Netherlands 1-2 England

Netherlands 1-2 England. In a thrilling semifinal clash at Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park, England secured their place in the Euro 2024 final with a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands. Substitute Ollie Watkins emerged as the hero with a last-minute strike, breaking the deadlock and sending Gareth Southgate’s side into jubilation.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions from the start. The Netherlands took an early lead through a thunderous strike from Xavi Simon, setting the stage for a tense battle. England fought back with determination, and their efforts were rewarded when Harry Kane converted a controversial penalty just before halftime. The decision sparked debates, but Kane’s composure from the spot leveled the score and set the tone for a fiercely contested second half.

As the game wore on and extra time loomed, England’s resilience and depth came to the fore. With minutes remaining, Ollie Watkins, who had come on as a substitute for Kane, seized his moment. A superb turn and strike found the back of the net, propelling England into their second consecutive European Championship final.

Reflecting on the historic win, England captain Harry Kane expressed immense pride in his team’s achievements. “History made. Amazing achievement,” he declared. “To do what we’ve done away from home is really special.”

Kane also praised Watkins for his decisive contribution: “He’s been waiting, he’s been patient. What he did was outstanding and he deserves it.”

The captain acknowledged the challenging road ahead, with Spain awaiting them in the final. “Another unbelievably tough game,” Kane remarked. “There’s one more game to make history.”

Coach Gareth Southgate echoed Kane’s sentiments, emphasizing the team’s readiness and resilience throughout the tournament. “Every player, every member of staff, I’m so proud of them,” Southgate said. “To win it in such a manner shows our character and determination.”

With their eyes firmly set on the ultimate prize, England prepares for a showdown with Spain in Berlin on Sunday. The stage is set for another epic encounter as the Three Lions aim to etch their names in European football history once more.

DSAC strongly rejects the assertion that it has not supported Makhadzi. Over the past 14 months, Makhadzi has been booked by DSAC to perform in several national engagements, receiving as much as 230 000 rand.

The mandate of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture is to create local and global platforms, and collaborations which empower the country’s creative sector. The Department commits to continue supporting creatives, through various opportunities, to take their talents to communities locally and internationally.

DSAC therefore rejects the notion of creatives, who have received support from the Department, inferring that they have not received support to pursue their talents.
The Department of Arts and Culture has revealed that Makhadzi, the popular South African musician, received R230,000 over the last 14 months. This funding likely supports her artistic endeavors and contributions to the cultural landscape.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka wants Chicco Twala to recognise her contribution to her song

Yvonne Chaka Chaka, the renowned South African singer, has called on Chicco Twala to recognize her contribution to one of her songs. Yvonne, known for her iconic hits and significant impact on the music industry, feels that her involvement in the song has not been adequately acknowledged by Chicco Twala, a prominent musician and producer.

The specifics of the song in question and the nature of her contribution have not been detailed, but Yvonne’s request highlights an ongoing issue in the music industry where artists often seek proper recognition and credit for their work. Acknowledging her contribution is important not only for her legacy but also for ensuring that all artists receive due credit for their creative efforts.

This call for recognition by Yvonne Chaka Chaka is a reminder of the need for transparency and fairness in the music industry, where collaboration and contributions should be properly credited to uphold the integrity and respect of all involved parties.

The song from Chaka Chaka’s Thank you Mr DJ album was released in 1987 and composed by musician and record producer Sello ‘Chicco’ Twala and producer and music writer Attie van Wyk. During an interview on Newzroom Afrika, Chaka Chaka known as the “Princess of Africa,’ said that she was never credited for her “Everybody” part in the song.

She said that Twala cheated her by not listing her as the co-composer of the song. The song is listed as being produced and composed by Chicco Thwala and Attie Van Wyk. “Umqombothi was written by Chicco, but I added some elements to it. I added that Nawu! Nawu! Madoda and Everybody parts. I have never received a cent from that project. They didn’t credit me, and back then, I was young and clueless about the music industry. This is the first time I’m speaking out about this,” she said.

The inner workings of a Colt .45 “Peacemaker” revolver, a symbol of the American Wild West, have become the focus of Alec Baldwin’s trial for the 2021 fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a New Mexico movie set.

Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin were among those watching in the courtroom as lawyers on Tuesday questioned 70 prospective jurors about issues such as their knowledge of the case and attitude toward gun experts, the start of a process to choose a 12-person jury.

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer seated the jury and opening statements begin on Wednesday, nearly three years after Baldwin pointed his gun at Hutchins as she set up a camera shot inside a movie-set church about 20 miles southwest of Santa Fe.
