Hailey Bieber turns heads in green amid marriage rumours
Hailey Bieber stunned New Yorkers on Saturday night, stepping out in a striking green satin mini dress and kitten heels. Just a day earlier, Hailey was spotted without her wedding ring, sparking fears for the couple's relationship. This came after a reported heated argument between the pair on Father's Day, when Hailey allegedly called Justin a 'child.' The incident followed a series of concerning social media posts from Justin, including bizarre messages and private admissions of feeling 'traumatised.' Despite the drama, Hailey appeared unbothered as she arrived in the city. The model shielded her eyes with sunglasses and was accompanied by her bodyguard, according to Page Six. She looked bronzed and radiant, showing no visible signs of distress. An insider revealed, 'Hailey was beyond furious after Justin's posts. She begged him to seek professional help instead of airing his struggles online.' The source added that the couple's relationship has been rocky for months, with tensions rising after Justin's controversial behaviour. Justin, 31, did not publicly acknowledge Hailey or their nine-month-old son, Jack, on Father's Day. He instead shared cryptic posts and private messages. Hailey Bieber, meanwhile, shared one of Justin's photos of their family but made no public tribute to him. The couple's troubles have drawn widespread attention, with fans expressing concern over their future. Hailey's return to wearing her wedding ring may signal a desire to maintain their bond despite the challenges. Hailey Bieber's glamorous appearance in New York, coupled with her ring's return, suggests she is standing strong amid the turmoil. As one fan commented, 'She looks stunning and resilient. We hope they find peace soon.' As the couple navigates their difficulties, many will watch closely, hoping for a happy resolution.

Mbombelan filmmaker bags five awards
Award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer Sven Musica took home one silver and four gold awards at this year's International Tourism Film Festival Africa, held at Hotel Sky in Johannesburg earlier this month. 'We are extremely grateful for these awards, and to see that our work is making a difference in the world,' Musica shared. He celebrated the achievement with Love Africa Marketing, who co-produced the films. The gold awards were for Caleb – Beyond the Bite, Raging to Nature, Lazy Lagoon, and Maloti Drakensberg TFCA – Boundless Southern Africa. He received a silver award for Ruaha River Lodge. ALSO READ: Watch: Lion birth captured on film in Mpumalanga Each film tells a different story, but one that particularly resonated with audiences was the story of Caleb, a shark attack survivor. Taking viewers on a deeply personal journey, the story follows a young man who lost his leg in a traumatic incident and bravely confronts his fear by diving with sharks. The film aims to shift public perceptions of sharks and highlight their vital role in marine ecosystems. 'Stories like these are truly inspiring and incredible to witness,' Musica said. He spoke about the challenges involved in creating such productions. 'For the film, Raging to Nature, I had to hang from a cliff and shoot next to a rushing waterfall, which was quite daunting,' he shared. He added that extreme weather conditions and timing are unpredictable factors that can significantly affect a shoot. Musica is dedicated to telling people's stories and sharing their passions with the world. His eye for detail and gift for storytelling are what make his work truly stand out. He and his wife, Karen, founded their own photography and video production company, Phonix Capture, in 2007. They have enjoyed considerable success producing promotional content for clients such as Hoërskool Nelspruit and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. ALSO READ: A feel-good film you can't miss out on Rather than create a conventional school video, Musica chose to tell the story from the perspective of a Grade One learner writing about finding the best school. His video for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show celebrated South Africa's iconic proteas and their history. Musica has plans for future projects in Canada, Lesotho and Tanzania and audiences can expect him to tell many more prize-winning stories.

Scheppel amazes yet again
Audiences at the Fairtree Atterbury theatre come to a Scheppel show expecting big things and walk away having touched the clouds. Last weekend, he again transcended boundaries as his violin took flight from Swan Lake to Meatloaf's 'I will do anything for love', with a mountain of musical mastery in between. Pretoria's own rock violinist has forged a path when he became the first to take this bold step: away from the world of classical violin to becoming a solo rock violinist. Laughingly likening himself to world-renowned violinist Andre Rieu (check the similarity between their hairstyles), one may well wonder if Rieu could rock a violin as well as Scheppel does. Scheppel is adroit at putting together a playlist that binds together many themes and a variety of vibes. Right after some energetic rock, he will segue into the melancholic 'In the living years' from Mike & the Mechanics, which has the audience humming along, followed by Bon Jovi's 'It's my life', which sets the feet a-tapping once more. And never forget his now signature 'Sweet Caroline on steroids' – played for the ladies, he says, but the entire audience sings along – young and old alike. This man's technique on his instrument makes one think of two things (man and instrument) that have grown together symbiotically – his violin's bow fairly flies and his fingers picking, stroking, running and not hiding. Scheppel was ably joined by long-time friend and sterling bass player Jerry Grove, and Bruce Wallace, arguably Pretoria's own top drummer. This makes for a top trio, and the quality of the music attests to their professional expertise. After a standing ovation, the crowd was loath to let Scheppel go. Such an evening should not end, they felt. But the trio will be back at the Fairtree Atterbury Theatre in November, so make a note not to miss out! His most recent single release is 'Eye of the Tiger'. Watch it here: Do you have more information about the story? Please send us an email to bennittb@ or phone us on 083 625 4114.
