I was first on 28 December to break the news RIGHT HERE about the new local reality show on SABC1, Class Act, starting later this year. Class Act will look for a local action hero star.
SABC1 hasn't announced anything more about Class Act yet, but I can now exclusively and first reveal the names of both the presenter, the 3 permanent judges and the other important info on Class Act.
The Class Act presenter will be Kenneth Nkosi, the South African actor, best known for his role in Gaz'lam.
The 3 permanent Class Act judges will be Tendeka Matatu who started his film career as an assistant director, working on numerous films and TV shows in Zimbabwe and London.
Then there is Rapulana Seiphemo, the South African actor known for his roles of Godlieb Mofkoeng in Isidingo, Tau Mogale in Generations and Pheko Mokoena in Muvhango.
The 3rd Class Act judge is the South African super agent Moonyeenn Lee who is the South African superstar agent representing actors, writers and directors.
Class Act will start on Saturday, 20 March at 18:30 for 13 hourlong episodes. The director is Donn Marsh who is currently developing the Spud novel as a movie. Viewers will get to vote by SMS which aspiring action hero leading man must be eliminated from week to week, after they've starred in beautifully filmed ''mini-movies''.
