Our host opens the door to ordinary and well-known guests to discuss thought-provoking conversations regarding social issues that are often seen as taboo or left unaddressed,” read a statement from the channel.

he show will see many guests speaking about their lives.“Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja invites well-known guests such as actress and filmmaker Mari Molefe van Heerden, as she shares how she was brought into an Afrikaans family as a baby and raised as an Afrikaner,” it continued.

“Poet Lebo Mashile as well as Malose Gwangwa, son of the late jazz maestro Jonas Gwangwa, will take us into their upbringing as children who were brought up in exile,” it read.

SABC3’s acting programme manager Jacqui Hlongwane said the channel was excited to welcome Relebogile and the show.

“Local talk is a very important pillar for the channel as it provides a platform for millennials to converse and discuss critical issues in a safe space. Viewers should be ready for free-flowing, unfiltered and engaging conversations,” she said.

“Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja is authentic, bold and daring. It is not afraid to push the envelope and drill down when it comes to topics that are discussed and guests that are invited to the show. Relebogile is a multitalented, award-winning media personality and businesswoman, and we are thrilled to have her on board,” added Jacqui.
