From YouTube to the small screen. Season three of award-winning TV presenter and entrepreneur Kim Jayde’s talk show “Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde” is set to premiere on Bravo Africa.

“Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde” is created, directed, produced, and hosted by Kim Jayde Robinson and has been an organic success that began on YouTube. The eight-episode talk show will air weekly at 9.10pm, spotlighting lifestyle and pop culture with celebrity interviews.

Season three shows just how much the production has grown, as it incorporates places outside of South Africa, such as the creative hubs of New York and Los Angeles, taking things beyond sneaker culture.

“Bravo Africa is where bold personalities and iconic stories live, and I am beyond ecstatic that ‘Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde’ has now joined the schedule,” said Jayde.

Jayde explains that the moment is special to her as it represents that young Africans can achieve their dreams.

“What makes this moment so special to me is what it represents, not just for me, but for every young African with a big dream and the audacity to chase it; if you stay true to your vision, you can start on YouTube and end up on a beloved TV channel! 

“Season 3 is the series biggest, most ambitious chapter yet, and I cannot wait for the audience to see it,” said Jayde.

Over the season, audiences can expect the star-studded lineup of guests, including urban streetwear originator Karl Kani; multi-award-winning designer and cultural tastemaker JaeTips; two-time African breakdancing champion Courtnaé Paul and rapper Youngsta CPT, who makes history with his first sneaker collaboration.

Season three of “Kickin’ It with Kim Jayde” – Broadcast Edition will premiere on Bravo Africa (DStv 124) on Monday, May 25, 2026.
