In a bizarre programming move, M-Net’s Mzansi Wethu channel is doing a late-night talk show, Ses’fikile as a “spin-off” from Big Brother Mzansi, with some of the Big Brother Mzansi has-been contestants of the revived and concluded reality show season who will be talking about their lives.

Ses’fikile, starting Friday 29 April on Mzansi Wethu (DStv 163) at 21:30, will have a DJ Sol Phenduka as the presenter who is known as MacG.

Only seven of the housemates will appear on Ses’fikile.

The person will talk to the former housemates who haven’t done much since they’ve exited Big Brother Mzansi, but Mzansi Magic says in a press release that they will talk to Sol Phenduka “about everything from their journey on the show to the opportunities that have presented themselves since, and what they believe the future holds for them”.

Shirley Adonisi, M-Net director for local entertainment channels, says “We’re excited to have our first original spin-off show that resonates with our audiences and that will no doubt keep our viewers entertained”.

“Our objective is always to find new talent and nurture them as they take a leap into achieving their dreams. As a channel we are committed to the growth of our talent and this is one of the many ways we aim to facilitate this.”
