Precious Jewel

Gorgeous Miss Kofi

"The words beautiful, creative, outspoken can all aptly describe this young lady but before she is all the above, she is a young South African woman, making her mark in the media industry and inspiring many as she goes along! From acting in an advertisement at a very young age, presenting shows such as Hip To Be Squared and The Precious Show (which was later renamed Keeping It Real With Precious), she has had a long journey to her current position as the proud owner of Kofi productions" -aliyana.biz.

Precious is a true, young and beautiful balck star, an inspiration to young girls and no doubt a role model to the youth of South Africa. She has been quiet lately but it's probably because she is cooking something up for us under her production company Kofi Productions.

SA takes on Hollywood

Beauty and Brains

"South African starlet, Nonhle Thema blossomed on our screens during her long stint as a TV Presenter on Channel O. In 2009, Nonhle who is also the Global Brand Ambassador and Spokesperson for Dark and Lovely, moved over to South African youth oriented TV Channel - VUZU as the face of the channel and host of its flagship show, V-Entertainment. Now, Nonhle is entering uncharted territory – she is debuting her reality show – Nonhle Goes to Hollywood-http://www.bellanaija.com/.

"Nonhle Thema is a leading Television personality, Youth Role Model and Top Brand Ambassador. She has an incredible following and a record-breaking history of high ratings" -http://www.izindaba.co.za/.

“I feel totally blessed and nervous to be the first South African personality to have her own reality show in the country or should I say continent on Vuzu. I feel honoured to be given this torch to break boundaries and start something new and bold in South African television. Someone needed to take the first plunge and I am taking the bullet for all other personalities who will soon have their own reality shows. It’s all about making history and opening doors for others, through this show I have learnt just how brave and fearless I am…this is my destiny”-SA’s Times Live Blog,
