Ayanda Nhlapo and Leroy Marc will continue their roles of fashion and style correspondents creating an umissable television experience; while model and TV host K. Naomi continues to bring her fresh approach as insert presenter.

And BET A-List has further grown its pan-african reach by adding on two correspondents, Nigerian TV host & producer Illrymz & Zimbabwean TV personality Miss Vimbai, who will be reporting on all the action and entertainment from on the ground in Nigeria.

Monde Twala, Vice President, BET, Youth & Music for Viacom International Media Networks Africa, says: “We are delighted that such big name talent as Nomzamo and Jessica will be bringing their star power to BET A-List. This home-grown show has been hugely successful since its debut last year. We will continue to keep audiences up-to-date on the latest trends on the African continent and abroad. Nomzamo and Jessica are trend-setters. So who better to join the A-List team?”

Nomzamo’s rise to fame started after she made it to the finals in the MTV Base VJ Search in 2012. In 2015, she starred in a romantic comedy film, Tell Me Sweet Something, and received an Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading role nomination at the 12th Africa Movie Academy Awards. She was named as one of the sexiest South Africans in a media poll and won the Drum Rising Star Award. No stranger to the Viacom family, she co-hosted the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) alongside Bonang Matheba and Yemi Alade showcasing Africa’s finest talent.

Jessica is well known for portraying the character of Qondi on the telenovela turned soap opera, Isibaya. She also portrayed the character of Eve on aYeYe and was the host of Our Perfect Wedding.
