“Saying goodbye is never easy, I’m going to miss the morning family as well as Martin and the JacaBreakfast team, but I’m so thankful for this experience and to have grown in a medium I have so much love and respect for,” says Laurie-Mthombeni.

The Joburg-born star kicked off her radio career at Jacaranda FM in 2016 shortly after completing her reign as Miss South Africa 2015.

Fans and industry pals flooded Laurie-Mthombeni’s comments sections with congratulatory messages.

“You grew so much there I can’t wait to see what you get up to next. All the best angel loads of love ❤️,” commented TV host Minnie Dlamini.

“Well done on an incredible run 😍,” wrote model and TV host Ayanda Thabethe.

Former “South Africa’s Got Talent” winner James Bhemgee, 57 has died in hospital after a short illness, sources close to the family have confirmed.

The former street sweeper and unemployed tenor rose to stardom when he won the talent competition in 2010 with his velvety voice.

Tributes for the singer continue to pour in on social media from industry colleagues and friends.

“Rest sweetly brother … your voice will forever ring in my heart. Your race is done. You made many hearts smile with your talent and charm.” – Alistair Izobell/Facebook.

“R. I. P James Bhemgee What shocking news. Was great to had the opportunity to share the stage with you a beautiful soul left the stage. My condolences to the family and friends.” – Zahier Zaza Abrahams/Facebook.

Another Facebook user wrote: “Oh no!!! I knew him as a little girl … he used to pick up our dirt in Salt River then got to work with him at Artscape … he truly lived his purpose in this life. Condolences to all his loved ones. May his beautiful soul rest in peace … I can almost hear him singing with the angels.”

According to hdsentertainment.co.za, he was first discovered on the streets of Cape Town by a woman who overheard him singing while he was working as a street sweeper.

She was so impressed that she paid for Bhemgee to have singing lessons.

James has also performed with international Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins and was part of the South African leg of Andre Rieu’s tour with his Johann Strauss Orchestra.

After winning “SA’s Got Talent”, James said: “For 13 years I’ve been unemployed. Those 13 years were the hardest part of my life. I didn’t have opportunities to sing but I never gave up on my dream. I survived. I went through very tough times but I was and I am a believer.”

James Bhemgee released his debut album titled “Vincero” in November 2011.

On June 16, we commemorated Youth Day. And while the day may be celebratory, there is very little to celebrate, considering the high unemployment rate in South Africa.

As a result, most young people resort to crime and drugs, ruining their future. Actor Innocent Masuku shared a heartfelt message to the youth of SA, warning them about the dangers of drugs.

The actor, who’s been missing in action, says young people shouldn’t do drugs because they will end up missing better opportunities over something that has no use.

“Be careful of the friends you keep. Be careful of the choices you make. It’s amazing how time flies. Sometimes, the choices you make can cost you many opportunities,” he says.

Masuku is one of the most talented actors South Africa has produced. He played the role of Bobo on “Yizo Yizo” and Bakstina on “Tshisa”. Unfortunately, with all the fame, he too fell into drugs, and that’s not something he wishes for any young person.

“When I entered the entertainment industry, I was tempted and got involved in drugs. And I regret it because I lost so many opportunities and good friends. And no matter how much I regret it, I can never regain the time I lost. It feels bad.

“I may look strong, but deep down, I am still hurt,” explains the Soweto-born star.

He adds that the youth need to be presented with more opportunities.

“What’s killing the youth is that they have too much time on their hands. They don’t know what to do.

“Others end up making the wrong choices and end up taking drugs. It’s worse for those who take drugs they cannot afford because, as a community, we fall victim to their crimes. We need to try to help those willing to go to rehab,” says Masuku.

The music world is buzzing as international award-winning artist Drake released his seventh studio album.

The album has been executive produced by Mzansi music legend DJ Black Coffee who continues to fly the South African flag high.

Black Coffee is not the only South African who has worked their magic on Drake’s project. His son Esona has also added a touch to the album, having produced “Texts Go Green” on Drake’s album.

Esona took to Twitter and shared that he had produced “Texts Go Green”, which already seems to be a favourite among fans.

In recent months, Esona has been seen around the world with his Grammy award- winning father at some of his shows. It is safe to say that he was not just at the shows for “na enjoyment” but actually learning from his producer father.

Black Coffee took to Twitter gushing over his son’s accomplishment.

“So proud of this guy 🤞🏿♥️,” he wrote.
