M-Net has commissioned a new weekly talk show, The Ones with TBose, for its Mzansi Wethu (DStv 163) channel which will be fronted and produced by Thabo Mokwele and his T-Bose Productions.
Set to start broadcasting on Mzansi Wethu on Sunday 30 March at 18:00, the in-studio weekly talker is a co-production between his T-Bose Productions and Jazzworx.
In The Ones with TBose, Thabo Mokwele, known as "TBose", will "delve into the lives and stories of influential figures across a broad spectrum of industries - from arts and entertainment to politics, lifestyle and beyond".
Guests across the 13 episodes will include John Kani, Thandiswa Mazwai, Trevor Noah, Black Coffee, Zakes Bantwini and others.
Music will be heavily incorporated into the talk show as a narrative device to help explore and explain the guest of the week's personal story.
According to Mzansi Wethu "The Ones with TBose is not just a talk show - it's a celebration of key moments, milestones and people who have had a lasting impact on Mzansi and the world," the channel says.
"From the one song that defined a generation to the one idea that sparked a movement, this show highlights the power of a single individual, thought or moment that led to greatness."
Shirley Adonisi, M-Net director of local entertainment channels, says "The Ones with TBose taps into the heartbeat of South Africa's dynamic society, aiming to showcase the journey that propelled these individuals to success".
"This is sure to be a breath of fresh air for our viewers and we are looking forward to the stories offering both entertainment and insightful content."
