First, she graced the tracks with a head-turning protea-inspired garment at the Durban July. Then, she jetted off to Greece for an Instagram-worthy holiday, and this past weekend, she was a shining star on Deal or No Deal Celebrity, the glitzy SABC 1 show in which A-listers put their hearts on the line for a worthy cause.
Not only did Boity beat the shows esteemed banker in the pre-recorded episode, but her winnings of R44,780 marked a milestone for Jumping Kids, a charity organisation that transforms the lives of children with lower-limb amputations. Thanks to Boitys contribution, the funds in the Jumping Kids Deal or No Deal money pot have now rocketed to over R300,000.
Considering the odds stacked against the players in this rollercoaster game of chance, this is quite an achievement. No wonder Boity admitted to host Katlego Maboe that she was a bundle of nerves. As a Deal or No Deal fan, she knew the mechanics quite well, especially how declining or accepting the bankers deal at the wrong moment could be disastrous. Adding to the pressure was Boitys heartfelt wish to gather a substantial amount for the charity that represents hope, faith, and empowerment-values she has always cherished.
Making matters worse, she struggled to eliminate the dreaded briefcase with R1 inside, which could have lowered the bankers offer for the one she selected as her bargaining chip. At one point, the stressed Boity even kicked off her sparkly heels, and more than once, when the chances of winning big seemed to be slim, she jokingly threatened to quit the game.
