Nyovest himself has donated R150 000 while  The Braai Show  executive producer Cake Media has made a R100 000 contribution to the drive and has also created a SMS line where people can donate R10 by sending an SMS to the number 38058. Five lucky people, who contribute via the SMS line, will win a braai with Nyovest.   Earlier this year, the rapper took to social media to urge the public to donate money to an account started in Nompilo Dlamini’s name.

The couples sat together for their first glimpses of temptation, but the singles didn’t hold back.  Rap queen Gigi Lamayne told the guys, “I’m a musician and I can’t wait to sing on your mic and rap circles around you,” while Nicole Kaas said, “You can call me Coco. I own an upholstery company, so I’m used to seeing things get taken apart and put back together the way I want it done.”  And the men were just as direct. “Good evening, ladies,” said  Dainamiaro ‘Dain’ Ogulu. “I’m a sexy model from Nigeria.
