e.tv launches a new game show, You Deserve It.
This Sunday, 22 September at 6:05PM we are in for a brand new game show on eTV. Read details after the jump. e.tv launches You Deserve It, a brand new game show with a twist on Sunday, 22 September at 6:05PM. The principle of the show is that it is better to give than to receive and combines a format that features a game show and a reality show element. The contestants on the show do not walk away with the money they win. Instead, they choose to play on behalf of a deserving beneficiary. The beneficiary has no idea, and does not have a clue of the money they stand to win. Only when the contestant wins the money, do they surprise the beneficiary on location. Powered by OMO, You Deserve It is hosted by Sydney Matlhaku in studio, and Nkanyiso Bhengu serves as the field reporter. How the show works Each week, the contestants have to resolve a who, what or where question with clues that are given to them. However, the clues are not free. The more clues they take, the less money they walk away with. The goal is to guess the answers using the least possible number of clues in order to win the most money for the beneficiary. So, it all comes down to the contestant’s knowledge, intuition and mostly, keeping a cool head under immense pressure. The contestant brings along two or three supporters who are there to guide and cheer them through the emotional decision making. “We welcome You Deserve It to e.tv, the game show is an exciting addition to the channel’s local content offering. The format of the show is unique and entertaining, and it helps South Africans who are in need. We are having fun changing lives and at the same time providing hope for those in need.” Says Monde Twala, e.tv’s Head of Channel. “You Deserve It is a perfect fit for OMO. OMO has always been closely involved with communities around South Africa, particularly in the area of education and child development. The ethos of the brand is about giving back, about making opportunities available and enabling people to strive for a brighter future.” Says Caroline Clayton spokesperson for OMO. Viewers will be kept on the edge of their seats from the first episode to the last. About the hosts: Sydney Matlhaku No newcomer to television; in 2001 Sydney Matlhaku co-presented Studio Mix Live.

Hansa says cheers to South Africa’s dreamers!
To the dreamers with actions, Hansa says cheers! Dreaming big and then working hard to achieve – this is the true spirit of South Africa and Hansa Pilsener, the beer that is brewed for dreamers, is saluting these passionate, committed men and women. From fashion and jewellery designers, DJ’s and event companies, spaza shop entrepreneurs to jazz club owners, the beer that is brewed with the kiss of the Saaz hop has launched a new campaign aimed at celebrating people who are the movers and shakers, hustlers and doers of their communities, taking each day in their stride and making things happen. To acknowledge these dreamers and doers, Hansa is offering a unique break for these businesses to be marketed across various platforms including TV, print, radio, online and outdoor creative. The opportunity will run countrywide and will see Hansa afford the businesses free advertising, helping them to increase their customer base. “Hansa is raising a glass to many different types of talented people who go out every day to make a living, supporting themselves and their families and contributing to the South African economy,” said Hansa Pilsener General Manager, Khensani Nobanda. “We are acknowledging and celebrating their passion, talent and creativity.” More than 20 of these ‘dreamers’ from around South Africa will be selected over the next three months to have their achievements celebrated by highlighting their dreams, jobs or hustle on radio, TV, billboards, magazines, newspapers as well as on the Hansa website, Facebook page and on Twitter. “In this way these fledgling businesses will get exposure and much needed marketing support which will hopefully drive customers into their shops, restaurants, hairdressers, car washes or whatever else their daily grind is,” Nobanda said.

Parlotones preview new album on sports channel.
Fans of South African rockers The Parlotones will get an exclusive preview of their new album when they tune in to DStv’s SuperSport 8 channel on Monday evening. Selected tracks from the band’s fifth studio album, Stand Like Giants, will form the soundtrack to the half-hour Old Mutual joBerg2c highlights package. This is the second time that The Parlotones have collaborated with the nine-day mountain bike race, after their single “Brave and Wild” was used as the official theme song last year. According to race organiser Craig Wapnick, the band’s previous album Journey Through the Shadows had really resonated with participants on the 910km journey from Johannesburg to Scottburgh. “The theme song, for example, perfectly captured the riders’ experience on some spectacular sections of single track in the middle of nowhere. “This year, we have chosen the track ‘Powerful’ from their new album.” Wapnick said working with a well-known local act like The Parlotones highlighted the feel-good factor and South African soul of the event. “The focus of the show is the many ‘sections of happiness’ or single track trails across our great country. We’ve put together some great music and inspiring footage that just makes you want to ride.” CEO of Sovereign Entertainment and band manager Raphael Domalik said the innovative campaign was well timed ahead of the album’s release on September 28. “The Parlotones’ music is always uplifting and cinematic, which makes it easy to place the music to the visuals.” Domalik said the new album, which was generally about standing united and overcoming obstacles together, promised to be one of the Los Angeles-based band’s definitive works. “Stand Like Giants is going to live up to its name and remind people why they fell in love with The Parlotones in the first place.” The first single, “Sleepwalker”, featuring SA hip-hop artist Khuli Chana, is already receiving extensive airplay. The Old Mutual joBerg2c show, which is produced by PT Productions and narrated by Gerald de Kock, premiers on DStv’s SuperSport 8 at 9pm with repeats throughout the week. Wapnick said the highlights package would also be available on YouTube shortly. The fifth Old Mutual joBerg2c rolls out on April 25 next year.
