South African Tourism (SAT), the tourism marketing organization for the Republic of South Africa, will participate in the 5th Accra Weizo scheduled to take place from June 28th to 29 at the  La Palm Royal Beach Hotel  in Accra. The forum is an annual event that gathers tourism trade professionals in the West African region.

According to the organisers, Jedidah Promotions Ltd, this year’s event will bring together over 150 major players in travel and tourism across West Africa, other parts of the continent and the globe. South African Tourism is very happy to exhibit and showcase South Africa to the West African market as the preferred destination for leisure and business travel.

“Having taken part in Accra Weizo in previous years, we feel proud to be associated again and to expose our beautiful country to the Ghanaian market and to give them a reason to choose South Africa for either leisure or business travels,” said Thekiso Rakolojane, West Africa Regional Manager of South African Tourism.

Rakolojane notes that South Africa has an objective to improve travel across the Africa Region and he believes that taking part in this year’s Accra Weizo travel expo would go a long way to help ensure this goal is met. 

“We believe that when travel succeeds in Africa, South Africa would have succeeded as well and so in all our efforts, we try to help grow travel across the region.

Accra Weizo affords us the opportunity to tell the story of our beautiful country to delegates who would be in a position to share with their clients, the variety that South African travel offers.” he said.

SAT will mount a stand at Accra Weizo to showcase to participants and visitors what South Africa has to offer, including wine, wild life, mountains, townships, the people, food, beaches, heritage, culture, conferencing and many other experiences awaiting leisure and business travelers.

The organisers say that this year’s forum has over 250 travel professionals invited from all over Africa including airlines, hotels, tour operators, destinations and tourism boards. “The invited guests will be hosted to a familiarization trip by Ghana Tourism Authority from the 25th to 27th of June,” they said. Officials of SAT would take part in the trip to learn about Ghana.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.
