Celebrity
compere and Beat FM OAP, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi was one of the selected
journalists who attended the recently concluded MTV Africa All stars concert in
Durban, South Africa and has shared her personal experience of the four-day
trip.
I
was invited by MTV Base &KwaZulu Natal province to attend the grand finale
of African All Stars Concert in Durban, South Africa. I sorted out my travel
documents and eagerly awaited the trip. This would be my first proper trip to
another African Country. I have been to Kenya once but it was a stop over trip
on the way to Dubai. I used to feel a little ashamed of visiting other
countries in other continents often but not Africa.
I
got to the Muritala Mohammed airport extra early and I still had to queue! I
hate queuing! I checked, went through security and was SO ready to get out of
Lagos.
The
flight there was smooth and uneventful. When we got to Johannesburg, I met up
with the crew- Onos, Chuks, Omaliicha and Colette. Our first port of call was
the Bureau de Change to change our money to South African Currency. I got my
rands and I thought I was “balling” (as rappers say) Lol. PIC
The
flight to Johannesburg was very short. We were soon in Durban. Our airport
pickup crew was there to welcome us. We loaded up our suitcases and we were off
to our hotel. The rest of the crew made fun of me because I had two suitcases
and my handbag. What can I say? I don’t pack light!
I
was looking forward to going shopping at a REAL MALL!! Everyone who knows me
knows I LOVE shopping!!
