Showmax has launched Sports Wives, a new show that will tackle the intricacies of being with an athlete, same-sex marriage, and life after dating an athlete.
Meet the cast:
Bomzi September is married to ex-footballer and now coach Thabo September. “To make a marriage work, you and your partner need to choose each other daily,” says the banking app manager. “You have to choose whether or not you keep your marriage sacred. For as long as you do that, that’s when your marriage will work. With me and my husband, we choose each other daily, and we are both very principled in our choices and morals.”
Sports manager and lecturer Christa Kgamphe-Jane is not used to being in the spotlight; it’s usually her wife, Banyana Banyana player Refiloe Jane-Kgamphe, who gets attention from her legions of fans. “I am not bothered by all the love Refiloe gets from her female fans,” she says. “I love it. I mean, she is very hot, and seeing how much women want her makes me feel more proud that she’s mine.”
Clarrisa Manaças hopes that viewers will learn a few valuable lessons. After being with former Springbok Lionel Mapoe, Clarrisa feels like she neglected her dreams and goals to make sure that he was happy and taken care of. “All the ladies have something to share that is impactful,” she says. “I want people to look at us and learn from our wins and mistakes.”
Dipuo Maloi has two baby daddies: Moroka Swallows teammates Andile Jali and Lantshene Phalane. “Because I have two baby daddies who play soccer, people seem to think I am a certain way,” she says. “They have already concluded that everything I have and own is because of the men I have dated. But that is not the case; I am a very independent woman, and I’ve worked hard for every single thing I have.”
Tsholo Makgalemele-Mbane is married to Bambanani Mbane, who plays for Banyana Banyana. “I’m looking forward to viewers seeing a married lesbian couple on South African reality TV,” she said. “We live in a country where same-sex marriage is legal, but people hardly ever see couples in their most authentic way. The show has allowed me to show people the love my partner and I share. With that, I am hoping they learn something and ultimately see that we are just like everyone else. We go through ups and downs, and we love each other, just like any other couple.”
