Helen Zille To Take The Hot Seat In The 2025 Showmax Roast

Showmax has announced that chairperson of the Federal Council of the Democratic Alliance DA, Helen Zille , will be the next high-profile figure to take the hot seat in the 2025 Roast.

Known for her sharp wit and unfiltered opinions, Zille is set to take the stage for a no-holds-barred evening of comedy, controversy, and entertainment.

Zille is confident that she can take the heat: People do it behind my back, so why not let them do it to my face?

Selecting the right roastee is a science, remarked Laugh Africa Comedy Festival creative director, Stuart Taylor.

'Its a fine line between a cock-up and a laugh-up, and no one walks that line quite like Helen Zille. She is a heavyweight in politics, and shes also a lady, so we will handle her with care.
