"Season 5 of Behind The Story starts in October with Nomalanga Shozi as the new host," Phil tweeted.
He also applauded the channel for its efforts to elevate Nomalanga's career all these years.
"Gotta commend BET for sticking with Nomalanga Shozi. Viacom or whoever handles talent at BET Africa has put their full support behind her. Shem, they plug the lady. She was even on Isono. She does all BET events coverage, etc. Reminds me of what SABC1 used to do for its talent"
Sharing the exciting news on her social media platforms, Nomalanga said she is where she is today because of hard work.
"You’ll know my story in due time. For now, just know it wasn’t easy and I worked. Hard," she tweeted.

Pearl Thusi also took to Twitter to congratulate Nomalanga on her new gig. " So excited for @RealNomalanga and wish her and the show nothing but the best," tweeted Pearl.
Pearl does not shy away from celebrating other females in the industry.

You are a marvel, superwoman, mom, and gift to this industry! Like I said yesterday your insights, values, and philosophy on life had me stunned.
