On Set With Da Rhythm Cityzens!

Written by Brown Shuga from the blog SHUGAS BLOGIWOOD on 13 Feb 2009

 Last week Friday (6th Feb) TVSA was invited to be on set with Rhythm City cast when they hosted winners of the Rhythm Cityzen Competition. 

This was the competition....

"Three Rhythm Cityzens and their guests will be flown to Johannesburg and will be treated in true VIP fashion. Winners will spend a day on the set of Rhythm City and will rub shoulders with the cast and crew. You'll be wined and dined and accommodated at the 5-star Hotel.
To enter refer a friend to the world of rhythm city.  Simply SMS 'R.E.F.' and your friends cell number to 34330."
 
 

These are the winners and what they got to see/do during that day........
 R1
L-R: Paballo, Nobuhle (Winner), Thabisile, Babongile (Winner), Reyna & Nadine (winner)

I don't know if it was a coincidence or what but it so happened that all the winners from Gauteng so there were no flights to worry about but I can confirm that the gals were really treated like VIP's and had a fabulous time! 

They spent 2 nights at the Michelangelo Towers and were driven around in a stretch limo. It wasn't the most beautiful limo but hey, a limo's a limo right? Especially if it's your first time in it...lol.

r2

Winners being interviewed by Deven from Curious pictures...sorry if I've mispelt the name...

I was more interested in his face & tattoo!


DV

When Jamie Bartlett (David Genaro) came to greet the winners, .Babongile started going all Xhosa Teary Drama Queen on us .....

r3

Oooohhhh stefina!!!

r4

Nobuhle (who really is beautiful) handled the interview like a pro though....

r5

Babongile's tears seemed to dry up long enough for a proper pic to be taken.....until....


r7

....Nokuthula aka Tshidi Khuse came to say hi.... *sigh*


r9

The girl even has her own dressing room! Halla back!

r10

And...we'd appreciate a translation if anyone knows what language that is? Maybe siyathukwa....

rooms

The "sluts" share a dressing room....


Sluts on the show, please don't misunderstand me.....

r11

And they don't use the same make up brushes for everyone....each actress has her own kit. 

r12

Being a soap actress is so cool....they even get to have their hair relaxed there!!

r13

Percy Vilakazi was the tour guide. He's a Storyliner and in charge of Music on the show....


r14

The winners chilling with KB aka Lucilla, who's officially one of my favourite people around....

She's got such a hot body too!


Malefane

Kagiso Malefane who won the Best Art Direction Award at the SAFTA's. Nothing artistic about his look or office mara he's artistic where it matters right? Lol. 
Hallo abuti Kagiso!

Zikhona

There were auditions held on the same day so I suspect Zimkhitha was there for that purpose. 
Some of the people spotted there for the auditions were Phuthi Khomo, Thami Afrika, who looks like he's on steroids and
Mampho-Molete Brescia who looks beautiful without the extra long eyelashes she had on.

Keke

Keke, whom we all know as Dinana from Soul City also works behind the scenes on the show. 

After being introduced to the crew, it was time for the winners to visit the set...



hoiuse

The famous gym, looking as dodgy as ever!

Kilo watt

Kilo Watt occupies a tiny corner....


Watt

Winners checking out the fake booze.....

couple

Throughout the day, I kept wondering about this particular "friendship"....

KBL

KB & Heather, the director getting ready to block  (determining where the actors will be on the set and the first camera position) a scene between her......


pair block

......and Nonti. 
Yho, Refilwe Seseane is good bathong! Watching her in action was amazing....I just think she's got this acting thing on lockdown. Hope she'll be in the soapie for long..

set2

The Khuse home should win an award for the Most Horrible House In A Soap....

kitchen

Ao bathong! Where did they find all these things? Look at that green bread slicer thingy (is it?) 

The only thing out of place there is the kettle for being so modern!

stove

Ausi Mamokete should please clean her stove....aowa!

Sffoo

Nadine with Suffocate....who has something against showing his teeth!

lunch

Winners having lunch with the cast!

cast

Photo time, say cheese!!!

cast2

Suffocate bathong.....

outs

Hayi Rhythm Cityzenz konje ke bo mang ba? LOL 

I think the one on the left plays Puleng, Fats' girlfriend...?


stonito

I don't know if it was just me but Zenzo seemed a bit uptight ....& I was kinda disappointed coz he was part of the reason why I agreed to go there. 
Firstly he got there late & didn't even seem interested in even interacting with the winners....

I still love him though and I wish he had won the Best Actor award.


The friendliest guy was no doubt......

kop

Ntate KOP KHUSE! Ncoh....he speaks exactly like he does on the show....lol. 

RC09

Tazz Ngida joined the party for a few minutes....while waiting to shoot EGOLI. 
Egoli, Scandal & Rhythm City are all shot at Sasani Studios where we had the Big Brother house. 

Yeah, I agree, he doesn't look like the same guy who was on Menshealth what-what?


After that long day, the crew/cast & winners got ready for a party at FTV Sandton. I couldn't join them for the party coz I caught a flu virus at the Khuse house......

<<<Stine looked forced to take that pic, his face says "let me just do this and be done with">>> True, he was leaving when I called him back to take the pic!

<<<Where was Fats?>>> He wasn't there... 
Lungsta/Sbu came & stayed for a bit during lunch but he couldn't stay for long coz he was doing OBOMA that day.

Thnxs BS for this update. U craked my ribs with these comments:-)

>>The Khuse home should win an award for the Most Horrible House In A Soap....

>>Suffocate....who has something against showing his teeth!
So as STONE...he's always uptight, i think may the role he play puts too much strain on him

So happy to see Keke, whom we all know as Dinana from Soul City also works behind the scenes on the show. I missed that girl...ppl use to tell me that i look like her or she looks like me (either way)

Haha, that kettle is really out of place, hau bathong!

As for Suffocate, hai man, he neeeds me to make him smile. Someone get me his contacts, ke tla montsha meno!

Anyway, wow BS, I never want to enter competitions like this(Make me feel like a groupie), but your recap makes me want to have been there...nice.

I think "Stoan" is always like that, I've bumped into him several times at the State Theatre and he's always "shyish" and "serious" like that.

I'm sure you had a wonderful time, always such an eye-opener hey L?

That kitchen!!! It looks real - BS there are some folks whose houses are worse than that hey - that stove - yuck man!!!! But it makes it all the more real - so do they eat real food and normal portions during seasons or will it be plastic or just a drop since the booze is fake? I have always wanted to know (I know i sound daft but really would like to know)

13 Feb 2009 08:57

I don't know if it was just me but Zenzo seemed a bit uptight 
I don't think he is a people person, yena le Suffo, what i've noticed these 2  guy are shy & very protective of their own space.
 but unfortunately for them, they have chosen a wrong career, in which they are good at (if i may add), where people will always be in ur face.
Hope he overcome their phobia soon, otherwise their  going to loose their fan base

13 Feb 2009 09:05

There were auditions held on the same day so I suspect Zimkhitha was there for that purpose. 

is that her other name? 

Hayi Rhythm Cityzenz konje ke bo mang ba? LOL 

He wena, this girl has a FB group solely dedicated to showing appreciation to her...forgot her name but it's something like rebotile...

Ntate KOP KHUSE! Ncoh....he speaks exactly like he does on the show....lol.

@ Luookz, read the replies and you will see why Lungsta could not be there, it is not because he is too hot to take pictures but becos he is working. I suggest you inform or educate yourself on the facts before you jump to wrong conclusions
