The fifth season of Living the Dream With Somizi (LTDWS), winner of the 2020 SAFTA for Best Structured or Docu-Reality Show, is now streaming first on Showmax. 

Season 5 picks up in the second half of 2021, in the aftermath of Somizi’s split from Mohale, Mohale’s accusations of abuse against Somizi, and the passing of Somizi’s mother, legendary actress Mary Twala (This Is Not A Burial, It’s A Resurrection). As the season starts, Somgaga’s career is at a crossroads: he is taking time off from Idols and Metro FM, and has replaced his management team with himself, as he looks to add a kids clothing store to the Sompirre.

“It’s been a rollercoaster,” says Somizi, “but the dream never dies, no matter how crazy things may get. Angeke. Life isn’t always easy, but we must remember that the hard times are there to teach us.”

Season 5 also sees Somizi exploring his calling and working on his relationships with his daughter Bahumi and his baby-momma, Palesa Madisakwane, who is still recovering from a horrific, near-fatal car crash in 2019. 

Season 5 of Living The Dream With Somizi is streaming first on Showmax, with all episodes now available to binge-watch. Catch up on Seasons 1-4 on Showmax.
