The big stage is set for the SAMA24 extravaganza and it will take not one, not two, but three stars to set it alight. Somizi Mhlongo, the much-loved TV and radio personality and host par excellence returns for the record third time as one-third of the hosting team. He will be joined by fellow radio star Dineo Ranaka and comedian Mpho Popps to steer the televised one-night spectacle.
Dineo is famous for her reality show and the spin off show featuring her family. She’s also a radio jock of many years and a businesswoman. Mpho is one of the new faces of comedy and with every show he continues to earn legions of fans.
