Season 5


Living the Dream with Somizi is a South African docu-reality series which chronicles the life of the flamboyant dancer, presenter, choreographer, singer, actor and Idols judge Somizi Mhlongo.

The series also features frequent appearances from his daughter Bahumi, and friend and fellow businessman TT Mbha.

Season 5 picks up in the second half of 2021, in the aftermath of Somizi's split from Mohale, Mohale's accusations of abuse against Somizi, and the passing of Somizi's mother, actress Mary Twala.

As the season starts, Somizi's career is at a crossroads: he is taking time off from Idols and Metro FM, and has replaced his management team with himself, as he looks to add a kids clothing store to the Sompirre.

Season 5 also sees Somizi exploring his calling and working on his relationships with his daughter Bahumi and his baby-momma, Palesa Madisakwane, who is still recovering from a horrific, near-fatal car crash in 2019.

The executive producers are Somizi Mhlongo and Legend Manqele for Born for This Media & Productions.
