V Entertainment snatches up Siya

The Real Goboza has been lost to the twlight zone of the ever ongoing SABC's-a-mess fiasco.

The weekly celeb-ertainment show on SABC1 is officially off-air and there's no news about a follow-up season.

The show most recently ran for it's third season and neither SABC 1 nor the production house Urban Brew have been able to confirm whether or not it will ever be back.

In our investigation to find answers as to why it's not on anymore we got two different stories: one industry insider told us that it's because of the cash crisis, while another told us that it's on "content reveiw", to assess the content to see if it will get another season.

In the meantime, co-presenter Siyabonga Ngwekazi has moved on - he's been snapped up by a new show called V Entertainment, which debuts on the Vuzu Channel next week Wednesday.

Vuzu replaces channel go on DStv Channel 123 - it debuts next Wednesday (1 July) and V Entertainment will be the channel's signature entertainment news show.

The half-hour show will run daily Mondays to Fridays and will cover updates on local and international celebrity and entertainment news. Hosting alongside Siya: presenter and long-time Channel O VJ Nonhle Thema.

"RGB's off-air at the moment for reasons I don't know, so I just took another job," Siya told us. "Honestly, I don't know why it's not on air."

"We get paid per episode on RGB so with it off-air we weren't making any money obviously, so I've had to move on."

When asked about whether or not both channels would be okay with him doing both shows should RGB return he said, "The thing is, V Entertainment didn't have a problem with me doing SABC at all - they know; and SABC knew too."

V Entertainment premieres on Vuzu on Wednesday (1 July) at 19h00.

You know SA got talent but the fact is, people just dont get discovered, so if Siya has to be on two programmes then so be it coz his got talent.  Siya you rock and at the end of the day, a brother needs to get paid!!!!

Yeah Belz, uSiya, Walter Mokoena, & Sis Ribs "excited persons naturally" (= very very loud,  but in a nice way) tl tl tl ! 
I watched the rest of the although it was NOT exciting... Siya showed in an insert advertising the show... he was definately not there "live" unless I dosed off a bit caz the show was just yawn... even Loyisa was not exciting... bebengathi bakhathele nje bonke shame!  We wait 4 the explantion 4rm TVSA Newsdesk who wrote the article.LOL

i didn't wanna say anything about the HOST madala, i hear she's a silent blogger and i know TVSA bloggers love her............so to avoid being called names i decided to zip it...................these days if you say anything to criticize a celebrity you r called a jealous person..........

01 Jul 2009 23:46

But mjj, the show was yawn. Thats the truth and the way they created i-hype you would swear its gonna be this exxxccciting channel..............um, then again maybe im not their target market.I will just be dropping in for gossip girl.

Yes mjj tvsa luvs her.... gr8 that she is around here 2 'silently' hear our loving comments..its constructive, its because we luv her - otherwise we will critique slinetly.... Both the "Presenter" & Loyiso were just "sleepy" / ding-dong last nyt! Onna is more than correct, 'this YAWN"  premiere was just a turn-off as this show was described as " V Entertainment will be the channel's signature entertainment news show" 
Hope Siya has gud reasons of not showing up yesterday - something like he was just late (as an African) will be accepted as long as he is early today to ressuccitate 2 give spark & CPR 2 the show that will otherwise die @ birth! Siya pliz come (just incase u also blog silently... LOL)

Just investigated what's what with Siya and apparently he was on in between, doing links - him and Nonhle are alternating as hosts of the show so when Nonhle's hosting it Siya's does continuity links, and vice versa.
