My experiences as the inaugural brand ambassador for Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch for the past two months have been well-documented. From the moment the great news were announced, to the guided tour I immensely enjoyed, until this very moment, only a week before my tenure comes to an end. It was a great honour and an absolute pleasure to be associated with this amazing brand. Like I’ve previously written, the ultimate best thing... 

I’ve blogged, tweeted and been on Facebook about my Brand Ambassadorship for Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch since learning of the news towards the end of August. One of the perks that came with this amazing experience was a weekend stay at Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch. I finally decided to take this up and packed for a getaway this past weekend. Where does one begin when they have such an incredible experience? Ok, as soon as... 

After being made the first ever Brand Ambassador for Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch, it was only natural that I would meet my new family and check out the complete establishment. That took place earlier this week after making an appointment during the weekend. Since I had only seen the reception area, one of the lounges, and one of the conference centres, before, I was beyond excited to take in, the full hotel and its services. Upon... 

I don’t usually write about myself, or my achievements for that matter, here. But I have to mention this because I’m just so ecstatic about it. And I wanna get the word out there about this cool and plush establishment.

And after looking at the cool stuff I’ll... 

The Amstel Golden Hour Sessions has become ‘the’ event to attend every month. Last month saw the live music event move to a much bigger Mofolo Park to accommodate the scale and calibre of the artist line up that included legends such as Hugh Masekela and Sipho ‘Hotstix’ Mabuse. This month it moves back to its resident Chaf Pozi, Orlando Power Park in Soweto. The tempo is also changing, in terms of the line up. Hip hop sensations... 

After much confusion about this year’s edition of the MTN South African Music Awards, the combined launch and announcement of the nominees last week put things at rest and in the right direction. With the announcement on the contenders for the coveted statuettes, it was revealed that the awards ceremonies will be held on the 20th and 21st of May at Montecasino. Doritos Ambassadors.

For Coloured Girls, the motion picture adaptation of poet Ntozake Shange‘s 1975 play For Coloured Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuff, is finally coming to the big screens near you.

L-R: Kerry Washington,... 

A few weeks ago Metro FM‘s William Lehong got in touch with me, on Destiny Man editor Kojo Baffoe‘s recommendation. He was putting together a team that would take part in a Volvo Ride And Drive Experience at Swartzkops Race Track, courtesy of Volvo Midrand.

Those who attended the Amstel Golden Hour Sessions last month couldn’t stop raving about Zakes Bantwini‘s brilliance on stage. Apparently the light rain couldn’t dampen the spirits as the masses danced to Zakes‘ fresh and catchy sounds. Plans are well ahead for this month’s edition of the event that runs until December.
