How familiar you are with Desmond depends on how familiar you are with Nigerian movies. On the continent  at large he is probably most widely known fr the DSTV ad where he talks very enthusiastically about PVR. Nollywood fans would recognize him from the more than 200 movies he has starred in so far.

Following the release of his latest movie, The Place, the handsome actor has boasted of refunding whatever amount of money his fans may spend in the cause of either going to the cinema to see the movie or purchasing a DVD copy of it, if they found the flick wanting in any way. According to him, “The Place” which is already released on DVD. He went ahead to vouch for the high quality of the movie, saying he’s ready to give money back to anyone who isn’t satisfied with it’s content.

According to the actor, “The Place” is his biggest movie project so far. “I know this will come across as chest-thumping to some people but it is not. This movie is my biggest project so far and so different from everything I have done”, he stressed.

A comedy flick , “The place” written by comedian, Mr. Patrick explores the story of a book stolen from ‘The Place’ by an evil man. It needs to be retrieved before the evil man destroys the world. Produced by by Uche Jombo Studios and Denziot Productions. The Place was released directly on DVD last Monday nationwide. It starred actors such as Uche Jombo, Gordons, Mr. Patrick Onyeka, Bishop Ime-Umoh, Jude Orhorha, Ruth Kadiri and Helen Pa among other stars.

Wednesday night roads led to Melrose Arch’s The Venue courtesy of MTV Base Africa and Citroen. On arrival at this place one is asked to do a mock audition to win a spa treatment voucher at the famous Mangwanani Spa….(All we do is run, run, run away from cameras).

Anyways, MTV Base’s first South African VJ, the hunky Sizwe Dhlomo took to the stage and apologized for wearing a suit. He looked good so we are over it. He was the MC for the night, announcing alongside Timo Horword (sp) the new nation wide VJ search they will be hosting powered by Citroen.

Auditions will be held all over the country (major cities) and on the judging panel is Siz himself, Bonang Matheba and Joey Rasdien. People can also audition online. Last year’s winner, the sassy Nomuzi Mabena couldn’t contain her excitement over this search, “I look forward to having a new brother or sister. Winning last year’s VJ search really changed my life and I can’t wait to be part of this life changing process” said the bald chick.

DJ Vigilante and Kalawa Jazzmee’s Uhuru kept the crowd to it’s feet with the best music, from hip hop to house. Among the guests spotted there were Rappers Ifani, L-tdo, Sean Pages, Morale, presenters Thando Thabethe, Boity, Mantsoe from YFM. The beautiful Melanie Ramjee, twitter’s NomaTQ and the beautiful Akhona Ndungane and our own Denis Phatudi as well the BET nominee Donald. Great food, awesome company, great vibe and…okay that’s it.

As we all know your girl B* was announced as the first South African face for Revlon and while you’re anticipating to see her face on the billboards, expect to see her there for a couple of years. From the corridors this deal was initially earmarked for 3 ladies but after a few tragedies and dramatic turns Bonang Matheba emerged as the first Mzansi girl to be put next to the likes of Haile Berry, Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde.

The event was hosted at Turbine Hall, the setup, long ass tables with a 3 course meal but only for those that managed to get seats, LOL. Either than that, it was a perfect evening fit for a queen. Girls and boys that like to play with make-up and nail polish were given a make-over prior to the dinner while us who’s favourite game is called “by the bar” camped right next to it. Bonang gave a touchy thank you speech, we danced and received a goodie bags for the women in our lives, talk about a win-win. This is who we managed to spot before the slurring began:

TV Presenter and Muzart vocalist, Rorisang Thandekiso

Event MC, Anele Mdoda

TV Presenter and Radio Personality, Leeroy Wright

Fashion Designer, Sylvester Falata 

PR ladies, Farah Fortune and Melanie Ramjee

 Refilwe Modiselle

 Revlon make-up artist, Vuyo Varoyi

Trans Africa Station Manager Mika Stefano messing around with a brush

Eda Rose

Every Monday we try to bring you a bit of positive affirmation to start your week off, usually filled with quotes, motivational stories and all that good stuff. Since today is a holiday and we were told a picture speaks a thousand words we decided to try a lighter approach this time around. Let us know what you think of the different style.

Some of the reasons you are encouraged to keep aspiring to be a better version of yourself are pretty obvious but in case they are not please allow us to clarify.

Eat a healthy diet and exercise because then your body will look like this:

Or this

Run to the nearest gym and get your future

Always surround yourself with positive people who inspire you and push you to even greater heights. No matter how much of a trailblazer you appear to be chances are others paved the way. Learn from their wisdom.

Don’t wait until you are stressed out or for a special occasion to pamper yourself. Make it a regular part of your routine. Remind yourself that you are an awesome person and you deserve to be well taken care of.

Try to go on holiday as often as you can afford to.

You will never be more beautiful than you are right now so appreciate yourself.

Having said that please look after your skin so that you can look good for many more years to come.

Go to school, study hard, read books to broaden your mind , travel often. Because if you do one day you will meet the worlds sexiest man and even though you are wearing All stars and no make up he will spend the entire night talking to you and mixing you Tanqueray drinks while ignoring the hordes of girls in tight dresses throwing themselves at him. I know this for a fact because that was me the night I met Idris Elba.

Yes, that guy

And yes, he is every bit as delicious in real life……

Yolisa is counting down the days till she sees that man again and exercising a lot. For control.

Radio Presenter, House and Club DJ and new health enthusiast Sikhululo Maliwa known to many as Lulo Cafe remains one of the most sought after DJs and remarkable eligible bachelor. Besides making new music and being that guy on most ladies’ fantasies, he is a father to his only son Sazi. We caught up with hear him gush about the most important person in his life

You are a father to Sazi. What is the biggest challenge in being a young father?

Lulo Cafe: In my case being a young father, it’s being in entertainment and working odd hours. Me and his mother are not together that’s also a challenge, but I’m somehow grateful for the person that she is and how we manage to make it work. In all honesty, not all men separated from their baby mamas are in good terms with them get to have great relationships with their children. Props to her for not being bitter or vengeful. She is doing a great job in raising our son. I’m always with him, during the week we do things together, I pick up from school, we hang out together. It’s not always easy.

What are the biggest life lessons Sazi has taught you?

Lulo Cafe: So much!! when he was born, we struggled to keep it together, we were both young first time parents. He taught me that being at peace doesn’t require external influences you have to find it within you. That’s what he is peaceful, he is the one who pulled together both families, even with my separation with his mother, he was calm. He reminded me so much of what I used to be, he brought me back to myself.

Would you like to have more children?

Lulo Cafe: (smiles) Yes, I’d love to have one more. I’m not sure I’d want it to be a girl though…I’m too soft when it comes to women, she’d probably get whatever she wants…but we’ll see hey. (chuckles)

What are your dreams for your son?

Lulo Cafe: I hope he doesn’t get to make the same mistakes as me, not to say he won’t make mistakes but I want to be who and what he wants to be freely and that he pursues his dreams and explores his passions. There are people working as doctors and lawyers but miserable at their jobs. I’ll teach him the basics of life and encourage him to be happy with himself.

With that said, would you encourage him to pursue a music career?

Lulo Cafe: Well, if that’s what he wants yes. I would be there to help him with that, it’s what I know. Even if he were to go for something else it is my duty as a parent to do my research on that subject and be of help to him. I will support him in everything he wants to be.

How do you deal with your overzealous fans?

Lulo Cafe: ha ha ha!!! On twitter I try to respond to everyone who tweets me or wants my attention. At clubs you get those that throw themselves at you…in all honesty though, I love my fans I know they mean well. Some need the line drawn though. I’m not a mean person and If it means I have to be mean I’d rather not say a word.

You are working on your new offering Soul Africa. Please tell us about that.

Lulo Cafe: When Soul Candi was celebrating their 10th year anniversary I collaborated with Wanda Baloyi and that gave birth to the album. She sang in Portugese and that made want to explore what Africa is all about, and especially South Africa, to showcase how soulful we are. Soul Africa made sense, I contacted a few people some from Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and some artists from South Africa. It’s been a hectic journey but I have been working with incredible people like Moneoa and Donald, Themba January and Model lady by the name Zia. I have these people from different spaces, bringing them into my world.

It’s due for release by mid July, which in South African terms is August. There will be house tracks, there won’t be house tracks, I’m just exploring my musical self. I want to introduce the crowd to a different sound a whole new kind of me.

Is it a continuation of your work or you are taking a completely different route with this album?

Lulo Cafe: It is a continuation of my work. I’m now more aware of my music and the direction I want to take with it. It won’t be DJ mixed and it will be one song after another. It even has interludes…a proper album.

What have been your career highlights?

Lulo Cafe: Everything that happens to me now, it’s all so surreal. I never thought I’d be the front line guy in the music industry, I know though I had always wanted to be the go-to guy. I wanted to help people, just be in the business and not necessarily the front guy and with Audiogasm I’m getting to where I want to be.

….and the challenges?

Lulo Cafe: Whew!! This industry is hard work, very challenging. One need to figure it all out because there is so much that is happening. When you are outside you really won’t know much about it, I know people who have been disappointed and broken by the industry. There are certain monopolies and I never wanted to be under anyone’s wing. I am my own man and that is also visible in how I market myself. A lot of people belong to crews and I have my way of doing things which at times poses as a challenge on its’ own. After a gig, I’ll want to meet and greet my fans and take photos and not be dictated to on when I should and shouldn’t go.

Your star is shining even brighter. How do you stay so grounded?

Lulo Cafe: As cliched as it may sound really, this all work for me. Media is what it is, media and I’m not a super social person. I try to stay as far away as from spaces that have nothing to do with me. I try and guard myself., I hardly go out when not working. I also avoid interviews that are not in line with my work or who I am. I want to keep my life to myself as much as I can. Being out there, doing every other interview is somehow uncomfortable for me, I have tried it, its’ not me. There are people who do so well at these things, I’m a fan of some and I watch them on TV, I want to know what’s happening in their lives but for me the celebrity life is a bit overwhelming.

Now  fill us in on your health venture….

Lulo Cafe: I have a business partner who is a medical doctor Tshidi Gule, she loves house music. We spoke about starting this business and being in this business I took advantage of the opportunity and knowing the type of influence the industry commands. I am part of her Medispace wellness center and in the same building I opened a gym In Motion Studio in Rivonia. The facility has a very health centered approach with physiotherapists. It enables one to get checked and know about their health and embrace it. We want to add playful elements to it, activities like hiking and fun walks for our people. The reception has been great, we have people like Tumisho Masha going there. I am still learning about it and grasping all these medical terms.

Now you are under pressure to live a healthy lifestyle….are we also likely to see you pose topless?

Lulo Cafe: ha ha ha! I have to lead by example, healthy living all the way…as for the topless situation…very unlikely. The point is not to be buff and insanely muscular but to be healthy and comfortable in your body.

When are you getting married?

Lulo Cafe: ha ha ha ha!! whew! I don’t know….maybe when I’m with the right person…..marriage should happen for the right reasons and when it happens it will happen…you never know I could just get married next week. (chuckles)

Happy Fathers Day Lulo Cafe, thank you for being awesome and hanging out with us!

Many thanks to Sheryl Manchisi for the beautiful location.

DJ Black Coffee is an award winning, internationally acclaimed DJ and producer one of South Africa’s greatest musical asset. This quiet and stylish beat maker is also a husband and a father. Jucy Africa had a chat with him and his teenage son Esona in celebration of Father’s Day. This is what he says:

Tell us about yourself…

BC: I am the biggest music fan. Before making music I was a music fan. I started out recording songs as a young boy. Music has always been a huge part of my life.

Who are your musical influences?

BC: I have plenty…I can’t name one and leave out others. My influences are varied from those we consider legends to the youngsters making good music. I admire the young and the old. I listen to all types of music and decide on what to incorporate into my music.

You have enjoyed great success as a DJ, Producer and with your Africa Rising offering and concert. What’s next for Black Coffee?

BC: I am planning on taking the show around the country, hopefully we will get great sponsors and take it to the people. There is an inspiring story behind Africa Rising and we would love to share that musical story with the people. I am also focusing now on building the stable Soulistic Music. I am not really rushing into making another album but rather on the artists on the stable. We are releasing a couple of albums this year. I don’t know when I will be releasing my next offering, maybe 2 or 3 years. Also with Africa Rising it’s not just me but a whole lot of people including the artists I work with.

Are we likely to see Africa Rising touring the rest of Africa?

BC: We would love to see that happen, so far we have been getting enquiries for shows and to have it air in some TV stations around Africa. France and Switzerland have also made enquiries regarding some festivals. Hopefully something comes out of those and that we get to take it to the world. It’s nice to see the great reception from people from all walks of life.

Now let’s talk about Black Coffee the father. How do they refer to you at home, do they call you dad?

BC: (chuckles) they call me dad but the young one calls me so many names. Sometimes he calls me by my name which is a bit weird.

What are the biggest challenges of being a father in entertainment?

BC: The traveling is the biggest challenge. I’m always traveling and many times when I am at home I’m too exhausted. I always try and make time and be involved with my family. I fetch the kids from school when I can, when I can’t I will always call their mother to help out.

What are some of the biggest lessons your children have taught you?

BC: Whew! They have taught me so much and without having to say much they remind me of how important family is. For a while I was concentrating much on my work but priorities change and now I know I have to work for them. My family comes first and everything else second and there is also the greatest feeling at being at home with your loved ones. I remember last year around Esona’s birthday, I had to play in Newcastle on the Friday, on Saturday we had to go to his hockey game. We went down to where I was to play and drove back together on the Saturday to be with him, I had to leave again for a gig in Nelspruit and after all that I realized that I should get my priorities right especially as far as my family is concerned. I made a conscious decision that on the important dates in my family that I am available and not playing, I had to instruct the office as well to know that. No bookings on those important dates.

That’s great. So would you like to have more children?

BC: Ha ha ha!!! Yes one more….we want to have a girl. In that house are a lot of boys now…a little girl would be nice.

 What can you say about the scourge of absent fathers in our country?

BC: To the guys not present in their children’s lives they are missing out on so much. Fatherhood is a great thing and conversations with these little people are always refreshing. How they think is special and a relationship with your kids is the most fulfilling thing ever.

What are your dreams for your children?

BC: I hope they grow to be happy with their choices and do what they feel is necessary for them. I don’t want to put my kids under unnecessary pressure and I don’t want them mentioning my name to get ahead. They have to work as hard and earn their success without using their dad. I will support them in all they want to do and be.

When you go out with your family and  fans ask for photos and autographs, how do you deal with that?

BC: I am strict, especially when I am with my kids. I assess situations though because I know my fans mean well but at the same time I have to be a family man. Some people don’t take it well that I have to refuse them much attention but sometimes I have to draw the line.

Now Esona, what is the coolest thing about having Black Coffee as your dad?

Esona: He’s stylish!! I can talk to him about anything, anything I feel like sharing with him. He is easy to talk to.

BC: Part of the reason he says I’m stylish is because I always bring him stuff he likes and that looks good on him.

Esona: Yes that too, I mean I’ll like something but never be sure about it but he gets me, he always brings me the best and coolest things. I don’t even have to tell him what I want, he just gets it right.

Nathi, you are really stylish! What inspires your dress sense?

BC: Me?? ha ha ha!! Thank you! I have always had an idea of how I wanted to dress and look like. I would look at certain guys and be like “that’s the look I want”. I have learned early that style is not just rocking up at an awards show in a suit and tie but an everyday thing, from the socks you wear when no one is watching, your underwear- everything!! It goes a long way…it shouldn’t be about dressing to impress. I am currently working on something (fashion line) with the family.

You are married to a beautiful lady Mbali, how do you deal with the intense female attention you are still getting ?

BC: (chuckles) whew! For a while I have been out there, from the year 2005 when my solo album came out, now it’s 2013…I have done everything any young guy has done or would want to do. In every corner of the world I went to it was fun but I had to grow and realized that I had had my fun but now this is much better. It’s a struggle every weekend, every other day but I know I have to look at the bigger picture and that means my wife over everything.

Back to you Esona, would you ever consider a career in music like your dad?

Esona: ha ha…I doubt it….

BC: He has recorded a song, he sings and he raps. (laughs)

Esona: If I would pursue music I don’t think I would want to do the same genre as him. I wouldn’t be as good.

BC: I was actually asking him why he stopped singing because his singing voice is quite good. I also think it’s not necessarily about having to do music full time. I know many people with day jobs yet doing music, people like Bantu Soul. Esona has featured on the song We Are One, we sang together. That inspired Louis Vega to do the same in the remix featuring his wife and kid.

 What is the highlight of your career?

BC: Africa Rising definitely!! From conceptualizing it, staging the show,the orchestra, the DVD, I doubt I will ever get used to it.

…and the challenges?

BC: Just like any other industry, one has to stay on top of their game and keep reinventing themselves. You always want to keep up, be on par with the world. Fortunately I travel a lot, I am always exposed to new things.

What’s your idea of fun?

BC: (Looks at Esona and laughs) Pro-evolution. For a while I was the champ at home but he has now taken over. My life is on the streets, my work so any chance I get is spent with these people. I’d rather be home.

 Esona what do you want to say to your dad?

Esona: Thank you Dad for all the support, for everything and for taking me to a great school. Happy Father’s day!

Happy Fathers’ day DJ Black Coffee, thank you for gracing us with your presence.

Thank you Ms Sheryl Manchisi for the location.

To celebrate Fathers day this year JucyAfrica has decided to do a series celebrating all that is great about dads. First up is JucyAfrica owner and the original Smart Hot Girl Nzinga Qunta.

What are  the biggest lessons your dad has taught you?

Nzinga: My father has taught me about challenging the norm. Growing up he cooked for us, took us shopping, did all the thing people believe a woman should do. He is not restricted to gender stereotypes.

 What is your message to him this Father’s day?

Nzinga: He doesn’t believe in Father’s day so it would be pointless.

 With the scourge of absent fathers, you must be glad your dad is present in your life….

Nzinga: I am

 What’s the  quality you admire most about your dad?

Nzinga: He is a revolutionary. He gave up being young and free to fight for a South Africa with equality. I admire that.

 Most ladies wish to marry men who possess some of their dad’s qualities. Is it the case for you too?

Nzinga: Haha! Yes. I’d like to marry a kind smart compassionate man like my dad.

 If you were to write a book about him, what would be the title?

Nzinga: Diary of an Azapo father

What makes your dad cringe?

Nzinga: Ratchetness. He once saw a colleague of mine on the front page of the Sunday Sun in a bikini. He went on about how gross it was, why was she naked in front of people lol.

Dad! Please tell us about yourself?

This is Ntate Vuyisa Qunta. Because my two daughters started schooling in Gabane, Botswana, I guess I had to be Ntate. I am a New Year’s Day father, born many years back. I was born to a family from Ndabeni in Cape Town.The places I really feel at home in are Langa in Cape Town, and New Brighton in Port Elizabeth.

I learnt reading before I started school from my late eldest sister, Lindi. That’s where my love of reading originates from. Besides my government job at Sport and Recreation, I’m also a twice published author on Springbok rugby.

What does being a father mean to you?

It’s been a true blessing. I instinctively loved children and could play with them for long stretches from my teenage years. I absolutely loved preparing for the arrival of Yolisa and Nzinga –attending six months of birth education ahead of each. I was able to assist

in their delivery; clamped their cords; wrapped them around my chest and later cut the cord once it had stopped beating. Wow!

I’ve been exceedingly lucky. All my children are encored on sound values and I trust them with my eyes closed. This is not a result of control. They make sound choices in life based on knowing who they are and what will keep them moving forward in life.

 What are the biggest lessons your children have taught you?

If I say IT that would be a cliche’. Besides, that’s more recent. I guess the speed with which children pick up on languages is amazing. Yolisa started school with a reading vocabulary of 90 words ngesiXhosa and 120 words in English. Nzinga had roughly the same, with Setswana as the home language. Through peer pressure in a one language village, she came home one day and announced that she had forgotten how to speak IsiXhosa. That was it! We became a Setswana speaking family!

After we moved to Zimbabwe. What had been learnt in Setwsana soon vanished. Within two and a half years, Nzinga was top pupil in Shona in her entire grade.

 What’s the biggest challenge in being a father, especially to girls?

Truly speaking, for me this has been a party. I keep my relationship with my children free of other people’s roles in either my life or the lives of this next generation in my family.

Children naturally envied their middle class friends acquisition of fads and fashions; Christmas clothes and the likes. We stuck to the basics –books and educational toys. This made it important to communicate with the girls about our status as refugees. I never experienced difficulties retaining their faith because We communicated clearly about what was out of reach, and there is nothing I ever promised which I did not fulfill.

  Your proudest daddy moments?

A weekly newspaper did profiles of both Nzinga and Yolisa’s businesses, in full colour four months apart in 2012. On her lifestyle, Nzinga indicated here love of books and music and then, nine years into an independent life, she indicated that she doesn’t own a television set. The number one position in her Grade Five Shona class and her position on the television issue are definitely moments I could die in peace over – my proudest Ntate or “daddy moments”.

What was Nzinga like growing up?

Ja! Everything? Ja. Quite assertive, I think. Great friends with her elder sister. What should have driven me to distraction was her tendency not to put on warm clothing with the rapid temperature changes in the tropics between day and evening. Having tried to raise the girls without violence and raised voices there was an evening I went in to read with them on their double bunk bed. There was Nzinga in a summer night dress with the dressing gown slipped over the bed end. “Gown!!” I screamed, and for years afterwards, that was the standing joke between us.

 What do you think of the woman she has become?

Nzinga supports the Bulls at rugby; I mean three generations of Qunta Western Province support gone! That’s small stuff compared to our companionship and trust. Basically She is somebody with a sounder temperament than my own. I have lost composure in her presence and felt chastened afterwards – I battle to manage amidst poor services and incompetence. She handles it better than I do. I’m very, VERY proud that she has sought to be her own employee rather than work in our corporate world and some sectors of government. I do not think either her mother, one of my true heroes in values, patriotism and competence – nor I, would have given her the vision to divert from what she studied and to find her life’s course in something else.

What are your hopes and dreams for her?

The vision that drives her, as indicated above, is her own. The friend she has developed are of her choice. The role she assumes within the extended family and when we are in the company of my generation is what is expected of her age group in African communities. When we traveled to Ginsberg during the week which should have been the opening of the Steve Biko Centre in Ginsberg, we missed the communication about it’s postponement.

We arrived in Ginsberg and were invited to a thanks giving by my long time political colleague, Promotia Mangcu. Her father and mine, were friends for over four decades. Once Nzinga had finished her lunch, she asked the hostess whether she and other younger women could help start washing the dishes.

 9. If you had to start over again, what would you do differently raising your children?

With the support and ties I have ,definitely no changes. This is the life!

How would you like to be remembered, especially by your children?

Firstly as a person seeking to create an atmosphere of fairness and peace. I am endowed with a big capacity for affection and real deep compassion. I think this is what has driven my patriotism. I would like to be remembered as someone who gave a lot to heal and grow my country, my community and my family in that order.

So much has been happening with our beloved celebrities in South Africa. Congratulations to the beautiful Khanya Mkhangisa, the new face of Iman Cosmetics. The 25 year old is very excited to be the new brand ambassador for this international brand. Taking over the reins from the equally beautiful Boity Thulo,Well done Khanya, keep shining.

Speaking of shine, our girl B, Ms Bonang Matheba is doing fantastic things and shaking this industry up by adding her first cosmetic endorsement to her lengthy list. Bonang is the new face of Revlon SA joining the likes of Halle Berry and other hot women. Nothing can stop this beauty in her rise to greatness.

She is also one of the judges of the MTV Base VJ search alongside Joey Rasdien and Sizwe Dhlomo. This Top Billing presenter’s twitter page has been busy with fans and colleagues sending her all their love.

Still on endorsements, 5FM presenter Poppy Ntshongwana landed a deal with Audi. The leggy beauty is beaming with excitement. Earlier this week she tweeted photos of herself on set shooting what could be a commercial or promo for Audi. She was previously sponsored by Peugot alongside Bonang.

These young ladies embody that famous twitter hashtag #nosleep

Nandi Mngoma has also been up and getting what’s hers. She is the new face joining All Access Mzansi, an elegant, classy magazine show on Mzansi Magic. She is joining the likes of Jason Greer and Proverb…and maybe Pabi Moloi who has also landed herself a new job at the soon-to-be launched Power FM.Nandi has also landed another presenting job with Supersport….I suppose she’ll be doing what Minnie is doing for SABC1′s Soccerzone…..

“Started from the bottom now we here” this must be these young ladies’ song…..maybe we should gather them together and make a hot Jucy choir…led by our girlfriend Pearl Thusi who’s star is shining at a magnitude of it’s own.
