Penny helps people share their stories
TV personality to host The Big Secret
Radio and TV personality Penny Lebyane will continue dealing with issues affecting communities in her new show The Big Secret.
Lebyane, who has hosted a number of shows that deal with problems in communities before such as Kukithi La,
is excited about the new show, which will be flighted on BET Africa from this Saturday, November 19, at 7.30pm.
The show will see her interacting with communities as she attempts to solve issues.
The first season of The Big Secret was hosted by Khanyi Mbau while the second was hosted by Masechaba Ndlovu.
Lebyane joins the new show after leaving Sangoma Khanyisa that was flighted on Honey Channel .
“Being part of The Big Secret
has been nothing short of phenomenal,” she said.
“I’m passionate about authentic and intentional engagements across our communities, and the conversations we have will really build relationships, community and ultimately our beautiful continent. To have BET and this amazing production crew behind me on the show has been humbling and incredibly rewarding.
“I am known for my interest in local issues that affect communities and are true. So, the discussions we will have in the programme will build relationships, strengthen the communities we live in, so that we can have a living, united and understanding nation. Being a part of this channel and the company that records the programme has been a big experience for me that
I will never forget, and
I feel very humbled.”
Senior vice president and GM, Paramount Africa and Peer Lead, BET International, Monde Twala said they were thrilled to have the renowned Lebyane as a host of the show.
“This season promises to be more gripping than ever before. We know that part of what makes The Big Secret so popular is the depth of stories, deep personal journeys and drama that resonates with local audiences.
“Penny and The Big Secret team have also worked arduously to provide a safe space for all participants to heal. The addition of social and mental health professionals reinforces this. We hope our participants will find the closure they are looking for and that our viewers will be able to learn and heal from the stories shared in this season.”
