IT seems the storm is over for media personality Somizi Mhlongo.
His reality TV show, Living the Dream with Somizi, is coming back for another season and will premiere on Showmax next month.
According to the producers of the show, season five will pick up in the second half of last year following the aftermath of Somizi’s split from Mohale and the abuse allegations levelled against him by his estranged husband.
Speaking about shooting the show, Somizi said it has been a roller-coaster.
“But the dream never dies, no matter how crazy things may get. Angeke. Life isn’t always easy, but we must remember that the hard times are there to teach us,” he said.
Producers of the show further revealed that the new season will also see the media personality exploring his calling and working on his relationships with his daughter, Bahumi, and his baby mama, Palesa Madisakwane, who is still recovering from a horrific, near-fatal car crash in 2019.

The show is now produced by seasoned producer, Teddy, and directed by Sandile Ndluli.
It will have appearances from the likes of Cassper Nyovest, Kelly Khumalo, Lerato Kganyago, Lorcia Cooper, MaMkhize, Pearl Thusi, and Vusi Nova.
In a statement, Candice Fangueiro, head of content at Showmax, said they were excited about the new season.
“Somizi is one of the most influential figures in pop culture in South Africa. His wedding special, Somizi & Mohale: The Union, was the union of the year and set a then record for the most first day views on Showmax at launch.
“Having told the story of the wedding, which appeared to many almost like a fairytale, for balance we wanted to explore everything that followed,” she said.
