Who's better? Vuvu (as 7de Laan's Vuyelwa Booi is known in the biz) or Devi Sankaree Govender?
Get ready for a consumer rights fight as duelling TV shows will now battle it out for viewers' attention - starting this week. SABC2 is bringing back its consumer rights show Speak Out for a second season on Wednesday at 21:30 - but without host Dosto Noge - and M-Net has Carte Blanche Consumer on Thursdays at 19:00 with Devi Sankaree Govender.
I can tell you that those in the know in the industry was simply ABUZZ when word got out that Vuyelwa Booi is the new face in the place of Dosto Noge for Speak Out. Vuyelwa Booi is - make that was - the publicity coordinator for SABC2's 7de Laan until an abrupt goodbye. Of course very few knew that it was to join Speak Out. Vuyelwa Booi will co-host with Duncan Senye who's been working as a journalist at the SABC News division since 2003.
''We believe Speak Out is one show that has helped a number of consumers with serious issues, and will continue solving and helping ordinary citizens,'' says Lebo Malete of SABC2 publicity. ''The person in the streets needs a champion, not just for his or her rights but also for redress and education. Duncan Senye and Vuyelwa Booi will be the force driving this informative consumer show and they are the right fit to take the programme to the next level.''
