South African Rap Star Cassper Nyovest has opened up about the nerves he experienced while performing his latest single, Phunyuka Bamphethe, live for the first time.

Despite years of dominating the local hip hop scene and performing in front of massive crowds, the award-winning artist admitted that introducing new music on stage still brings a unique kind of pressure.

Taking to social media after the performance, Cassper revealed that the experience pushed him outside his comfort zone.

“Went to go and perform today. Performed #PhunyukaBamphethe for the first time, and it was so scary,” he shared.

He went on to explain that his usual approach is to allow new songs to grow organically before adding them to his live setlists, rather than performing them immediately after release.

“I’m not used to doing new songs, or rather promoting songs. I usually wait for the song to grow so it doesn’t get awkward on stage,” he added.

His honesty offered fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at the realities of being an established artist, showing that even seasoned performers can experience doubt when testing new material in front of a live audience.

Fans reacted with encouragement, noting that his willingness to be transparent about nerves makes him even more relatable despite his superstar status.

SABC Abruptly Cancels ‘Pimville’ Amid Explosive Contract Drama

Pimville

The South African Broadcasting Corporation has officially confirmed that popular drama series Pimville will no longer air on SABC 2.

In a statement released to the public, the broadcaster announced that the show has been discontinued with immediate effect due to unresolved contractual matters and alleged breaches linked to production company Bakwena Productions.

“Following a thorough review process and careful consideration, the SABC regrets to announce that Pimville will be discontinued from tonight, due to unresolved contractual obligations and breaches identified and communicated formally to Bakwena Productions,” the statement read.

The sudden cancellation comes after weeks of growing controversy surrounding the production, including concerns raised over unpaid cast and crew members. Reports and discussions surrounding behind-the-scenes challenges had already sparked uncertainty among viewers and industry insiders before the official announcement was made.

Pimville

While the broadcaster did not provide full details regarding the alleged contractual breaches, it confirmed that legal processes are currently underway. According to the SABC, a formal notice of breach was issued to Bakwena Productions in April 2026, with further action expected to depend on the outcome of ongoing contractual and legal proceedings.

Despite the fallout, the public broadcaster acknowledged the commitment and hard work shown by those involved in the production of the series.

“This outcome is deeply regrettable, particularly considering the dedication and hard work demonstrated by the cast, crew, as well as the unwavering support received from audiences, partners, and all stakeholders who contributed to the programme’s success,” the SABC stated.

The broadcaster also moved to reassure viewers that standard procedures had initially been followed when the telenovela was commissioned.

“The acquisition and commissioning of Pimville followed the Corporation’s standard approval and commissioning processes applicable to SABC productions,” the statement added.

However, the corporation admitted that some oversight systems were not consistently implemented during the production process, resulting in internal disciplinary procedures being launched.

“As previously communicated publicly by the Corporation, it was subsequently identified that certain approved oversight mechanisms were not implemented consistently and to the required standard. Consequently, an internal consequence management process has been initiated,” the broadcaster explained.

The cancellation has raised broader concerns within the local television industry regarding production management, accountability and the treatment of cast and crew members working behind the scenes. The issue of delayed or unpaid salaries in television productions has become an increasingly discussed topic in the South African entertainment sector in recent years.

With Pimville now removed from the schedule, the 21:00 timeslot on SABC 2 will temporarily be filled with repeat episodes of Season 2 of Amalanga Awafani while the broadcaster determines its next steps.

The SABC further revealed that it has already engaged with cast and crew representatives regarding the concerns raised and says it remains focused on protecting affected stakeholders while exploring possible solutions for the future of the production.

“The Corporation remains committed to stabilising the production environment, ensuring continuity of content, protecting the interests of affected stakeholders, and exploring all appropriate operational options relating to the future of the production,” the statement concluded.

The broadcaster also apologised to viewers for the disruption to the channel’s programming schedule as uncertainty continues to surround the long-term future of Pimville and everyone involved in the production.

Cassper addressed the issue in a post shared on X, where he reacted to a troll’s statement about his ongoing tensions with Nota. The award-winning rapper did not hold back as he explained the exact moment his perception of the outspoken commentator completely changed.

Cassper Nyovest

Boikanyo, who made history as the only poet to win South Africa’s Got Talent, has since built a diverse career across television, film and stage. She has appeared in popular productions such as e.tv’s Scandal!, as well as films including The Deal and What About the Boys, a role she is set to reprise in an upcoming sequel.

Botlhale Boikanyo

Speaking about her appointment, Boikanyo described the opportunity as a major milestone in her career and a meaningful responsibility.

“Being announced as the new face of ‘Breaking Down Borders’ is a dream come true. Taking the reins from Paul Modjadji, who successfully launched the platform 10 years ago and carved it into a platform that has global reach and impact, is a wonderful challenge and testament to the big shoes I have to fill,” she said.

She added that the upcoming season will also mark a personal and professional highlight, as she embarks on her first poetry-led tour across Africa under the series banner. The new season arrives during a symbolic year, commemorating major historic African movements including the 1956 Women’s March and broader reflections on youth activism across the continent.

Botlhale Boikanyo

“It is an honour to embark on my first Africa poetry tour with this incredible initiative… It is an honour to follow Paul at the helm of this pioneering show and I look forward to learning from these landmark historic movements while making them relevant to today’s youth,” she said.

The upcoming season of Breaking Down Borders Africa will see Boikanyo lead audiences through destinations such as Morocco, Egypt, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cape Verde and other African countries. The show blends travel storytelling with cultural exploration, highlighting heritage sites, history and the experiences of young creatives shaping their environments.

Unlike previous seasons, the new edition will place greater emphasis on Boikanyo’s poetic storytelling, while still incorporating dance and movement as core elements of the narrative approach.

Botlhale Boikanyo

“Dance will remain a pivotal part of the tour as I believe that storytelling and movement are intertwined in Africa,” she explained.

The first season of the series travelled across countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal and several SADC nations, building a reputation for its immersive cultural storytelling approach.

Series co-creator and producer Paul Modjadji praised Boikanyo’s appointment, noting her strong connection with youth audiences and her background in advocacy and community work. Co-producer Wandile Molebatsi also highlighted the importance of her role in preserving African oral traditions through contemporary storytelling.

The show recently earned international recognition, winning a Silver Telly Award in the Television – Travel & Tourism category, further cementing its status as a standout African travel and culture production.

Nasty C Finally Reveals How ‘Big Timing’ With Tellaman Came to Life

Nasty C

South African rapper Nasty C is ushering in a new creative chapter with his latest release, “Big Timing”, featuring longtime collaborator Tellaman.

The track, lifted from FREE (Deluxe), sees the Durban-born artist reflecting on success, loyalty and personal growth, while celebrating the journey that has brought him to a more independent and self-directed stage in his career.

Nasty C

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Nasty C explained that “Big Timing” came from a place of clarity and gratitude rather than pure ambition.

“I was in a very clear space when I made ‘Big Timing’. I wanted something that felt celebratory, but not empty. It is confidence, but it is also gratitude,” he said.

The single continues the momentum of FREE (Deluxe), which expanded on his fifth studio album FREE. The project marked a significant turning point in his career, coming shortly after he established his own record label, Tall Racks Records, signalling a shift toward full creative control.

For Nasty C, the new track represents more than just music — it reflects a mindset shaped by perseverance and long-term growth.

Tellaman

“It is me looking around and realising that the people that I started with are still here, and we are not just surviving anymore, we are moving properly now,” he explained.

Built on smooth, melodic production, “Big Timing” highlights the natural chemistry between Nasty C and Tellaman, two artists whose collaboration dates back to their early days in Durban. Tellaman, known for blending R&B, soul and contemporary African sounds, has long been considered one of the most distinctive voices in South African modern music.

Nasty C described their collaboration as effortless, rooted in friendship and shared history.

“Tellaman is a very old friend. I consider him a brother,” he said. “We came up together in the industry and spent a lot of time in the studio together. It was only natural that he did a song with me on the ‘FREE (Deluxe)’ project.”

Nasty C

While “Big Timing” carries a celebratory tone, it also explores deeper themes of resilience, ambition and staying grounded while success grows. The track balances confidence with reflection, showing an artist who is comfortable with where he is, but still aware of where he came from.

Now operating independently, Nasty C says he has reached a point where external validation is no longer his focus.

“I am not chasing validation the same way. I know what I have built, I know what I have survived, and I know where I am going,” he said.

He also noted that independence has given him more freedom to release music on his own terms, with plans to drop new material more frequently and expand his creative output beyond music, including a possible fashion venture.

Nasty C

Born Nsikayesizwe David Junior Ngcobo, Nasty C first rose to prominence with early hits like “Juice Back”, quickly establishing himself as one of South Africa’s most successful young rap exports. His discography includes acclaimed projects such as Bad Hair, Strings and Bling and Zulu Man with Some Power, all of which helped solidify his place on the continent’s hip-hop landscape.

As he continues to evolve artistically, “Big Timing” stands as a snapshot of an artist reflecting on how far he has come — and embracing the freedom of defining success on his own terms alongside a collaborator who has been part of the journey from the beginning.
