This Is Long Overdue!

shugasblogiwood_SiyaMmmh…interesting. So every corner of JHB is talking about Siya Ngwekazi possibly replacing Tbo Touch on LIVE?  I think that’s great news.

I never really liked Siya doing the whole gossip thing (RGB, V Entertainment), LIVE is more suited to his “style” and I think this whole move nje is long overdue.

LIVE is huge! It’s the only local music show that matters and let’s just say it doesn’t get bigger than that (Mzansi TV wise) and I’m positive any “presenter” would love to get on that stage coz iyakulauncha. Not that Siya needs any launching really… eish, okay… am going lolololo lemme get to the point.

If your boy won’t be in the building from next week Friday then we know that’s something he in NO WAY is happy with. Mara let’s give credit, he does very well on Metro’s Rhyme n Reason (don’t listen to the House of Swag) and I totally enjoy the show so LIVE or No LIVE, Touch will be okay.

I never really saw him as a good fit on LIVE anyway, and we can’t blame him for it, if into ayiyoyakho, then it’s not yours qha. At least he gave it a try & had fun doing it.

Well, we wish him all the best, and ja, guys here’s your opportunity to send your nice farewell message to Tbo Touch, we’ll make sure he gets your messages :-)

Oh, and maybe you have a few Do’s and Don’ts for Siya on joining your gal B on LIVE?

Holla!

Walk out that LIVE door and plz never look back bcoz I for one wont miss u.Stick to the turntables Thabo and when u see a camera run as fast as u can.

    ROFLMAO@ KK tjo usile maan. As for ‘This yo boy in da building’ thanx yo job is well appreciated bt as KK said dont eva go near cameras again. Ja wena Siya u mst let go of that FAKE-ish and GOSSIP-ish ELEMENT in you uzoba-grand jo. All da best though!

  7. Bongza on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 12:03 am 

    Great news indeed. Maybe now they’ll also giv him a shot @ hosting one of our prime award shows instead of back stage interviews, coz after Trevor Noah i think Siya can do a decent job, Dam i envy these RGB boys….

  8. Kiki on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 12:07 am 

    Eish,i have been praying for ths day for so long.I even considered visiting a Togolese Sangoma…lol

  9. Afro Samurai on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 1:03 am 

    If this is true then who is going to replace Siya on VEntertainment?Bonang has always stolen the spotlight because of the relaxed,laid back presenting styles of her male co-presenters.With Siya there,I hope there will be “out-phapharing” each other like on that stupid show Harambe.

  10. Lela on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 1:06 am 

    UTouch uyahamba heli heli,im so happy 4 uSiya i knw he’s gona kill it. Lol @Kiki.

  11. Lela on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 1:10 am 

    This is one boy bonang wont talk ova,udibene nentanga yakhe kulegem.

  12. Kiki on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 6:24 am 

    @ Afro Samurai ,does Siya really really have to leave V Entertainment jus coz of LIVE,I mean cant he do both? Touch managed to do radio,clubs,konvict business,up n down fake trips to the USA n entertain Akon..Bonang is also busy kwi twitter ,mc jobs and nale so called degree she been tryna complete @ UJ for the past 6yrs. Then we see Phila releasing an album,acting along side Bafuwi..Siya plz dont quit V Enter.

  13. Avisto on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 6:44 am 

    Long overdue indeed! I evn stopped watchin Live cz ur boy was irritating the hell out of me. Looking 4wad to seeing Siya doin his thing!

  14. mathata on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 7:24 am

    lol @ kiki about yo gal “B”…unfinished degree lol well Goodmorning all…well as much as i didn’t have a problem with T’bo touch (yo boy is out of the building..hahahaha) presenting the show but for some people who hated his american accent and so forth and yeah the way he kept on representng da konvict crew well thanx touch and yeah man i think it time live also change their gal “B” hhayi bantu skhathele uyena just let there be change nje ( they say change is good)…coz it seems like bonang has lots of things to take care of ( including finding her self a pet)..well on dat note i would like to welcome scoops (u siyabonga )…..and say goodiebyez to Touch probably someone out there will miss you…:-)!

  39. Porsch on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 11:03 am 

    What if umfana ka mazibuko thats leavin the show & not Touch???? I think Touch has worked very hard to be where he is and as for those of you who think he’s ugly & therefore shouldnt be ön TV its like saying fat people should be on TV or black people. Hai guys constructive critisism and DONT HATE!!

  40. Miss H on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 11:41 am

  47. Cheesa on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 1:00 pm 

    Hayi ke Bonang is great for LIVE. I wish she can stop twittering about how bad the artist performance were during ad breaks coz she is the presenter of the show therefore she is suppose to pretend every performance is great even if it is not.

    Kiki yekela uB wenza i PhD hawu, uyayithand’iEducation umntana bantu lol

  48. Bruised Ego on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 1:03 pm 

    Wow appointing Siya was a very good idea…..as for Tbo Touch i wouldn’t spread all the negativity about him coz he is a good presenter but more on the radio side….he played his part, now Siya has to take over.

    My Gal B is going to work very nicely with Siya, they are both young, vibey and talented……& both love talking talking talking…lol i think they will compete on that side!

  49. Kiki on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 1:08 pm 

    Hey wena Cheesa PHD my ass,she keeps on repeating coz she fails and sometimes misses exams……and she is always on Twitter even during lectures…(true story )

  56. peecay on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 2:04 pm 

    BONANG is great for live qha! She’s got style, energy and just love her to bits. If they change her will not watching…….as for T-Bo gud luck with everything. I also think Siya will be good for the show.

  57. Kiki on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 2:09 pm 

    Bonang’s energy is poisonous and she is the raeson why i stopped watching LIVE every friday….I was a huge fan when Andy was there and never missed a show but since he left,worse replaced by Touch i stopped watching full time i’d rather watch CNN…I am a part time viewer ngoku okanye casual.

  58. Kiki on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 2:11 pm

  60. Sasha Fierce on Tue, 9th Feb 2010 2:17 pm

    Mmm I knew this was too good to be true!!! Now this is what I heard; believe it if you want or don’t, it is true anyway…

    two weeks bck tbo touch was fired, after the show and then the next week, harry hofmeyer who is incharge of all the shows at urban brew,was told that they need to can live. apparently tbo spoke to his dad who has contacts at SABC that he will not be ditched just like dat. and then dats when harry was told live is canned.

    They had planned that Siyabonga would take tbos place, then the next week, Bev who is da production manager for live started shooting live performances, apparently live will have a new look…
