Tjo my new job is keeping me busy shem and I get to miss a lot of events (I’m not complaining) let’s see what I caught for the week.
After Xstina pulling out the ANN7 Awards (SATY 2015) we’ve recently discovered media will not be invited on the actual Awards ceremony that will be held tomorrow at Dome… Maybe it’s because our President and most of the dignitaries have confirmed attendance and ANN7 (The Gupta’s) don’t want their silent partners’ shenanigans to be out in the public… If you do go please let us know how things went down. I hope they won’t be asking media to publicize their press releases…
It’s official; Oscar Pistorius will be walking out of prison and straight to house arrest this coming Tuesday. I am not even going to talk more about this. The world we live in is very unfair. You win some, you lose some. A lot of people are not happy but complaining won’t change the situation. At the end, things always work out the way they are supposed to, so we gotta keep it going.
*in other news* Did you guys hear about the 20year old woman that was arrested for trying to sell her 19 month old baby on Gumtree? Gumtree bahlali? WTH?? She was selling her baby for R5000. Well, apparently usisi was arrested in Pietermaritzburg after an undercover agent pretended to want to buy the 19-month-old baby from her. The baby has been given to the social workers. So she lost her baby, lost the R5K she was expecting, lost her dignity and gained a criminal record because now she’s facing charges of Human Trafficking. TJO!!!
Tuesday I stole some company time (I was driving to our Honeydew branch) to attend Cassper Nyovest media briefing at the Coca Cola Dome. Talk about an impromptu and childish gathering. Allow me to explain. Firstly, there was no agenda put forward, it was a candy store. Each kid grabs what they want. There was nothing professional or organised about that briefing at all. He got there and said it was a hold no barres briefing. This was clearly going to be interesting. But it wasn’t.
Instead people asked about his ticket sales and he said, “We short of 4000 ticket sales to fill up“. Then he went philosophical on us about an African kid having a dream. About how much he wanted to be in the same level as Kanye West and Jay Z. But then he took the dream a notch too far when he said he would pull out of events with 30 artists. He would not be performing at clubs like Taboo as he wouldn’t get there to their level with that mindset. Siphi kanye kanye? I think Cassper needs to be reminded that American artists have 57 States to play with, he has nine which four of are poor. If that wasn’t enough, we had to drag out what the hell BP,the fuel company was doing there. It’s supporting his initiative to fill up the dome. Then he says he doesn’t deal with corporates but you can have their money. Mnximmm.
Moreover banners of Fill-Up The Dome that said he is partnering with the SABC are not true, the SABC says they’re no longer working with Cassper on this project, sadly the banners were already up… As for his beef with AKA, that man is too mushy at times and at the wrong time. Boity can handle that we won’t.
Is our Cassper trying too hard? *sigh* Will you be filling up The Dome?
