SA Sports Awards this weekend

The annual SA Sports Awards takes place this weekend at the Sandton Convention Centre. These awards will pay tribute and honour our sportsmen and women who have done exceptionally well at the Olympics, swum like them fishes in the pool, scored many a try or a goal on the rugby or soccer fields and hit the opposition for fours and sixes on the cricket pitch.

One of the categories you can get involved in is the South African Sports Star of the Year award. All you need to do is vote for your favourite finalist. You will not only make them a winner, but quite possibly you too! A BMW 1 Series is up for grabs. Good, now that I have your attention, here are those details.

Simply SMS “SPORTS” followed by the Athlete’s corresponding letter (A-G) to 33617.

A: Vernon Philander

B: Natalie du Toit

C: Chad le Clos

D: Hashim Amla

E: Oscar Pistorius

F: Siyabonga Nomvete

G: Caster Semenya

Voting closes on the 4^th of November at 12h00 and the winner will be announced later that night.

BTW, Beyonce wont be there but I have reason to believe that two famous tennis players might be in attendance… You’ll hear more about this when it is confirmed

 

Congratulations Cameron van der Burgh

Last night South African swimmer Cameron van der Burgh became an Olympic gold medalist. The 24-year old scooped the gold medal in the 100 metre breaststroke event at the London Summer Olympic Games. Not only did he win the medal but he smashed the world record too, swimming a time of 58.46. So stoked for him!!!

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Cameron and working with him on a few projects in his capacity as an Audi ambassador and let me tell you he is one of the nicest guys around. So seeing him take Olympic glory last night just makes this all the better. WELL DONE Cammy the Fish!

 

Music Video: Watch Survival by Muse

We’ve got just 22 days until the Summer Olympic Games kicks off in London. It’s going to be amazeballs, no doubt about that. So Muse have created the official Olympic anthem called Survival. The track was released last week and now the video hit the Net. Check it out above.
