You know I have been seeing some uhmm konje what you call them “has beens” appearing everywhere and when I see these people I always ask myself what does shim do now and the answer that comes to mind is always “oh shim USED to be…..”
Indicating there is nothing they are currently doing now to be in the spotlight but they are constantly where the spotlight is at wanting to shine even though there’s g nothing that makes them shine now. We see them in TV shows like Selimathunzi, RGB, Mzansi Insider, Headline etc talking in front of the camera about what ever.
Some always promise an album that is coming up soon or saying there’s something big they’re working on that people should look out for, like duh can you be creative we’ve heard that lie before.
Some people like to call these people “has beens”. Well maybe they are not chasing the fame they are actually interesting aketsi. Here are some “has beens” that I have been seeing all over media and wondering what they are doing now.
Claire Mawisa is such a beautiful lady and many will agree with me. I don’t know where she was hiding all this time before twiiter. I got to see that she’s still around when I joined twitter and saw people tweeting her and I was like oh Claire the ex-simunye presenter usekhona!!! Then I followed sheim.
The lady is very opinioned she does speak her mind on twitter and tells her followers where to get off when they irritate her. There are those who like her there and those who don’t, like any other celeb on twitter. I recently saw her on RGB talking about twitter and being labeled a “has been” lol.
I still don’t know what she does now after being Simunye presenter. The only thing that I know is that she was a Simunye presenter that has risen from the “has been” and thanks to twitter for giving her a platform to keep herself relevant because after she’s been interacting with industry people and her fans, lovers and "haters"
(excuse moi for using this word lol) she became popular again.
We see her appearing in almost all the social events and appearing on celeb content shows. She even gets invited to TV shows. She was invited on Late Night with Kgomotso last year, on Craze-e’s Sistahood and Yo-TV’s Wildroom. Dunno for what she always talks about being a Simunye presenter and a model.
I never hear what her current entertainment job or celeb status is. I really think twitter played a role in her sudden shine again. Now we would love to see her doing something recognizable again in entertainment.
I have seen many people asking why she doesn’t go back to TV coz she’s beautiful and we know beauty is one of the things that lands people on TV even if they are talentless but Claire is talented in her own right though.
Shim need to dye his eyebrows back to black I mean blond eye brows? Thats not sexy.
Koyo Bala is well… a member of the none existing group 3sum. Gosh, can they like admit that 3sum is no more (no pun). I mean the group flopped ages ago even before the third group member passed away (don’t mean to insensitive). So can they stop talking about this 3sum like it will ever come back? (no pun)
I like Koyo but I do feel like it’s about time shim wakes up and smell the coffee and stop being in denial and realize that 3sum is dead (no pun). It’s even worse now that his chomi and group mate Amstel is set to release an album. I wonder who will buy that.
Well Koyo is one of those people that I think should thank Selimathunzi, RGB, Mzansi Insider and Headline presenters and cameraman for showing shim on TV. I always notice shim side eying the camera when it’s next to him seeing that he wants to be asked something just to appear in that telly lol. It’s always funny.
Nice presenters like Zizo Beda always spot this sheim and give shim his 2 minutes of keeping fame. I recently saw him on Headline explaining the 3sum thing not splitting up whateva, whateva. He also appears in some magz social pages.
I don’t know what shim does now. I hope he is working at least as I don’t see shim being anyone’s back up dancer again, I mean imagine. I know that’s how they started as 3sum I think it should have ended there coz the singing thing just didn’t take them any far. I know they were nominated for a Metro FM award but still.
I think shim should ask Somgaga about how to stay relevant and away from the “has been” list as shim was slowly crawling there. Thanks to Dance Your Butt Off for coming to his rescue. I enjoyed his interview on My Top Ten when he was talking about him being down and out and rising from that.
Maybe she should be a model I think she looks good in this pic
Zama Ngcobo became SABC1 presenter after SABC1 did open auditions. uSisi was lucky enough to scoop the job as a Zulu presenter on the channel. She seemed like one presenter that was going to take the industry by storm when she also joined the popular SABC radio station, Ukhozi FM on their drive time show hosting it with Mr. Magic Linda Sibiya.
Dunno what happened, the SABC1 job ended then followed the Ukhozi job sheim. But Zama is still tryna keep her face out there. Not so long ago she was featured in Destiny magazine that had Bassie on the cover.
I was shocked like why she even deserves a page in a magazine especially a mag like Destiny. They did a feature about her fashion style and stuff.
I was surprised that she even gets a feature on Destiny nogal! Or is it because of her association with Bassie and we know Bassie is mos like friends with Editor in Chief of Destiny mag, Khanyi Dlomo somthang.
Zama also appears in these magz social pages and I recently saw her talking to Kuli on Headline can’t remember what she was saying as I was wondering what she’s up to now.
Konje were is her awards ceremony as she promised she will gooi a new awards ceremony, dunno what she said she’ll be honouring maybe SABC1’s former presenters and ambassadors, aketsi?
Still talking about ambassadors do you remember SABC1 holding auditions for people to be the channel’s ambassadors/presenters? People like Lalla (she’s the only one I remember) and others got the job and it only lasted no more than 6 months lol and SABC1 went all out for this and it was a big thang. I still wonder what happened. Anyway…
Mirriam Ngomani gosh I dunno what is Selimathunzi’s obsession with this girl. I don’t know whether she cooks nice food for them to keep coming back to her place. If it was a situation of a gal and guy one would swear they got him with korobela.
They always feature Mirriam even though she’s not famous now. Yeah I know Selimathunzi is not only about famous people but they show her as a “celeb”.
Yeah there was a time when she was famous for being a model and Prosper Mkwaiwa’s girlfriend but now why must we see this girl all the time especially on the same show?
They’ve been showing her even after her shine has long faded. Not so long ago they showed her graduating at some college and a few weeks ago doing whatever she was doing as I was not interested to watch.
Really now I think Selimathunzi should actually start choosing people they should visit. We know they the celebs invite Selimathunzi in their houses or whatever especially the flopping celebs.
All they want is staying relevant and Selimathunzi’s arms are always open *sigh*.
Khanyi Mbau Mthembu Crous tops this list I'll lose my breath if I start talking about her. So I won’t bother… but she's been lying low lately I wonder what scandal is she cooking.
So who do you think is also in a mission of keeping up the fame?
