Adriano Visagie

It was a good year for Namibian actors and radio DJs. Multi-talented Adriano Visagie made a splash this year with an encore-worthy performance as Tina Turner at the Warehouse Theatre. He’s been on stage, he’s slayed at fashion events and his voice was no stranger to entertaining guests at soireés as the host with the most. A broad-minded man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, Visagie shares what his year has been like.

Daaarling, hard work and a lot of play.

I failed once this year at compromising the quality of my brand and it hit me that this type of event doesn’t resonate with me.

The generation that makes stupid people ‘famous’.

Tulonga, saving a baby from an accident scene. She literally risked her life to save another.

A lady who arrived with a bath robe and towel to fashion week. No! Epic fail, especially when you’re trying to copy the original look.
