ANN7 SOUTH AFRICAN OF THE YEAR: The Saxon Hotel - Johannesburg


After the Stuttafords launch drew to a close we high-tailed it home for a quick change before heading to The Saxon Hotel for the inaugural South African Of The Year (SATY) nominations party hosted by ANN7.  The awards were created to celebrate extraordinary citizens who are making a difference in the lives of ordinary people.

Some nominees included: Basetsana Kumalo, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Minnie Dlamini and campaigns such as 67 Blankets For Madiba.  

One of the highlights of the evening was an electrifying performance by Zahara and the promise of Mafikizolo performing at the awards ceremony on the 6th September.

Upon arrival we were immediately ushered in front of the cameras by
ANN7 presenter Avashnee Vandiar for an impromptu interview

Tamerin Jardine (left) stuck to the local theme by wearing a "Diane
Van Staden" creation (you had to be there to understand this one!)

Jay Anstey (left) and Nonhle Thema (right) both incorporated
metallics and shimmer,
although Jay chose a more toned-down version.
We love their supermodel posing! 

Roxy Burger took a break from Strictly Come Dancing and was
spotted shouting at Alan for not voting last week!

After a respectable start to the evening, Mika Stefano arrived subjecting
guests to his usual mischievous antics: selfie time with Nonhle,
a "kiss" for Trevor Gumbi, hugs for us and a Cinderella moment
at the piano

The empress of hype Melanie Ramjee wanted our advice regarding the
theme for her upcoming Big Birthday Bash.
We're still thinking...

Then it was time to share a joke with David Tlale

Of course, what would an event be without us selecting our Best Dressed for the evening...
