Americans roast South African’s Anele for saying Kelly Rowland is ugly

Image
    Americans are on twitter roasting South Africa’s Anele Mdoda for calling Kelly Rowland ugly. Anele’s 2019 tweets finally caught up with her and it’s not been a good site. The South African media personality has been trending on Twitter as American Twitter users take turns to drag her for her comments about Kelly Roland being ugly without makeup on. This week, South Africans witnessed how US singer Kelly Rowland shaded media personality Anele Mdoda who said that she was the least pretty of all the members of Destiny Child.   The tweet continues to haunt The Breakfast Club radio host because whenever Kelly Rowland trends, so does she. South Africans are convinced that Kelly may have picked up on this because she just headed online to share a snap of herself rocking the same yellow swimsuit that Anele wore recently. This left tweeps buzzing as they all discussed what they are assuming is a couple of trees worth of shade coming from Kelly. And now American Tw...

Afghanistan: Taliban shut down women's ministry, replace it with 'morality police'

Image
The Taliban appear to have shut down the women's affairs ministry and replaced it with the 'Morality police' a department that once enforced strict religious doctrines in the country before the US invasion in 2001. Footage on social media posted on Friday, September 17, shows the sign at the ministry was removed, and a sign for the ministry of 'virtue and vice' also known as 'morality' put in its place.     Footage also shows women employees outside the offices, urging the Taliban to let them return to work.     In the last 20 years Afghan women have  gained a number of basic rights, but that progress is being halted by the Taliban's new all-male interim government. Human rights groups have criticised the virtue and vice ministry for silencing dissent, violently enforcing restrictions on citizens especially women and girls but the Taliban say the institution is important. "The main purpose is to serve Islam. Therefore, it is compulso...
