Rich and famous under the spotlight

You wouldn't usually put Sir Richard Branson, Julius Malema and Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in the same group, but they are all part of a group of 'influential personalities' being filmed for a new documentary.

The brain-child of "MTV Base Meets", this eight-part series (Aimed at giving Africa's youth a voice) is going to have these guys face some gruelling Q&A sessions with about 40 people between 16 and 30 years old from our African Continent.

Johannesburg comedian Daniel "Deep Fried Man" Friedman, 30, was among a group of five who had a meeting with Malema, the ANC Youth League leader.

''I went in there with a long list of questions but I think I buckled a bit. I ended up asking him about nationalisation and his relationship with President (Jacob) Zuma," said Friedman, who was one of two South Africans who met Malema.
