Bonang, Jeannie D and Bonnie replace 3Talk

Afternoon Express is a 45 minute lifestyle show hosted by the reigning queens of South African television, Jeannie D and Bonang Matheba, along with Bonnie Mbuli.


The show is said to be inspirational and definitely on trend and will boast live music performances, competitions and real-time audience interaction via social media.

Executive producer, Bradley van den Berg, explained Afternoon Express’ fresh approach saying: “The show will give women an opportunity to interact and engage daily, gaining many ideas from cooking, fashion, well-being and even finance – inspiring viewers to take the courage, try something new and become their best selves.”

The wonder-women hosts are proud of the show they will be presenting, as well as combining their collective star power.

“I’m very excited to be part of this experience and to be doing a new show with my Top Billing family. This is a winning formula that keeps growing and growing,” stated an excited Jeannie who is looking forward to taking on daily live broadcasts.

As for Bonang, she’s equally thrilled about the prospects of this new venture saying: “I am really excited to be stepping into a new terrain with SABC3 and the opportunity to co-host with Jeannie D and Bonnie. We can promise you, it’s going to be daytime television like never before.”

This is also a first for Bonnie Mbuli who has long been a fan favourite in popular drama series. Her candour in her book, Eyebags & Dimples, as well as on social media puts her in good stead alongside her dynamic co-hosts.

“I’m so thrilled to be one of the hosts; it is a great concept and there is so much to look forward to. I don’t think there has ever been a more exciting time for television in SA – I can’t wait!” said Mbuli.

Catch Afternoon Express, Monday to Friday at 4pm on SABC3.
