Get ready to witness the comedic extravaganza of the year with The Showmax Roast of Minnie Dlamini, set to stream from this Friday, April 26, 2024.

Minnie Dlamini, often dubbed South Africa’s Diamond, is set to take center stage as the second Black African woman to be roasted, following in the footsteps of Khanyi Mbau. Renowned as a media personality, MC, businesswoman, and model, Minnie is no stranger to the limelight. However, this time, she’s taking control of the narrative.

“This is a moment for me to turn lemons into lemonade,” says Minnie. “This is a moment for me to see and hear a lot of the things that people have been saying about me and turn what was said into something light and fun. In addition to that, this is a celebration of myself and my career. So my roast will surely be a good day at the office – what a way to get paid!”

With comedy giants Jason Goliath and Tumi Morake leading the charge as roastmasters, viewers can expect nothing short of side-splitting humor. The star-studded panel, featuring names like Robert Marawa, Lasizwe, Celeste Ntuli, Penny Lebyane, Trevor Gumbi, Siv Ngesi, Da L.E.S, and Shahan Ramkissoon, promises to deliver gut-busting punchlines that will leave audiences in stitches.

“I think the panellists are phenomenal,” says Minnie. “Comedians really understand the concept of a roast more than anyone. For them, it’s not about the commentary being true or not, it’s about being funny and they get that to a T. The non-comedians are also incredibly surprising – you won’t expect to see them in this light.”

Minnie hints at Trevor Gumbi’s comedic prowess, promising viewers a masterclass in humor. “If you’ve forgotten how incredibly talented that man is, watch the roast: it will jog your memory. He is a world-class act; he flexed his creative genius in true Trevor Gumbi style.”

“I’ve watched all of the local roasts, and I think this one is going to go down as one of the funniest, especially considering the current talkability that surrounds my life and career,” says Minnie.

Don’t miss out on the laughter and entertainment. Stream The Showmax Roast of Minnie Dlamini from Friday, April 26, 2024.
