Mzansi fo sho – the awards are upon us

Posted on 22 February 2008

Believe it or not SA has initiated an awards ceremony much like the Emmy Awards in the States.

The first annual Stars of Mzansi is the South African answer to the American Emmy Awards and these awards would be bestowed to the men and women who have been role models in their communities and have helped to shape the history of this country.

I think this is a sterling idea. It’s about time that our celebrity culture stopped revolving around Brit, Paris, Lindsay and other rat-faced-ass-stupid-morons.

Even if some of our celebs are much the same, let’s rather get them in the focus than some American twit.

I digress. This is the very first of its kind in SA and I am proud to say that I support it 100%. Nominees have been laid out in various and diverse categories:

Mzansi Sports Star
Bryan Habana
Makhaya Ntini
Teko Modise

I hope that this awards ceremony is a great success and will become the Emmy’s of SA! To all involved and nominated I say congratulations and goodluck! To all those who don’t win anything, it’s always an honour to be nominated and there is always next year.

If you can get tickets (if there are on sale) then I suggest you do so. If you can’t then I suggest you vote and get involved in that way.

South Africa has lost one of our best actresses there is and to her family your daughter rocked Mzansi. But my other concern is that besides Ashley no other icon to our interteinment industry was eknowledge eg. Zombo and Umanji were mentioned i believe they also played a role in our intertainment industry. So when it comes to that catigory i was a shocked, that even if the died such a tragic death that our youth should be made aware of this illness that is simingly succeeding it taking us the youth
