Afro Café Season 12 kicked off with Kabomo and will feature the likes of ZanoUrban, Nothende, Donald, Max Hoba and TRESOR with surprise appearances by well-known actress Lerato Mvelase and a gospel special with Judith Sephuma and much more.

Afro Café will be presented again by one of Motswako’s originators, musician and poet, Stoan Seate. The show takes the listener on a journey of South African adult contemporary and popular music, pays homage to legendary artists, introduces young, upcoming and new musicians and provides the viewer with some insight into the music industry. The season will be 39 episodes long and will air every Wednesday at 10:00 and repeat every Saturday at 10:00 on SABC2.

Mabotja’s appointment as the series producer and musical director of Afro Café follows her recent selection to take on the role of musical director in Nigeria for the Tecno Own The Stage finale which took place in February 2016.

“I am excited and still humbled to be a part of this awesome team and show,” says Mabotja. “Having been the series producer and musical director of Afro Café for the past two seasons, I believe we are taking the show to another level with season 12. This season, we promise our viewers more fun, awesome talent and great performances from their most loved local artists,” she says.

Mabotja holds an impressive resume of work done under her company Lebotja Media, where she composed the theme music You Belong for SABC2, Afro Café, Nedbank KeYona - Make The Team, Making Moves, Sunday Chillas, etv's I Love South Africa, Koze Kuse and SABC1's Mzansi Insider as well as a Wawela nomination for You Belong.
