    Penny Lebyane takes over as season 3 host of “The Big Secret”

    Radio and TV personality Penny Lebyane was recently announced as the new host of “The Big Secret” hosted by Khanyi Mbau in season one and Masechaba Ndlovu in season two.Penny Lebyane

    In this season, which kicked off on November 19, the guests face off in a tell-all session where the person revealing the big secret gets to come clean on a deep secret.
    It’s been said that the first episode was already a dramatic affair with the offender in the big secret coming face to face with the revealer in the presence of family and friends, who are hearing the news for the first time.

    Lebyane announced her departure from Honey TV ‘s “Sangoma, Khanyisa!” in October this year, after hosting the show for two seasons.

    Lebyane told IOL Entertainment that the decision to join “The Big Secret” has been exciting and challenging as the show deals with real issues. “It’s exciting, fun and challenging because we deal with South Africans from all walks of life on their real issues.

    “I understand that the challenge of trying to have conversations with your loved ones because of the cultural backgrounds we come from, especially as a young person trying to articulate something to a parent, whether it’s a lover who is keeping a secret from a partner.penny labyane “Because of my background in the mental health space, I know how it can be so I brought in a lot of my understanding of that to just presenting this gig and not treating it like just another presenting show, it’s more of a mediator/facilitator thing. “Viewers can expect me to be empathetic and, at the same time, I’m not going to take the responsibility of dealing with what you need to do.”

    In her role as the show host Lebyane is tasked with offering support and guidance as guests reveal their deep secrets in the hopes of freeing themselves of the burden of the big secret.

    She added: “I’m a real person and I do understand that we are making television but I do draw from my real life and I aim to treat the guests with respect and dignity. I love having conversations with ordinary South Africans.”

    Penny Lebyane: Babes Wodumo is a danger to Herself

    Penny Lebyane has taken a moment to call out singer, Babes Wodumo after the gqom queen trended for apparently cyberbullying Lady Zamar in a video that went viral this week. In case you missed the story, Twitter was not at all pleased with Babes Wodumo who was captured on video insulting Lady Zamar’s acne. The Monarch singer has opened up about how her struggles with acne have impacted her self esteem and Babes’ mean comments (which came out of nowhere, it must be said) were seen as a low blow.

    While the country dragged Babes Wodumo for the umpteenth time, the people’s advocate Penny Lebyane decided that the singer needed a stern talking-to and she didn’t mince her words when she commented on Babes’ latest saga writing on Instagram:

    Babes Wodumo

    She is a danger to herself, a ticking time bomb with wires crossed were it matters the most the head. The noise in her head is so loud she can’t hear anything. Its what happens when a gimmick is confused for talent. Sustainability idiotic concept.

    Grammar and spelling aside, many people agreed with Penny that Babes Wodumo appeared to be spiralling. Unfortunately for those people, the Wololo star doesn’t appear to give a single (insert word rhyming with “duck”) and has responded with a short but not-so-sweet reply on Twitter:

     

    Penny tried to reach out one more time, pointing out that Babes Wodumo needed help but the singer appeared to be oblivious to the assistance she was being offered.
