Stick to acting, bra!

While most local celebrities have been cagey about their new year's resolutions, comics have volunteered free advice that some high-profile South African personalities should heed.

With the all-important ANC elective conference scheduled for December this year, in Mangaung, Joey Rasdien has warned a "certain" actor-cum-politician (Hlomla Dandala) to stay away from making any sudden utterances about key policies.

Rasdien said: "Some should stick to acting and not politics. You know who you are, and clearly you can't COPE with the political situation."

He added that if politicians wanted to shake up the economy, they would find it hard to do so by embarking on a march from Johannesburg to Pretoria in sweltering Gauteng heat.

Mojak Lehoko, who has been making waves on Late Nite News on e.tv, was taken aback by Nonhle Thema's hilarious utterances in Drum magazine , in which she blamed her alter ego for going off the rails last year, when she attacked YFM and Club 808 presenter Dineo Ranaka on Twitter.

Lehoko said blaming her alter ego would not pay Thema's bills after she parted ways with a slew of sponsors.

He said: "I think Nonhle should be left alone.

"I do hope that her alter ego has a job lined up for her, otherwise it's going to be 'JanworryBoss' for the whole of 2012 ...

"We should call her alter ego 'Ja Rule Nothing'."

Ndumiso Lindi said he was tired of the hissy Twitter fights between Western Cape premier Helen Zille and soul singer Simphiwe Dana.

The pair have been locked in a racism war since early last year.

Lindi said: "Oh no! No more Simphiwe Dana and Helen Zille.

"Let's just get Mbongeni Ngema to make a political musical, so these two can sing together, run around Table Mountain and hug it out eventually."

But he also thought the producers of SABC1 township drama Zone 14 should "come out and just call it Yizo Yizo 4 The Return".

Yizo Yizo was another popular township drama which had tongues wagging with oft-times explicit portrayal of issues including gangsterism and rape in Soweto.
