Clear the Runway for Thembi Kobedi

By on 11 December, 2010 in Style Star

Our December Style Star’s explosive career stalking up and down the catwalk has brought the 23-year old fame, fortune and recognition, but when she was a kid in primary school, she used to love the long jump (till she suffered a knee fracture, and had to stop sports for a while).

By on 2 March, 2010 in Style Star

Well, you can call her an Idol of sorts, even though March 2010’s Style Star didn’t make it through to the final stages of the television reality show, for some insane reason! And we can’t understand why, her new track is making great headway across the nation’s radio stations, and her petite cuteness not exactly [...]

February 2010 Style Star: Jena Dover

By on 25 January, 2010 in Style Star

How does one get an interview with a film star? Well, not through their agents, it appears, but gsport was fortunate enough to be able to hook up this famed former K-TV star anyway, and came across a gem of a Style Star to welcome 2010 in. Though her face may be memorable enough to [...]
