This August, Mzansi Magic is pulling the handbrake on the ordinary and presenting Gush’lyf, a new show that drifts into a world where spinning cars is more than just a stunt.
Gush’lyf is a high-octane reality ride that follows four fearless car spinners as they skid through life’s curves, burn emotional rubber and chase more than just accolades. Behind the wheel, they are not just showing off…every cloud of smoke is a story and every drift reveals unfiltered stories of personal journeys, family, healing and passion.
The Gush’lyf Crew: Ngozi (Gift Zulu) is the soft-spoken drifter who has spent a lifetime dodging emotional ‘potholes’. Now a father himself, he is racing toward healing and ancestral reconnection, while dreaming of going back to school.
Dankie Darlie aka Queen of Smoke (Nalo Dzhivhuho) is a calculated risk-taker with a broken heart and a booming hustle. Crowned the queen of the spinning scene, she doesn’t spin for applause she spins for survival. Moreover, she is a widow whose husband died mysteriously in 2015, and she is still seeking answers on what really caused her husband’s death. Poroza (Mpho Diloro) lives life with no traction control.
An archivist by day and a spinner by night, he is chasing answers about his family name while carving his own legacy in smoke and steel. Mzet aka Moruti (Collie Golden), the reformed outlaw with a holy twist. Once a notorious car thief, now a spiritual spinner and streetwise protector, he is rewriting his story one drift at a time. Gush’lyf follows their wild journeys across showgrounds and personal battlegrounds, all culminating in the biggest national spinning showdown of the year.
Expect high-stakes battles, raw emotional moments, deep family bonds and the kind of kasi flavour that only Mzansi Magic can bring. Tune in to Gush’lyf premiering on Thursday 07 August at 20:00 only on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161). Ends.
