From YouTube to BRAVO Africa: Kickin' It With Kim Jayde Makes History
Some milestones deserve to be celebrated loudly. This is one of them.
On 20 May 2026, we gathered at the 4DX Cinema at Numetro Hyde Park Corner to mark a moment that has been years in the making: the official launch of Kickin' It With Kim Jayde: Broadcast Edition on Bravo Africa.
The Show
Created, directed, produced, and hosted entirely by Kim Jayde Robinson through her independent production company, KJ Productions, Kickin' It With Kim Jayde began as a YouTube series and has grown into something far bigger. Season 3 is the most ambitious yet, expanding production beyond South Africa into New York and Los Angeles, with a guest lineup that includes Karl Kani, Jae Tips, Courtnaé Paul and Youngsta CPT.
Every episode. Every shoot. Every cost. Funded and executed independently by an African woman, for the world.
The Deal
The series now airs on Bravo Africa, DStv Access Channel 124, across 52 African countries in multiple languages. It is a landmark moment for African independent content and proof that a locally produced, self-funded show can earn its place on a globally recognised platform.
The Celebration
The launch event was everything the show stands for: style, culture, and intention. Johnnie Walker Africa set the tone with a bespoke sneaker-inspired cocktail bar, Sumting Fresh served up bites in custom mini Kickin' It sneaker boxes, and Kim arrived in a couture gown by Gert Johan Coetzee paired with her Reebok Shaqnosis sneakers, only at a Kim Jayde event.
Thank you to our incredible partners on the night: Numetro, Johnnie Walker Africa and Diageo, Sumting Fresh, Gert Johan Coetzee and Reebok South Africa.
Watch the recap here:
Kickin' It With Kim Jayde: Broadcast Edition airs every Monday on Bravo Africa, DStv Channel 124, at 21:10 SAST.
