Cosmopolitan magazine announced the winner of the 2012 Sexiest SA Man title at Movida in Johannesburg last night. Afrikaans singer Bobby van Jaarsveld walked away with a R10 000 cash prize and the bragging rights of being South Africa’s sexiest hunk.
The Cosmopolitan Sexiest SA Men Calendar, sponsored by Brutal Fruit, was published with the January 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, giving readers the opportunity to vote for who they think is South Africa’s sexiest man.
