Game-changing new show has “the edge”

- ALYSSIA BIRJALAL

MINNIE Dlamini and Lungile Radu have viewers glued to their TV screens in an all-new lifestyle entertainm­ent show titled Homeground.

The show, which broadcasts live every Monday, airs simultaneo­usly on SuperSport 4 and Mzansi Magic.

“The show is your weekly dose of your favourite sporting moments of the week mixed with some lifestyle. We show you how sports stars got to where they are and what they get up to when relaxing,” said Radu.

The show offers a big entertainm­ent platform, breaking down the segregatio­n between the two worlds.

“The fact that we are sports and lifestyle orientated gives us the edge over other shows,” said Radu.

The show will host a variety of guests, ranging from the nation’s favourite sports stars to actors and musicians.

“They usually bring their entourage with them, and that’s welcome. We love hearing from our guests, their family and friends. We sometimes even have a performanc­e from an artist just to add the cherry on top. We do all of this while interactin­g with our viewers via the poll question and reading their social media messages live on Mzansi Magic and SuperSport 4,” Radu said.

Radu is ecstatic about working with co-host and “South African Glam Tomboy”, Minnie Dlamini. “She’s very good at her craft and not too shabby on the eye and I know we are going to have fun with it,” he said.

Sphumelele Sibeko, who is M-Net’s head of entertainm­ent, said: “We’re charting new territory with a live sports production, but we’re mixing it up with the hottest entertainm­ent.”

Catch Homeground every Monday, live on Mzansi Magic and SuperSport 4 at 9.30pm.
