Bringing families together
Speaking to Daily Sun, the media personality reflected on what the show means to him and what he hopes to achieve through his role on Deal or No Deal. Looking back on the various shows he has hosted throughout his 16-year career, he highlighted the special place this production holds in his heart.
Beyond being a game of chance, he sees it as an opportunity for contestants to walk away with R250,000 and potentially change their lives.
However, the most important aspect for him is how the show can sew back the fabric of the South African family.
“I remember growing up watching shows like Tele-Fun Quiz and Zama Zama, where we’d all sit on the couch and enjoy a show together,” he said.
Thus, he hoped to produce a show, Deal or No Deal, that brings such an element of family bonding back into the culture of South African society.
Behind his desire to bring families together is an awareness of the challenges facing today’s youth, including rising youth unemployment. He believes his goal of strengthening family bonds is something South African society desperately needs.
