Known for stripping away public personas to examine the raw, pivotal moments of Mzansi’s most visible figures, the show returns to S3 (SABC 3) with an unsparing conversation centred on the volatile peaks of enterprise, navigating corporate failure, and finding the grace to rebuild.

High stakes and unfiltered truths: The rise and rebirth of Lekau Sehoana

Lekau Sehoana, who gained national prominence after transforming a self-taught, denim-stitched sneaker idea into the multi-million-rand Drip Footwear empire, now serves as Chief Executive Officer of Ubuhle Bendalo Investments, a holding company spanning strategic ventures across Mining, Retail, and Fintech.

His inclusion as the season premiere guest brings immense weight and real-world relevance to the Life Lessons couch. Having built one of South Africa’s most recognisable local brands before facing high-profile legal battles, liquidations, and financial turbulence, Sehoana’s journey offers an authentic case study in modern South African entrepreneurship.

Rather than shying away from his public setbacks, his interview examines the realities behind building from scratch, losing ground, and stepping back into the market with renewed focus and corporate diversification.

What to expect from ‘Life Lessons’ Season 3

Hosted by media personality Somizi Mhlongo, Life Lessons has established itself as a reflective sanctuary where high-profile figures candidly discuss their personal evolution, spiritual milestones, and hard-won resilience.

The upcoming eight-episode season features an impressive guest roster, including hip-hop icon Cassper Nyovest reflecting on his spiritual transformation, broadcaster Ntombi Ngcobo-Mzolo navigating grief, and cultural legend Zola 7 confronting severe health and life challenges.

With Lekau Sehoana opening the series, viewers can expect a masterclass in transparency, bridging the gap between business strategy and human vulnerability. The episode sets a strong tone for the season, proving that success in Mzansi is rarely a straight line, but rather a continuous journey of learning, adapting, and growing through every trial.
