SABC2's youth show HN9 (previously more known as Hectic Nine-9) will turn 1 000th episodes old on Monday, 26 September and will celebrate the programming achievement on the day with a special hour long episode starting at 16:00 on SABC2.
''A definite must see will be the five-tiered chocolate celebration cake, very kindly provided by Lindt. Dripping with 1 000 Lindor chocolate balls, it's going to get everyone's mouths watering,'' says HN9 producer Wilna van Schalkwyk. HN9 will get an additional half hour this coming Monday from SABC2's youth afternoon block qBase28.
HN9's special episode will feature the reappearance of some old presenters, performances by Mathew Moolman, Hot Water and the electric dance crew, Africa Ablaze.
''Hectic Nine-9 has for years been a place where the new-age youth come together and for the past 1000 episodes, the show has produced content that has cemented its place in the qBase28 youth slot,'' says Zandile Nkonyeni, SABC2 publicity manager. ''The one hour long episode is SABC2's gift to the South African youth for continuing to tune into HN9 and for making the show the success that it is.''
