Music and youth authority MTV Base is throwing down a challenge to the youth of Mzansi, as it searches for a brand new VJ to represent the channel.
The new VJ will host shows on MTV Base and MTV as well as interviewing stars, MC-ing events, attending international awards shows such as the VMAs, EMAs and MAMAs, walking the red carpet, and travelling the continent – all while being an ambassador for MTV Base.
If you think you have what it takes to be the new face of MTV Base, applications will open in April 2016.
