Bromance is a reality show about brotherhood, friendship and the chaos of growing up in the heart of Jozi.
This is a tight-knit squad of four young men navigating their careers, love lives and the challenges of adulthood - while juggling wild weekend escapades and a thirst for the good life.
But underneath the party vibes, there's a deeper story: can these guys handle the leap from carefree bachelors to future husbands?
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jozi's lifestyle and night life, Bromance dives into the world of male friendships.
It's all about the struggle between staying true to the carefree, fun-loving side of life and stepping up to the responsibilities of maturity.
Whether it's the lure of parties, the pressure to settle down or the messiness of complicated love lives, these guys are in for one heck of a ride.
Meet the Squad:
DJ Kaygo - The Pretty Boy & Master Manipulator
(Kgotso Tsagae, 34)
A smooth-talking superstar always in trouble, Kaygo is the one who pushes the group to take life less seriously.
His arrogance and knack for mischief often land him in hot water, but he's quick on his feet and always down for a good time.
Lemii - The Funny Guy & The Leader
(Molemo Lehoko, 34)
Known as Ntoze'mnadi Ntoze'summer, Lemii is the glue that holds the group together.
He's the emotionally open one, the guy who's not afraid to share his feelings and encourage the group to do the same.
But his tendency to overshare sometimes backfires.
Hloni - The Wild Card & The Blunt Guy
(Hloni Mahlangu, 35)
Hloni, also known as The Clown, is always up for an adventure.
He's brutally honest, often calling out his friends when they're not being true to themselves.
But his bluntness can sometimes sting a little too much.
Thato - The Gentle Giant & The Peacemaker
(Thato Chuene, 37)
Known as Thato with the Good Legs, he's the calm, nerdy soul of the group, always the peacemaker who smooths over conflicts.

In a state of fear and confusion, he documented his haunting on social media under the hashtag #DearDavid.
Fourteen-million people feverishly followed his terrifying experience, yearning for answers behind the little boy who invaded Ellis' life.
Now, fueling both his fascination and his fear of the paranormal while simultaneously tapping into social media to explore every angle of his search, Ellis and friends Jen Lewis (researcher/documentarian) and Paul Bradford (ghost hunter and lead investigator) are on a mission to help others understand and escape their own nightmares.
In each of the six hour-long episodes, the trio will travel America - from Oregon to Massachusetts - hoping to help people take back their lives after unexplainable encounters with the paranormal.
By assisting others, Ellis hopes what he learns from his hands-on investigations will help further a deeper understanding of his own haunting.
Not only will the group use traditional methods in their paranormal pursuits, Ellis and Lewis will also use social media to crowdsource stories, theories and evidence to build a community and conversation around each case.
Ellis, Lewis and Bradford also will leverage social media live during each premiere to provide additional insight and connect with the community that aided in each episode.
The series premiere takes the team to Franklinville, New Jersey, widely known among Jerseyites as a particularly haunted township.
Cathy Allen's home is right in the thick of the chaos.
She has been yelled at and even pushed down the stairs, and now the hauntings are affecting her health and putting strain on her marriage.
After getting a direct message from Stephanie, Allen's daughter, Ellis rounds up Bradford and Lewis.
Arriving in Franklinville, the trio is thrown right into the mix when the spirit immediately makes his presence known, demanding they leave.
