Joost will talk to Coenie de Villiers on Wednesday night at 20:00 on Kwêla on kykNET (DStv 111). Kwêla has snagged the first and exclusive and live interview with Joost in which he will be pouring out his heart to the nation on national television in what promises to be THE MOST DRAMATIC LIVE TV MOMENT OF THE YEAR!
Yesterday afternoon I spoke to Pieter Cilliers, producer of Kwêla.
The interview is for Joost to talk about his new book, but it's an interview in which Joost set no conditions (celebrity interviews often set guidelines for topics and subjects that are off limits and not to be discussed).
''It will be a NO HOLDS BARRED INTERVIEW,'' Pieter told me.
''The Joost camp made no demands. Joost is willing to do the TV interview without any limitations being set on what he can and cannot be asked about.''
''Kwêla doesn't sky away from issues and people and subjects, but we give people the opportunity to tell their side of the story. It's visible in the sheer amount of people who have chosen us when they want to talk. In Joost's case I think that is why we're again first with this exclusive interview.''
Kwêla has tried for several months to secure an interview with Joost.
''Joost is now here, on Wednesday night, in the studio and he will be pouring his heart out. On television he will get the chance to say whatever he wants to say to South Africa. Kwêla is a safe space for him to do that. It's a live TV interview, so it's not something that we can or will ever manipulate. The interview will go wherever the interview goes.''
''Even if it's sensitive topics, Coenie de Villiers always make studio guests feel at ease and safe to be just themselves and to open their hearts.''
