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:
