When it comes to hot guys and girls, Mzansi has an abundance of them. Here we showcase the sexiest of our sexy Zalebs.

This week we catch up with Lantei Bannerman. You may recognize this hottie from the latest Sprite advert…find out more about this sexy young guy here!

At the moment you’re known as the “Sprite guy” – where else have we seen you?

I’ve represented quite a few brands including Sun International, Sprite, Close up tooth paste, MTN, Smirnoff, Fayrouz, Edgars, Jet, KFC and Guiness. These adverts, billboards and prints have been shown round Africa and some even featured outsideAfrica. The most popular one of course is the Sprite one.

Well when we first saw you we thought you were hot. What do you think makes someone attractive?

It’s an honor that I am considered attractive. I think I am okay looking. In my opinion a person is born with certain looks, but if someone has a lovely personality coupled with good looks, I find that very attractive.

Are dating anyone right now?

I have dated in the past but right now I’m trying to concentrate on my career first, so that I can achieve my goals. That is my priority right now.

What’s your idea of the perfect women?

There are many beautiful ladies. What separates them is personality and intelligence. My ideal woman must challenge me intellectually, have strong morals and principles, and have family and homely values. Lastly, as I am a Christian, I believe it only best for her beliefs to be in line with mine.

Do you have any local and international celebrity crushes?

My international celebrity crush is Jenifer Lopez. I think she is an amazing woman. Can’t think of anyone right now on the local scene.

What is your idea of the perfect date?

I don’t have an ideal romantic date. I think ladies can be so thoughtful. A dinner date even at home where I can see a lady has put effort in would be highly appreciated. Candles wouldn’t hurt either…
