Which celeb do you think will take the hot seat first? — Deal or No Deal Celebrity SA (@DONDCelebrityZA) June 6, 2025 After raising R2.2 million for more than 40 charity organisations across South Africa in season one, more celebrities will be on the show to change even more lives. Former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, Robot Boii, Vusi Nova, Sophie Ndaba, Tswyza and Zolani Mahola are some of the celebrities that have participated in the game show. Notably, media personality Rorisang Thandekiso and TV presenter Pearl Modiadie are the only two celebrities who hit the jackpot prize and won R250,000 for their charity of choice. Thandekiso made history in 2024 and became the first person to win the ultimate jackpot for charity on the show. She generously decided to donate her winnings to Paediatric Care Africa, a non-governmental organisation that provides essential medical care to children across the country, with a special focus on remote areas where access to healthcare is scarce or non-existent. The donation funded the shipment of a 40-foot container from the UK, filled with vital medical supplies, furniture, and mobility aids. Earlier this year, Modiadie won the R250,000 grand prize for Tshepang Care Centre, a charity based in her hometown. The centre provides crucial support to vulnerable individuals and families in Thembisa, offering food assistance and social services. Located in Thembisa, the Tshepang Care Centre is situated in the Vusimuzi informal settlement, an area plagued by high unemployment rates.

'Double-barrelled and proud': DJ Sbu's tribute to his father
Radio 2000 presenter DJ Sbu has decided to use a double-barrelled surname to honour his biological father. While interviewing Sol Phenduka on his YouTube podcast channel Hustlers Corner, DJ Sbu revealed he would henceforth be known as Sbusiso Gedla Leope kaNkosi and no longer as Sbusiso Arthur Leope. 'The surname Leope belongs to the father that raised me, hence I have Iziphandla (cultural wrist bands). I have been going through the name-change process traditionally,' DJ Sbu shared. 'My biological father, Mr Nkosi, has sadly since passed and he didn't pay damages to my mother's family since I was born. So I was raised by my stepfather Mr Leope. He's the man that married my mother. 'I loved both of them dearly but they are no longer around. I'm the man that I am today because of Ntate Leope.
