South Africa rugby coach Peter de Villiers is facing the battle of his life for his questionable conduct off the pitch that seems to spill onto the pitch as well because judging by the comments he makes in full view of media one can only imagine what he has to say in the dressing room behind closed doors. The man’s job is most certainly on..»
 

Has the ICC anti-corruption unit failed its task?

The world of cricket and sport in general has its eyes firmly set on Pakistan due to the recent allegations made against four of the players in the team regarding match-fixing and even more accurately, spot-fixing. As you know I am always sure to have an opinion on wherever the spotlight is in a sporting week; I don’t call this column Sport..»

Dual Nationality is nice isn’t it?

Last week I got to vision mix one of my favourite shows on Supersport ; one that is especially harder to mix because things tend to get quite crazy as healthy African football debate swirls around the studio floor and sends temperatures beautifully boiling. Everyone tends to speak over one another when they try to make their point of view he..»

There is a lot of truth in what SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt said when he was fuming about South African teams not having a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding in the Confederation of African Football competition for several reasons which he minced no words over. The first reason he gave is the fact that the South African Premier ..»

Chelsea FC....are they ready for the new season?

Chelsea’s Carlo Ancelotti is hell-bent on the idea that he does not need to invest in new players in order to succeed this season. He said the exact same thing last season and we all know how that panned out. Chelsea became Premier League champions and FA Cup winners. Ancelotti tweaked his players about, threw in some fresh blood and what do..»

Michael Schumacher became the bigger man this week after realising his mistake and apologising for placing his former Ferrari team mate Rubens Barrichello in danger when he performed a dangerous blocking manouvre as the two battled for the last scoring position at the Hungary Grand Prix.

 Profile
Born in Entshongweni, KwaZulu Natal, Sthembile Shelembe is quite the proud, firmly grounded Zulu girl that many imagine when they think of a Zulu speaking person.
Yes I am a bit stubborn too.
A sparkling, rainbow coloured personality is one of my main characteristics although I must say I do not own a pair of rose tinted sunglasses so I always just tell things the way they are, or the way I think they are(it is my opinion after all isn’t it).
The world of media is my oyster; all I have ever wanted to do was to be involved in it and see what all the noise was about.
So I made my way to the loudest place I could find straight after high school; a Sound engineering institution.
It was a blast! I learnt everything from broadcasting journalism to music production and emerged with a national Diploma.
After that I went about exploring the media world: I did a TV production course at NEMISA, I worked as a Vision Mixer at Mnet and a Sports Editor at Supersport.
I have hosted and co-hosted radio shows on Alex FM, YFM and Radio Midrand where I named the show after my column SportsGlitz simply because it was about my two favourite topics, sport and entertainment.
That’s me in a nutshell: sporty with a touch of glitterati.
I am a sub-editor and journo here on Newstime as well.
