THE 2009 SEXIEST MAN FINALISTS

1: DENE BOTHA – Surfer/ Model/ Actor/ Entrepreneur

If you haven’t heard about this multi-faceted 27 year old Kommetjie surfing stud, then you had better sit up and take notice now. A business entrepreneur, surfing coach and commentator, cover model, MC and accomplished actor, Dene also holds the accolade of being South Africa’s “most irresistible man” after winning e-TV’s Axe Sweet Life reality TV competition this year. “Confident. Real. Adventurous. Sensitive. A communicator. And very approachable,” is how Dene describes himself. We would certainly add damn fine, sexy and HOT!

2: FEDERICO FERNANDEZ – Musician / Model

Bringing a scorching Latin flavour to our list, Federico Fernandez was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Luckily for us, he’s made South Africa his home. We first got to know him as a model strutting his stuff on Fashion Week ramps but his true love is music. Performing in bands since the age of 13, he’s now making waves as the guitarist in the band Son of a 1000 Blues. Federico seems to have it all: a very lucky South African wife, a thriving band (a debut album is in stores) and a new baby boy. There are also plans to take the band’s sound to the rest of the world. Whatever happens, we hope Federico keeps returning to SA to keep us entertained with his charm, buff bod and meltingly sexy accent.

3: FRANCOIS HENNING – Musician

Francois Henning first made a splash as Lekgoa, the white Afrikaans-speaking kwaito star, and is now taking the local music scene by storm under a new alter ego: Snotkop. With sold out concerts across South Africa and Namibia, four prestigious awards and Gold selling records, this successful Afrikaans Punk-Pop artist is extremely talented, rebellious, daring and most certainly the new voice of a young Afrikaans generation. And unless you hadn’t noticed, this former drama student – who describes himself as “outspoken, curious and clueless” – is also incredibly sexy!

4: JONAID CARRERA – Model / Presenter / Actor

This spiritual hottie says he loves life and tries to make the best of what he has. And boy- does he have a lot! An accomplished model and fitness model, this seriously sexy contender has featured in FHM, Blaque Magazine, Destiny Man, Teen Zone, and made the covers of Stylescoop and Wrapped.

  1. Who do I Vote for????. I know most of them so I will not be voting.

    Whoevere picked the finalist I must say you have made the best decisions. All the that I know that have been choosen are not only hot they also are amazing people.

    Good luck too all

    1. Perhaps you should ask…. Perhaps you should ask the many black celebrities that refused to take part why this is the case? I have it on good authority that the organisers of the survey struggled to get people of colour to take part. Our black gay community remains steeped in self-loathing and internalised homophobia. Shame!

      1. Black guys. Most black guys are in the closet hey and that’s why they are so afraid to take part in the survey and that’s the reason why they didnt lke the kissing and cuddling that took place on the soapie “generations” because they saw that as a way of exposing themselves…..

  2. Where are the Black African men?. Surely, there are also sexy Black African men in our country? Whay are then none on this list? As a proud GBM, I wish to see the full spectrum of men in South Africa being represented – surely mamba should realise that with over 70% Black Men in South Africa – representivity is important. What about Kaiser Motaung? Romeo Kumalo? Thabang Moeketsane? et al.

    1. no black men. really. some unknown, maybe sexy yes, but unknown white men fill this sexiest men list in a predominantly black country. this is quite stupid really.

      shona ferg. from Scandal is south africa’s most recent sexiest man… and yes, he is damn sexy. he couldnt beat the likes of thmoas coetzee and francois henning? really.

      bravo to the sexiest men list. bravo.

      1. Official comment. I would like to confirm that there was a concerted effort to make the survey as representative as possible. Please note that we only list celebrities that are willing to take part. However, we sadly had a very poor response from the vast majority of the male celebrities of colour that we approached. This does not in any way diminish our commitment and enthusiasm to keep working towards improving the representative nature of the candidates in future. Nor does it in any way reduce the sexiness of our current finalists; the vast majority of whom are straight and very happy to take part. For this we salute them.

        1. Thank you very much. As much i also want to express my sincere disappointment on brothaz of colour not being selected for this year’s competition i would also want to agree and thank the editor for the clarity. I think we have to understand that many brothers out there dont want to take part simple becoz they probably think that they will be labelled gays once they take part.for sure we have a lot of potential guys that would have been here, the likes of Kaizer Motaung Junior (Soccer player), Lungelo, the list goes but im sure they wouldnt want to be part of this out of their own personal reasons…….
