			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a href="http://www.chianosky.com"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://tharien.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/chiano-sky_thumb.jpg?w=540" alt="Chiano Sky South African female singer " width="222" height="333" /></a>At 18-years-old, South African singer, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Chianosky">Chiano Sky</a> is already making a name for herself.</div>
<p><strong>1. You&#8217;re 18-years-old and your first hit single, &#8216;Sick Sick&#8217; has been snapped up by radio stations and TV. Is it ever overwhelming?</strong><br />
Yes, I still can&#8217;t believe what a lucky fish I am.</p>
<p><strong>2. Becoming a recognised artist in the South African music industry is never easy. How do you measure your success? </strong><br />
Through the efforts I put in and the recognition I gain from it.</p>
<p><strong>3. Did modelling teach you anything about succeeding in the music industry?</strong><br />
Yes, it taught me to be more confident, secure with myself and to accept criticism.</p>
<p><strong>4. You&#8217;re described as provocative. Is this how you see yourself?</strong><br />
I am ? <img src='http://vivadivas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>5. Some say you could be South Africa&#8217;s answer to a young Dita Von Teese in terms of style. Is there anyone who inspires you fashion-wise?</strong><br />
Love Dita Von Teese. I also like Jesse J and Gwen Stefani.</p>
<p><strong>6. What&#8217;s your number one tip for a COSMO girl when it comes to:</strong><br />
<strong>a.) Relationships:</strong> If you&#8217;re my age, follow your dreams, not a man.<br />
<strong>b.) Makeup:</strong> Always take your makeup off before bed &#8211; no matter how late you partied that night.<br />
<strong>c.) Fashion: </strong>Be spontaneous and wear something you wouldn&#8217;t normally wear.<br />
<strong>d.) Social Media:</strong> Try not to get lost in it.</p>
<p><strong>7. Would you rather write a song about a boyfriend or about a secret crush? What would the first line of each song be?</strong><br />
A secret crush. It&#8217;s a lot more fun when no one knows who you&#8217;re talking about. The first line: &#8216;My soul is lacking your spirit baby, my body is lacking your touch&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>8. If you could record with one artist, both locally and an international star, who would you choose and why?</strong><br />
Locally: Shadowclub. They&#8217;ve got that whole rock &#8216;n roll thing going on. Internationally: Mick Jagger. He&#8217;s the bee&#8217;s knees.</p>
<p><strong>9. Your album is set for release in March 2012. What can fans expect?</strong><br />
To have a peek through the window to my soul.</p>
<p><strong>10. What advice can you give to the COSMO girl who wants to start a career in music in this country?</strong><br />
Stick to your guns and go into this industry with a bang! Can&#8217;t go wrong <img src='http://vivadivas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>She’s the bubbly reporter spreading good cheer every evening with feel-good stories on eNews. Linda Mali gets to know the lady behind the news.</strong></p>
<h4>How did you get into journalism?</h4>
<p><img style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://www.jetclub.co.za/FileAssets/ContentCastPromo/0/Tanya01.jpg" alt="Tanya Nefdt eTV News reporter" width="265" height="265" align="right" />I was studying marketing and did a business graduate diploma when I got a call from someone at <strong>eTV</strong> who asked me if I wanted to audition for a position for a <strong>weather presenter</strong> and I thought ‘cool I’ve often wanted to say “<em>you can expect a strong south easter in the cape coast</em>” while pointing to the map of SA!’ so I thought ‘why not?’ and I went, not taking it seriously at all. A few days later I got a call to say I got the job – I couldn’t believe it. I went for extensive training because prior to that, I had no idea what a low or high pressure system was! A few months later I was offered a news anchor position. I nearly fell of my chair! I anchored weekend news before doing weekday news. Growing up I was always a little story teller, interested in other people’s lives. I think reporting human interest news was a bit of a calling – the job is perfect for me and I love it.</p>
<h4>What are some of the important traits a journalist must have?</h4>
<p>At the end of the day as a <strong>journalist</strong> you’ve got to be in tune with current affairs and world news – you’ve got to be on top of your game because if anything goes wrong on the autocue, you just have to wing it. I had some amazing mentors –<strong> <a href="http://www.quirkyhouse.co.za/andrew_barnes.php">Andrew Barnes</a></strong> is a fantastic mentor, he gave me all the training I have today.</p>
<h4>What drives you to keep reporting the good stuff?</h4>
<p>I am a happy person by nature, and to be able to translate that into telling other people’s stories, what a gift! There is not nearly enough good news being reported in our society and that’s sad…</p>
<h4><a href="http://vivadivas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/tanya-nefdt.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-377" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="tanya-nefdt" src="http://vivadivas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/tanya-nefdt.jpg" alt="Tanya Nefdt eTV News journalist" width="223" height="259" align="left" /></a>Name some of your favourite stories you reported on?</h4>
<p>I have so many! I have done stories on deaf dogs that can understand sign language, I have done stories on a granny who received a black belt in karate at the age of 80 – and she literally kicked my butt demonstrating how she earned her belt! [laughs]. I did stick fighting with a 7-year old kid from <a href="http://www.nomvuyos-tours.co.za/township_info.shtml"><strong>Khayelitsha</strong></a> and he also kicked my butt! So I love what I do – I don’t mind getting dirty or getting kicked by a granny! [laughs] Opening of parliament this year was also a highlight &#8211; I did a live report from the red carpet. It was daunting because I had to approach the politicians and ask them which designer they were wearing, and then we were thrown off the red carpet and I had to improvise on the spot.</p>
<h4>What’s your career goal?</h4>
<p>I want my own talk show – coz I talk so much. I would still be in keeping with what I do now and I feel like I have a responsibility to South Africans. I don’t want to veer off that path. A lot of South Africans tune in and to see whats good out there. I want to stay true to that. I want a talk show that keeps it very real.</p>
<h4>Your favourite holiday destination?</h4>
<p>You’re probably gonna laugh but I do quite like camping. [laughs] roughing it in a tent &#8211; I love it!</p>
<h4>You’re in great shape – how do you stay fit?</h4>
<p>I try to get to gym every now and then – twice a week, I have a 14 year old son that keeps me very active as well so that helps! [laughs] he’s got a lot of mates and keeps me on my toes!</p>
<h4>Does he think you’re a cool mom?</h4>
<p>Oh no! They never do! I’m just ‘mom’ and if ever somebody says ‘Is that your sister?’ angrily he’ll say “no it’s my mother!” he has to stress the fact! But he’s the only man in my life and I love him to bits.</p>
<h4>Your guilty pleasure?</h4>
<p>I love sweet things – cakes, chocolates!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/42426039427/"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://web.up.ac.za/sitefiles/news/large/40/37339477melinda-bam-miss-sa.jpg" alt="Melinda Bam University of Pretoria student Miss South Africa" width="249" height="400" /></a>Melinda Bam</strong> loves The Blue Bulls. She admires Mamelodi Sundowns. She is a child of <em>Pretoria – the Jacaranda City</em>. Oh, and she thinks Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs’ midfielder <strong>Siphiwe Tshabalala</strong> is awesome.</span></p>
<p>Phew! She also has a soft spot for Moroka Swallows. Very strange for a down-to-earth Afrikaner meisie from Blue Bulls country. And she swears she’s just as slick with the braai fork as she is on the catwalk.</p>
<p>She loves to run, but admits she would stand no chance against SA 800m sensation <a href="http://etrader.kalahari.com/referral.asp?linkid=5&amp;partnerid=1002&amp;sku=36148765">Caster Semenya</a>. Some people express surprise when they see her tall slim frame, because her surname is common among Xhosa people. She is Melinda Bam, 22. And she is not Xhosa.</p>
<p>Until last Sunday night, she was an unknown, simple girl who went to campus in flip-flops. But now <a href="http://vivadivas.com/tag/miss-south-africa/">she is Miss South Africa</a>. And everyone wants a piece of her. All this becomes apparent when she breezes into the offices of Sun International in Sandton on a Thursday afternoon.</p>
<p>Staff walk over to shake hands and offer their congratulations. Some ask for pictures. Ag, she doesn’t mind. She obliges them with a smile. She offers polite words of appreciation too. She is a 1.7m bundle of elegance, brightness and sweetness, a down-to-earth soul who likes to laugh. And she can talk too.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/42426039427/"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/833/f0d44736b93a4a9db0c7fb8a98821238.jpg" alt="Melinda Bam, Pretoria born Miss South Africa 2011" width="496" height="232" /></a>But it’s not just hot air that comes out of this Pretorian’s mouth. Blonde moment! You can tell she’s familiar with the lecture hall. She’s just completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Pretoria.</p>
<p>She blushes with embarrassment when I note that beauty queens have become the butt of all sorts of jokes after some downright dumb answers offered by contestants in the pageants.</p>
<p>“I think stress contributes to it a lot,” she says, hastily adding: “Not that I think that is really an excuse because there are certain things you need to know if you want to be an ambassador for your country.”</p>
<p>She says she’s never had a blonde moment during a pageant, but says it happened a few times during exams! She learnt a bit of Mandarin during a stint of modelling in China. But during her stay there, she kept as far away from meat dishes as possible, just in case a frog or snake was whipped up for a meal.</p>
<p>She’s a dreamer too. One of her aims is to embark on a project that will see young people working closer with golden oldies to instil an ethos of hard work and perseverance.</p>
<p>“Not the Lotto mentality,” she says.</p>
<p>Everything in moderation. She has been a Christian for as long as she can remember and when she wants to get in touch with the one above, she joins her family and friends at the <a href="http://www.crc.org.za/"><strong>Christian Revival Church</strong></a>. She enjoys a glass of good red wine. But hey, not too much. “Everything in moderation,” she says. A bottle of whisky a week would be considered moderate, then?</p>
<p>She laughs. “If that’s your moderation&#8230;”</p>
<p>“I just drank lots of water,” she says when asked if perhaps she sought solace in a few tots before last week’s pageant at the Sun City Superbowl.</p>
<p>“I thought it was going to be absolutely nerve-racking but it was quite fine.”</p>
<p>Choice</p>
<p>She loves her oupa, Morris van Heerden, who lives in the Limpopo town of Modimolle.</p>
<p>“He’s one of my role models, an incredible man.</p>
<p>One of the best lessons he taught me was that you are not a product of your circumstances, but a product of choice,” she says admiringly of the old man she went to visit a day after her Sun City triumph.</p>
<p>Her next goal is to polish up on her Northern Sotho, which she took as a subject in primary school. And when she takes a break from the back-to-back interviews and public engagements, she likes nothing more than walking her two dogs in the park, and the activity she says helps her keep a healthy mind in a healthy body: running.</p>
<p>You go, girl!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><a href="http://mzansimagic.dstv.com/2011/12/miss-sa-top-12-profile-lerato-mokoena/"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/incoming/2011/12/08/576677_287142.jpg/RESIZED/Small/576677_287142.jpg" alt="Lerato Mokoena Miss Soweto Miss South Africa 2011 finalist" width="290" height="437" /></a>SUNDAY will see the dreams of most of the 11 Miss SA contenders shattered, while one of them will be crowned the most beautiful woman in the country.</h3>
<p>If the preliminaries are anything to go by<strong> Lerato Mokoena</strong> is poised to take the crown at the Sun City&#8217;s Superbowl.</p>
<p>The 22-year-old Vereeniging beauty is a veteran of pageants. She had previously won titles as second princess for <strong>Miss Bikini SA</strong> and <strong>Miss Soweto</strong> and holds the title of <strong>Miss Emfuleni 2010</strong>.</p>
<p>Mokoena is a photogenic lass with a body that is tailor made for a swimsuit. Her major asset is a beautiful face that manages to impress with minimal make-up.</p>
<p>She seems set to rock the judges with her cool demeanour, intelligence, grace and confidence.</p>
<p>During the preliminaries, Mokoena, who holds a BA in Tourism Development from the University of Johannesburg, stole the selected audience&#8217;s hearts with her poise, gracefulness and spontaneity.</p>
<p>Her bid for the crown has not been without difficulty, though. She has had to put up with insults from those who were mocking her for her hair loss problem.</p>
<p>Mokoena wears a wig because she suffers from alopecia areata, a condition that eats the hair away. Fortunately this has not affected her self-esteem.</p>
<p>Besides her beauty and obvious brains, Mokoena is also a philanthropist at heart.</p>
<p>During an interview with Sowetan, Mokoena said her major dream was to establish her own non-governmental organisation that will reach underprivileged communities in the country&#8217;s rural areas. Her focus will be on empowering the youth in these communities.</p>
<p>The media has seen Mokoena grow from an ordinary girl to the woman of today who could best represent the Miss SA office.</p>
<p>If all goes well on Sunday the 1,79m tall natural beauty could very well be crowned Miss SA.</p>
