Cinema meets conversation as House of Rampedi goes live at The Zone @ Rosebank

At the heart of this collaboration is digital content creator and storyteller Thato Rampedi, whose media network is leading the charge in turning everyday conversations into cultural moments. Alongside his brother, Lebo, their popular podcast: Seated with Lebo and Thato, has built a loyal following for its honest take on identity, relationships, and growth.
'We're excited to bring digital storytelling to life in a completely new way,' said Rampedi. 'It's more than just a show; it's about connecting with people, in person, through stories that matter.'
The evening promises an all-star lineup from the House of Rampedi, including Thought Digest, hosted by Mammi_Dearest and Caiah, and the much-loved AsMajita Collective featuring Gontse, Percy ASF, and the Rampedi brothers themselves. Audiences can expect raw conversations, lively audience engagement, and a few surprise announcements.
Ster-Kinekor's chief marketing officer Lynne Wylie said the cinema giant is eager to explore new ways to use its spaces. 'This is an exciting new chapter for us. Bringing podcasts into a live cinema setting creates a whole new kind of entertainment experience.'
As digital creators increasingly blur the line between screen and stage, this one-night event offers fans the rare chance to step into the world they usually only hear, and with tickets flying fast, it's clear that South Africans are more than ready to tune in… Live and in person.
