Showmax has just dropped the first trailer for Somizi & Mohale: End of the Road, an unauthorized documentary that will premiere on 25 August.
Somizi & Mohale: End of the Road follows on from the reality series Living The Dream With Somizi Season five and the tell-all special Mohale: On The Record, which respectively shared Somizi and Mohale’s conflicting perspectives. Both titles trended on Twitter and Showmax on their release.
The documentary will unpack the estranged couple’s relationship, its public breakdown amid the leaked audio of Mohale accusing Somizi of abuse, and what this meant to fans and the broader LGBTQIA+ community in South Africa.
Mohale texted Somizi on the morning of their traditional wedding: “Our wedding is going to be a story told in a way that will shake the entire continent and help people understand that loving a person of your same sex was never and will never be wrong.”
In 2020, when Somizi & Mohale: The Union set a historic moment, when Showmax mainstreamed gay marriage on a continent where it’s still largely illegal, in a country where two men marrying each other was only legalized in 2006.
Directed by Teddy Geldart from Dopezuluboi Productions, Somizi & Mohale: End of the Road will draw on MultiChoice’s extensive archive footage of the couple, as well as new interviews with the likes of Letoya Makhene-Pulumo, Jackie Phamotse, Sol Phenduka, Langa Mavuso, Peace Maphalu, Prof Cameron Modisane, Tshiamo Modisane, MaBlerh, Lumko Johnson, Yaya Mavundla, Gabi Mbele, and The Citizen’s Sandisiwe Mbhele.
