Juvais Dunn, co-executive producer and managing director at Weldun Media says the panellists "bring their unique blend of personalities, humour and insider knowledge to various topics that affect millennials".
"After looking at what is currently on offer in the TV market space, we felt that there is a gap for a talk show that addresses real issues faced by millennials, whilst giving Africa a voice to the rest of the world. We have always been passionate about opening up the industry, so choosing talent for the show was very strategic, says Juvais Dunn.
Kgosana Monchusi, co-executive producer and creative director at Weldun Media says "content will be rooted in the untapped African continent by engaging with Africans about topics that are relevant to them".
