SABC3's Top Billing presenters Janez Vermeiren and Jeannie D have both gone shirtless (sortof): Janez Vermeiren hardly ever wears a shirt so he's already been shirtless, and Jeannie D covers the D's with a bikini top.
Janez Vermeiren and Jeannie D are two of the local South African telenalities tossing the tops in a new marketing campaign awaiting the reveal on 12 April of the new Sprinbok jersey.
The two well-known television faces are part of the group "pledging" to go shirtless on so-called "Bokdays" until the new rugby jersey is revealed.
The half-naked Top Billing duo - often mocked for supposedly being a "real-life" romantic couple (although they're not) - did a little self-referential video in which they joke about the amount of skin often on display in their weekly glamarama lifestyle show.
A bare-chested Janez Vermeiren and a bikini clad Jeannie D are sitting on a couch doing a piece to camera in support of the Boks.
"In support of the boys in green and gold, we pledge to go shirtless on Bokdays until we get our new jersey," says Janez Vermeiren.
"But Janez ... you go shirtless most days," says a mockingly perplexed Jeannie D.
South Africans are now asked to go "tastefully" shirtless on Bokdays "in a place where being shirtless is unexpected".
