All You Need Is ... Professionalism as SABC1 and Endemol South Africa replace Sisanda Henna with the kwaito star Tshepo Mosese.


SABC1 and Endemol South Africa which has unprofessionally dumped the All You Need is Love presenter Sisanda Henna after 3 episodes since reviving the tired and basically cancelled format show for a new fifth season, has now replaced him with Tshepo Mosese who is also known as the kwaito star Howza.

In an embarrassing turn of events, SABC1 and Endemol SA fired Sisanda Henna after he already appeared on-screen and without making sure that before the new All You Need is Love started, that they had the "right" person they wanted. Now Tshepo Mosese is suddenly taking over and will make his first appearance on Tuesday 19 June on SABC1.

SABC1 says All You Need is Love which basically disappeared in 2007, "requires a strong personality" - which by implication means that SABC1 is not of the opinion that Sisanda Henna has or had a personality strong enough for All You Need is Love.

Vukile Madlala, SABC1's head of publicity, says Tshepo Mosese "resonates well" with SABC1 viewers. "We believe the viewers will be very pleased with Howza," says Endemol SA, without going into any detail or explanations as to why Sisanda Henna was blatantly dismissed from the show after production on the new fifth season started.

It's not the first time All You Need Is Love became All You Need Is a New Presenter. Hlomla Dandala was the first presenter of the dating reality show who got fired after the end of the first season. Zwai Bala took over for the second season after Tumisho Masha who was offered the job first, refused it out of friendship with Hlomla Dandala which Endemol SA producers were clueless about.

Zwai Bala made way for Tshepo Mabona in the third season of All You Need Is Love. In the fourth season Aubrey Poo suddenly became the presenter. Vanessa Jansen who appeared in the first four season as a co-presenter is also not part of the fifth season.
