Sandy Nene

South Africa

Armed with little more than a phone, a data bundle and a never-say-die attitude Sandile Nene has (through dogged perseverance) established himself as an entertainment, celebrity news and event blogger in the South African blogosphere. From humble beginnings, he has worked hard to establish a wide following and a strong social media presence across platforms.

Sandy's love for entertainment comes from experiences in the world of performance. As a child Sandy was involved in South African theatre working with prominent names including Slindile Nodangala (Mam Ruby of Generations), Gcina Mhlophe, Faca kulu and Madala Kunene. More recently for blog purposes, twenty year old Sandy has interviewed South African and International personalities including , Khabonina Qubeka, Nomuzi Mabena, The Durimel Twins, J'Something, Xavier Leeds and Pearl Moody.

With his passion for social media, knowledge of celebrity personalities, and the evolution of African culture, he brings real insights to the dynamics, trends and cultures informing people and subcultures in South Africa, and other African countries.
