Zandile Nkonyeni, SABC Head of PR comments: - “As a big supporter of local hip hop culture, SABC 1 is excited to welcome Summer 2020 in style with one of Mzansi’s most favourite and talked-about rapper, AKA. It's important for the channel to further its commitment to bring our audiences must-watch local content that is relevant, fun and entertaining and in this case, to get the opportunity to go beyond the music and explore the artist's other talents. AKA and his guests promise to keep it fun and interesting for our viewers."

The Braai Show with AKA is a celebration of what it means to be young and free in Mzansi and will provide viewers a unique opportunity to take a glance into the lives of Mzansi’s most intriguing personalities as they are hosted by the award-winning rapper Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, professionally known as AKA.

AKA rocketed to stardom after releasing his debut solo album “Alter Ego” in 2011 and he has been making hits and finding his way to the top of every music chart since then. In addition to being Mzansi’s most talked about personality, AKA also enjoys winding down to some good food and great company. It is this love for all things grilled that gave birth to The Braai Show with AKA.

The series will feature prominent members of society such as the Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula; famed TV presenter and fashionista, Siya “Scoop” Ngwekazi; Afrotainment owner and creator of the “Fact Durban Rocks” movement, DJ Tira; as well as South African Hip Hop Award winner Nomuzi “Moozlie” Mabena. What better way to uncover what makes some of Mzansi’s most influential and controversial characters tick than by sharing some steak and chops with them?

Catch The Braai Show with AKA and get to truly celebrate what it means to be young and free in Mzansi. Every Thursday at 19h30 – on SABC 1 Mzansi Fo Sho.
