TX: Saturday, 2 August 2014 at 6:05PM
Mzansi’s unique reality show is back, this time with three new celebrities. Reality Check returns for the second season on Saturday, 2 August 2014 at 6:05PM. This season sees choreographer Somizi Mhlongo, musician Bongani Fassie and actress Boitumelo Thulo swap their glamorous celebrity lifestyles for some intensely laborious charity work.
These high maintenance divas are at a reflective phase in their lives and careers. They have realised that they are more fortunate than others, and therefore keen to land a helping hand where they can. This season, they will pursue that mission: To do fabulously good deeds as they know best in communities often forgotten.
The three divas will participate in social activities such as waste management to learn more about recycling and littering in the townships. They will also assist in fundraising initiatives for various causes such as old age homes, stray animals up to organic farming. They will also be planting vegetables, cleaning chicken hacks, feeding cattle and joining other environmental awareness organisation
They will be required to use their business connections, fame and flattery to make a big impact by making small wishes happen. This Season a reward of R2 000 will be given for each episodic task that is successfully executed by the socialites. This means they have the potential to raise up to R24 000 by the end of the series. They will donate this amount to a charity that touched their hearts.
"What sets
Reality Check apart from most celebrity-driven shows is that it is not all just for show. These celebrities do get down and dirty and make an immeasurable difference. The show is also geared towards promoting active citizenship. We hope to impact positively on communities and hope that our three celebrities will be changed for life," said Monde Twala, Group Head, e.tv Channels Division.
The show was launched last year with the sexy and sultry threesome, Nonhle Thema, Babalwa Mneno and Khanyi Mbau swapping their heels and city slicker comforts for an experience that changed their lives and those who were exposed to their fabulous deeds.
