No Stranger to 5Breakfast and our Pants on Fire feature, Jimmy Nevis joinsus in studio for round two.

MTHA AND TOM ARE THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE 5FM FAMILY. THEYWILL BE PRESENTING 5 WEEKEND EARLY MORNINGS FROM 4AM TO7AM EVERY SATURDAY MORNING.

Yesterday morning former MP and Speaker of Parliament Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was making her way out of her residence in Bruma on the East of Johannesburg heading to the Littleton Police Department to hand herself over. As her car drove off a journalist panned their camera to capture the departure and we all caught a glimpse of an unprecedented eyewitness to the drama unfolding in the quiet suburb at that time of the morning.

Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has handed herself over to the Police. We have Senior Political Reporter: Samkele Maseko who is at the police station.

They say laughter is the best medicine, and this is just what the doctor ordered. In a world of serious politics and stuffy ceremonies, she's the breath of fresh air we all need. Sometimes, the best way to make an entrance is to make a splash. The Minister might have wanted a photo op, but Tyla gave him a dance party instead. This was actually a carefully choreographed dance move, showcasing her transition from making "Water" to “Making Waves” in the industry. If actions speak louder than words, then Tyla greeting dignitaries with dance moves is shouting from the rooftops “Forget handshakes and formalities – This is the new protocol”. And we're here for it. Tyla's protective stance over her Grammy isn't just about safeguarding an award; it's about preserving the integrity of her hard work and talent. After all, who wouldn't want to protect something made of solid gold? Just as Tyla was coerced into a photo op with Nancy Pelosi, her encounter with Minister Zizi Kodwa highlights the disparity between genuine recognition and forced celebrity endorsements. As Jay-Z aptly put it, "We don't believe you, you need more people." Ladies and Gentlemen, Tyla is making a socio-political statement from the Youth!  “THE SNUB" is the first movement in a four part dance of independence and freedom aimed at liberating the youth, celebrities and voters from the shackles of societies expectations of us. Tyla's "SNUB" is a reminder that in this world, sometimes you have to dance to your own beat – even if it means stepping on a few toes. “THE SNUB” is a water-themed rebellion against the expectation that the youth and celebrities must always play nice. Tyla's making waves, and she's not afraid to get a little wet in the process. By debuting her new dance routine now, as the Nation heads into the peak of Election Season, Tyla is flipping the script on politicians who show up at rallies and in our communities with empty promises and weak dance moves of their own. Tyla is also making a very serious statement on the superficiality of fame and the absurdity of celebrity culture. After an exhausting performance or a long flight home from an awards ceremony half way across the world, who needs formalities when you can make a statement with a simple dance move. By turning her back on the Minister during her hero’s welcome, Tyla is flipping the script on traditional celebrity, youth and voter behaviour. She is boldly stating that “WE WILL NOT BE CO-OPTED FOR A PHOTO OP.” While politicians like Zizi Kodwa may seek validation through association with celebrities, Tyla's subtle snub reminds us that true influence stems from authenticity, not photo ops. It's a lesson in humility for those who overestimate their celebrity status. Tyla's reluctance to engage in superficial gestures with politicians reflects a broader disillusionment among the youth and real celebrities with traditional power structures. In a world where authenticity reigns supreme, empty photo ops simply won't cut it. The symbolism behind Tyla's Grammy snub extends beyond the music industry; it's a commentary on the disconnect between political elites and the realities of everyday people. In an era of performative politics, Tyla's authenticity is a breath of fresh air. This was a sly wink to her fans, showing that she's not afraid to make a splash, even when faced with political pressure. Tyla's not just making waves in the music industry – she's making a splash in politics too. Who knew a simple dance move could cause such a stir?
