Former Real Housewives of Johannesburg star Mpumi Mops returns to our television screens in the new reality show – The Mommy Club.
The Mommy Club sees five high-profile Johannesburg mom influencers navigating the challenges of parenting.
The show will kick off with a R250 000 birthday party, where some of the cast meet each other for the first time.
In addition to Mpumi Mops, the reality show features new mom Nunurai, an event planner and florist to the stars, beauty and health entrepreneur, and beauty pageant owner Ratile Mabitsela, who has five children.
“We chose these mommies because they are all fabulous, hard-working black women who have it all,” says Zinzi Velelo Alake, who produced the true-crime anthology Imibuzo for Showmax.
Zinzi says the idea for the show came from her own motherhood experiences. “After I had my child, I saw mommies who also just had children but they seemed to have it all together, better than I ever did, so that sparked my interest and I wondered if they were in some sort of ‘Mommy Club,” she added.
She hopes The Mommy Club will “show women that being a mom does not have to stop your life. You can still be glamorous, loving, young, ambitious and all things fabulous. Kids are an addition to your life; there is you before kids and there will be you after kids, so it is very important not to neglect yourself and your dreams,” said Zinzi
The Mommy Club premieres on 27 June 2023 on Showmax
