Scandalous Zim girl throwing name on Big Brother UK
Our Northerly Neighbour (you know who) must not be very amused by what this saucy young liberated Zimbabwean lass is getting up to on Big Brother UK – pomping in the jacuzzi, menage-a-trois, kissing other gals, talking junk, telling lies and exposing her voluptuous naked flesh for the millions of UK viewers… MAKOSI MUSAMBASI is a true blend of free spirit and lossie.TRONG Makosi has lived in the UK for only 7 years and works as a nurse for about R200 000 a year. She has a South African Mom and Mozambican Dad, but grew up in Zimbabwe for most of her life… Apparently she went to Roosevelt High – is that the one in Joburg? In the latest scandal to be uncovered by the very greasy SUN newspaper, Makosi is actually an actress who was paid about R8000 to take part in the series. Click here for more from the SUN. Well tomorrow is B-day as the winner is announced – watch the press for more juicy details of this SCANDALOUS girl. SO WHAT DO ZIMBO’sTHINK? A British-based Zimbabwean website, newzimbabwe.com were NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Their shame and distaste reads like this: THIS is the bare torso of Makosi Musambasi as seen by seven million British television viewers on Tuesday night. (see pic courtesy of newzimbabwe.com) The 24-year-old cardiac nurse who grew up searching for fame and ended up in Phillip Chiyangwa’s bed [Ed: apparently Bob’s nephew] is taking part in the hit British reality TV show Big Brother. Last week, her dad Rich Musambasi said: “Kosie is a good girl. She will not do anything bad. I am sure she will make us proud.” If this is not bad, then what is? New Zimbabwe.com was slated by hundreds of Big Brother fans when we first raised attention to Makosi’s odd antics. This vociferous group who would cheer a public execution by no means represents the wider working class Zimbabwean public making an honest living. The picture they portray is that of a few belligerent conservatives holding the country back and pulling down the shutters to civilisation and modernity. Hardly! Makosi’s case is about a poisonous mole burrowing into the core values that have held our societies together for centuries. The British taste of decency certainly is too liberal. What is entertainment in Britain often has an air of voyeurism and there is a shared delight in blood sports. Being gay is seen as advancement, no wonder there are THREE of them in the Big Brother house. Sadly, Makosi has put herself and Zimbabwe among this disparate gaggle put up for public humiliation by television executives, rather...
The G-string is on it’s way out… Long live the FULL PANTIE
Yip, it had to happen… a return to the comfort of touche hugging panties and goodbye to the g-string! Women all over the world have proven that comfort will beat fashion by rejecting the g-string and turning back… or forward (depending on their age!) to fuller undies, even boxers, tight fitting shorts and full brookies are preferred by the majority of women these days. RONGLet’s face it, rare was the occasion where a g-string sticking out a pair of jeans was successfully pulled off. Mostly, it looked tacky. Does this mean the visible panty line is back? Let’s celebrate! Read more from this article in the UK TImes...
REPRESENT*ZA explains exactly who we are
If you’re been wondering what REPRESENT is all about we’d like to explain – There have been questions posed as to whether it’s an entertainment site, a magazine, or just a look at Urban culture and entertainment…? Well, it’s a combination of all those things… we like to call it a BLOGAZINE – it’s the combination of a blog (to be explained shortly) and a web magazine which fe…atures a lot of Urban underground entertainment and social commentary. Have you heard the term CITIZEN JOURNALISM? Citizen Journalism is exactly what it says – people writing about the people, for the people… without the restrictions of editorial, bosses, brands, sponsorship – it’s a new breed of journalism that is sweeping the internet world by storm. South Africa has been a little slow on the uptake but we’re getting there – one of the biggest platforms of CITIZEN JOURNALISM is BLOGGING, there are nearly 10 million blogs throughout cyberspace. BLOGS are individual text-based web spaces typically run by individuals, who start a BLOG using existing and free software and update it on a regular basis with their views, news and opinions. They cover everything you could ever imagine. From the bizarre to the absurd. What differentiates a BLOG from a NORMAL WEBSITE? Well besides the fact that you don’t have to buy a website, a name, the space and pay a monthly premium ie it’s a free platform, a BLOG also allows for two-way information interaction, where readers and web people can comment, send in content, post their thoughts and opinion. That’s why Represent call’s itself a Blogazine. We encourage free content, speech and interaction. We want to share information and empower people with knowledge – like a magazine, but we also want people to empower us – like a BLOG. Represent is run by two people – the content-generator and editor – “EDITORISTA” and designer cum techno fundi “AQUOIBON“, however much of the editorial content is sent in by everyday South African’s, some of whom we only have cyber relationships with to date and have only met since the site is up-and-running. Represent does tend to have a strong JOBURG focus however, it’s essentially a SOUTH AFRICAN BLOG. It’s been strongly SA focused to date and will remain that way, however, as we grow and the incoming content expands and we learn the tricks of the web trade, we want to maintain a GLOBAL outlook, we want to open reader’s minds and in order to do this, it is imperative that we have GLOBAL REACH. We’re about sharing information and opinion and show-casing what’s going on. So now we hope...
WESLEY SNIPES, MJ and OPRAH all SOUTH AFRICAN!
Seems South African is the “must-have citizenship” these days… we’re loving that! Why did it take them so long to realise that? WESLEY SNIPES, MJ and OPRAH are all SOUTH AFRICAN! Only kidding of course, but not only do we have Wesley Snipes using a South African passport – see here for the storyA – but OPRAH now claims that she is ZULU! Here’s the scoop. We know that she has a big place for South Africa in her heart and loves hanging out with us… but ZULU? What do Zulu’s think about the chances of her being a sisi or rather umfazi? Then there’s Michael Jackson who wants to leave the US in the next few days to start his life elsewhere and guess what one of his two potential choices is… SOUTH AFRICA… but not only SOUTH AFRICA, SUN CITY… makes sense doesn’t it. I think a great bonus of living in South Africa is that although us South African’s get excited if we spot you out shopping, correct me if I am wrong but we are rarely found to be camping outside celebrity houses and obsessively following their every bowel movement. We imagine for press-sick stars this must sound like heaven. Let’s hope that we never develop the paparazzi style and invasive behaviour of other more gossip-mongering societies…. 🙂 For more on his decision from FOX news….click here. LOOK CLOSELY AT OUR PICTURE _ THANKS TO STOFFEL FOR THE INSPIRATION...
We will be back!
