Thabiso Makhubela - Expresso |
Johannesburg, after a
gruelling audition process, intense workshop rounds and some
tough
eliminations, SABC 3 is proud to welcome five brand new faces to
the channel as
the fourth season of Presenter
Search on
3 comes to an end. While initially looking for three new
presenters to join
the SABC 3 stable, judges Patience Stevens, DJ Fresh, Sbusiso
Kumalo and
Jeannie D were impressed by the overwhelming amount of talent
and have decided
to open up the industry even further by welcoming Harmony Katulondi, Ryle De Morny, Fezile Mkhize,Palesa
Tembe, and Thabiso
Makhubela to the SABC 3 family.
Harmony,
Ryle and
Fezile struck up quite the bromance during their time on Presenter Search on 3, and dubbed themselves as
the league of
extraordinary gentlemen during the masterclass rounds. The three
continue their
adventure by giving Top
Billing
viewers the best of the good life as they join one of the
country’s most
glamorous lifestyle magazine shows.
“Speaking French will
allow me to
add to an international flare to Top
Billing. My diverse background, upbringing and curious
nature will also
bring an interesting perspective to the segments,” Harmony said shortly after receiving his spot on
the show. Ryle
adds that “I’m going to bring
a fresh new
energy to this show. I hope to share as much love as possible
and take my
viewer on awesome journeys with me as we discover and showcase
moments, events
and areas in a unique, raw and genuinely real way.” Finally, Fezile says
that he plans
to “maintain the high standard it’s always been known for
with a huge
dose of whimsy, energy and most importantly heart!”
The
beautiful and
bubbly Palesa Tembe joins Afternoon
Express where she joins Jeannie D and Bonnie Mbuli. “I'm
going to
bring some spunk to afternoon TV,” Palesa says. “I’m excited to
bring a younger
energy to the show and add to the already positive atmosphere the
show delivers
on a daily basis.”
Lastly,
brand
analyst Thabiso Makhubela joins South Africa’s feel-good
breakfast show, Expresso,
and promises to pack a punch
with passion for making people’s morning. “I love
Expresso and I can’t
wait to bring my refreshing, upbeat energy to the show. The show
is extremely
important because people are waking up and the tone on the show
sets the
audience’s mood for the entire day. I am like the power bank for
the people and
I don’t take that responsibility lightly.”
Although Mosa Kaiser, a fellow Top 6
contestant, didn’t
get a permanent slot on SABC 3’s flagship shows, the judges felt
that her
talent shouldn’t go to waste. So, Mosa will be joining the
Expresso morning
show as a field reporter. She will be shooting various inserts
which will be
flighted during the live show. Naturally, Mosa is excited to join
the Expresso family.
“I am really happy
about my new gig with Expresso. It promises to be a lot of fun and
I am excited
to bring my unique style and spunk to these inserts. I am so proud
of myself
and I am excited for the journey that lies ahead.”
Harmony, Ryle and Fezile can be seen on Top Billing as early as this Saturday while Palesa and Thabiso will be making their debut on their respective shows from Monday 6 August. As the judges have stressed the entire season, the hard work starts now.
