So, my favourite TV channel, SABC 1, celebrated launching their rebranding and a new pay off line last week and my invite got lost in the mail?? Ja, no, the post office needs to pull up their socks.
I haven't really figured out what the noise was about and I'm sure it will take some time given my "sulking" state of mind but I have just one request nje:
TAKE THAT "MZANSI FO SHO" TUNE THE HELL OFF AIR!!!
And no, there ain't nothing sour about that, dude.
I don't have a problem with them replacing YaMampela with Mzansi fo sho but I have a problem with the "mzaaaansi fo sho hooooooo" song, signature tune or whatever they call it.
And it's not like they can't do any better, I mean they had the promo with the guy singing about Mzansi and that was awesome, awesome so why not give us that or something better??
With all the musical talent in Jhb, let alone Mzansi, I would have thought they'd do better than that.
What do you think? Am I overreacting?
Now, given the changes with the logo and payoff line comes along changes with the presenters. It's part of the tradition.
Adding to the high unemployment rate, 3 out of the 6 presenters were given the boot and the "best" 3 got to keep their jobs.
THE BEST 3
Fezile Zama
Are they serious about this guy?? Please tell me I made a mistake??

THE NOT SO CHARMING ONES....
Khaya Tessa
I'm a bit sad about about Khaya coz he's so easy on the eye but at least he'll get enough time to go to the gym and get his "original" body back.
As for Tessa, my personal opinion is that she was a misfit from day one.
Jabu
I got one word here..."Ukuphapha!!!"
A report from the Sunday World stated: "instead of replacing them with bright sparks, the channel will appoint presenters from the top 20 list of finalists who failed to make it to the successful top six candidates last year when the channel conducted a nationwide campaign searching for presenters."
I don't know about that...
Does this mean we might be getting the Ses'Khona gal too?? I absolutely love her hair!! And since we barely pay attention to what the presenters are saying, they might as well hire her for the gorgeous hair.
If anyone needs to come back for their talent then it should be these boys...
Phumzile Zonke Lindani Mbense
Awww, I so miss Phumzile!!
Staying with SABC 1....
It's amazing how passionate people get about the things they love and believe in.
So, there's really a Tsonga speaking Generations viewer who lodged a complaint with the BCCSA over the fact that Kenneth Mashaba has a Tsonga name (Mashaba), but does not speak the language?
Okay, I know this name vs language thing has been mentioned over and over in my G Spot but a formal complaint?? Isn't that a bit too dramatic??
Do you think this guy is just crying out about the lack of content in the soap? I mean, if we're gonna start analyzing the origins of the characters' names, it must mean the storyline ain't keeping us interested enough, we have to find other things.
Yho but I still think this guy is crazy...so much trouble over Generations??
....but then again, he doesn't spend hours on the net writing about the show, does he?...*cough*cough*
BIG UP TO MY HOLLYWOOD SISTAS...
Just wanna send a big shout out to my gals for getting their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Ridiculously gorgeous Halle Berry. Is it legal to look like this?
Vanessa Williams
Toni Braxton
If you're frowning at Toni's star or wondering why she got it, well I thought so too but don't worry, hers is in Vegas, not Hollywood.
Congratulations on gettting your stars on the Walk Of Fame gals, too bad you couldn't beat me to it. I got mine a long time ago :)
Holla!!!
