Hot off hosting the 2023 South African Music Awards (Samas), Shozi is set to bring an electrifying dynamic to the show's latest season.
The acclaimed media personality said she is thrilled to be a part of “Adulting,” and to work alongside “such a talented and dedicated cast and team.”
“The show's unique blend of humour and genuine storytelling really resonated with me, as it did with season one’s audiences, and this season is even spicier,” she said.
Shozi added that she is looking forward to sharing her character’s “cheeky personality,” and to showcase her acting skills to a new audience.
“Viewers should get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, charm, laughter, and love! I’m inviting everyone along for this wild ride.”
Hailing from Port Shepstone on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast, Shozi brings a perfect blend of energy and skill that aligns beautifully with the spirit of the show.
With a background deeply rooted in the entertainment industry, Shozi has effortlessly carved her path by showcasing her skill and passion over the years.
