What's happening in the SA celeb world?
We have loved researching this topic because there is so much we didn't know that had happened or is happening on the local celeb scene. If you are like us, we have slightly lost touch with the 'who's who' of the SA celeb world. We tired to look around for some interesting tit bits and this is what we have uncovered so far:
Former 7de Laan actor, Waldemar Schultz's son dies in a tragic accident
Saturday 10.08.2013 - We unfortunately start off with the sad news of the death of Waldemar Schulz's 14 year old son, Kieran. He was apparently walking along the old harbor wall in Hermanus, Cape Town, near the whale lookout point when he somehow slipped and fell about 27 meters into some knee deep water. His father and a friend were at a nearby coffee shop when one of the boys, who was with Kieran at the time, ran to him for help. There was a kayak party getting ready to leave the harbor when they saw the fall happen. 2 Doctors from the party went to assist Kieran and waited with him until the paramedics arrived. He died in hospital a short time later. A Grade 8 pupil in Parel Vallei High School, Somerset West, Kieran was already a budding young actor having played a part in Egoli as well as starring in movie rolls and commercials. He leaves behind his father, mother (Ira Blanckenberg) and sister Dhania.

Jack Parrow detained (but not really) ahead of OPPIKOPPI music festival
Wednesday 07.08.2013 - So the famous Oppikoppi BewilderBeast music festival, was on this weekend and a few days before rapper Jack Parrow was due to perform, his publicist released this statement:
"Jack Parow was detained in the early hours of this morning on charges of allegedly disturbing the peace.
Parow and some friends were staying at the Vaalkop dam 60 km South East of Northam where the popular Oppikoppi BewilderBeast music festival is taking place this weekend.
Parow and a friend took a catamaran out on a joy ride on the dam at about 1:30 am on Wednesday morning. After repeated requests over loud hailers Parow and his friend finally returned to shore."
Turns out this was all just a publicity stunt and he apparently did perform... no idea what that could have been about but okay, whatever floats his boat.

COMING SOON! New Leon Schuster movie!
Now we don't know about you but we are super excited that there is another Schuster movie on the way. Here are all the details we have so far:
Release Date : November / December 2013
Genre : Comedy, Candid Camera
Cast : Leon Schuster, Rob van Vuuren, Alfred Ntobela
Director : Grey Hofmeyr
Producer : André Scholtz
Synopsis
Schuks is having nightmares about the state of South Africa’s society, politics, delivery, roads attitudes, everything. Shorty comes up with the idea that what the nation needs is a good humorous look at itself, a Schuks candid camera movie. “Schuks,” says Shorty, “Your country needs you!” “Forget it,” says Schuks, “I’m sick of being clobbered, I’m too old.” But his attitude changes when, out of the blue, Schuks’ long lost son, Ziggy (Rob van Vuuren) arrives from Australia. Father and son have had no contact since Ziggy was two, and their mad, fraught re-connection provides the impetus to a hilarious candid look at South Africa 2013. Schuks leads the team with his inimitable disguises and candid camera genius, with Ziggy backing him, taking the punches, and Shorty stirring it all up.
Some gags are cruel, edgy, hard hitting, some are tinged with poignancy and pathos, all must be hilarious. Together with the little story of a father and son finding each other, the overall message of the movie is one from the heart: “My country may need me but I need my country. We are all part of the human family”. “Your Country Needs You” takes up where the record breaking “Schuks Tshabalala’s Survival Guide to SA” left off in 2010, and is aimed at a younger audience.
