Makosi Musambasi's television show, "Makosi Today" is set to air on a United Kingdom channel, as its popularity continues to grow.
This was revealed by the show's director, Munya Dodo during "Makosi Today Season Two" preview that was held at the Book Café on Wednesday night.
"We are looking forward to going on to a new channel, Vox Africa in September as there has been demand for the content in the UK where Makosi is still popular," he said.
He said this to thunderous applause from fans and stakeholders who thronged the venue in support of the talk show host who could not attend the event since she is out of the country.
Rudo Chakanyuka from the Book Café hosted the event as Musambasi is said to be filming some of the season's episodes in Ghana.
Guests at the event had emotional moments from interviews especially that of a South African designer Laure A White, who continues to be an inspiration to many despite having been gang raped.
Another touching interview was that of a man who has been living with HIV for the last 20 years while his wife and kids are HIV negative.
Some of the guests from Season Two – Rabison Shumba, Tsitsi Dangarembga and Ignatius Munengwa – were part of the audience.
From the event, it emerged that Roki's interview from Season One was considered the best as it had most views.
According to Makosi's Facebook page, the interview has over 12 000 views from people across the globe.
The show is likely to get international acclaim when it is aired on Vox Africa.
Vox Africa is a Pan Africa Channel, which can be viewed on DStv in Africa and on Sky in the UK.
"Makosi Today" is a current affairs lifestyle show that has been aired on ZTV.
According to her website, Makosi aims to restore patriotism in the young African people whom she said are at the verge of giving up on Africa
"With the view that the grass is greener on the other side, our motto or the core of our mission statement is: The grass is not greener on the other side, it is greener where you water it! which is the opposite of what intellectual terrorism stands for, which compares our system to the West and encourage the young to fight against our own system," she notes.
