The new show comes complete with a set of two new lovely presenters in Tsholofelo Maseko (21) and Mpumi Mbethe (23). The two new faces of the show were unearthed via the recently-held auditions process and they seem to possess the right kind of creative energy and chemistry to lead the show into the future.

"I am yet to wrap my head, around everything. It feels like a dream. I'm extremely, happy, to be given this chance," says Tsholofelo.

“It feels so surreal! I'm excited about working at Ses'khona. I'm looking forward to the adventures and opportunities that await me. I hope to provide the viewers with a refreshingly different kind of energy, but to also grow in my craft while learning and sharing,” says elated Mpumi.

The new exciting changes envisaged with the new show include the use of sub-titles and links. The show will now adopt a fast-paced feel infused with the energy, vibrancy and the freshness of the new presenters.

“We are delighted at the introduction of the revived and refreshed Seskhona as we believe the new show will serve to enhance the viewing experience of our youthful viewers. We welcome on board the two newest youthful talents to join the illustrious list of SABC1 icons. We invite our viewers to tune in every Thursday evening at 18:30 for a television adventure not to be missed,” says Vukile Madlala, publicity manager at SABC1.

The Seskhona Presenter Search kick-started in Joburg on Saturday, 11 June and moved to Pretoria on Saturday, 18 June. The final leg was held in Nelspruit on Saturday, 25June and the process was able to unearth talent as stated below:

Top 2 in JHB: Rebecca Magagula and Phumla Gininda
Top 2 in PTA: Mpumelelo Mayisela and Tsholofelo Maseko
Top 2 in Nel: Zwelakhe Ngomezulu and Mpumelelo Mbethe

The Top 6 were then introduced to viewers when they were grouped into 2s and given the task of presenting inserts. The public got the chance to vote in their favourite presenter and, the most number of votes were cast in favour of Nompumelelo Mbethe and Tsholofelo Maseko.

“We have now acquired the services of two amazing girls who are not only eye-catching, but are extremely smart as well. They share inserts and already seem to get along. They are hard-working and open to learn as much as they can, says show producer, Phuthi Nakene. “We acknowledge the important role that our viewers played during the voting process. Thank you very much, for being actively involved in the Seskhona Presenter search,” she adds.
