Durban-based tycoon and socialite Shauwn Mkhize’s exclusive “Mam’Mkhize: A Thanksgiving” two-part reality show hits the small screens this Saturday, June 25, exclusively on BET Africa.
Mam'Mkhize hosted an African royalty-themed thanksgiving event in Sandton, which coincided with her birthday in June, and now she’s ready to share all the details with Mzansi.
Known for her lavish lifestyle, the reality star and football club owner, spared no expense in making the event prestigious successful.
“The moment you’ve all been waiting for is almost here!” she captioned the video, showcasing snippets of the upcoming production.
“This thanksgiving has been a long time coming, and to see it all come together really fills my heart. This is one of many to come,” she adds.
Mam'Mkhize arrived at the venue in a Zulu-inspired outfit, riding a camel on the red carpet, as Zulu dancers performed alongside her.
The star made five costume changes throughout the event, including a design by the Durban-based Francois Vedemme.
In attendance were some of Mzansi’s A-listers, the likes of whom included social media influencer and entrepreneur Kefilwe Mabote, businessman-cum-politician Kenny Kunene, actress and “Idols SA” judge Thembi Seete, and actress Tarina Patel and her husband Iqbal Sharma.
Kabza De Small, Ms Party, Vusi Nova, Maskandi singer Khuzani and Gospel sensation Bucy were among the musicians that provided great entertainment for the guests.
The “Kwa Mam’Mkhize” star will highlight her most talked-about luxurious thanksgiving lunch in a two-part special, with each segment lasting an hour.
The segments will also include the behind-the-scenes leading up to the special thanksgiving ceremony.
Mam'Mkhize will also take viewers through cultural occasions in her opulent style.
