We all know Sipho Masebe aka Cga one of Alexandra’s well
known celebrities, Fashion TV’s brand ambassador, Berry Blast founder, Model
and also well known for his annual All White Tropical party. Today I am sharing
with you an inside scoop of what he did this past weekend, from his ride (Mini
Cooper) the events, media and the people he was with.
Cga’s ‘Mini ’ Diary:
Day 1: 10am
I receive a call from my friends at Lyndhurst Auto mini, the sales manager (Chris) wants me to test drive the Mini Cooper S Hatch for the weekend, this came at the best time seeing I have a very hectic weekend ahead, so the best car for that is definitely a Mini Cooper S hatch with a bonus of its speed.
12:30pm I am at the Lyndhurst Mini Auto and the first thing I see is a crowd of people and lots of media, I even spot Bianca from Expresso show in the mids. The polite gentleman in me made it a point to avoid the media and hide in my little corner minding my own business till everything comes down.
1pm everything is quite and everyone has left the building. Chris emerges and takes me on a tour and shows me the vehicles, I must say I’m quite delighted because I’m a mini cooper fan I've loved the brand for ages and I've seen it evolve for years. I get a few lessons about the mini cooper hatch and the amazing things it can do.
2pm Running a bit late for set up for the Fashion TV event in Newtown, thank God I make it in time all thanks to the new ride (mini) first thing, I notice when I park the car is that this car gets a lot of attention… I mean from just an ordinary dude on the street to the packing attendant, boy it’s definitely an attention seeker, well I can relate to that lol.
2:30 pm Set up is done, venue looking great , models all ready, I quickly need to rush home and refresh for the party tonight, but wait I have to show off this baby to one of my good friends (wise the Dj)
3pm (wise the Dj’s home) I arrive at my boys place the first thing he says when he sees the mini cooper is "ohh my my she's a beauty" well anybody that knows us knows we love fast great looking cars.

fast forward time
We arrive at Newtown for the Fashion TV party I had reserved a VIP parking space earlier as the FTV Ambassador and also to make sure I make a grand entrance in my new ride for everyone to see. An impression I made all thanks to the striking colours and my favourite mode, one small ring around the shift gate, by simply twisting the dial you can adapt the performance of your mini to your current mood, fancy a relaxed drive through town? Then go green. It’s easier on the environment and on your nerves
2am (Saturday morning) Fashion tv party ends (awesome party and everybody loves the car)
10am @ (tashas Bedfordview) I meet up with my friend Lucas (investment banker) for breakfast talk a lot about boys stuff and yes cars too.

4pm (my place) Getting ready for Access Jozi and the Hangout Reunion Event, damn it’s going to be hectic night ahead.
7pm (Access Jozi event) We arrive with my boys looking slick with hot rides too. Looking around I see lots of familiar faces and industry friends from models, dj’s, actors, socialites, fashion designers, soccer players you name it.
10 pm We decide to hop to the (Hangout Reunion Event), we arrive at the best time everybody trying to get in and the queue is overwhelming, the perks of being “famous” is we don't do queues we receive Vip treatment all the way nonetheless we get a perfect spot and obviously we sipping on Fashion TV Champagne and vodka all the way….we ‘party party party’ till we drop (sober up, lots of water). 2 am (bed time).
12pm (Sunday) Hooked up with my friends Linda (celebrity publicist) ,Wise (dj) , Ngwazi (fashionista) ,we out to PDL Car wash in soweto making sure the babies are beautiful and clean like us.
1pm @ Poetie Braai place (Soweto) Nice vibes, great ambiance, young executives ,trend setters and spotter's, hot looking vehicles outside.
10 pm it’s time to head home and sleep. Another option I love about the mini is that you can put it on sport mode meaning I can arrive faster at home, it’s been a great weekend ,great parties, amazing friends and yes! my ride the Mini Cooper S Hatch what a beast I call it beauty and the beast.
