This week the award winning rapper was mentioned along the likes of Seyi Shay, Given Stuurman, Ayanda Makayi, Stephanie Sandows, Winnie Ntshaba and Samkelisiwe Makhoba, as the latest characters to be added to this thought provoking series.
Having successfully highlighted issues affecting young people in Kenya and Nigeria for nearly a decade, MTV Shuga is using powerful contemporary storylines and relatable characters to disseminate public health messages targeted squarely at South African youth, with a particular focus on adolescent girls and their vulnerability to HIV infection and unintended pregnancy, and exploring sexual identity.
Crowded with interwoven stories of heartbreak, love, betrayal and difficult decisions among contemporary South African youths’ -Shuga walks the talk!
Shot in cool clubs, hangouts and schools of Johannesburg’s Braamfontein, and the township of “Zenzele”, a fictional version of Soweto, it will premiere across Africa on MTV Base (DStv Channel 322), BET (DStv channel 129) and BET International.
Shuga will air on other broadcast channels, including SABC from 8 March 2017.
Well, depending which side you seated at, Shuga can be described in two forms: Shuga Mama or Shuga Daddy. Amen!
