Five Minutes With Khanyi Mbau: 

What attracted you to a show like Tropika Smoooth Fan?

What I really like about the Tropika Smoooth Fan concept is that the show is for the fans, by the fans. My brand isn’t what it is today because of just talent alone but also because of the people who support it. I always ask what’s the use of acting if no one switches on the TV. My fans play a very big role and element of my brand growth and me as a person and this is a way to give them a bigger glimpse into me as a person.
