereabouts and citizenship status. They also require an update on an investigation launched by the department into Chidimma’s mother, Anabela Rungo, who was found guilty of contravening the Immigration Act and the Identification Act.

The beauty queen was born in SA to a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, the latter of whom was accused of registering her birth in South Africa by using fraudulent documents.

Rungo, who is not a South African citizen, was also charged with identity fraud.

She was arrested last year and appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates Court.

By default, due to her relationship with her mother, both women were stripped of their South African IDs and passports.

Chidimma withdrew from the Miss SA organisation but later competed in the 2024 Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, which she won. She also competed in Miss Universe, where she placed as first runner-up.

Last year, she returned to her home in Cape Town, likely using her Nigerian identity and travel documents.

The DHA has previously refused to comment on the criminal investigation into Chidimma’s family. They’ve also remained mum on how or why she was permitted back in the country.

Apart from Chidimma Adetshina, the DHA is also being called to probe the immigration status of Nigerian national, Solomon Ogbonna Eziko.

Images circulating on social media of Eziko’s reported coronation, crowning him as “Igwe Ndigba” of KuGompo City, sparked widespread backlash from the public and political parties.

The Nigerian High Commission waded into the unrest, claiming the event was a “cultural celebration” rather than the “installation” of a king within South African borders.

The event was accused of possibly violating the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act 3 of 2019, which governs the recognition of traditional leadership structures in South Africa.

Eziko’s immigration status is unknown, and the DHA has not disclosed whether he is illegal, undocumented, or in breach of visa conditions.

at what cost...u think US jst attack countries like that ....iran is sponsororing terrorist in that region and they are not even hiding it....see i use to rate iran before but when they kpaid their head of state and all their generals....bro d only thing they have left is that Strait of Hormuz and i give them kudus for using it to their advantage....but to say iran was not dealt with na wining

Iran now owns the Strait of Hormuz and US reputation around the world (plus with NATO alliance) has been badly damaged. US-ISRAEL thought they would defeat Iran within 3 days but they're still fighting 2 months in.

US-ISRAEL have egg on their face because Iran now has an even more radical leadership than before. Iran is the WINNER here. 🇮🇷🏆🔥

Judolisco:
Bro iran lost its head of state and chief of defense, do u know what that means....no dey wine yourself....very weak nation

In that case US-ISRAEL should run over them and just take over like in Venezuela but they can't. Why not?? Now pleading for ceasefire and negotiations 🇺🇸🇮🇱👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽💩

erad:
Mark my words, Israel will still attack Iran within those 2 weeks. Those guys are evil and only want destruction.

Not this time around coz Iran will simply close the strait again and the whole world will turn against that demon.ic Israel.

So, bloodthirsty US and it's sidekick Israel have agreed to Iran's 10-point plan? Who's the winner here? 😂😂😂

Team Iran 🇮🇷🏆

This thread and the comments belong in the jokes section 😂😂😂

So conversely you aspire to be like Whites since you are inviting more of them into Cape town.

I see.

We're not the ones that made u taboo in SA. You did that all by yourselves.

JaceBlaze:
The best everywhere but Nigeria.It's easy to latch and crowbar yourself on the foundation laid by other men in host countries than it is to creat your own from the ground up.Why is it whenever you become "the best" at something is always far away from your native soil? LoL

No one is jealous of you,definitely not us South Africans. You literally don't even have anything we admire.

If we aspired to be like them we would have welcomed and even invited more Igbo and Nigerian kings to come lead us in their "greatness". Instead they're being rejected. Imagine a whole "king" being told to voetsek 😂😂😂

seppuku:
It gets a lot of views plus one Randdigital guy used to complain that he was being marginalized.

👀

IronGalaxy:
Just say you dont know and allow me to educate you.. we've been wearing different shades of green for many years.. it literally has nothing to do with us wanting to be you, because I can clearly detect the insinuation. The foremost colour scheme of all South African sporting teams is green and yellow.. eg .netball, hockey, athletics, rugby etc..

Mariangeles spends most of her time in the food section (aka kitchen). Do forgive her only coz she started off in this thread on a sensible note and then lost her way 🙏🏽😅.

Laple0541:
Go and ask your grandparents, they will tell you those grandparents of mine were part of those that fought for you to have the little freedom you have today in the hands of your white lords.

Imagine a third class citizen that’s still being prohibited from visiting certain places within his so called country boasting!

Imagine having oil and yet being subjected to far less quality of life than the "third class citizens" in South Africa 🇿🇦🏆😂

Your papa and his papa should have used less energy boasting about "freeing SA" and spent it in securing your future so you don't experience weekly grid collapses.

You got the laziest infrastructure building brains in all of Africa. Even once you manage to produce something it's often subpar to other African nations🇳🇬💩💩💩

Laple0541:
South African men are garbage my friend. They are the laziest and the most annoying in Africa

Says someone whose papa and grandpapa failed to lay down meaningful infrastructure since 1960. Today he's also sitting in darkness with no clean running water - with arms folded🇳🇬👎🏽

Instead his wish is to go to South Africa and live off the sweat of the men there who have laid down and continue to expand the best infrastructure in all of Africa. Hence the bitterness coz they deny him visa😂🇿🇦🏆

themanderon:
So you call homosexuality a progressive act?.

How you treat homosexuals in your country with violence is backwardness.

Kalulu44:
Abegi, who ever gave birth to a child and they say this is who they're (A Lesbian or Gay)

Are there no schools in Worst Africa? Don't you know sexuality is determined at adolescence?

SixSeven:
The bot hid my comment. I no get strength and time to rewrite. One of the things I wrote was the BioWar against SA. Also, have you considered that the mental health problems by the LGBTQs is because they are going against nature and their minds are talking to them? They can always be in a gay friendly country and still have the problems. So it's not only about discrimination.

Even in the West where homosexuality is decriminalized many people still face discrimination or loneliness, hence the depression and anxiety levels. I thought you'd mention far worse mental health issues which you choose to describe as "disorders" to drive your point.

Many heterosexual people also suffer from depression and anxiety due to social media pressure, for example. Let's also demonize them and characterize their conditions as "mental disorders", shall we. And then beat them up.

SixSeven:
Stats show that those who are LGBTQ have more mental health problems than the average Joe. These are the weyrey problems our people did not want. Africa believes in generations and they knew for a long time that once you put + with + or you change the way nature had made man and woman conceive and get attracted to themselves, society will fail.

Wouldn't you also develop mental health issues if you faced constant rejection and loneliness?

It's a fact that there is a varied spectrum of human sexuality, and no religion or jail time has ever or will ever prevent from occuring. All you can do is trample on the rights of others to be who they want to be but there'll forever be gays (a small minority by the way) because that's just who they are.

@brainless54, Tinubu assured me all is good - that's why I'm back😎

Sonnobax15:
. Was expecting you to hit my mention by providing just one evidence of gay players among our beloved super falcons. . But you only ended up spilling trash as usual

As for the part of you guys being lazy,well,I don't wanna type much cuz y'all know that's your regular trademark.

Funny how we're the lazy ones but the Nigerian trademark is Abegistan (we saw it live with ishowspeed) and poverty capital of the world. Ain't it funny?

Anyway, gay super falcons will out themselves when they're ready. It's a jungle out there in Worst Africa for homosexuals - backwardness is the order of the day.

Sonnobax15:

Well, I'm not surprised. After all,they have been crying for help, about how lazy their men are but it seems nobody wants to help them

So let them kukuma be marrying themselves

I guess it's still a secret only in Nigeria that some female football players are gay.

All that you said about SA men was unnecessary but most importantly ignorant.

Congratulations are in order for the Dlaminis as they celebrate another major milestone. Lulama Dlamini has just added another degree to her name, graduating yet again and proving that hard work pays off.

To mark the occasion, her wife Andile Dlamini shared some beautiful moments on social media. The Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and Banyana Banyana goalkeeper posted pictures of herself alongside Lulama, who looked radiant in her graduation gown. Andile’s pride was clear, especially as this marks her wife’s third graduation. Truly black excellence in action.

Fans and followers joined the couple to celebrate with them, including coach Simphiwe Dludlu, who had previously been linked with the Banyana Banyana coaching job.

Andile is one of many South African personalities who tied the knot in 2025. She and Lulama exchanged vows on December 20th in a beautiful ceremony attended by family and close friends, with media personality and reality star Dineo Ranaka serving as MC.

The couple had been together for several years before making it official. Their social media accounts are full of moments from their life together, showing a love that has grown and flourished over time.


ANDILE DLAMINI'S GOALKEEPING CAREER

Dlamini was nominated in the Best Goalkeeper category at the CAF Awards in November and played a crucial role in Banyana Banyana’s triumph at the 2023 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. She also featured regularly in this year’s WAFCON campaign, although the team was unable to defend their title.

During the 2025 season, she was at the centre of goalkeeping debates after head coach Desiree Ellis opted for Kaylin Swart on several occasions, a decision that sparked strong reactions from fans who felt Dlamini deserved more game time.

Dlamini is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s most accomplished goalkeepers. A long-serving figure at Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies, she has won multiple domestic league titles and lifted the CAF Women’s Champions League trophy twice.

At international level, Dlamini has earned over 60 caps for Banyana Banyana, played at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and was a key member of the team that won the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. Her career has been recognised with several individual honours, including Goalkeeper of the Tournament awards and nominations at major continental and national ceremonies, cementing her status as a leading figure in African women’s football.

Their rugby team, springboks has been wearing that shade of green for years and they're the current champions of the rugby world cup. The SA FA probably decided to design the jersey using the rugby world cup winners as inspiration

Thanks for the honesty - makes sense to use springbok jersey for inspiration than a team you knocked out of the qualifiers.

IronGalaxy:
Lol..this forced hate towards us, so played out..

He says SA won't make it out the group stages. As if they'd do better since SA kicked them out of the qualifiers 😂😂😂🇿🇦🏆

brain54:
This banana banana jersey doesn't look world class...

Doesn't look modern. Looks like those '94 style jersey.

And this is their best ever!

By the way I thought you deactivated!

Beats yours 10-0 🇿🇦🏆

Fried🔥 and soon to be fired during the mid-terms. Team Iran🇮🇷🏆

The 2026/2027 away jersey makes a powerful statement in iconic green and gold - a colour combination deeply rooted in South African sporting identity.

Designed with a structured collar featuring refined white and gold trim, the away kit blends heritage with sophistication. The collar detailing nods to prestige and progression, symbolising the elevation of South African football across both the men’s and women’s game.

The green base represents resilience and growth, while the white and gold accents signal ambition - a reminder that South Africa continues to shine on football’s biggest stages. Both jerseys have been designed for equal representation of Bafana Bafana and Banyana Banyana - reinforcing adidas and SAFA’s shared commitment to elevating the women’s and men’s game in tandem.

“While we honour the past generation of the 60’s to the 80s who could not represent South Africa, our partner adidas is bringing the design into the future, as an ode to both the elevation of the jersey but equally the evolution of diski (soccer) which is seeing us shine within global tournaments with our distinct culture and colour. We are hoping for even greater performances and success considering this jersey is built using adidas’ latest performance technology which as a former Banyana Banyana player I can attest to” said SAFA CEO Ms Lydia Monyepao.

“This away jersey reflects a timeless elegance, distinctly showcasing the adidas trefoil logo, synonymous with sporting culture and excellence. 2026 is significant as it represents the first year that adidas will introduce this logo to global away federations jerseys across the world during the World Cup. This is in keeping with the sophisticated style direction of these jerseys,” notes Tom Brown, Senior Brand Director for adidas South Africa. “While the styling is distinctly elevated, the elite functionality of the jersey remains unrivalled. The garment is constructed using adidas’ latest performance technology and is engineered for elite competition. Lightweight materials, advanced moisture management, and breathable construction ensure the athlete can perform with confidence under pressure. Every stitch reflects progression. Every detail tells a story.”

The adidas x SAFA 2026/2027 home and away jerseys will be available from 20 March 2026 at selected retailers and online.

Bafana Bafana will be based in Mexico for the the 2026 Men's World Cup.

Buthelezi was crying yesterday that his threads weren’t hitting front page anymore. He’s changed his mind regarding leaving.

👀😂

JaceBlaze:
You are leaving NL?

They've been suppressing my threads lately so yeh, I'm out.

Atleast we South Africans know when to leave when we're no longer welcome, unlike them.
