Katch It With Khanyi is a South African television talk show produced by Endemol Africa and hosted by Khanyi Mbau in which she interviews a wide variety of celebrities from her "kasi studio", situated at the Nambitha Restaurant on Soweto's iconic Vilakazi Street.
Actress and socialite Khanyi Mbau hosts the kasi-based talk show Katch It With Khanyi in which for for once Khanyi ditches the spotlight and focuses her attention on local celebrities, their thrills and frills; fashion fails, and ultimately their career triumphs.
The show was filmed at Nambitha Restaurant situated at the famous Vilakazi Street in Soweto in its first season. It moved to the iconic Orlando stadium for Season 2.
Each week Khanyi invites two famous Mzansi personalities to her kasi studio for an inspirational and sometimes quirky look into their lives.
Guests are not limited to actors, singers, fashion designers - there are also an array of controversial politicians and even entertainment bloggers.
The first five episodes feature singer Kelly Khumalo, Mshoza, award winning singer Donald, actress Laurraine "Lolo" M, choreographer Lorcia Cooper, theatre actor Athandwa Kani, Reality Check stars Babalwa Mneno and Nonhle Thema, and celebrated choreographer Somizi Mhlongo, among others.
The show features candid, exclusive and never seen and heard before footage.
In season 1 Khanyi engaged with the likes of Kelly Khumalo, Lulo Café to Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader, Julius Malema. No personality is too big or too small to grace the couch.
