Speaking about some of the issues experienced, Kuluma TV spokesperson, Chantelle Palm said the show faced numerous production challenges relating to South Africa’s hard lockdown less than a week after the first show was aired.  

“As soon as production was allowed, the team pulled through and managed to get their first season in the can and on the air,” said Kuluma TV spokesperson, Chantelle Palm.

“Viewers are encouraged to watch, like and share the videos from their favourite customisers through the King of Customs Facebook page,” added Palm, explaining that the reactions, including views, shares and likes, tallied over the first 30 days count towards a final score to determine the titular King of Customs.

One of its presenters is also a Queensburgh local, Gareth Charles who features in the video interview of Lalla.
