SuperSport Park was the place to be as TV favourites Je-Ani Swiegelaar and Werner Coetser joined Vanes-Mari Du Toit to celebrate the high-stakes action and lifestyle of the SA20.
The star power continues to rise as the tournament heads toward a blockbuster final in Cape Town this Sunday, 25 January.
The Paarl Royals went head-to-head with the Joburg Super Kings at SuperSport Park last night, but the real fireworks were happening pitchside.
The kykNET royalty officially moved into the "office" of the ever-charming host Vanes-Mari Du Toit to talk wickets, vibes, and everything in between.
Binnelanders star Je-Ani Swiegelaar and fan-favourite Werner Coetser (the man we all know and love from 7de Laan) were in the house, proudly repping their love for the game.
While they were there for the match, they made it very clear: their hearts belong to the Pretoria Capitals.
Je-Ani let us in on her "cricket crush," revealing that her favourite player is the Paarl Royals’ rising star, Asa Tribe.
WHY?
Besides his undeniable talent, she’s obsessed with the fact that he stays clinical on the pitch while rocking his glasses—a signature look that Je-Ani says makes him totally unforgettable.
As for Werner, the Pretoria native was buzzing from the energy in the stands.
Describing the atmosphere as "electric," he admitted that while his heart is with Pretoria, he was secretly crossing his fingers for a massive performance from the Joburg Super Kings last night just to keep the spirit alive.
For Werner, it’s all about the fans: "The reaction every time a six is hit is unbeatable. At the end of the day, cricket is about the people."
THE ROAD TO THE FINAL (AND A PRIVATE PARTY?)
Je-Ani is no casual viewer; she’s been keeping a sharp eye on the SA20 and praised the world-class quality of this year’s tournament.
She’s already gearing up for the Pretoria Capitals’ big push toward the Final this Sunday, 25 January, in Cape Town.
But wait—the vibes didn't stop when the cameras cut.
Apparently, the place to be for the Final isn't just Cape Town; it’s Je-Ani’s house! She extended a live TV invitation to Werner for a watch party featuring her famous French bulldogs. Honestly, is there a guest list we can join?
THE STAR-POWER ISN'T STOPPING
The lifestyle-meets-sport crossover is only getting bigger.
Next up, the Wanderers Stadium is preparing for a takeover by actor and influencer Zamani Mbatha, who is set to bring some serious fashion flair to the cricket experience.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape are preparing to host the Paarl Royals tonight in a high-stakes battle for that final spot.
Whether it’s world-class bowling or A-list sightings, the SA20 is officially Mzansi's favourite blend of sport, lifestyle, and fashion.
