KGANYA RAPOO (23, Johannesburg) How am I going to pull off the great heist? Haha. To be honest - by just being myself! I absolutely revel in the joyous authenticity of my personality, energy and excitement for life. And really, it is being myself that I hope will capture the heart and love of our dearest Qiniso ‘Say My Name’ Van Damme! High energy, high vibration! I think the fact that I’m up and about, always alive and living is a definite plus, is the sort of stuff that may pique Qiniso’s interest. Haha, I’d say a solid 8. I think I’m the very cute, sentimental, thoughtful type, which has its strengths! BRAD NEWTON (29, Johannesburg) It will be slightly daunting competing against multiple guys for Qiniso’s heart. The goal would be to focus on my own plan and limit thinking about what the other guys and intending to do. My plan would be to try to stand out a bit during the earlier stages of the show. I think I’ve got a great chance. The beautiful bachelorette appears to be outgoing, fun, adventurous and confident. I believe that I share many of these characteristics as well. We could have a lot in common, which would be a good start. I enjoy surprises and keeping things interesting. I agree, it’s all about seeing whether there is a possibility for a long-term connection. The following of my traits may assist: Honesty and openness, I have the belief that teamwork is vital, growing and learning together as a couple is beneficial and I usually commit and take relationships quite seriously. I’m a 9/10. Having a romantic side involves thinking about what makes your partner happy. It could be the smallest of things. Heading out on an unexpected picnic, heading to an exotic location, hiking together, taking your partner to places they’ve never seen before etc. I think it’s more about the gestures than anything else. It’s a pretty important part of a relationship.
DYLAN HENECK (29, Cape Town) I’d say being honest is my only tactic. Cheesy, I know, but if we like one another based on the true representations of ourselves, then great. Telepathy is probably my only hope of finding love. Ten. I once braved the six-hour drive from Cape Town to Mossel Bay just to meet a girl.
RUAN MEYER (26, Bloemfontein) The competition is definitely going to be fierce but I think going into this with a fully drawn gameplan is not going to get anyone anywhere. This is after all about Qiniso and what she wants. All I can do is be myself and hope that I have certain traits that she might find appealing. I’ve been told that I have an authenticity about me that can come across as pretty charming. I’m hoping that just being real with a dash of funny can put the sweeping into motion. I have a good sense of humour. My dad’s jokes are on point. Pair that with my dorkiness and my oh-so-seductive Afrikaans accent, I might just have what it takes to form a great connection with Qiniso. I am both a 1 and a 10 when it comes to romance. Sometimes I completely lack in the romance department and will consider playing computer games a good date but, when I feel the love, I would whip out the fondue, candles, wine and some good music.
