I can exclusively reveal that the new Popstars group Nne-Vida who just announced their new name, could just as well have been called . . . Phase 4.
The four new members in e.tv's reality show had to come up with a new name, but before Lihle Ngongoma, Lyle Volkwyn, Oscar Toorn and Zinhle Dube settled on Nne-Vida on the very last day, there was dissent from one member who liked their alternative name of Phase 4 better. That person was Zinhle Dube - the lone hold-out who had to be convinced of Nne-Vida (that means ''for life'') as their group name.
''We sort of came up with a name, but the night before the last day we were still pretty much clueless,'' Nne-Vida group member Lyle Volkwyn tells me. ''The next morning we came up with Nne-Vida and Phase 4, but Nne-Vida was the one that three of us liked. So we all had to convince Zinhle. But she likes it now,'' he says.
