Get ready for Bromance, the highly anticipated new reality show coming to Mzansi Magic this January. Set in the bustling heart of Johannesburg, Bromance dives into the lives of four young men navigating their careers, love lives, and the chaos of growing up. It’s a story of brotherhood, friendship, and the struggle to balance fun with responsibility as these friends transition from carefree bachelors to potential future husbands.
This isn’t your typical reality show. These guys are tight-knit, but they’re about to face some tough questions about maturity, commitment, and the wild ride that comes with adulthood. While they love to party and live life to the fullest, the deeper question lingers: Can they grow up without losing themselves in the process?
“Bromance captures the reality and struggles of many men trying to balance their playful lifestyles with the serious aspirations of becoming married men,” says Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels. “It’s a journey of self-discovery, questioning whether they are truly ready for the committed life they seek.”
Here’s a look at the four friends at the center of the action:
• DJ Kaygo – The Pretty Boy & Master Manipulator (Kgotso Tsagae, 34): Kaygo is the smooth-talking troublemaker of the group. Always up for a good time, he’s the one who pushes the guys to live life less seriously. But his tendency to stir up mischief often lands him in hot water.
• Lemii – The Funny Guy & The Leader (Molemo Lehoko, 34): Known as Ntoze’mnadi Ntoze’summer, Lemii is the emotional heart of the group. He’s the guy who keeps everyone connected and encourages openness, though his habit of oversharing can sometimes create awkward moments.
• Hloni – The Wild Card & The Blunt Guy (Hloni Mahlangu, 35): The “Clown” of the group, Hloni is always ready for an adventure and is brutally honest, calling out his friends when they’re being less than genuine. But his sharp tongue doesn’t always win him points.
• Thato – The Gentle Giant & The Peacemaker (Thato Chuene, 37): Thato is the calm, nerdy one—always smoothing over conflicts and offering a balanced perspective. However, his quiet confidence can sometimes come off as cold or unyielding.
Together, these four friends navigate the highs and lows of adulthood, love, and everything in between. Bromance isn’t just about the wild nights out or the laughs—it’s a deep look at how these guys will handle growing up and whether they can manage the shift from freedom to responsibility.
Catch the premiere of Bromance on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) starting Tuesday, 7 January at 20:00. Don’t miss the fun, the drama, and the journey of these four friends who prove that true brotherhood can withstand the messiness of growing up.
