The Most Wanted TV host openly shared that he plans to venture into politics in 2026.

He said:

"I'm going to be a popular face in 2026 with regards to politics, and I'm excited about it. Being a leader and hustler — a person who has made so many mistakes — the 'Black Power Movement' is on the cards."

Lukhele further shared that he is who he is because of prison; the star shared how being behind bars shaped him into a better person. Themba mentioned that he will also be hosting a Live show at Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, in March 2025 with Sylvester Mofokeng, a multiple murderer and two-time prison escapee who was sentenced to 145 years in jail and 10 life sentences by the Johannesburg high court.
