So What: Big Money, Big Dreams Stars move young lives of Durban!!

Season Two of So What: Big Money Big Dreams, whose first season was, according to the SA Advertising Research Foundation, watched by 1.4million viewers on average, moves to e.tv's 8.30pm slot on Mondays. 

The high life is still on show - drinking expensive champagne straight from the bottle, being driven around in the best cars and flying around in private jets - but is far from being original.

The first episode of season two shows how the Sushi King and Gayton McKenzie plan to give back to people. The first Durban Mentorship Programme was held at Bellagio Night Club on the 22nd of February 2012. Kenny Kunene and his team arrive in Durban King Ushaka in a private jet.

In Mr K's words: this Chopper is not what I ordered

"For us, it's a normal arrangement. It's the same as a guy being left by his bus and then takes his car," Kunene says.

Once in the more spacious chopper, Kunene and hip-hop artist Hydro (signed to Kunene's record label, Nu Money) indulge in tripe, sheep's head and dumplings while McKenzie and his daughter Moloko have a vegetarian meal.

When Mr Kunene and his team arrives at Bellagio Night Club, the mentees are are already on their toes. Mentees were told to order any drink from the bar and get ready for the meeting to start. Kenny Kunene and Gayton McKenzie took turns as they spoke to young Durbanites moved, inspired, encouraged and mostly motivated about 40-50 young Durbanites. Gayton Mckenzie said that money and oxygen were the most important things in the world and that making money was the hardest thing. He also encouraged mentees to follow their dreams despite their past or despite their current bank balance. Kenny also spoke a lot about his time in prison and explained that in the past there had been alot of difficulties but they never gave up on their dreams and stood for what they believe.

Channel etv spokesman Matlapulana Ragoasha said on Sunday Times that this season would see Kunene undertaking more international business trips.

Meet the team:

Kenny Kunene AKA "The Playboy"

Ex-confidence trickster, millionaire superstar and professional partyer, Kenny Kunene is a larger-than-life character. From a life of crime and imprisonment, he is a self-made millionaire and does not apologise for his opulence and love of the finer things in life.

Kenny has an insatiable appetite for beautiful woman, which often lands him in the media. He's impulsive, smart, charismatic, and immensely quotable. Some love him, whilst others love to hate him, but Kenny thrives on the controversy particularly when he subtly can prove others wrong.

Gayton McKenzie AKA "The Bulldog"

Former bank robber and general of the 26-gang in prison, Gayton McKenzie is the business partner and "brother" of Kenny Kunene. Gayton is a ruthless businessman who is not interested in social niceties - he is a straight shooter.

Not a fan of the wild party life as Kenny is, Gayton is the hard-working, pragmatic Director of the Empire. He has no time for incompetence and cannot stand sycophancy of false humility. He is however the voice of reason and one of the few people on earth who can tell Kenny what to do.

Moloko McKenzie AKA "Glamour Girl"

Former Miss Teen South Africa, Moloko McKenzie is good looking, smart and practical. Her underlying bitchiness is not very obvious, but cross her and you will soon discover that this hard-nosed business woman is not afraid to take on any challenge.

She is not easily seduced by the glamour around her and is a role model for South African woman. Moloko is a take charge organiser who also heads the ZAR Empire marketing team. This glamour girl is definitely a force to be reckoned with!



Simon Clarke     

Also known as Captain Awesome or Sizar if needs be.......

As the newest member of the ZAR Empire, Simon has proven himself over and over again. He is a streetwise, quick thinking, risk taker. When there is a problem that needs a solution, Simon is called in. He uses his know-how and unique brand of magic to compliment this all-star team.

Some say it's his exact character from which they created Brad Pitt in Oceans 11-13 and that he put sexy back in sexy... All we know for sure is he is amazing...

Nwabi Ntaka AKA Hydro

The odds were stacked against him, an ex-convict.......

Hydro made his debut appearance in Season 1. Fresh out of jail, Hydro wanted to change his life around and not resort back to his old ways. Kenny and Gayton soon spotted his natural talent and scooped up this brilliant Hip Hop artist. From living off the streets to now living life in style, Hydro is introduced to a world previously unknown to him. His beats are easily identifiable and you have young and old jamming to the positive messages of reform that his music delivers.
