“I’m passionate about authentic and intentional engagements across our communities, and the conversations we have will really build relationships, community and ultimately our beautiful continent. To have BET and this amazing production crew behind me on the show has been humbling and incredibly rewarding.

“I am known for my interest in local issues that affect communities and are true. So, the discussions we will have in the programme will build relationships, strengthen the communities we live in, so that we can have a living, united and understanding nation,” she said.

She added that being a part of this channel and the company that records the programme has been a big experience for her that she will never forget.

Senior vice president and GM, Paramount Africa and Peer Lead, BET International, Monde Twala said they were thrilled to have the renowned Lebyane as a host of the show.
