AND THE SAFTA NOMINEES ARE...


SOAPIE Isibaya emerged as the top contender at the South African Film and TV Award nominations as it garnered over ten nominations in various categories.
Cast and crew of the Mzansi Magic telenovela turned full time soapie may have their arms full with Safta gongs come 20 and 22 March.
The drama received a slew of nominations including best TV soapie and nods for best actor for Bongani Gumede, best supporting actor nominations for Celeste Ntuli and Pallance Dladla.
The show also scored ticks in best sound, art and costume design.
Since it's inception about three years ago, Isibaya has proven itself a force to be reckoned with despite losing key characters in the form of Sdumo Mtshali, Nomzamo Mbatha and Pallance Dladla. Mtshali and Mbatha are set to return to the soapie. The drama has also had to face a lax storyline and stiff competition from SABC 1's new drama series, Uzalo in the same time slot.
Other top contenders are Binnelanders with nine nods, Isidingo with five, Scandal and Rythym City with five in total.
Mfundi Vundla's Generations which is still the most watched soapie received no nominations while Muvhango garnered one and 7de Laan is sitting pretty at seven.
The off screen drama surrounding Generations may have affected their Safta standing although the soapie has failed to take home any major awards in the past few years. - report by Timeslive/ Bernice Maune

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.

The gorgeous magazine editor of Destiny, Khanyi Dhlomo who also happens to be the sister to Sizwe Dhlomo, is to wed her Nigerian-American beau in December. Knowing this for about a month know, I was quiet amazed when I saw it in the paper this weekend. READ this from Sunday World : It could be second time lucky for former model, magazine editor and now media mogul Khanyi Dhlomo, who is set to tie the knot with her dream man. Khanyi will walk down the aisle later this year with her hunk, Nigerian-American businessman Chinezi Chijioke. The lovebirds met at Harvard University and have been dating for over two years. Khanyi earned an MBA at Harvard Business School and last year launched her new magazine Destiny – a high-end businesswomen’s publication. A source close to the couple tells Sunday World they got engaged on Valentine’s Day at Khanyi’s home. “They can’t get enough of each other,” s...
