African personalities including comedian Celeste Ntuli, actress Connie Chiume and film-makers Jayan Moodley and Retti Ramaphakela are among the stars to feature in a new podcast by streaming platform Netflix.

“Never Late | African Time” debuts on Wednesday, May 4, and will see award-winning radio broadcaster, Andy Maqondwana, who hosts the “Feel Good with Andy Maqondwana” show on Kaya FM, and 947’s Zweli Mbhele, who hosts “NightsWithZweli” and the “Top 40”, around a table in conversations with celebrated on-screen actors and actresses from around the continent as well as film directors and producers.
