The achievers use their life stories to unpack the process of character development, self-belief, the importance of values, and personal philosophies in building a successful life determined by one’s desires and dreams. The series will feature guests across the racial lines and from different disciplines. The show will feature people like Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman, Pastor Musa Sono, and Mirriam Zwane - just to name a few.

VisionariesLounge is shot in a relaxed studio environment where we get to know more about our guests on how they realised their dreams to be where they are today. The show is about African legacies, it is not shallow or pretentious, but is sincere, informative, engaging and inspirational and will certainly resonate with our audiences. We talk to individuals who are deep rooted, inspired and are self-made who turn the impossible into possibilities,” says SABC2 publicist Lebo Malete.
