Bubbles Mpondo and Jannie Beetge: At the height of their love (and the publicity) Bubbles and Jannie pose in front of a large picture of Jannie. "The world isn't going to forget us in a hurry". Muscleman Jannie Beetge told Drum a year ago when his much-publicised affair with top black model Bubbles Mpondo was hot news. 18 months later he was proved right when the two lovers were found shot dead in their Jo'burg flat. In this exclusive interview Stanley Motjuwadi speaks to close friends of the couple who told him that it was not the first time that Jannie had shot at Bubbles during their stormy relationship.
