Speaking to The Citizen, production company head Legend Manqele said: “We had the interview, we felt that he (AKA) could trust our process, so we enlisted the professional help of an independent journalist. For us, we felt it was Thembekile Mrototo, who was able to be independent, make sure he was pushed and asked the tough questions.”

Manqele said the interview will aired on their YouTube channel on Saturday evening, at 7pm. Adding they felt that route was best suited for an uncut version without any manipulation, adding the interview was conducted at AKA’s home.
