Jay du Plessis - Anthem@Trinations

Jay du Plessis made so many South African's prioud with his delivery of the national anthem before the NZ vs SA Tri-nations kick-off.  


Just another reason to love this artist who went solo after being a part of the hugely successful band Eden.  

Here is another song of his that turned out to be a great hit; and he is not done!  Always waiting in anticipation for any project Jay is involved with.

Big Brother Winner!

So Wendell ended up as one of the winners.  Can't say that we are disappointed (did not follow the show to the T, but we are happy for him)

Wendell - Bigbrotherafrica.com
It seems that the more 'cheap', 'easy' and 'sleazy' a contestant is, the better their chance of getting the votes; making one wonder about the general morality out in Africa right now... and with this being said it was a real surprise that 23 year old Wendell from Zimbabwe actually walked away with $200K!


Congrats to him.  Here is how the voting was spread out for the contestants as reported by codewit.com:  


Karen: 6 country votes – Nigeria, Angola, Rest of Africa, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania
Wendall: 4 country votes – Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya
Luclay: 2 country votes – South Africa, Botswana
Lomwe: 1 country vote – Malawi
Sharon O: 1 country vote – Uganda
Hanni: 1 country vote – Ethiopia
Vina: 0 Country Votes



Why some people can't accept the outcome of the votes (that they cast), no one will know.  Controversy has started on twitter with viewers asking how Wendell won...sad to be a sorry loser.  From us, a hearty congrats to Wendell for making it and we feel it was well deserved!  


Interestingly enough, South Africans are asking for a South African Big Brother and that BBA should "go away!"
