“One good thing that came out of lockdown is that as South Africans, we have come to appreciate the gift of family and spending quality time with our loved ones.
Another thing that the pandemic has taught us is the importance of living our lives to the fullest and celebrating each other’s milestones and successes as friends and families.
Wat’s Die Okkasie? should strike a chord with audiences who are looking for creative ideas to spice up their own occasions while at the same time watching favourite celebrities.
“The show will undoubtedly reignite the passion for South African families,” says Jacqui Hlongwane, programme manager at SABC 2. –
