Shwashwi: Sabela awards had it all, from out of place skhothanes, almost forgotten actors and hideous omega shoes 

Sabela awards had it all, from out of place skhothanes, almost forgotten actors and hideous omega shoes 

As if that was not enough, your trusty gallivanting gossip girl headed down to Durban on Saturday to attend the 2024 Simon Mabhunu Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards at the iconic Playhouse. The host of the evening was Nomalanga Shozi who was surprisingly very early for the black carpet proceedings. 

Shwa is not sure whether Nkanyiso Makhanya was there as Shozi’s side kick, or he was there to attend the awards.  

Either way, my guy why wear jeans at an award show? It just shows lack of effort. Clearly Bhekisizwe Mahlawu of Uzalo loves following through his character. Otherwise why was he dressed like a skhothani, together with his on-screen son. Is this how you dress out of character too or maybe you decided to borrow clothes from the set wardrobe? 

Thobani Nzuza, my guy it is very important to practise if you are going to present an award and not just come to read, because English really dribbled you on stage. But I don’t blame you, it is not your mother tongue. 

It is true what they say, that when you associate yourself with certain people you end up doing what they do. Shwa is honestly going to need Nqobile Nunu Khumalo to get a stylist, pronto. I have said this before but, no, man, whoever made that dress for her must be arrested. 

Kyle Dutch my guy where have you been hiding, what’s happening in the famous world of Jacob Zuma. Do you still have a music career or you’re just presenting awards these days? 

Finally, Thembinkosi Mthembu won an award for his acting. The poor guy has been winning useless awards such as hunk of the year, and y’all know thirsty women obviously vote for him. Now Shwa can finally take you seriously as an actor.  

Deli Malinga is really living her best life right now and Umkhokha really gave her a chance to showcase her craft. Not her rocking shades the next morning after her big win and taking selfies with the likes of Muzi Mthabela and Melusi Yeni. 

Still on Yeni why has the industry been doing the man dirty all these years not even one nomination and awardnyana? I guess it is true that when it is not your time it is not. 

Shwa was sitting next to Mpumelelo Mseleku and was tempted to confront him about his shenangians that he is always feeding us on that reality television show but as soon as I saw those blue omega shoes he was wearing, I was put off. 

It was a touching moment to see Cynthia Shange being honoured with a lifetime achievement award and for her to open up about her health scare like that. 

Can somebody tell Shwa why Mbongeni Ngema’s family did not go on stage to collect the award that he was honoured with?  

Shwa also spotted Hope Mbhele, Wiseman Zitha, Vuyo Biyela and Nsikelelo Mthiyane.
