THE new reality six-part series Make Life Good, which revolves around the spirit of Ubuntu, premiered last night on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161).
An LG Electronics’s production, hosted by Jessica Dlamini, the Make Life Good project is an uplifting reality series, bringing goodwill, purpose and transformation into an unforgettable experience for viewers.
In each episode, the host connects with an aspirational individual — someone who has achieved success, but remains deeply committed to giving back — and explores the cause closest to their heart.
The achievers, who will be featured in the series, are William Okpara (Former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper) for Kensington Secondary School, Saray Khumalo (mountaineer, explorer, author and first Black African woman to summit Everest) for LIV Lanseria, Adze Ugah (director, writer and producer) for Bold Men Skills Programme, Thandi Mavata (entrepreneur, author, founder of Doek on Fleek, mental health and women empowerment advocate) for Leratong Joy for One (Alexandra) and Perpetual Kendi (Pan-African entrepreneur, communications strategist and Laute Luxury Wines founder).
In a display of true Ubuntu, the LG Electronics and Make Life Good team steps in to deliver a high-pressure 24-hour transformation, creating a powerful, real-world impact.
With the host, they visit an organisation that is changing lives from feeding vulnerable families to empowering young people and uplifting communities despite limited resources and overwhelming challenges.
What comes thereafter is not just an amazing makeover, but also a demonstration of the true power of collective action and a renewed chance for the organisations to serve more needy people, restore dignity and to continue changing lives.
The GE head of unscripted content at MultiChoice, a Canal Plus company, Mbali Ntuli, said Make Life Good is more than just a reality television series, but a celebration of compassion and the unique African belief that when one rises, they should strive to lift others as well.
“We are honoured and proud to be at the centre of a project that is a reminder that even a small act of kindness can transform an entire community,” Ntuli said.
Echoing similar sentiments, LG Electronics chief executive officer of the Middle East and Africa Region, Phil Jung, said with the series, they wanted to move beyond product specifications and celebrate the authentic, emotional human stories of our region.
“At LG, our Life’s Good philosophy is built on the belief that technology should serve humanity, making our daily lives more convenient, connected and meaningful,” Jung said.
