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.

Jacques on ROER!

Our favorite Jacques was interviewed by Tammy for the TV show ROER showing on Kyknet.  We heard about all the practice runs, making the perfect curry and now we get to see it on our screens.

Don't miss the show!

Ryan Reynolds in SA

[One of my favorite actors] Ryan Reynolds hit South Africa to kick off principal photography for "Safe House" and he has been pictured shooting his scene on Sunday, February 20. Donning a striped shirt topped with a green jacket, he hopped a motorcycleand rode it behind the movie's crew on De Waal Drive on Cape Town. 

Stefan Ludik Music

Two songs shared by the artist can be found at the below links.  I am quite impressed by his music.

Some interesting background information:  

Mambaonline:  

"Stefan Ludik first came to our attention thanks to his turn as a housemate - representing Namibia - in Big Brother Africa in 2003. Without a doubt, the best looking man to inhabit the Big Brother house in South Africa, his blonde good looks, contagious smile and easy nature made him an instant favourite of any admirer of the male specimen. For many, there was little point in continuing to follow the show after he was tragically voted out.
Stefan next showed up in the daily M-Net soap Egoli, as the lawyer Werner Kranz. And while the show is not particularly demanding on the thespian front, Stefan has shown a natural ease with the camera over the last few years.

"Stefan Ludik thrilled audiences on Africa's Satelite Channel DStv's version of the popular Big Brother phenomena. Stefan's quirky personality and interesting views entertained while his toned physique was something for the eye.  Stefan is now playing the straight-talking legal eagle Werner Krantz in South Africa's Longest running soap opera, "Egoli - Place Of Gold". 

In 2009, Stefan was also announced the Cleo Magazine's bachelor of the year!  He also represented the Namibian u/19 cricket team at the World Cup in Sri Lanka just after he matriculated.  He is doing very well for himself and has put away quite a few awards throughout his career.

Mr South Africa 2011

The winner of Mr SA 2011 was crowned tonight at the Silverstar Casino.  If I have to say so, it was unexpected (people in general are all asking "really?"), but the winner is Adriaan Bergh.
