The popular Metro FM relationship feature Ask A Man is moving to television. Somizi Mhlongo, Quinton “Naked DJ” Masina and comedian Vafa Naraghi will host the new show, Bona Magazine reported.
The show will premiere on S3 on Monday, 2 November 2026, at 19:00. Episodes will also be available on the SABC Plus streaming platform.
“For years, Metro FM has held space for honest conversations about dating, heartbreak, marriage and family,” said Siyanda Fikelephi, Acting Business Manager at Metro FM.
Fikelephi said the feature had grown into more than a radio segment over the years. Fikelephi added that the TV version would keep giving South Africans a place to share their stories without their names and gain perspective.
Dichaba Phalatse, Marketing Manager for Video Entertainment at the SABC, said the move to TV would build on the bond the feature has with South African audiences.
“Ask A Man has become part of South Africa’s everyday conversations,” Phalatse said. She added that bringing it to S3 would give these talks a new dimension, with the three hosts adding their own views, humour and life experience.
The show will look at dating problems, situationships, heartbreak, marriage and family expectations. It will also take on hard questions that people may not want to ask openly.
The hosts will discuss selected stories, and experts will add their insights. All featured stories will stay anonymous to protect the privacy of the people who send them in.
Somizi has worked in choreography, acting, singing, radio and television. He started acting at the age of 13 in the 1987 film Scavengers. He later became better known through the 1992 musical film Sarafina.
Naked DJ already has a long link to Ask A Man. He co-hosts on Metro FM, where the feature has built a loyal following over the past ten years.
He is also a music producer who has shared stages with Beyonce, Drake, Mary J. Blige, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Black Coffee. He hosts his own shows, Audiogasm and Saturday Sunsets.
Vafa grew up in Mahikeng with Persian parents. He speaks several South African languages, including Setswana, isiXhosa and Afrikaans.
He first studied civil engineering at the University of Cape Town. He also earned a master’s degree in structural engineering before he turned to comedy.
Since then, Vafa has won two SA Comics Choice Awards. He also received seven more nominations across 2023 and 2024.
According to the report, the TV version aims to keep the spirit of the radio feature while adding visual storytelling and talks with the hosts. The first episode airs on S3 on 2 November at 19:00.
