Emmanuel Castis - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T12:29:00.000-08:00

Emmanuel Castis is the ever suave club owner Cole Harris

Cole Harris (played by Emmanuel Castis)
Entertainer Cole co-owns the former press hangout, RTs, that's now been revamped and renamed... Coles. His half of the venue was a gift from his then lover, Abigail (Tino's mom). He also has a new mistress - Shakira (Abigail's stand in daughter). Cole will soon be in big legal and financial trouble after a botched attempt to scalp World Cup tickets.

Our singer will soon be forever in Shakira's debt - and clutches. He will also record his debut CD while his club collapses.

Theo Landey - South African Celebs

2012-01-22T12:26:00.000-08:00

Theo Landey is the really,really goodlooking Wayne Drew on Scandal!

Wayne Drew (played by Theo Landey)
A former model (yes, he's that good looking), he is now the production manager for NZH. He lures newsroom staffers into regular escapades for which they end up carrying the can and he comes out clean. Cole and Wayne have themselves a Bromance on the boil as they connive to scalp World Cup tickets. The end result will leave him cold.

This impish ladies' man - who makes an impact on dragon lady Donna - will receive an additional new NZH title and portfolio.

Louise Barnes Donna Hardy - South African Celeb

Sexy,sly Donna has big plans for NZH but what dark secrets does she have?

Donna Hardy (played by Louise Barnes)
Her sly strategy of "divide and conquer", to ensure her temporary position becomes permanent, is spot on. This cougar and Acting CEO of NZH, having assessed all key players' insecurities, is skillfully setting staff members and friends against each other. Plus, her shakeup of the company - including the belated introduction of New Media access - is causing friction and fear for some. She's on the hunt for huge headline exclusives and massive sales. Don't get in her way.

Donna has a sordid secret past. When will it be revealed?

Lorcia Cooper - South African celeb

Her mom is Gauteng's Director General of Communications, MP Fiona Davids (guest actor, Nazli George), an esteemed long-time activist who is said to have access to the president.

A visitor from Erin's childhood will threaten to destroy this respected family's reputation by exposing an explosive secret that will threaten both women's careers and reputations.

Refilwe Madumo plays dutiful yet feisty pastor's wife Palesa

Our HIV+ company receptionist recently discovered her pastor husband, Lefa, has a love child. Palesa endured a miscarriage after the couple's first attempt to have their own baby via Artificial Insemination. Now she's been hit with the news that the considerable amount of money set aside for a second try will be used to pay damages claimed by the family for alleged past negligence of Lefa's illegitimate son, Gosiame (guest actor Thabo Mlangeni).
Twelve-year-old Gosiame will come to stay. He will cause strife. Palesa will make one of the biggest decisions of her life.

a manipulative and scheming jailbird and former CEO of NZH

The former CEO of major South African publishing company, NZH, is currently in jail waiting to stand trial for the murder of his first wife, wealthy businesswoman and socialite, Leticia. He's pleading not guilty. Ha! Aside from fearing for his life on a daily basis - he's already had his feet set alight by inmates - this disliked dictator of print (and of all those who were in his employ) is still playing Corporate God. Son Mangi has been commanded to spy/report back on all office operations so dad Daniel can devise and develop devious plans for his future ... outside.
Our magazine magnate hasn't factored in the basic laws of Karma. Financial ruin and poor health are on the cards.

Lungile Radu - South African Celeb

Lungile Radu plays Sibusiso 'S'bu' Vilakazi

On recovery, Miles joined his son as co-partner in making their new company a major player in the industry. Producer S'bu feels neglected, if not actually abandoned, by his dad's reconnection with Lu and all that attention bestowed on the second son, S'bu's new baby bro. S'bu will be betrayed by his dad and played by his dad's current lover,Naomi. He will challenge his father. He will lose and leave.

Peter Se-Puma - South African celeb

2012-01-22T12:08:00.001-08:00

Peter Se-Puma plays music mogul Miles Vilakazi

Life is great right now for the co-owner of Hustle Records: his ex-wife, Lulu (Lucilla to us), has revealed he's the father of her new-born child - the couple might be divorced but the chemistry is there whenever they're together and that's a lot - and she's asked him to care-take Redemption on her behalf. This was originally his company before David Genaro placed him in a car crash coma, swiped his estranged wife, and stole the family business. Miles has magnificent plans. The Vilakazi empire will arise once more. The new Vilakazi empire will implode very soon.

South African Celeb - KB Motsilanyane

2012-01-22T12:07:00.000-08:00

KB Motsilanyane plays singer, business woman and loving mom Lucilla

South Africa's popular gospel star is eternally grateful for having been widowed on her wedding day. David abducted her, kept her hostage, forced her to agree to the marriage on threat of injury to her family. Close to giving birth, she feared for the life of her unborn child whom David - her former lover from whom she'd run after finally facing up to the fact that he was a very bad man - fantasised was his - an heir to his ill-gotten media empire.
New mom Lu has received Redemption. However, her immediate future is as hellish as a story script will allow.

Pam Andrews - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T12:03:00.000-08:00

Pam Andrews plays sexy Gail October

A co-founder and shareholder of Hustle, our brave-brazen warrior office manager - and she's sexy, too - triggers the collapse of the new Vilakazi empire. Disgusted by recent deceits and indecent behaviour, she will tear lives apart via her tell-all intervention with the Vilakazi men. Gail, who still holds a blazing torch for ex lover, S'bu (although she'll deny it and klap you if you dare ask), will depart for a new job.

Setlhabi Taunyane - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T12:01:00.000-08:00

Setlhabi Taunyane plays the old school Kop Khuse

Good Christian Kop (although he does like a drop) is the driver for Hustle Records. He is also a small shareholder in the company. He will soon be at his wits' end when he single-handedly tries to keep the company afloat through S'bu's absence and Naomi's terrible tantrums/marvellous to behold madness. He will survive a vicious scissor attack, only to be fired. Kop will also do his best to hold onto his house that landlord Fats seems destined to lose to the bank, all due to his latest moneymaking scheme.

Connie Chiume - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T11:59:00.000-08:00

Connie Chiume plays community builder Mamokete Khuse

Kop's God-fearing wife cleans the KO Sports Palace and runs a Spaza (shop in home). Despite her strong faith, there's a hole in her heart: she misses her town planner son Stone (Zenzo Ngqobe) whom she initially shunned when she found out he was gay. She still believes she was the one who drove him to move to the Cape, even though his childhood friends rejected him after his coming out. There was that, plus his recovery from donating a kidney to his - initially a stranger - biological dad. Jacob was Kop's brother and her first true love - yet another family secret kept for years. Then Stone's deadbeat dad hit the road again straight after the op, thanks very much. Now somebody else will live in Stone's former room, out back, causing so much trouble it will again make Mama Kete the focal point of nosy, nasty gossip.

Nokuthula Ledwaba - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T11:57:00.000-08:00

Nokuthula Ledwaba plays pretty songbird-turned-med student Tshidi

Our former pop princess has discarded the bright lights of stardom (and her drug addict past) to settle down and become a medical student. It's all dutiful studying and staying at home for Tshidi as she constantly tries to reassure her parents, that that was then and this is now, and they no longer have to worry

2012-01-22T11:54:00.000-08:00

Mduduzi Mabaso plays the streetwise Suffocate

The tough and surly owner of Soweto's famous Kilowatt Club (a disused power station), he's an ex-con done good. He doesn't bear fools gladly and holds his own in the boxing ring or in a knife fight with Tsotsis (thugs). He hasn't had much luck with women though.
Suffocate hosts an annual Christmas party for orphans in his hood and has informally adopted a former street kid who now attends a plush private boarding school. He'll lend money to mates in dire straits. But above all, he's a businessman.
Big Tip: be nice to his unofficial bouncers, Toolkit and Speshil.

Mpho Molepo plays Fats - Rythym city - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T11:52:00.000-08:00

Mpho Molepo plays the cheerful Fats

He owns Soweto's KO Sports Palace (a run down gym that Nelson Mandela is supposed to have frequented back in the day) and is the landlord of the house in which the Khuse family lives. He is also the self-declared unofficial business partner of Suffocate. At 30, big and blundering Fats - who still lives at home with his mom - has previously bungled a series of personal business ventures all meant to make him stinking rich.

Jamie Bartlett - Rythm city - South African Celeb

2012-01-22T11:49:00.000-08:00

Jamie Bartlett played David Genaro

head of renown Redemption Records, is dead. He was mortally wounded in March after being shot three times, point blank, during his wedding celebrations. His killer: sex worker, Gina...just one of the many, many people on this psychopath's long list of victims whom he either murdered, physically tormented or emotionally humiliated and destroyed...for sheer, inhuman pleasure. The world is now a better, certainly safer, place.

DAN SKINSTAD
Law student and younger brother to well known South African rugby player Bob Skinstad, Dan suffers from Cerebral Palsy. HIs decision to join Riaan’s expedition to Iceland was part of a personal mission to test his mental and physical limits, and become an inspiration to people afflicted by physical limitations, or those with a poor self-image.

a story that could reach, and positively impact, countless others.

Lorna Maseko

South African Celeb : Lorna Maseko
Dynamic, vivacious and business savvy are just some of the words to describe Lorna Maseko, not to mention petite and delicate as a top South African ballet dancer and the first professional ballet dancer of colour in South Africa, making dance history and attesting to the fact that anything is possible... if you believe.

Not only is she an established choreographer and dancer, but she is also one of the most up-and-coming MCs South Africa has to offer, hosting events such as the Annual Vukani Fashion Awards, The Massed Choir Festival as well as giving motivational talks to under-privileged girls. This is part of her heartbeat, to give back to those who are less fortunate than herself.

In 2007 she was chosen as November Woman In Action by True Love Magazine and was selected as the final top 12 for the Top Billing presenter search competition. She was also nominated as the Cosmopolitan Awesome Woman in December 2007, but she wasn’t going to stop there. In 2009 she launched her fragrance Pirouette by LornaM, this is the mark that symbolises the change Maseko has bought into the South African ballet industry. A symbol that will live beyond her years!

Lorna has worked as a presenter and producer of an entertainment programme called Afro Showbiz News as well as co-hosted and produced a live current affairs, magazine breakfast show, The Weekender on SABC News International (previously known as SABC Africa) – yet again adding another element to this darling bud of Africa.

But her most recent achievement - and, we think, one of her greatest! - is becoming a Top Billing presenter where she impresses audiences no end and has added an air of grace to the screen.

Aidan Bennetts

South African Celeb : Aidan Bennetts
Aidan attained his Bachelors' degree in Fine Art at the University in Cape Town in 2004. His work clearly exhibits an intuitive understanding of the three-dimensional form. Branching out from sculpture towards interior and product design was one that came naturally. Fine-art principles are effortlessly translated into the commissioned interiors and products he both conceptualizes and creates.

His work encompasses a variety of mediums, including traditional and contemporary. Fond of mingling the natural with the synthetic, Aidan develops signature creations by maintaining a dynamic use of resources.
Aidan's problem-solving talents were recognized as he was selected from a list of candidates to make up the team of three as one of Top Billing's DIY handymen alongside the charismatic ensemble of Jeannie D and Janez.
Realising the potential of the new ‘feather in his cap’ and inundated with requests from viewers regarding their own homes he opened his own studio.

Aidan has established a brand that is synonymous with quality and that produces continuously innovative design all the while presenting for Top Billing.

These achievements along with her rich and vibrant personality provided Dhiveja with an excellent platform for presenting. She enjoyed the homely culture of Lifestyle show Eastern Mosaic, working with them for nearly two years before moving to Johannesburg and landing in the employ of esteemed lifestyle and magazine show Top Billing. Aside from her onscreen activities, she has become a spokesperson for Feed Our Nation, a Starfish Greathearts Foundation initiative.

She has always had a passion for cooking and launched Dveja Home Cooking in 2009 (www.dvejahomecooking.co.za) “It’s basically a cooking party – a fun, relaxed, social way to learn about Indian food. I come to your house with all the ingredients, take over your kitchen and get everyone involved in the preparation of the meal. Once the food is ready, we sit down and enjoy our efforts, and maybe I convince a few people to attempt eating with their fingers! I always leave the host’s house loving the fact that I spent the evening with great people and that we all enjoyed delicious Indian food together.” In her back pocket, she also has an International Chef Certificate from Capsicum Culinary Studio.
