The big stage is set for the SAMA24 extravaganza and it will take not one, not two, but three stars to set it alight. Somizi Mhlongo, the much-loved TV and radio personality and host par excellence returns for the record third time as one-third of the hosting team. 

He will be joined by fellow broadcaster Dineo Ranaka and comedian Mpho Popps.

The combination of Somizi who is known to shoot from the hip with his sharp wit and the charismatic Dineo’s appeal plus the comedic timing of Mpho Popps is sure to deliver the perfect backdrop of fun and laughter on local music’s biggest night in the Sun City Superbowl.
