BREAKING. Casper de Vries still a judge on SABC2's Supersterre.
I asked SABC2 for clarity earlier in the week regarding rumours that Casper de Vries will no longer be a judge on the SABC2 reality show Supersterre set to start on SABC2 on 19 March at 19:30.
SABC2 just responded with a general press release issued to all. In that press release Casper de Vries is quoted as saying: ''Due to a misunderstanding about the judging process and my role therein, I posted comments on the internet in a moment of anger and confusion and I apologise for my misleading comments.''
''I have also accepted an apology from the producers of Supersterre about the misunderstanding. I firmly believe that Supersterre is a fair and transparent show and I look forward to a great working time back at the show.''
SABC2 confirmed that musician Steve Hofmeyr was brought in as a guest judge for the show's recording during the episode in which Casper de Vries was absent but that Casper de Vries will appear again in the third and fourth episodes.
SABC2 said that the channel believes that ''all processes are above board''.
