You Spectacular Awards 2013 Winners
YOU SPECTACULAR EXTRAVAGANZA
The
crème de la crème of South Africa’s celebrities attended the
prestigious annual YOU Spectacular awards ceremony at The Lyric, Gold
Reef City, on 27 July.
The show celebrates local talent and pays tribute to favourite
personalities including sports icons, comedians, actors, presenters and
music stars. YOU editor Linda Pietersen says the event has not only
become a highlight on the SA entertainment calendar,
it is an opportunity for readers to feel more in touch with the stars
they see on screen, stage and sports field. “The fact they vote for
their favourite celebs makes them feel closer to them,” she says. “The
Spectacular is also the magazine’s chance to pay
tribute to the people who fill our pages. It’s a great event.”
After
weeks of campaigning by the nominees, it was ultimately the public who
would decide the winners. Thousands of votes poured in and the winners
for each
category were announced at the glamorous ceremony on Saturday night.
Guests
were entertained by live performances from some of the country’s
biggest music stars including Lira, ChianoSky, Mi Casa and Jack Parow.
Presenters
included The Real Goboza’s Pearl Thusi, Idols host ProVerb, Carte
Blanche’s Devi Sankaree Govender and Top Billing’s Jeannie D and Bonang
Matheba.
A
special tribute was made to former president Nelson Mandela. Madiba has
been an inspiration to YOU and its readers for years and it was apt
that the magazine
honoured the father of our nation.
