The SA Bachelor and Bachelorette 2015 finals hosted a Gala Dinner at the Silverstar Casino, Muldersdrift, on 7 November.
CopperStone Promotions hosted VIP guests at the glamorous Casino’s Ballroom to celebrate and crown the fifth SA Bachelor and Bachelorette for 2015. The winners this year were Linden resident Wayne Stafford and Samantha Eaton.
“I am very excited,” Stafford aid upon winning. “It is very surreal but at the same time I am very humbled by everything.”
Eaton said she did not expect to win. “I feel overwhelmed and grateful, excited and happy. My future plans are to uphold the brand [of SA Bachelor and Bachelorette] and create more awareness for the charities, raise more funds.”
Both the winners said that they appreciated the support the community showed to them.
An auction was also hosted by Gift Ngwenya from Auction Nation to raise funds for the five chosen charities that are involved with The SA Bachelor and Bachelorette.
The hosts for the evening were Hannes van Wyk – presenter for KykNet’s Kwela and well-known actor and producer and Marisa Drummond who also serenaded the guests.
The event also included amazing live entertainment by Daniel Baron, Jacques Terre’Blanche, Karen Ferreira, George Meiring, Christiaan Baartman, Bongiwe Madlala, Granville Michaels, Simple Stories and NRG.
The evening was filled with lovely performances and local celebrities who bid the night away for exclusive holiday vouchers to go around South Africa.
“It was nice to be here, I really enjoyed it,” said Sandra Ngwenya. Christél van Eeden and Cecilia Otto commented that the music at the event was incredible and the whole event was well-organised.
The SA Bachelor and Bachelorette is not about match making, but about making a difference in the community and raising funds for charities. Guests had a great night mingling and waiting in anticipation for the winners to be announced.
