There’s no business like show business 
The Department of Accountancy @ UJ is proud to announce that one of our students, Simba Mhere, was chosen as the new Top Billing presenter on SABC3.
 

Simba was chosen from more than 5 000 entrants and his exceptional communication skills, sizzling personality (and not to mention his jaw-dropping looks) all added up to him being chosen as the winner of this prestigious competition.

Right from the start his charisma and charm wowed the judges and it was no surprise when his name was announced as the new face of South-Africa’s premier lifestyle magazine show. Simba is currently studying towards his B Com Accounting degree at UJ and hopes to fit his studies into a brand new life of travelling, celebrities, glitz and glamour.

This striking young man whose height and strong stature is instantly noticeable turns heads as he walks into any room, and his deep and smooth voice melts the hearts of most women who have the good fortune of hearing him speak. Originally from Zimbabwe, Simba moved to Johannesburg when he was one year old.

“I’m from a very humble background - my parents are missionaries and never had much, but they did everything they could for me. My mom started off as a secretary while my dad was on going on crusades.” Simba attended Randpark High School and then went on to study B.Comm accounting at the University of Johannesburg.

Simba, the youngest and newest member of the Top Billing family, captured the hearts of South Africa when he won the Top Billing Presenter search in 2010 and his adventure to new countries has been watched with joy by everyone in South Africa.

Another student from the Department of Accountancy, Dorah Mtetwa, was one of the Miss SA finalists for 2010. Seems that a well-balanced lifestyle of academics, sport and socializing means quite a lot in both the financial and entertainment industry out there….
Lights, camera, action!!!!
