Actress Gugu Gumede delivered a hot clap back at a troll who called her out on using ‘too much’ makeup.
The Uzalo actress is known for serving looks and having gorgeous face beats. Even during lockdown, the beaut is still serving looks despite the whole country staying at home.
She took to Instagram to share a picture of her dolled up face, but one troll was not feeling the look and told her that she is naturally beautiful and does not need makeup.
Gugu was not going to take the disrespect disguised as a compliment and served the troll with the spiciest clap back.
“Please don’t ever again have the audacity to imply how much makeup I should have on my face, I’ll drag you for filth,” she said.

“Those Who Were Laughing At Me…” Ramaphosa Speaks After Dramatically Failing To Wear A Mask On Live TV.

President Cyril Ramaphosa
President Cyril Ramaphosa, responded to many South Africans poking fun at him for putting his mask on “incorrectly” during his nationwide address.
During a media briefing in Gauteng, he started off by saying: “For all those that were laughing at me on thursday ”.
The mask challenge is born
On Thursday evening, South Africa’s beloved Ramaphosa took to the podium to address the nation on the easing of the nationwide lockdown come 1 May.
At the end of his speech, he picked up a mask and tried to put it on to signify solidarity and to encourage South Africans to wear one when they leave the house.
However, his demonstration didn’t go so well. In front of millions of South Africans and people all around the world, he made a mask blunder. He literally stumbled while putting it on and basically had a little fight with it for a good couple of seconds.
Instead of getting the mask to cover his nose and mouth, he got it over his eyes and even struggled to hook the straps over his ears. It was a cringe-worthy moment — one that had most people watching in absolute stitches.
South Africans know how to make light of a serious situation. President Cyril Ramaphosa thought it would be a good idea to put on a mask after his speech on Thursday. But he struggled to get it on,and it didn’t take long for the memes to appear.#LockdownExtension #Day29ofLockdown
Within two minutes of Ramaphosa struggling to put on his mask, there were hundreds of memes floating around on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and even Instagram.
Ramaphosa with a mask over his eyes on national television was too irresistible to not poke fun at it.
South Africans poking fun, however, did not seem to be done in an unkind or malicious way — thank goodness — most South Africans poked fun in the nicest and kindest way they possibly could.
Ramaphosa on Friday finally responded to all the mask memes — something everyone was waiting for. People wanted to know if he would address it or bypass it completely.
Good news Mzansi — at least they have a fun president — one that can take a joke and laugh at himself even if it’s to do with a mask.
Ramaphosa said he will be starting a channel of his own, teaching people how to wear masks. What a good idea!

Coronavirus: Nasa develops ventilator tailored for Covid-19 patients in just 37 days

‘We know how to land on the moon and Mars, but building a medical device is new’
Ventilator, called VITAL, is seen during a Nasa presentation at the White House ( EPA )
Engineers at NASA have developed a ventilator specifically designed to help coronavirus patients.
The VITAL system – Ventilator Intervention Technology Accessible Locally – was created in just 37 days, the space agency says.
Now, it has already passed critical medical tests and looks set to be fast-tracked for approval early next week
“We’re rocket scientists and engineers, we know how to land on the moon and Mars,” said Leon Alkalai, a technical fellow at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
“But building a medical device is new. We were humbled by that challenge to do something we’ve never done before for a good cause.”
UK coronavirus hospital death toll passes 20,000
Study investigates whether sun’s power can slow spread of coronavirus
The prototype, which was shown to Donald Trump on Friday, works like traditional ventilators where sedated patients rely on an oxygen tube to help them breathe.
But it is tailored to be more flexible and easier to maintain so it can be used more effectively in the field hospitals currently being set up in conference centres and hotels across the world.
Because it has a life span of just three to four months – where traditional ventilators generally last several years – it is cheaper and quicker to build, NASA says.
Bill Gates says we could see early results from coronavirus vaccine trials this summer
“It goes against our culture to do something quickly in a domain where we’re not experts,” added Dr Alkalai. “But it fits with the JPL mantra: ‘Dare Mighty Things’.”
Now, the California Institute of Technology is in the process of finding manufacturers to make the machine on scale after those early tests proved positive.
“We were very pleased with the results in our high-fidelity human simulation lab,” said Dr Matthew Levin who led that testing at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York.
“The Nasa prototype performed as expected under a wide variety of simulated patient conditions. The team feels confident that the VITAL ventilator will be able to safely ventilate patients suffering from Covid-19 both here in the United States and throughout the world.”
Speaking after those positive results were announced, Michelle Easter, a mechatronics engineer with Nasa, called the device a “crazy” project.
“We have the potential to save human lives, people that we might know, our neighbours, our families, and that intensity is amazing,” she said. “It’s amazing, and as stressful as it’s been for everybody in the last couple of weeks, not one of us can stop.”

Explained: How the government will decide to allow alcohol sales again
By: illovuonline news team
26-04-2020
Image: supplied
South Africa is expected to move from a Level 5 to a Level 4 lockdown as of 1 May. Level 4 makes provision for limited economic activity and the easing of some movement.
The country will be under Level 4 lockdown from 1 May, but this does not mean that you can celebrate with your favourite drink on that date.
Alcohol sales will still be banned.
According to the proposed plan, if the lockdown is eased to Level 3, the sale of alcohol will be permitted at retail outlets at limited hours, but no consumption on-premises – drinking in restaurants, pubs and clubs – will be allowed.
So, if you want to (legally) buy liquor again, the lockdown will have to reach Level 3.
Police Minister Bheki Cele has vowed to crack down on illegal alcohol sales – and booze shop raiders, who have struck since lockdown began. Cele visited Paarl and Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs on Saturday on a tour to inspect shopping precincts.
On Saturday, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said it would depend on the “state of readiness”.
“We’ll be looking at data on a weekly basis. If there is no dramatic change in the data, there will be no change [in the level of the lockdown].”
What data are they looking at?
According to Dlamini-Zuma’s presentation, they considered the following to determine what the alert level would be:
Rate at which the proportion of the population tested is increasing (higher is better).
Rate at which the proportion of positive tests is increasing (lower is better).
Rate of increase in fixed and makeshift hospital beds in both public and private sectors per 1 000 population (higher is better).
Rate at which the proportion of hospital beds being utilised for Covid-19 is increasing (lower is better).
All four measures will change over time and will influence the level at which the country, a province or district will be classified.
Will alcohol definitely be allowed if the lockdown level changes?
No, not necessarily.
Firstly, we can go back to Level 5 from Level 4. If the situation regarding infections worsens, the lockdown can return to Level 5 in which case alcohol sales will definitively be a no-no.
Furthermore, the lists of goods and services that will be allowed at each stage are still proposals and thus subject to change after consultations with various role players.
And then, police minister Bheki Cele, who is also a teetotaller, has said if it was up to him, the sale of alcohol would remain verboten, even after the lockdown has ended.

Kanye West
Rapper Kanye West is now a billionaire thanks largely to the basketball shoes bearing his name that he developed with Adidas, Forbes magazine said Friday.
The rough figure of the wealth of Kim Kardashian’s hubby is $1.3 billion, the magazine said in announcing the musician is now on its list of people worth at least $1 billion.
The 42-year-old, Chicago-born rapper’s Yeezy footwear often sells for more than $200 a pair in the United States and elsewhere.
West was associated with Nike for years but broke away in 2013, lending his name to Adidas as they launched their first shoe together in 2015.
Race not the only issue in the chic world of fashion
For as long as it’s been mainstream, hip hop music has notoriously been a big brag fest.
Forbes said that for years West has been pressing the magazine to be listed as one of its mega-rich but that it declined, for lack of proof.
The magazine said tongue in cheek that for years it had applied what it called the Trump rule to West: “take whatever the future president insisted he was worth, divide by three, and start honing from there.”
Much of the rest of West’s wealth comes from real estate he owns, the magazine said.
West is the second American rapper to make the Forbes list after Jay-Z, who made the cut last year.

In total 30 bags that weighed 80kg were recovered
Two men were arrested after they were found ferrying 80kg of dagga in a coffin in northern KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday.
A police source close to the investigation said Pongola Visible Police (Vispol) members had been conducting a roadblock on the N2 in the Mavalane area when a vehicle approached and switched off its lights.
“Police rushed to the vehicle and asked for a permit to travel. They produced a vehicle pass permit which identified them as a funeral parlour carrying a corpse.”
Police searched the vehicle to make sure that there was a coffin and corpse inside.
“When searching in the presence of the motorist and the passenger, members opened the coffin and found many parcels of dagga wrapped in Sellotape. Underneath the coffin there were bags of dagga as well.”
In total, 30 bags weighing 80kg were recovered.
The vehicle registration was circulated and it was found to belong to a car rental company in Boksburg.
Both men, a 34-year-old South African and a 32-year old asylum seeker with a temporary permit from the Congo, were placed under arrest.
“They have been charged with possession of dagga, fraud and contravening the regulations of the Disaster Management Act.”
Both men are expected to appear in court soon.

TNS has broken his silence over his Instagram rant – He had accused a group of trying to attack him using muthi –
The musician let his fans know that he is fine and was just in a bad place.
Last week, TNS took to Instagram where he accused a group called ‘Durban United’ of scheming against him in a live stream. illovuonline news learned that the alleged that the group were prepared to use muthi to kill him or incapacitate him so they could steal his music.
“They try to do all this bad things so that I quit, so that I give-up, so that I become paralysed, so that in the end, I’ll be unable to make the kind of music I made for South Africans.
The problem is that in all that is happening they are making fun of my work, and planning sh*t against me.” TNS has broken his silence on the incident and told his fans not to worry about him according to ZAlebs.
“I’m okay now … my fans can stop worrying about me. I was just pouring my heart out. The ending of the video was not my plan at all. It just happened. “I’m glad it happened because I needed to pour it all out.” His Instagram outburst caused quite a concern online.

Duncan gave TNS gears for blaming DJ Tira for his career fails. You have to man up and admit your mistakes or you will never grow. It is so easy to blame others for your downfall, especially in the entertainment world – pity seems to trump accountability. TNS dissed Tira hard this past weekend, implying that he had a hand in some of his music career slumps.
Seeing the whole saga play out on social media got Ducans’s back up. There is nothing he hates more than a shade-thrower and sympathy-seeker. TNS went on his rant, linking Tira to some of the music industry messes he’s experienced, and then Duncan came for him.

When you imagine South Africa’s hip-hop scene, an image of Nasty C’s infectious smile should come to the forefront of your mind. At 23, the Durban, South Africa artist born Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, is one of the most streamed artists coming out of Africa, with an array of awards (two South African Music Awards and two AFRIMMAs) under his belt for his 2018 sophomore album, Strings and Bling.
Nasty C’s music leans hard on bounce and natural charisma. He is an impossibly talented rapper with a breezy flow and hardwon dedication to the craft. A hip-hop head since the age of nine, Nasty C’s latest single, “There They Go,” stands as a flex track with a nice amount of jeer and jokester persona. Overtop his humor, though, exists a young man with success on his mind. Rapping, “I sign deals, but I own my soul” on “There They Go,” Nasty C refers to his recent signing to Def Jam, in partnership with Universal Music Africa, and his goal of remaining himself despite the business dealings.
“Because I’m a South African artist or an ‘African rapper,’ people expect me to look very, very African, and dress in animal skin,” Nasty C begins to tell me over the phone. “But that’s not who I am! At my core, I’m a hip-hop head. I’ve been that way since I was nine years old… I realized that when we were starting to make this move to the states, a lot of people had their own expectations of [how] I should look, talk, and act. It felt like I needed to be careful and not let them brand me that way just to say, ‘Hey, look! This guy is from Africa.’ I’m from where I’m from, and I do what I do the way I’m doing it. I don’t let anyone else dictate my story.”
Musically, Nasty C’s story is one of versatility and growth. Going back to his 2018 album, Nasty C recalls it as a moment of evolution, performing on stage with violins and no drums, exploring sonic routes he had never before taken. Too, Nasty C aims to use his artistry to elevate the scene around him. He hopes his success will lead to the success of artists across the global stage.
“This is only the beginning of what could potentially happen with hip-hop,” Nasty C concludes. “If this [deal] works out and we bust the gates open for artists across the world to share the same stage globally and bring the different flavors of hip-hop they have, this shit’s gonna be fucking crazy. There’s so many great artists from South Africa. A lot of people that are impressed with me, they’re gonna hear them and go, ‘Woah!’”
Our conversation, lightly edited for content and clarity, follows below.
illovuonline news team : Congratulations on signing to Def Jam. How did you know that label was right for you?
Nasty C: I’ve always seen the Def Jam logo as a kid before I even [knew] what it was. It was one of those logos I saw on my idols’ videos and albums. It’s a level I always aspired to get to one day. It felt like a stamp from the guys that created this whole thing, just to say, “You’re doing it right,” to me, who’s been a fan of the culture on the other side of the world.
You’re the superstar of South Africa, is there any pressure being such a big name?
Yeah, but it doesn’t get to me! It’s a good kind of pressure; it feels like a challenge more than anything. It’s a good responsibility.
You’re carrying the weight with pride, so to say.
Exactly.
How did releasing your 2018 album, Strings and Bling, change your life and career?
[Strings and Bling] elevated my whole thing as an artist. I started to notice my versatility a bit more and getting to perform in ways people had never seen me show interest in. Performing with just violinists on stage, having a full-on set with only strings and no drums, allowed me to flex my creativity a bit. With the plaques and stuff, that was crazy for me, but that stuff is not important to me.
Does being famous not matter to you as much as making an impact on the culture?
Being famous is just a perk, but it’s not what I do it for. Being famous has a lot of downs, too. There’s a lot of restrictions, and it gets weird at times.
Social media clouds fame.
It becomes so hard to separate your personal life—people are always in your business; it’s messed up.
On the flip side, your big single now is “There They Go,” did you foresee that song being a hit?
It’s kind of funny… As soon as I’m done recording a song—if I’m feeling good about it—I’ll play it a thousand times over; in my car, on my phone, speakers, on the TV… Just trying to listen to it from a consumer perspective. If it sounds good, I immediately chalk it up to: “Okay, this song has potential.” I don’t get like, “Oh, this is it” because I make too much music. But I didn’t have any doubts, either.
In 2018, you went on Sway and revealed your dad wasn’t impressed with your rapping career early on. With the incredible success you’ve seen, how does your family feel about your career now?
They’re supportive. It’s more my siblings that are excited and are tuned in and updated with everything. My parents… it’s not their thing. They’re happy for me, and they see all the highlights, but they don’t pay attention. They don’t know nothing about Def Jam—it’s not a big deal to them.
Last year, you told GQ: “Hip-hop transcends borders and continents. We all can relate to youth culture, as there are no divisions there.” Now signed to Def Jam, do you still feel that way?
It’s definitely still the same. This is only the beginning of what could potentially happen with hip-hop. If this [deal] works out and we bust the gates open for artists across the world to share the same stage globally and bring the different flavors of hip-hop they have, this shit’s gonna be fucking crazy. There’s so many great artists from South Africa. A lot of people that are impressed with me, they’re gonna hear them and go, “Woah!”
What do you want people to know about South African hip-hop?
I just want people to listen to it! It’s dope, the way we flipped it and added our own little flavor to it. It doesn’t feel strange when [Americans] listen to it, but it has that, “Where is this from? Who is this?”
How do you plan to leverage your signing to continue breaking into the US market?
I look at it like I’ve been given an opportunity to show the world what’s going on in my head in terms of music and visuals. I’m an artist all around. I draw, design, all types of stuff. The support is just bigger, stronger, better, meaner. I just be doing crazier shit and, hopefully, that makes everyone pay attention and start looking at everybody else that’s from down here. We just don’t have the resources, reach, and support like everybody else. Now that we’re slowly starting to get that love, I hope more people start to pay attention.
On “There They Go,” you rap, “I sign deals, but I own my soul.” How does that bar reflect the deal you signed with Def Jam?
With this deal, because I’m a South African artist or an “African rapper,” people expect me to look very, very African, and dress in animal skin… But that’s not who I am! At my core, I’m a hip-hop head. I’ve been that way since I was nine years old. [Traditional wear] is just a special part of our culture that we never let go, and we go back into it when it’s time to have ceremonies… I realized that when we were starting to make this move to the states, a lot of people had their own expectations of [how] I should look, talk, and act. It felt like I needed to be careful and not let them brand me that way just to say, “Hey, look! This guy is from Africa.” I’m from where I’m from, and I do what I do the way I’m doing it. I don’t let anyone else dictate my story.
The upcoming album, Zulu Man With Some Power, will feature you embracing your Zulu roots. What inspired you to lean into your culture?
I’ve been researching the personal side of my life. I’ve been trying to get more in touch with my culture and my traditions. Every Zulu, at some point in your life, you have to go back to [that culture]. It’s like becoming a man. I’ve reached that point in my life. I have to go back home and have discussions with my uncles and my father as part of my culture. I thought it would be dope, since I’m getting on the global stage, to carry that on my back and represent and teach people about [my culture] and show them the fly side to it versus the shit people just see on the internet.
What is the Nasty C legacy going to be?
I wanna be remembered as that one guy who didn’t let anything stop him. Where I’m from, people have a low level of self-esteem. People don’t dream that high. I just wanna be one of the guys who change how people think and the way they look at themselves in the world.
