Bongani Bingwa interviews sportscaster Robert Marawa, and news anchor Shahan Ramkissoon.

Listen below.

When it comes to us Saffers, we're pros at keeping things light-hearted and fun, always ready to find the humour in any situation. And today's no exception!

Our beloved media personality and actress, Minnie Dlamini, steps into the limelight for a rib-tickling experience on Showmax's 'Roast of Minnie Dlamini', part of the Savanna and Showmax 'Laugh Africa Comedy Festival'.

Scheduled for today, Friday 5 April, at the Sandton Convention Centre, the event marks Minnie's comedic debut.

The roast boasts a dazzling line-up, with the likes of Celeste Ntuli, Trevor Gumbi, Marawa and Ramkissoon, ready to unleash their most savage material.

Ramkissoon is gearing up to unshackle his wild side, ready to let loose and roll with the punches in this unpredictable environment.

But with his knack for taking jabs at our country's politicians, Bingwa wonders if he can handle the heat as well as he dishes it out.

"Twitter has taught me to have a thick skin."

He admits the unknown is the scariest part - with no script, the reactions will be genuine and unfiltered.

As for how hard he'll go on Minnie? Let's just hope she's got a therapist on speed dial!

Marawa on the other hand, is diving in headfirst, declaring nothing is off-limits as long as it's all in good fun.

He says he's thrilled for audiences to see a different side of him and Ramkissoon, one that's usually hidden behind their professional personas.

But with a personal connection to Minnie, he promises no topic will be left unexplored.

"Sometimes people take us the way the work shows us, which is a little bit serious."

"If it has to do with me, have a full go."
