THE CAMEROONIAN BEHIND DIY SHOW "JACK UP YOUR SHACK" IN SOUTH AFRICA

It is always great to see Cameroonians doing things and succeeding and even greater when they are based outside of Cameroon. It is never easy to settle in a foreign country and be accepted for who you are and what you can bring to the table.

Meet our fellow brother, Solomon Wan-Atah based in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa. He is currently working as the production manager on a DIY (Do It Yourself) show which is gaining massive popularity in South Africa called Jack Up Your Shack or JUYS.

The show features 2 families per episode competing against each other to win the chance to renovate their homes. However, the catch is they must satisfy the 2 judges Thuli Mahlangu and Timm Vellem to win.

The winner in each episode stands a chance of winning the ultimate show prize of R200,000 worth of building materials from the main sponsor of the show; Build It, a building material franchise.

The show is a 13 episode show filmed in South Africa and Namibia available on TV from 22 September 2012 to 31 December 2012 directed by Lee Doig and produced by Matthew Gray.

The show is aired on e.TV, a free channel in South Africa from 1pm every Saturday and is hosted by Desmond Dube.

Episode 12 will profile all the 11 finalists and episode 13 will feature the announcement of the grand prize winner so stay tuned and keep it locked on e.TV for those of you in South Africa.
