Bruinou.com on SABC 1’s L’Atitude

This is just a note to inform you that Bruinou.com has been interviewed on SABC 1’s L’Attitude. The tentative date for the airing of the show will be Tuesday, November 28th at 19h00. We will continue to press for more media coverage in all forms until we are given our very own television show and other media platforms. We are hard at work with our own show and have developed a brilliant concept. We are currently in the process of shooting a pilot for this landmark show that we plan to complete by early next year. When our very own show airs (IF, is not an option), it will be groundbreaking and will depict Coloured people in a totally new light, one that the rest of South Africa has never seen before. We will instill a new sense of pride.

There has been a great deal of reluctance from corporates to buy into the concept. As a result, we are pushing even harder to get media coverage in any forms, in order to get our voices heard all over. Having our own show will just open the door for musicians, comedians, business people and do so much for our community. The platform that Bruinou.com creates is limited and we realize that in order to get people to hear us we need to have television coverage and other forms of media. When we have our functions, this is primarily a vehicle to reach our other objectives. We are not an events company and so once we have reached our objectives, events will not become a focus of what we do. We will still continue to have them as a place where our members can take their chat offline. So when you see a Bruinou.com function, make sure you attend.

Anyway back to the show. We go into some detail discussing our plans with our television show, using the opportunity to appeal to sponsors. I am really looking forward to seeing how it comes across.

We invited a host of people to join us on the show including Bianca Le Grange, Craig Palm (of Tsotsi fame), Clint Brink (Scandal) and a number of other prominent people from within the community. We are confident that the group of people that we selected carried the flag high and did a sterling job in ensuring that this was the best that Coloured people have been depicted on national television.

We would like to thank Lebo for having us on the show and for the high levels of professionalism and enthusiasm that she expressed towards us. We are glad that she bought into the concept and is now an avid follower of Bruinou.com. We would also like to thank all of our guests who took time out of their very hectic schedules to come and share their insight and opinions with us. It was really flattering getting such a good response from such prominent people. It just goes to show the seriousness that people of this calibre take towards issues like this.

All of you guys are true role models and we intend to showcase these brilliant qualities that you have. You will hear more from this as time draws nearer. I just wanted to share in the excitement of this remarkable achievement with all of you so that we can all anticipate this together. We are going to be hard at work rallying more media attention between now and then.

Keep the flag flying high and we will be in touch closer to the time to remind you of the confirmed dates. Let’s blast them with mail after the show so that they can continue to showcase more Coloured people in the media.

We will keep you posted on the confirmed dates closer to the time and share the views of the other guests who were on the show. Watch L’Atitude tonight, November 21st at 19h00 on SABC 1 so you can have an idea of what the format of the show is. This way, when you watch our show next week, you will have something to compare it with.

The struggle continues…
