“It’s been part of my dream, the bigger picture, and Honey TV has just given me that opportunity. I look forward to it,” Toke said.
Season one will see the likes of DJ Zinhle, Pearl Thusi, Zari “The Boss Lady” and Nasty C on the couch.
“This show is dynamic and unpredictable. It has all the conversations that viewers have been waiting to hear, straight from the source,” said Zinzi Velelo, Honey TV’s Head of Content.
