NEW SEASON. NEW ADVERT. TV DEBUT FOR OUR NEW SIGNING.

The new football season is nearly upon us and that means a new look, new feel and new vibe for BET.co.za on your favourite footy channels!

We jetted up to Jozi recently to film our latest TV commercial with our Brand Ambassador Jimmy Tau and a few special guests.

Anyone who has been involved in filming before knows the hard work, time and dedication that goes into it and these glimpses behind the scenes show you some of what went down.

Trust us when you finally see the advert you’ll see what we mean!

We started off at the Nike Training Centre in Soweto with Jimmy and freestyle football sensation Khris Njokwana. You put footballers with these skills and competitive natures together and there was obviously some good-hearted one-upmanship at play!

Jimmy was channeling his inner Derek Zoolander on Day One – pulling off a pretty impressive ‘Blue Steel’.

Based a stone’s throw from the iconic Orlando Towers, the Nike Football Training Centre was the perfect place for Jimmy to showcase his skills. The Soweto skyline played ball, providing us with some spectacular shots of Jimmy in action.

We then moved on to the Reef Hotel in downtown Johannesburg where it was Khris’ turn to really show us some of his breathtaking moves. Perched 15 stories up, far-removed from the hustle and bustle of Jozi at dusk, Khris was joined by one of Mzanzi’s brightest young hip-hop stars as they took things to the next level.

The final production will live on Supersport during all major football matches of the coming season.

Keep your eye out for it and send us your thoughts – we’d like to hear your feedback.
