Cultural Achievers this week

Botlhale Boikanyo - TV SOAP OPERA STAR

The former SA’s Got Talent 2012 winner, Botlhale Boikanyo, is making her way back to the small screen. Only this time, she won’t be doing any poetry. Botlhale, who inspired millions of South Africans with her amazing poems on the reality show, is set to join the Scandal! team at the end of September. The news was confirmed by e.tv’s publicist Michael Pocock. The versatile 14-year-old artist will play the role of a warm and likeable teen named Omphile. While we can’t say how Omphile fits into the soapie, we can hint that she is connected to Mlungisi Ngema (Patrick Mofokeng).Botlhale will make her first on-screen debut on Wednesday 30 September. You can read more about her big role in the upcoming 16 September issue of tvplus.  This is a soapie that plays on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm

Jenna Alexander - ART ACHIEVEMENT

Jenna's art was spotted by Bryanston Country Club and she was commissioned to create a Leopard art piece for Bryanston Country Club in their effort to raise funds for the following two charity organisations:

Rays of Hope, who does a lot of work in Alexandra township & Leopard Conservation Project in Hoedspruit. 
The painting was auctioned at a picnic held at Bryanston Country Club and the now proud owners of Jenna's drawing paid R8 000,00 for it and the total amount has been donated to be shared between the two charities.
