Hastings At The SAMAs
May 25, 2011 by Hastings Moeng
So the much-awaited SAMA17 finally took place on Saturday. Fashion strikers, offenders and all the different classes of celebrities came out to play despite the limited invites rollout.
As the twiporters have already put it out there, chaos and irritation were the opening act. There were too many people everywhere and “exclusive” venues on every corner. The maze-setup also didn’t help. An attempt to get to the MAIN yellow carpet was as unpleasant as a bimbo model trying to explain a heart transplant.
Moving the event to Monte was also not an entirely dire alternative to Sin City. BUT could have been way better perhaps had more competent individuals been deployed?
With a world-class hostess like the first-lady, Bonang, and talented controversy king, Phat Joe, no one can go wrong. They held it down to the core… and did so in equally impressive bravura, given the unfavorable circumstances.
Enough talking! Let’s see who popcorn-ed.
Self-proclaimed “Hottest” 35 year old and fashion striker, Penny Lebyane looked rather ok considering she has set very high standards. Yes, we refuse to settle for less than your best Penny!!

Another Fashion Striker, Uyanda Mbuli, ravished but not much as she always does. Thing is, when your name is Uyanda we always want to use your pictures to define “best dressed”. Perhaps she was giving other kids a chance to shine?

Does anyone care to explain why Khanyi Mbau is so calm lately? Premature old age perhaps? She opted for a female tux, while the masses went for prom dresses.

Spotted Jen Su with one of her many headgears. Lisel scorched up in sneakers. Uyanda has started a cool trend… and it works when the right person experiments with it, like Lisel did.

Still on headgears, it seems Jen Su has a fan in Mo Flavo’s co-host ,Eda-Rose, who also rocked one (head gear).

VOW FM DJ/ YOTV’s Karabo looked age-appropriate and effortlessly glam. Keep it up!

Shall we have a moment of silence in celebration of Ntombi Ngcobo’s happy chest?

Queen of gossip, or Egypt, Mika Stefano clearly has issues letting go. How else do we explain the Egyptian theme carrying onto the SAMAs? It’s been a week already Mika, get over the (party theme) hangover already.

Anyways, I’m trying to pave my way into heaven… so I’ll let the pictures do the rest, after all, a pictures is worth a thousands words.

Thato Molamu

Jamali

Hastings and Kenny Kunene

Lalla and Chris

Lalla’s shoe, is the same one we saw on Thembi’s Seete at the J&B Met:

And on Bonang

Phuthi Khomo was there

Relo and her husband

Howza was there without the wife. We heard she was in hospital. Hope all is well.

Noance on Wed, 25th May 2011 12:27 pm
Is Khanyi settling us slowly into her future career? As a waitress or hostess?
No one is immune to hard times!
Lady gaga on Wed, 25th May 2011 12:31 pm
Oh khanyi, why those shoes though??…
Noance on Wed, 25th May 2011 12:31 pm
Penny’s jugs look like their under duress! Like the bra said, ngizoni kombisa!

TL on Wed, 25th May 2011 1:16 pm
Tamara Day must have believed Camping. It’s ok girl save the outfit for 21 October.
Relo shame yazi no need to have a bronze forehead-cheeks are enough.
That pony’s dress would have been better without the red, the lace around, that huge thingie…eish ok I give up.
uJen Su ungathi ugqoke utapeiti.
Loving Zakes’s look.
I don’t understand the packet of eet-sum-more on Thato’s shirt. nc nc

mamamia on Wed, 25th May 2011 1:49 pm
still trying to decipher Kenny’s insider ‘those-in-the-know’ sign.
So far i think it could mean three time zones?
Hastings is doing it (the sign thing) wrong…….or did Kenny get it wrong…….what the heck does it all mean?

Lady gaga on Wed, 25th May 2011 2:11 pm
@mamamia i think kenny’s sign means, magnificent(with an accent)!!!
TheSushiQueen on Wed, 25th May 2011 2:13 pm
@MAMAMIA – Kenny is so silly this one.. The sign he is displaying is “THE ALL SEEING EYE” from the ILLUMINATTI.. the likes of Lady GAGA, Rihanna and other rich people (Rockefellers) can be seen making thIS signs in photo’s..
Kenny mara.. SMH! I swear he behaves like a US rock star and aspires to be like them.. KENNY YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE ILLUMINATTI! YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY..
Nkey.. on Wed, 25th May 2011 2:19 pm

I like Khanyi #thatsall#
Cinnabon on Wed, 25th May 2011 3:11 pm
Khanyi is ON Point.
Jacqui from Jamali and Phuti Khomo are Sexy.
Eda Rose is cute.
I Love, Love, Love Relo…too Beautiful.
GiJane on Wed, 25th May 2011 3:41 pm
Khanyi rocked that tux-something different,yet classy.
Penny is just gorgeous in watever she wears(she must just stay away from minis or shorts coz her cellulite is not appealling)
Uyanda cudve done better(that dress reminds me of beauty pageants in the 90′s)
Death by ‘sis pontso’ bhind uyanda
I really don’t like that ‘pop’ shoe laila,thembi n Bonang have. Looks cheap
Shame Jay,trying to pull a Jlo,so 90′s,
Loved LeAnnes dress (any1 know any of her songs?)
Sweet soul on Wed, 25th May 2011 3:47 pm
Aww cute! Karabo looks so Nunus, age appropriate indeed.
Phuti is a black barbie.
Lala is Stunning!!
Gosh who does Jamili’s hair, the tall girl’s hair is so wrong her fringe ngathi yiberet(sp).
Kwenzakalani ngobaba Kenny kodwa? does anyone here know if he’s dating Eda rose coz I’ve seen them together twice if I’m not mistaken?
Zida on Wed, 25th May 2011 3:53 pm
Jen Sue’s fabric doesn’t work at all. Looks like a designer rain coat. All that’s missing are amabhuzu to go with it.
That Ada Rose chick, she should have kept that outfit for the DBN July. And she’s such a groupie, it’s annoying. Always taking pics with celebs, you can see she’s new in the industry shem.
I think Khanyi’s tux worked but it would have been perfect if she rocked men’s formal shoes with it. Speaking of her, when is she gonna admit that Professor is playing in her cookie jar?
Busi (Penny’s friend) looked stunning. Loved her high shoulder dress. She’s always on point.
Hasting Moeng on Wed, 25th May 2011 3:54 pm
@ Miss Thang, It aint me. Mos prob someone else with the same name. But thanx for the association.
@ soul sista ..lol I still have a looooooong way to go to get anywhere near JI.
@ Nkey.. Kwaaaaaaa…death by you
@ kenny K hand sign…didnt know what it meant, so I had to consciously get it wrong in case it’s meant to communicate anything in particular…*winx*
Zida on Wed, 25th May 2011 4:01 pm
Oh, by the way Hasting darling, Mika is rocking an Indian garb, not Egyptian gear.
kgoshigadi on Wed, 25th May 2011 4:14 pm

MsRooi on Wed, 25th May 2011 4:53 pm
I love Khanyi’s outfit! She looks elegant.
GiJane on Wed, 25th May 2011 5:17 pm
True, that Eda chick shudve saved this dress for the July
@ Zida FYI, word is Khanyi has joined Kalawa,hence she also went to Miami with them,the samas was a way to introduce her as part of their team.
Malawi11 on Wed, 25th May 2011 5:24 pm
KHANYISILE…soooo on point loves it
mousa on Wed, 25th May 2011 5:29 pm
I loved Khanyis tux, thought she pulled it off very well. I think Kenny and Mika, should stop wearing amazaza 24/7, they can’t even see when they’re looking like 2 bozos!
IBAR on Wed, 25th May 2011 5:49 pm
oohk realy now ! can someone deport Jen Su already..and start a bon fire wit those things she calls hat lol heard she won japanese idols **laughing my way to china town hehehehe..khanyi is one of da few south african celebrities dat embody da word ..the tux absolute genuis as well as tamara dey looked absolutely ethreal..a vision she was , as for her stealing jen su roots ! angazi !!but seriously sum one call home affairs on her ..still wonder how Relo nabbed such a hottie ! love her to bits but damn she aint no noni gasa now
Jellytot on Wed, 25th May 2011 6:24 pm
Khanyi—> janelle monae, she is kinda a year too late with the trend. Pity. Tjo at that eda rose chick bragging this morning that her dad is italian and her sisters dad is french. Nothing wrong just. Tjo

Rumour has it all the only miss Zama Ngcobo shared or is still sharing a bed with mr Kunene, one night at zar- kenny managed it very well by keeping Eda in a seperate v.i.p but zama couldn’t help it, she made sure that it was clear tht kenny is not taking Eda home tht night…I can assure u tht aint the only one who saw that drama when the international artists we’re at Zar…miss ngcobo u r such a bully? How can u do that to mr K and miss E infront of the croud??? Can’t u see tht eda is fresh meat? Did eda share accomodation with mr k @ dudu’s wedding? – just curious
