Minnie says the name came from Rihanna\u2019s song \u2018Diamond\u2019 because she saw herself as one after South Africa watched her become one of the most notable presenters in the country. \u201cSouth Africa knows m journey, I was lump of coal and I went through all the trials and tribulation and developed until I started to shine\u201d,m she said.<\/p>\n

Minnie says she now sees herself as someone who\u2019s finally arrived and refined like a shining diamond. \u201cSouth Africa saw my potential to be a diamond\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

The TV presenter however revealed she would never go back to the show that started it all. Asked to choose between going back to Generations or Live, Minnie chose Generations. That bad huh?!<\/p>\n
