'Our time is now and the black girl magic is so inspiring.'

But Matheba, who has a bursary fund for black girls, said her work was not all glitz and glamour.

“It looks like it’s all Hollywood lights but there’s a real reason behind it all. And I’m very honoured that Pencils of Promise and Charlize want to work with me for my humanitarian efforts.” She said she was glad to be part of a time when being African held so much power. “Our time is now and the black girl magic is so inspiring.”

Matheba, who has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, said going global had been part of her strategy for the past few years, but that things were only being set in motion now. “I’ve been very strategic with the moves around my career but just like fine wine, success takes a very long time.”

She said while the finer details of her relocation were still being sorted out, the plan was to move after the first quarter of next year, after she had fulfilled current commitments.“Unfortunately in America, and in most parts of the world, in order to get the job done, you need to be on location.”And, even though the TV star was coy to divulge details of projects on the cards, she revealed that she was shooting a US television-related project that fans would get to see soon.

Zondo commission moves houseThe Zondo commission has incurred R350 million in expenses since it began and in bid to cut costs, envisaging a likely extension of the scheduled February 2020 completion, it is likely to move premises early next year. Ukusa nje this thing won't even yield anything, just another way of chowing our taxes. No commission has ever brought about any justice. Money that could've atleast bought sanitary pads & delivered 2schools for those underprivileged communities Or even paid for fees for a number of needy worthy kids out there But the looks of things it hasn't found any evidence to the so called state capture. It's money wasted as it's intention was get rid of Zuma in the SA presidency.
