Press Release

Mzansi Magic’s first telenovela, iNKABA captures AfricaMagic

Mzansi Magic is excited to announce that the channel’s first telenovela, Inkaba is now available to audiences in Sub-Saharan Africa. This includes countries such as Angola, Botswana, Congo, (Democratic Republic of Congo), Nigeria, Mozambique, Uganda, to name a few.

Since launching on 19 March, Mondays to Thursdays at 20:30 on Mzansi Magic – Channel 107, Inkaba has captured the attention of South African audiences and extended its reach to AfricaMagic Entertainment on Monday, 16 April 2012. The show will run until next year April, with a broadcast on Mondays – Thursday at 22:00 CAT.
According to Lebone Maema, Channel Head: Mzansi Magic, Inkaba is the biggest venture the channel has undertaken to date. “In less than two years, Mzansi Magic has embarked on several exciting projects, but nothing matches Inkaba. We are extremely proud of our groundbreaking proudly South African telenovela. It’s a story with depth, exploring our heritage, customs, vernacular and current life challenges in an unprecedented, highly entertaining way.”
“Inkaba has secured a substantial audience since its launch. This not only shows that people are interested on our offering but they are interested in the story we are telling, the fashion and our interesting characters” says, Lebone Maema, Head of Channel at Mzansi Magic.

Inkaba has set a platform for conversation on social media networks and continues to encourage discussion about the current trends.
Given Inkaba’s relevant characters such as Pascal (Richard Lukunku) and Fumi (Weza Solange), the show’s pan African appeal thus result in the audience demand, especially in Angola and Nigeria.

Viewers in the rest of Africa can catch the drama and intrigue of the glamorous South African fashion industry at the click of a button.

Favourite Interview

Interviewing Caboo Snoop


It's no news to anyone that I Love Cabo Snoop!!! Not only as an artist but mosty as a person. He is this super humble artist, with a beautiful success story that just touched my heart. So when I was invited to go into the Big Brother House i thought, "I'm gonna make sure Africa falls in Love with this kid"! Indeed Africa did, mission accomplished *pat on the back*.

What I loved most about my TOP MAIS interview with Cabo Snoop is how crazy(and embarrassing) it got.
First it HAD to be on the streets, cause Cabo Snoop represents "the streets", he didn't want a fancy location, said it didn't feel "real"...fair enough! But then Cabo Snoop forgets how BIG he is. So soon enough a crowd of curious fans starts to gather as I'm trying to do the interview.

So I'm wearing this micro skirt (it was the designers idea) and a big crowd has now gathered and it starts to get REALLY windy... Now guess what happens?!!!


Well... one of the MOST embarrassing moments OF MY LIFE happens!!!!!
My skirt flies up, right there in front of Cabo Snoop and his "crew", plus dozens of fans who had their cellphones and cameras ready at hand!!!!!


Oh wow, I can still see it in my mind as I'm writing this, I swear if I wasn't black, I'd be turning bright red at that moment, hahahahahah. My everything was OUT for anyone to see, Thank God i was wearing underwear! So now  picture this: You have Cabo Snoop(who's a sweetheart) trying to cover me, the cameraman who shares my sick sense of humor almost dropped the camera laughing his ass off and a bunch of very curious fans trying to get a peak and takes pictures...it was chaotic!!
So after a few minutes, the wind came down, I recomposed myself, finished doing the interview(praying  hard that the wind wouldn't pick up again and give me another Marilyn Monroe moment) and even learned a few new moves from Cabo Snoop. All in a days work. Lol
At the end, as I kind of expected, the crowd jumped on Cabo Snoop, especially the street kids which LOVE him!! So we had to get the police to escort him and his people back to the car.
All's WELL that ends WELL :-)

Never before seen footage of "Cabo Snoop and Lizha's James rehearsing for The Channel O Awards"

I stumbled upon this awesome video, which I know you'll Love. I shot it last year, during rehearsals of the Channel O Awards. Don't mind me screaming and poorly trying to sing along on the background, it was just too awesome seeing my boy and my girl Lizha do their thing! Enjoy

3 Talk


There are a FEW people in this industry I've always wanted to meet, be in their presence, pick at their brain, just because I admire who they are and what they stand for! Noeleen Maholwana-Sangqu is definitely one of these people. I always felt that she was one of the few people who "kept it real", and said it like it is, but in a very elegant, tasteful manner. I Love 3 Talk, besides Oprah and Ellen it's the only talkshow i actually watch, and to say the truth it's the ONLY reason I EVER tune into SABC3. So when I was invited to be one of the guests on 3 Talk you can imagine how exited I was. Not only was I gonna meet Noeleen but i was gonna be in her show!!! I was ecstatic!! The show was great, we had so many laughts, I was surprisingly relaxed, and having Khabonina there was the cherry on top, she's a beautiful being, super funny and comfortable in her own still. I look at her and think, she should've been Angolan!!!

SA Fashion Week

SAFW kicked off on Thursday(29/03) and I was one of the Celebs invited to walk down the ramp for the Motions Sheer Glamour Show.

We were dressed by Rubicon and our hair was styled by international stylist Ursula Stephan. If you don't know who she is, think of every hairstyle you've seen Rihanna with... She CREATED IT!

It was a beautiful well organized show, it's my second time doing it (last year I walked for Gert Johan Coetzee), and I still get butterflies before going down the ramp, I LOVE that feeling!

All the Celebs did their thing, they were awesome, funny, we had lots of laughs backstage and definitely the highlight of the night was having Ursula Stephen create a kick ass hairstyle for me.

Lots of beautiful stylish people were there to see the show and afterwards we took it to Randlords for the after party!

Powerful Angolan Twitter Celebrity


According to Angolan most famous online magazine PLATINA LINE

Presenter Weza Solange is the most powerful Angolan on twitter


Everyone Knows that TWITTER turned into a worldwide Fever. And more and more celebrities from  our country " Angola" are "invading" and wanting to be part of it.

One of the advantages of social networks is that we get closer to our idols.Many post personal photos, talk about their day and even interact with the fans. Some of them have found this tool a new addiction and ended up showing a side that we do not know.

Few may know that former Big Brother contestant is Angola's most powerful figure on Twitter, she's the only one with over 20, 000 followers on this social network.

The model and presenter, with majority South African followers, earned this status thanks to her participation in Africa's most watched show "Big Brother Africa". followed by her hosting on the Channel O Awards.
