The Sunday World reports that musician and business tycoon Chicco Twala is accusing his ex-wife Thembi of cheating on him while they were married. He says he saw his wife enter a house with two white men and leave much later, in a skimpy mini-skirt. Chicco was so embarrassed that he chose not to include this juicy bit of info in his divorce decree. One day, he says, he arrived home in the wee hours of the morning from a business meeting and found that Thembi was not in the house.
He soon received confirmation of her cheating ways when he followed her and the two white men to a private residence in Hyde Park. She finally emerged four hours later, looking ruffled and unkempt. Chicco says he jumped out of the car and started punching on one of the men.
Thembi denies being unfaithful and says Chicco is only trying to destroy her.

Sello Chicco Twala Papa Stop The War
Tears are running down her face now
You can see she don’t want him to go to war
Scream and shout
“Daddy stay home”
Ask if he’s gonna come back home
Papa’s never home when we need him
He always talks about war
Papa, Papa, can’t you stop the war?
Papa, Papa, can’t you stop the war?
We’re missing you, Papa
Can’t you stop going to the war now
Always fighting
No solution
Stay home
Papa, we need you
Papa’s never home when we need him
He always goes to war
Papa, Papa, can’t you stop the war?
Papa, Papa, can’t you stop the war?
Papa, Papa, stop the war
Papa, yo, stop the war
Papa, Papa, stop the war
(Wo, Papa) Papa, yo, stop the war
(Papa, Papa, stop it) Papa, Papa, stop the war
(Papa, Papa, can’t you stop the war?)
(Papa, Papa, can’t you stop the war?)
Papa, Papa, stop the war
Papa, yo, stop the war

Stop the war
Listen to the voice of reason
Words of wisdom have to be ushered
A better world has to be built
Listen to the voice of reason
Now is the time
To unchain the minds
Now is the time
To unchain the hearts
Images of a new dream
Images of a new society
Should emerge
Hearken the voice of reason
Racial hatred must cease
Killing machines must end
The death factories must close
A ticking time-bomb must be disposed
And the dark of peace must reign
Racial venom is like social dynamite
Racial venom is like social dynamite
It is like a revival of a perilous syndrome
A syndrome of death and destruction
This is the voice of concern
A voice of social redemption
An eye for an eye makes the world blinded
Reconciliation and reconstruction
Is like a dark cloud
Giving way to the blue sky
Humankind must put an end to war
Or war will put an end to humankind
Africa and the world
Cannot afford self pity
If something is not worth living for
It is not worth dying for
Yes this is the voice of reason
In search of liberty
Eternally
Humankind think positive
Choose life not death
This is the voice of reason
That shakes the conscience of humankind
That was the voice of reason

Chicco Twala to Prasa: ‘Pay up our R12.4 million … now’
Source; https://city-press.news24.com
Musician and businessperson Sello “Chicco” Twala and his business partner Solly Segalo are demanding R12.4 million from the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa), saying it defaulted on 11 months of payments to their communications agency Blue Flame.
In 2013 Blue Flame scored a sizeable contract to render marketing and communication services to Prasa.
“It is sad that they are treating us like criminals. We have pitched like any other company and we got the contract,” a frustrated Twala told City Press.
“I blame the new board for sabotaging us – I’ve put my other business interests on hold to work on this project. Little did we know we would encounter financial challenges.”
But Prasa’s group chief executive, Sibusiso Sithole, said Twala and Segalo’s claims had been investigated and found to be unsubstantiated: “We’ve written to Twala and Segalo informing them that they have no legitimate claim against Prasa. This has been confirmed by an independent legal opinion that we sought and both parties are free to take civil action against us.”
On Thursday Sithole admitted the organisation, which has been in the headlines for allegations of corruption and state capture, is struggling to survive and is in a broken state.
He blamed poor governance, corruption and leadership instability.
But Twala’s having none of it.
“They should have told us from the beginning they were bleeding instead of trying to get away with not paying us,” he said.
Four months ago attorneys Amod and Van Schalk served a letter of demand to Prasa on behalf of Blue Flame. Segalo said Prasa ignored it.
The veteran music producer claimed that in May this year Prasa’s corporate secretary, Lindikhaya Zide, agreed to pay the money, but Sithole allegedly made an unreasonable request via an email from an assistant that Blue Flame give Prasa a R1.8 million discount on the R12.4 million.
City Press has seen the emails between Blue Flame and Prasa.
Prasa did not respond to queries about the emails.
Both Twala and Segalo said they rejected the offer because they felt bullied by the state-owned enterprise.
“In the past 11 months we’ve been sent from pillar to post in a pattern that has resembled what could be deemed as bullying and sabotage. Our payment has still not been processed for reasons that have nothing to do with us,” Segalo said.
Months ago they requested intervention from Transport Minister Blade Nzimande and he allegedly assigned his special adviser Nqabekaya Nqandela to intervene.
Twala and Segalo said they met Nqandela and he told them he was promised by Zide that they would be paid on or before May 15. But that did not happen.
City Press has seen messages from Nqandela stating that he had cleared with Zide that Blue Flame would be paid in May.
On Friday Nqandela admitted to City Press that because of his access to the minister this matter was escalated to him.
“In this case the matter was sent to Prasa, reviewed and feedback was given directly to the people concerned and as far as I know the matter is closed,” Nqandela said.
“How can the matter be closed when we have not been paid?” Segalo asked.
“They kept saying they would pay, the excuses went on and on. Blue Flame’s debt began to spiral out of control and our very strong relationships with suppliers suffered immensely as the agency was left to bleed,” he said.
“Our staff members have also not been paid because of a depleted cash flow. Blue Flame may be forced to close its doors and let the staff go. It’s a decision we’re not taking lightly, but one that has seen us fall from grace because of one big invoice that has not been paid to us by Prasa,” said an emotional Segalo.
Twala said the government always preached that it was helping small businesses to grow, but the same government has killed so many black businesses by not paying them on time pay.
“They don’t practise what they preach.”
