Emmy Nominated Project Runway comes to Mzansi Magic

Posted on June 7, 2018 by Mishkah Roman-Cassiem

The fashion design reality show that kick started many a career, including that of Christian Siriano, is coming to South Africa! Mzansi Magic and Ndalo Pictures in association with 4th STREET Wines and production partners Rapid Blue, are proud to announce that a local version of Project Runway is about to grace South African television screens.

I recently attended the reveal event, where it was announced that the gorgeous, sassy and vibrant Lerato Kganyago will step into the role of the host for Project Runway South Africa.

In the weeks building up to this annoucement, like the layers of a Gert-Johan Coetzee couture gown, first the judges, then the mentor and now the host has finally been revealed.

Fearlessly high on trend, Kganyago is the go-getting former beauty queen, television talk show host, presenter, DJ, entrepreneur and actress who scooped this year’s SAFTA for Best TV Presenter and stole the hearts of everyone at Project Runway SA.

I remember my first Royal Wedding… it was the 29th of July 1981 and I was in Sub B (now known as Grade 2). Lady Diana Spencer was marrying Prince Charles., and the world was mesmerised. (Insert record needle scratching sound here!) But we all know how that turned out, so on to new memories.

Memories that will be made on Saturday, 19 May 2018, when Princess Diana’s youngest son, Prince Harry, marries Meghan Markle. And you can watch the whole event live, from the comfort of your living room, on E! (DSTV channel 124). Continue reading →
