Season 3

With two successful seasons already aired, The Close Up is back with an all-new crop of famous faces ready to share all aspects of their lives on and off camera.

Each show features one local celebrity telling their life story in their own words. The stories are compiled from hours of interview footage and coupled with never-seen-before archive material and images of each celebrity before, during and after their rise to fame.

Among the celebrities featured in the new season are rapper and Step Up or Step Out presenter Siyabonga "Slikour" Metane and TV personality Bonang Matheba, who were at one stage one of South Africa's biggest celebrity couples.

Other stars that have opened up about their past relationships on the programme are actor Hlomla Dandala, actress Pam Andrews, TV Presenter Pearl Thusi and model Joelle Kayembe.

Among the other celebrities spilling the beans this season are multi-award winning musician Zonke, presenter and "It Girl" Bonang Matheba, Prophets Of Da City Founder DJ Ready D, SAMA winning rapper AKA and comedian and political satirist Loyiso Gola.
