The Sandton Convention Centre was a glittering hotspot on Friday night as the “Showmax Roast of Helen Zille” turned political banter into comedy gold.

Part of the Laugh Africa Comedy Festival, this star-studded affair, streaming from May 16, had South Africa’s A-listers throwing shade at DA federal chairperson Helen Zille with razor-sharp humour.

Roast master Trevor Gumbi stole the spotlight, channeling Hannibal Lecter, in a daring white jumpsuit and face mask, a creepy-chic vibe that screamed bold. Co-roast master Tumi Morake lit up the black carpet in a sleeveless red gown, radiating elegance and wit.
