For the first time ever, we will get to see their stories in the ground-breaking Tsako Pitori partnership premiering on the country's biggest music channel MTV Base this festive season.  Viewers can expect a unique tale of success, setbacks and artists overcoming the odds to put Pitori on the map!

Pretoria has birthed legendary artists such as the iconic Bojo Mujo and Mujava, who have realised their dreams and opened doors internationally. The capital city has seen yet another novel birth of Amapiano sensations including the likes of Focalistic, Dj Sumbody and Dj Lamiez Holworthy to name a few who are blazing trails in the music and entertainment scene.

Monde Twala, Senior Vice President and General Manager at ViacomCBS Networks Africa commented “Pretoria’s impact on the local entertainment scene is without question and we are proud to tell the story of Pitori’s finest talent in this one-of-a-kind music special. As a channel, we are excited to give some of the biggest names in the country a platform to tell their unique stories of success and inspire a new generation of artists to do the same.”

The docu-series will be an unfiltered tale unpacking the untold stories of what has made some of Pitori’s finest excel in their respective fields within the entertainment industry.

Tsako Pitori will showcase Pretoria’s undeniable contribution to South Africa’s entertainment industry as well as the artists and behind the scenes players who have influenced our culture.

“This is just the beginning, we are working to get to a level where Tshwane can be more organized and united, create their events, own their masters, sell their merchandise and won’t have to move anywhere to make it in the mainstream", said Kenneth "Nyekx" Manyemula.

Kgomotso Lakaje, MTV Base Programming Lead commented “We are committed to elevating African music, African talent and trends with this exciting docu-series. This partnership is a reflection that and will extend beyond the series right across our programming on the channel.”
