This month DStv audiences tuned in to M-Net won’t have to venture abroad to get their taste of jet-set living because M-Net is set to launch its glamorous new African lifestyle series LIVING IT.

Hosted by Moky Makura, the 13-part series will run weekly from Wednesday April 23 and showcase the elegant lifestyles of the continent’s leading personalities.

 From visiting with royalty in Nigeria to socializing with high-flying businessmen, LIVING IT showcases go-getting Africans whose stories of success are both inspiring and entertaining.

Each week a different personality is profiled from countries as diverse as Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Botswana and Uganda as they offer the LIVING IT cameras unprecedented access into their private and professional lives.

Audiences are invited into the homes of these dynamic personalities as they share their lives with Moky, offering a unique perspective into what motivates them, what they believe and how they enjoy their free time.  

Join Moky as she reveals the favourite pastimes and lifestyles of these engaging personalities, from speedboat cruises and champagne breakfasts to divine décor, high performance cars and trend-setting fashion.

Among the personalities profiled on the series are Botswana businessman Kagiso Mmusi and wealthy socialite Nicky Nchindo, the Erelu (Queen) of Lagos Abiola Dosumu, Mozambican entrepreneur Adriano Weng and Zambian lawyer turned company founder Nicola Sharpe-Phiri.

Other personalities to look out for include Ghanaian legal eagle Nana Bediatuo Asante and Uganda’s best known entrepreneur, Gordon Wavamunno.

She’s an editorial contributor to African magazines such as Business Day, Maverick, the ‘O’ Magazine and Tribute on African issues, and is currently writing a book about African Entrepreneurs.  

As well as presenting the show, Moky conceptualized LIVING IT and co-produces it with Backyard Productions.
