From 24 October, VIA invites viewers on an unforgettable culinary adventure in Jan. In this new show we meet South Africa’s very own Michelin-star chef, Jan-Hendrik van der Westhuizen, in Nice.

Die skatties, which starts on 4 October, is a makeover in celebration of strong women. In every episode, the beloved Christi Panagio and her makeover team transform a special guest in the
