Actress Simphiwe “Simz” Ngema is shifting the focus of her career back to her first love—music. After the release of her single “Tiyane” with her partner Tino, Simz is set to release her own music under the moniker Quing Simz. Taking to her social media timeline, the actress and singer shed light on the inspiration behind her upcoming song, “Idliso.” “I believe music is about telling stories. It gives us an opportunity to express ourselves and tell stories that we want to tell. Stories about love, pain, and life in general. Fictional or real, I have an opportunity to tell stories that people can relate to.”
“Stories people can heal from, stories that will give people hope or in the case of Idliso, inspire people to believe in love again. Remind them that love conquers all and with people that truly love you beside you, you can achieve anything. Idliso is a song that reminds people that love still exists and there are still people who will stand with you even in your worst times,” she wrote.

LeBron James joined his wife and sons for a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Miami Marlins on Saturday, August 19. The event took place almost one month after 18-year-old Bronny James’ medical emergency at the University of Southern California. Bronny was training with the school’s basketball team, known as the Trojans, when he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. This past weekend, the James crew was in good spirits and all smiles at the baseball game, where the Dodgers took the win 3-1. This was also the night of the LeBron James Bobblehead Giveaway event, which honored the icon’s place in the sports world. The specially crafted LeBron bobblehead was given to fans in attendance. In addition to a snapshot of the honorary item, the proud dad and athlete also posted a photo of his family on his Instagram Story.
What made the night even more special for the family was the gift LeBron received from the Dodgers organization. He was presented with a $100,000 donation to the LeBron James Family Foundation. The organization is dedicated to creating educational advantages for the students of his hometown, Akron, Ohio. The NBA superstar shared a snapshot of the moment he received the large check.

Carney Chukwuemeka faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines as Chelsea have confirmed that the teenager has undergone surgery on a knee injury. The teenager had been flourishing under Mauricio Pochettino at the start of the new Premier League season and scored his first senior goal against West Ham on Sunday, which helped the Blues equalize after falling behind in the seventh minute through a Nayef Aguerd strike. However, he got injured right after the goal and was replaced by Mykhailo Mudryk as the Blues eventually fell to a disappointing 3-1 defeat.
Chukwuemeka has already had surgery on the issue and will reportedly be out of action for at least six months. Chelsea put out a statement confirming the latest injury blow which read: “Carney Chukwuemeka sustained an injury to his left knee during our game against West Ham United on Sunday. Last night Carney underwent surgery and will now begin his recovery. The 19-year-old will work with the club’s medical department on his rehabilitation at Cobham.” For All The Dogs Cover
