As she determinedly set out to do, Rorisang Thandekiso wiped out the notorious Deal or No Deal <\/em>banker for a worthy cause in a goosebump-inducing episode of Deal or No Deal Celebrity. <\/em>The R250 000 jackpot, made possible by the show\u2019s proud sponsor, LottoStar, will be donated to Paediatric Care Africa, an NGO providing general and specialist medical care to children countrywide, including secluded areas with no or limited access to doctors and hospitals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With her Deal or No Deal Celebrity<\/em> siege against the banker, Rori yet again rewrote local television history. Earlier this month, the effervescent radio and television host, actress and singer became the world\u2019s first-ever female anchor of the legendary game show Wheel of Fortune<\/em>. Now, she is also the first Mzansi A-lister to win the elusive R250\u00a0000 in Deal or No Deal South Africa\u2019s<\/em> glitzy weekly spin-off on SABC 1.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, that\u2019s not Rori\u2019s only unprecedented Deal or No Deal<\/em> achievement. It has never happened before that a South African contestant, including the daily Deal or No Deal South Afric<\/em>a, ended up with the last three remaining unopened briefcases representing the highest three amounts on the show\u2019s Money Ladder \u2013 R100\u00a0000, R150\u00a0000 and R250\u00a0000. But Rori did it! Then, our new \u201cFirst Lady\u201d of local television smashed her own record, knocking off the R100\u00a0000.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That meant the R250\u00a0000 was either in the briefcase she chose at the start of the game as her bargaining chip in battling the banker or the last unopened briefcase.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To reach this favourable and extremely rare stronghold against the bean counter, Rori\u2019s perfect gameplay was driven by incredible faith, positive energy and unusual strategies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It all started when she had to pick the briefcase with which to battle the banker from the 20 held by Deal or No Deal Celebrity\u2019s<\/em> Money Models. Rori tossed up between two dates: November 2, International Children\u2019s Day, and her birthday coinciding with Women\u2019s Day on August 9. Her unwavering support for Paediatric Care Africa resulted in going with briefcase number 2.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From there, Rori\u2019s quirky strategy for opening the first round\u2019s six cases was to lift her soul by eliminating all the numbers of ex-boyfriends\u2019 birth dates. It worked like a charm, landing her a higher-than-average banker\u2019s offer to buy her briefcase.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once Rori ran out of former beaus, she fortunately didn\u2019t run out of luck. Her new strategy entailed trusting her intuition and remaining to play with a desire to \u201ccreate greater good\u201d. So, more and more fantastic offers from the banker followed until she rejected the final offer and literally jumped for joy, finding the R250\u00a0000 blessing for Paediatric Care Africa in her briefcase.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rori expressed on the show that this quarter of a million rands will give the amazing medical professionals at Paediatric Care \u201cmore wings to do more\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys could feel entitled to be in the most comfortable hospitals because of your degrees and accolades, but you keep giving back to a world that is forgotten. Thank you to every nurse, every doctor, every specialist, psychologist, occupational psychologist. Thank you for loving those kids in a way we can\u2019t reach to love them,\u201d Rori said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
