Gareth Cliff bids Idols South Africa farewell. PICTURE: Web GARETH CLIFF says his "plate is pretty full at the moment" - as he announced his resignation from reality show   Idols South Africa   yesterday. And after sitting behind an odd desk judging the country's singer hopefuls since 2005, where he last sat with fellow judges Randall Abrahams, Unathi Msengana and Somizi Mhlongo - Cliff will venture into financial industry.   "Today I’m in Cape Town launching a new Investment product which will 'uberize' the stock market; Cliffcentral.com is thriving and TouchCentral.fm is turning 3 months old. I’ve also got a book coming out on the 28th of November. I think you have to decidedly make space for new things to come into your life or you’ll end up doing the same things over and over," said Cliff.   According to Cliff, #Invest will allow anyone to invest in JSE-listed companies from as little as R100.   "It will be managed by Anthea Gar...

This venture aims to offer a music, lifestyle and talk platform not restricted by bureaucracy but instead, led by the listener’s views, demands and needs. And is said to be “the stable for wild-horses - relevant, contemporary and independent-thinking”. “I’ve never b...

Being at a concert is my big must do because I love watching people scream. But the tables were flipped this time on me, as people probably saw me screaming at John Legend, but that was the freakiest thing ever to happen to me. Here goes nothing. Straight after Knocks You Dow n hit singer Keri Hilson performed, I stood around with friends Monde Mkhizwana and Itumeleng Motuba waiting for John Legend to come on stage. When I thought it was taking too long, I thought why not get a drink during the interval so I can sing louder with a thrist-free voice. Then the lights went out, meaning someone was coming, and it could only be John Legend. But I didnt turn back I just kept walking out, some guy wearing a brown leather jacket, white shirt and black tie, just touches me on my hand and says “excuse me Miss”. And as I looked back this guy was surrounded by so many guards and I though “my he looks just like John Legend” – but never did I think it would be him. I mean this guy touched me and I...
