Rev your engines for a thrilling ride into South Africa's car spinning culture with 'Gush'lyf'
Mzansi Magic's new show, 'Gush'lyf', offers viewers a thrilling glimpse into the high-octane world of car spinning. Image: Supplied Spinning, a thrilling motorsport culture, is heading to television screens this August, promising exciting times for enthusiasts. "Gush'lyf" offers car enthusiasts a fresh and exciting experience, blending the thrill of modern car spinning with a touch of classic style. It's the latest must-see for anyone passionate about the popular performance stunt. As most people know, the BMW 325i (Gusheshe) is usually the star of the show when it comes to spinning, and for those who appreciate the meticulousness and skill required to execute flawless drifts, this is a must-watch. Coming to Mzansi Magic, the 'Gush'Lyf' promises to deliver adrenaline-fuelled action, showcasing the lives and skills of four expert drivers, including Gift Zulu (Ngozi), Nalo Dzhivhuho (Dankie Darlie aka Queen of Smoke), Mpho Dirolo (Poroza) and Collie Golden (Mzet aka Moruti), as they push the limits of speed and agility. Each of these cast members will be showcasing their personalities, personal lives and battle skills. Spinning is a form of motorsport that involves driving cars at speed in a circular motion, performing stunts, and even getting in and out of the vehicle while it is in motion. This high-octane sport requires a unique combination of driving skills, precision and showmanship. In South Africa, spinning is more than just a stunt, it is a culture, a niche art form that demands control, a deep understanding of the vehicle, and most importantly, finesse. And showing off is part of it all. The technique and creativity that go into each spin are art on their own, and the BMW 325i is the perfect canvas for this art. With its sleek design and powerful engine, this classic model is a favourite among car enthusiasts and spinners. In 2024, the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, revealed that he aims to make spinning one of the 'biggest sports' in South Africa. 'There is one promise I'm going to make ... spinning and stance (car customisation) is not a crime. I'm so excited, because I promised that spinning will be recognised and I'm going to make spinning one of the biggest sports in this country,' he said. Spinning originated in the township of Soweto in the late 1980s and was performed by gangsters at funerals to honour the deceased. It is now a recognised motorsport where people gather at race tracks around the country, where they watch car spinning take place. 'Gush'lyf' is set to premiere on Thursday, August 7, on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) at 8pm.
