From diagnosis to recovery: Lalla Hirayama on the importance of regular pap smears

Lalla Hirayama aims to raise awareness and encourage women to prioritise their reproductive health. In a courageous and eye-opening Instagram post, the media personality shared a deeply personal experience, shedding light on the importance of cervical health and regular pap smears.

A pap test (or cervical smear test) is when a doctor or nurse collects cells from the cervix to check on its health.

Lalla revealed that during her recent visit to a doctor, an impromptu examination resulted in her being diagnosed with grade 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN3).

“I know this could have been a private thing, maybe something to be embarrassed about. But I choose not to be — I wanted to share. Perhaps this may help someone,” she wrote.

“Even though I am very focused on polycystic ovary syndrome and hormonal health, I was not as focused on cervical health. I knew I needed to have a regular pap smear but not entirely sure why and how it worked.

“I was diagnosed with CIN3 and it was scary. But I’m on the other side and my biopsy results are good. A few large lesions but the margins where they were cut and burnt were good, so in six months I’ll need to test to make double sure.”

Lalla said though she is a believer in natural medicine, she is equally grateful for modern medicine and the role it plays.

“I’m glad doc was so comforting, expressing how important surgery was but also allaying my fears.”

*Uthando Nesthembu* Renewed for Season 8, Sparks Speculation About MaKhumalo

Fans of the popular reality show *Uthando Nesthembu* have a lot to look forward to as the show has been renewed for its eighth season. Scheduled to premiere on **January 22, 2025**, the show will air on Mzansi Magic and consist of **24 episodes** broadcast twice a week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

#### Excitement for Season 8

The show, which follows the polygamous marriage of Musa Mseleku and his four wives, has been a fan favorite for years. Season 8 promises more drama and new developments, with social media already abuzz with speculation. Some fans believe that one of Musa’s wives, **MaKhumalo**, might be pregnant, adding to the anticipation for the upcoming episodes.

Entertainment commentator **Jabulani Macdonald** confirmed the details, stating:
> “*Uthando Nesthembu* has been renewed for an 8th season, with a total of 24 episodes. It will air twice a week, starting on January 22, 2025.”

Fans shared their excitement online:
– **@ontiretse27**: “I love this show! We’ve been arguing about who the favorite wife is for seven years now!”
– **@Kes_Bogale**: “Twice a week? This is going to be lit!”
– **@EllaNolz**: “If MaKhumalo is pregnant, I’m definitely tuning in!”

However, not everyone is thrilled. Some viewers expressed skepticism about recurring storylines, particularly the rumored introduction of a fifth wife.

#### Insights on Polygamy

To gain a deeper understanding of polygamous relationships, *Briefly News* interviewed **Paula Quinsee**, a certified relationship expert and founder of Engaged Humans. She emphasized the unique dynamics required for such relationships to thrive.

“Polygamy is uncommon and involves different challenges compared to monogamous relationships,” Quinsee explained. “It requires emotional maturity, transparency, and open communication. Setting clear expectations from the start is crucial for maintaining harmony among partners.”

Quinsee also stressed the importance of creating a safe environment where all partners can voice their feelings without fear of judgment. This approach fosters understanding and connection, which are essential for successful polygamous relationships.

#### Looking Back

While fans eagerly await the new season, rumors continue to swirl around the Mseleku family. Recently, *Briefly News* reported that media personality **Gogo Skhotheni** addressed allegations of a romantic involvement with Mpumelelo Mseleku, Musa’s son. In a viral video, Skhotheni denied the claims, stating that she remains committed to her marriage.

A Look at MaMkhize’s Fortune: Mansions, Cars, and Millions

From luxury mansions to an enviable fleet of high-end cars, Shauwn Mkhize, famously known as MaMkhize, has built an empire that few can rival. However, her lavish lifestyle has recently come under scrutiny as the South African Revenue Service (SARS) continues its efforts to recover millions in unpaid taxes.

## Tax Troubles and Mansion Raids

This week, MaMkhize’s Durban mansion became the center of attention when SARS, backed by police and state agencies, conducted a raid. Reports suggest the business mogul owes around R40 million in unpaid taxes, a figure that has escalated from R12.7 million last year. The increase is partly attributed to a legal ruling that required her to pay a former Royal AM player, Samir Nurkovic, his full two-year contract.

SARS confirmed that the raid was part of its broader initiative to tackle tax evasion and protect the country’s economy. Officials revealed they acted to secure assets from MaMkhize, who had allegedly evaded previous attempts to collect outstanding dues. Earlier this year, an execution order was granted against Royal AM and MaMkhize, but attempts to seize her assets were met with resistance, including a standoff between security companies.

Social media was abuzz after videos surfaced showing a fleet of luxury cars being towed, sparking speculation about whether they belonged to MaMkhize. However, no official confirmation has been made.

## Inside MaMkhize’s Multimillion-Rand Fortune

Despite the controversies, MaMkhize’s wealth remains undeniable, with her fortune built on various business ventures, properties, and a jaw-dropping collection of luxury cars.

### Business Ventures

MaMkhize is a prominent businesswoman and tenderpreneur. She owns Zikhulise Construction, a company that has secured multiple government contracts, particularly for building RDP houses in KwaZulu-Natal. Additionally, she is the owner of Royal AM, a South African Premier League soccer club, further cementing her status in the sports and business world.

### Properties

One of her most well-known assets is her R20 million mega-mansion in Durban’s affluent La Lucia suburb. Reports also suggest she owns properties in Johannesburg’s Sandton and farms in Pietermaritzburg. These properties highlight her extensive real estate investments across South Africa.

– **Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge** – R16 million
– **Ferrari 612 Scaglietti** – R3 million
– **Rolls-Royce Ghost** – R4.5 million
– **Bentley Bentayga** – R3 million
– **Lamborghini Huracan** – R4.5 million
– **Mercedes-Maybach S-Class S650** – R3.6 million

This collection underscores her passion for luxury and her ability to indulge in some of the world’s most exclusive vehicles.

## The Road Ahead

While MaMkhize’s fortune paints a picture of opulence and success, her ongoing tax disputes have cast a shadow over her empire. Whether she resolves her financial woes or faces further consequences, one thing is certain: MaMkhize’s wealth and lifestyle will continue to captivate public interest.
