All Stars versus New Stars
MULDERSDRIFT - SA Bachelor and Bachelorette contest announce new and exciting twist to this annual competition.
It was an evening of glitz and glamour, evening gowns and tuxedos and many kind people opening their hearts and wallets for the charity organisation Cansa, which was once again the benificiary of the annual SA Bachelor and Bachelorette competition.
On 27 April at Silverstar Casino in Muldersdrift 2015 Bachelor, Wayne Stafford and Bachelorette, Samantha Eaton along with the judges announced that this year’s competition will have a slight twist.
For the first time the nine new stars (competitors) will compete against nine all stars. The all stars were chosen from the best previous finalists and semi-finalist of the Bachelor and Bachelorette competition.
The nine new competitors were announced, blissfully unaware that they would have to compete against all stars that have already experience in the competition.
The 18 finalists will be narrowed down until 14 or 12 finalists are left, after which two will be crowned as the new Bachelor and Bachelorette at the beginning of November.
The 18 finalists each donate items to be auctioned off at the event to raise money for Cansa and a newly launched initiative, the TALK initiative. The TALK initiative will focus on children in disadvantaged communities and in each of the finalists community.
The T stands for tolerance and stems from respect. Parents should teach children self respect, respect for property and other people.
The A stands for appreciation. Children are naturally very self-centered it is necessary for them to to be taught gratification. L is for literacy. Children of today are faced with a myriad of traditional and digital literacies and it is important that children develop the skills to effectively navigate and decipher the constant information stream that surrounds them.
K is for kindness. Children need to learn that is not kind to judge other people and to say mean things.
This year’s finalists will focus on outreach and community programmes to assist in teaching children these valuable skills.
