In announcing that he’s going to be the host of the upcoming Content Creator awards, comedian and media personality Donovan Goliath played a prank on an innocent lady.
“How much would it cost to get 10 of your biggest billboards with my face on,” Goliath says in the video.
“Sorry what company are you from,” the confused lady enquires.
“No, no, no I’m not from a company, I’m hosting Content Creator awards, I just [want to] put my face up on billboards so people know,” says the comedian.

“Is this a joke?… fok off maan,” the lady hangs up in irritation.
The second annual DStv Content Creator Awards will take place Saturday 9 September in Sandton.
The awards recognise content creators who are expressive online in various fields. From fitness, beauty, automotive and all things in-between which take place in the virtual space.
Goliath is a previous winner, having walked away with the How I Shot It Award which is presented to the most informative and entertaining clip on how a piece of content was shot.
Goliath was unfortunately unable to take The Citizen’s interview due to a family commitment.
Goliath won’t only be concerning himself with being the master of ceremonies, but he’ll also be crossing fingers for another win this year.
He is nominated in the Sol Content Creator Award and the Thumb-Stopping Award.
